The music on both days was very good. But main stage should have been Cold War Kids, Beck and Radiohead on Friday. Also, they have to relocate that stage which had Beck/Widespread on it as the sight lines were horrible unless you were near the stage.<br><br>That having been said, Radiohead great despite the glitches. Beck really good. And on Sunday, great performances by Bon Iver (it was nice to see a sizeable crowd checking them out), Sharon Jones and Wilco, who was my favorite performance of the weekend.

I chose to not see Beck so I could get relatively close for Radiohead and it was worth it. I had never seen them before and was mesmerized. Saturday was decent ... caught Abigail Washburn (w/ Bela Fleck), Devendra Banhart, Galactic, and Cake. But, I thought Sunday was the best day. We hung out at the Twin Peaks stage all day for ALO, Stars (they were okay, not quite my cup o' tea), Andrew Bird (awesome!), Broken Social Scene (very cool), and finally Wilco. After all that, we didn't need to venture over to main stage for Jack Johnson. All in all ... a great festival. I went to all three days and thought it was, overall, a great festival.
