I have been holding out hope that PJ would make their way through Denver this summer as we are hosting the Democratic National Convention at the end of August. Then I see this little quote in today's Denver Post:
*****
"Denver impresario Chuck Morris holds a news conference Tuesday morning to feed us the deets on the Mile High Music Festival. As The Denver Post already told you, it'll be at the soccer fields of Dick's Sporting Goods Park on July 19 and 20.
"It'll be the largest music festival ever seen in Colorado by far," Morris told me. "And the first of many."
It's been widely surmised that Tom Petty will be one of the acts at the fest, playing July 19 along with touring companion Steve Winwood. Morris won't confirm or deny anything — but he says the lineup will blow our minds with established and emerging acts.
So what do we know? It'll rock the soccer fields on five stages, two of them under tents, one tent as big as a football field. The fest, which could have as many as 50 acts, will run from noon to 11 p.m. each day. And you can expect as many as 50,000 to show up, some of whom will get to enjoy a VIP experience."

I know there is nothing specific to PJ in there, but one can dream, no?

I've heard nothing regarding PJ.
"Promoter Chuck Morris, joined by Gov. Bill Ritter and Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, today will confirm one of the worst-kept secrets in the local music scene.
The inaugural Mile High Music Festival will be headlined by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers on July 19, with the Dave Matthews Band closing out the next night.
Only the Telluride Bluegrass Festival challenges the festival in terms of number of acts for a Colorado concert. But the Mile High fest has a scope that ranges from veterans John Mayer and Steve Winwood to fan favorites such as The Black Crowes and Rodrigo y Gabriela and up-and-comers like the Flobots. Altogether more than 35 acts are confirmed for the festival, with more on the way."
Petty, DMB, John Mayer, Black Crowes, OAR.......
Plenty of PJ fans are in Denver.
Come on out to Denver. I moved here last week. I love it here.
82 shows and counting
As long as they don't boo again...maybe the love for bush has simmered a bit after seeing what he has done over the last 5 years...
Oh please, I was at that show...I think one person booed...Denver loves PJ (and Democrats)
