    This is a shame though people here geting pissed at eachother and the powers that be just sit there and let all this speculation continue with out one word from them ....


    Somehow that manages to happen with every single announcement the band makes. Tour dates, box sets, tickets, socks....anything. Fights always break out here and it's almost always due to lack of communication. They just let the fights happen then mysteriously lock threads without acknowledging what is being asked.

    In this case however, I can actually see the details not being hammered out yet so there really is nothing to say although it would be nice if someone would chime in and say "You guys might want to stop with the reservations..." or "You guys are on the right track..." we all know they will never do that because they are better than us and above doing something like that. I think the info that is usually leaked here (this or the boxed sets) is generally spot on so maybe it is along further than I think.


    no word is better than half words. think abouot it, if they said it was right on track, than everyone would book flights and hotels and cars. than if they date is changed, or god forbid, it doesn't happen, everyone that booked would be bitching non stop.

    until it's officially a go, they shouldn't announce anything specific.

    but of course, that won't stop people from booking stuff now, but they won't have any body to blame but their selves

    Dude, why do you have to twist everything everyone says around to make them Debbie Downers? I never complained about Alpine Valley other than than that the sound sucks at amphitheaters and that there are only 9,000 covered seats? So if there are more than 4,500 ten club members who want seats there are going to be quite a few people complaining. It will actually be harder to get seats for this than MSG and we know how that went.

    36 miles from Milwaukee is still about an hour drive on a concert day and longer to get back.

    I completely agree. There is no way an announcement should or will come before everything is completely planned out.

    i'm not twisting anything. go back and read your 9:11 and 9:24 posts.


    36 miles is nothing as long as you are smart and don't get hammered at a show.

    it takes me 45 minutes to go home after events at teh United Center. an hour post show isn't a biggie unless you are drunk

    The lodging will be a nightmare, that's not a complaint, nor is it being a Debbie Downer. Why would people want to stay over an hour away from the venue when there are plenty of better venues out there where this doesn't have to happen.

    Am I going to go no matter what, yep.

    It took me 20 minutes to walk back to my hotel from the United Center when I saw them in Chicago. And if it was at Wrigley the train is right outside the stadium.

    Absolutely. Anyone who is forced to stay outside of Alpine Valley, for example in Milwaukee or Chicago is in for a rude awakening. Is Alpine Valley a gorgeous place, indeed. Does it make much sense? Not in my opinion.

    Not just for the drive but for the fact that only 4500 members at the most will get seats. And with the lawn you might as well get a telescope.

    Not everyone needs to get a skewed idea about everything because of your opinions.

    Lets all just be happy and excited and make arrangements as needed.
    And, if anyone needs help or has questions, ask some of us- reliable sources of info.

    Here is a poem I came across...

    The Right Kind of People

    By: Edwin Markham

    Gone the city, gone the day,
    Yet still the story and the meaning stay:
    Once where a prophet in the palm shade based,
    A traveler chanced at noon to rest his mules.
    “What sort of people may they be,” he asked,
    “in this proud city on the plains o’erspread?”
    “Well, friend, what sort of people whence you came?”
    “What sort?” the packman scowled; “why, knaves and fools!”
    “You’ll find the people here the same,” the wise man said.
    Another stranger in the dusk drew near,
    And pausing, cried, “What sort of people here
    in your bright city where yon towers arise?”
    “Well, friend, what sort of people whence you came?”
    “What sort?” the pilgrim smiled, “Good, true, and wise.”
    “You’ll find the people here the same,” the wise man said.


    People's experiences depend entirely on their attitude.
