I will be patient and wait for something semi normal

I hear ya. This is our usual vacation money for this trip. We also put away money for regular PJ shows each year too. I too hope there are some other US dates this summer. Hopefully out west. I have friends out there I'd like to see.

I just can't pass up this opportunity. My wife's sister and her husband are going to fly in from Tucson for it so it's a chance to hang with them. We don't get to very often.

i hear ya also...and like i said godbless

as ive mentioned..im not comfy in this type of setting so even though its a once in a lifetime event..i would rather spend my pj vacation in a city i would enjoy

wisconsin and farms does nothing for me..just beinghonest..
plus im not down with lawns and struggling to bathrooms and everything involved in a festival ..call me a sissy or whatever but its just not my gig

i almost hope my info goes bad and its somwhere else

ComeToTX

if this is what it ends up being then there will be one less person trying for tickets. it's one thing to fly somewhere to see them but flying and then driving to the middle of nowhere to sit on a hot lawn is a no go for me. was hoping for something in a metro area (chicago).

Can someone honestly tell me what is so great about Alpine? I have read posts by people wanting the band to play Alpine again, but after looking at those photos it doesn't look like a great venue at all.

Am i missing something?

it's a storied venue. it's also nice for a change to get out of the concrete jungle and just taker eaz...

like the gorge or red rocks without the beauty...

pearl jam on a screen...super

Do you think the pj weekend bash/other tour dates will come out in one official announcement or separately?

I definitely want to go to the weekend bash...but I also would like to visit friends in Seattle this year.If they have west coasts dates I was going to see pearl jam while I was out there. Depending on total costs of everything...I may have to make a decision between the two.

Looks just like a regular shed to me. I don't care I still plan on going if this is the location. Flights are too cheap to pass it up.

That's cool - cos I'm planning a trip to see Seattle friends this year too - long overdue, and I don't think I can manage the festival as well - unless it's closer. I think I might be able to hit a Seattle show though, and maybe take in a secret show or two! Let me know if you hear of any won't you??

a seattle show just seems logical if you do the math. i'd bet on a seattle show before the festival...

Alpine is just like any outdoor venue...

If it is a sunny 75-80 degree day....Then ya bring your grill, bring some beverages and party all day in the parking lot.....And have a GREAT TIME!!!!

If it rains??? Then Alpine will be a disaster.....

As to what is so special about Alpine??? Nothing
Its just like any other outdoor venue....

It's more so of an experience. Many people make the trek from all over the midwest and spend the weekend camping or at a hotel. Tailgating at Alpine is absolutely awesome if the weather is nice. People shoot fireworks off after the show and party in the lots until they kick you out around 1. The scenery is spectacular the backdrop is a ski hill and rolling, wooded hills. Lake Geneva is close by; last time PJ played I spend the weekend at The Cove Hotel and played golf the day after the show. Some people I know have boats that they use to entertain friends on show weekends.

It's special to lots of people because it's a vacation, not just a show you drive to for the night.

i am so happy - i dont know anything about Alpine Valley but i can't wait to find out ----

STONEd and dAMENT-ED

I am not going to talk trash on Alpine seeing as how I've never been there. For anyone who has been to all three, is Alpine any more special than the Gorge or Shoreline? Just trying to gauge if this is a venue that you'd not want to miss out on. I know PJ has expressed how much they like playing there.

shoreline is not the place for that, but if it's there is 10 miles from home, SO BRING IT ON!!!
