Everybody guessed it....I'm confirming it for sure

And nobody was ready for my north of the border comment

Some friends and I chatted with Mike briefly at the Brad show in LA in December and he said that it was 98% sure they would be touring Canada this summer. Canada is always fun for shows.

So, can I ask those that have been to Alpine Valley... is it a decent venue? I hear such mixed things about it, so I'm not sure what to think. Thoughts??

its an awesome venue.

alpine is a great venue. Personally, i don't mind not being close to the stage at outdoor venues, think i prefer the lawn a little more, so that alone puts me in an ok spot. I think the place has good sound compared to other local outdoor venues and for some reason bands seem to really enjoy themselves there which usually makes the show better. I think it's a really cool place to see a show and aside from traveling there I don't think too many people should worry about not enjoying themselves...if weather will comply, it's pearl jam and a bunch of other bands on a warm summer day/night. i don't need anything more

That one line alone sells me on the thought. We've seen it time and time again - when the band is enjoying themselves, it is absolutely contagious and will be impossible for us not to!

I'm guessing it's the DMB festival too, but maybe we'll get lucky. I'd be surprised to hear about it now when there hasn't even been a mention of other things that are supposed to happen sooner (the Ed solo album, Ed solo US tour). Looking forward to tomorrow now though

congrats and good luck!!!! You have nothing to worry about it wont be anytime in July.

How does anybody know for sure at this point? I know they originally said end of summer, but maybe they tried to do that and everyone's schedules didn't work out. Who knows...

Well, I'm glad to hear some positive reviews.

I must say I have heard that the sound quality isn't great and that it turns into a pit if the weather isn't good. But I guess you are always going to hear good and bad... I'll focus on the good.

you have to....think about the positive that is.

I've seen 7 shows there and didn't notice the sound quality, which usually means the sound quality is good. The only time you notice it is when it's shit.

All those shows, Deftones, Pearl Jam, DMB (4x), Radiohead, have been unbelievable and the atmosphere has always been great. It's just a total blast. I could go on and on about why I like it so much. The only bad thing, Stevie Ray's helicopter went down there, so that's kind of a bummer.

Just FYI, this announcement was about a Jimmy Buffet concert at Alpine on June 25th.

As far as the Pearl Jam festival goes, Ament says that the band is looking to finalize the location and the other bands on the bill by the end of March and announce everything in April. "We've reached out to a few [other bands]. It's mostly people that we're friends with. I don't think that anybody's fully signed on yet. We're not 100% where we're going to have it yet, so it's a little bit tricky... If it's Labor Day, that's three or four months; that should be plenty of time for people to make reservations."

So we are to assume Jeff is lying about it not being 100% decided as to where it will be? Call me a fool, but I'm going on Jeff's word.

At least we know now they are planning to make the announcement in April. That's a start. And he said it's likely to be around Labor Day people can tentatively plan for time off at work.
