pj20 was meant to be a one off celebration of 20 year..not an annaul event..it would take some of the gloss of last year for me if this went ahead in the same venue.especially for overseas fans that travelled so far to be at a event .if heald annually would not be as meaningfull.
ok do a big open air show once a year but not at aplin again or at least not so soon after pj20
just my 2cents worth
I would really be shocked if this rumor was about another festival type weekend. I was assuming this would just be a regular PJ show, hopefully followed by a fall US tour.

I think one thing that's getting lost in this is that PJ playing a weekend at Alpine Valley needn't be PJ playing a festival weekend at Alpine Valley.
Or even, this term PJ21 could just be someone's joke about returning to the scene of PJ20 weekend.
They played regular concerts at Alpine Valley before PJ20 weekend. No reason to think they couldn't play regular concerts there after it.
On the upside, if they don't bring 12 hours of music to AV each day the tailgating scene is so much more to behold.

Last year was amazing. I would go again in a heartbeat. Just can't see how this year would be a bad thing at all. Wouldn't take anything away from last year for me.
Weekend full of kick ass bands + Pearl Jam.............
I live in Wisconsin and i have a very hard time believing this. Dont get me wrong... I would love to have Pearl Jam play at Alpine every year for three years on Labor Day weekend but I just dont see it.
I was kind of hoping that they would play at Wrigley Field with the Boss this year instead.
Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

Not year-to-year. The association is inevitable, festival or not, given the location and that the rumored date is Labor Day like PJ20 was. I am all for US shows, but this seems a bit risky given how temperamental PJ fans can be (every third thread is OMFG thing/event/sale XXXXX was so unfair to me!).

+1 But rooms nearby are scarse.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
ride"!

Just curious about the awkward statement. Having never been to the Gorge, is it any easier to get there for people flying in for the show than Alpine is? I would definitely like to experience a show at the Gorge but it seems from looking at maps that it is quite a drive from either Seattle or Spokane.
If they're going to do something like this again, why not do the Gorge this year?
Wisconsin was awkward but people thought it was just that one time so they went. Now, it's just an impractical location without a special occasion. :?
I got molested by TSA in Wisconsin, apparently I was 'suspicious'...yes, that was awkward.
The Gorge is about 3 hours from Seattle, but there are campgrounds and other cities with hotels nearby (same distance as hotels in relation to Alpine). Oh, and the Gorge has way better parking and parking staff, I've never been in such a clusterfuck after a show!
Oh, and average precipitation for the Gorge in August-September is 0.33"-0.44", average temps of 62-85.
Anyway...tailgating pals have already reserved rooms. I'll have to save some money, but I agree...if they do it again this year, it just won't be the same, most of the people who went last year that came from overseas probably won't go this year. Not saying it won't be fun...it just won't hold the same meaning.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

You are right about that parking lot. I've been going to shows there since it opened and it is always a CF trying to get out. Thanks for the info about the Gorge. I'm ready for some more PJ shows anywhere in the US!

Just add a little east coast tour on the way home from Wisconsin.
They havent has a three year gap in east coast shows since 2000-2003. Maybe the band finally got tired of us.
