    I'd like to see them play the Gorge again. I was kind of hoping they would of done it this past centre. When they opted to play only a single show in Seattle for the '13 tour I assumed they had a good reason for it (like planning a Summer show at the Gorge), but I was wrong.

    I saw Tom Petty at the Gorge this past summer which was pretty good, but PJ there again would be awesome.

    Then again I'm pretty much for any show that takes within a few hundred miles of where I live :)

    Thirty Something hour road trip from my place to the Gorge, with all the sites in between.....I have to see that place in person at least one time before I die !

    I'm there !!!

    But, I'll probably fly back :))

    That's an insane drive. The longest drive I ever did to the Gorge was in '06. I ended up moving from Victoria to Edmonton a few weeks before the Gorge shows. Rather than eat the tickets we drove to see them. I think it was something like a 15 hour drive. Drove from Edmonton to Calgary to SE B.C. to Idaho, then East on the I90 through Washington to the Gorge. It was a pretty sweet drive. Maybe 15 hours total. We split it up on the way there (started driving after work and got into Sandpoint Idaho pretty late). We did it in a day on the way back.

    30 hours would be brutal :) Unless you had some serious time off the break up the drive in see stuff on the way there.

    Ya, it's just a thought at this point and I'm thinking 2 weeks of vacation would definitely be needed to break it up and be able to stop and stay at a few places on the way. But it is a really far drive ! 15 hours is about the longest drive I've ever done as well, but I was more pressed for time. I'll probably just chicken out and fly, especially if more dates are included on the west coast. My chances would be higher to do it if it was a destination type weekend thing. Road tripping always sounds fun, but sometimes it can turn into a hassle. I'm sure there's a lot of the great outdoors to be seen from here to there though !

    The Gorge is the best music venue there is! I haven't been to many on the east coast, but I doubt they beat the gorge. Red rocks is a close second.

    Theoretically I've done worse. In 1998 I drove across Canada. From Vancouver Island (where I live) to the East Coast of Newfoundland. It's why I went to the Missoula '98 show. I was thinking I wouldn't be back for Vancouver/Seattle. Missoula's timing was right and it was maybe a 6 hour detour from Calgary. Anyways we took 4 weeks doing the 7500km out to Newfoundland. Once we got there we were low on funds and started getting the bug to get home. Then I realized that theoretically it was only 5 days until PJ's show in Vancouver. So we drove 7500km in 5 days (I think we had drove through the night 2 out of the 5). I would of had to do the drive anyways to get home, but I definitely ramped it up to get back to see PJ... so depending on your point of view that maybe the furtherest I've ever driven to see PJ :)

    Edit: I should probablly add that after coming home from that epic trip, one of the first things I did was asked my little brother if he wanted to go see PJ. All of a sudden we're racing to ticketmaster to try and get tickets, racing to the ferry, then racing to Seattle. Got to the stage about 5 mins before their set started... EPIC :)

    but yah I want a Gorge show :)

    I drove straight from Chicago to the Missoula show in 2012 so I wouldn't miss it. Actually started in NYC but Chicago was the last place I slept. Okay wait this is supposed to be in support of the GORGE SHOW in 2015! Yeah I would drive from anywhere. Destination Peace Jam Weekend and make it a whole weekend!!!

    This has to happen even....or Red Rocks. But the Pacific Northwest is where I want to be. It would be special. These guys are on such a roll that they don't want to lose the momentum they are having. 10-15 Years ago they would never been able to sell out most of those cities on there latest tour. They are a rarity and new fans that may have never had interest before showed up and it shows that people appreciate longevity and quality music. More Albums, Lost Dogs 2, DVD's needs to happen.

    It's at least an 18 hour drive from where I live, one way. Play the Gorge, me and my truck need to eat up some pavement.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    I don't think live nation/ticketmaster would go for that. Gorge is a live nation venue. But that would be fucking sweet.
