Why Pearl Jam will never again play Alpine Valley (Theory)

tylerj1462

I was reading that Radiohead planned there upcoming US tour based on a study that showed tours that played only city centers cut back on carbon emissions. The idea is if you play where the people are they wont let off a bunch of car emissions driving to see you. City centers also have public transportation. If Pearl Jam or any other band bought into this idea Alpine Valley would be the last place they would play, its in the middle of nowhere. 40 mins from Milwaukee, an hour and 40 from Chicago (guessing).

But maybe if we all promise to only flush after going No. 2 they will still play Alpine.

Well, they are playing at least one, if not two shows in Mansfield, MA .... about 30 miles south of Boston ... and there is no public transporttion to the site ... so .... I'd say Alpine Valley is still a potential location based on that fact.

That's true, but I know PJ really worries about this when playing there. The venue is just to great to not
