What is so great Alpine Valley?

I pretty much agree with everything people have written about Alpine. It's just a special place to see a show. It's a bitch getting out of there, but its usually well worth it. The Rage show last summer was out of control. That would make my summer if PJ played there.....

The parking lot can be tricky. But if you really wanna get out of there. There are ways you can get out fast. It all depends I guess. Buy after a show its always fun to chill in the parking lot.

I've been talking up Alpine Valley for the longest time on here. I want the people that think Alpine sucks to come and see. Cause when PJ plays Alpine its a special nite everytime. We that have been there know this already.

i was only 15 at the time so it was kinda overhwelming (my first rock concert) with so much smoke. it was actually a relief for me to smell weed cuz it was better than cigarettes. loved the smell of weed ever since

I think there's a decent chance that they might play either Red Rocks or Alpine. We shall see.

Alpine Valley is very bad for the very drunk. Ive seen many of dumb drunkards rolling down the hill. Great atmosphere at the place, even in '00. '03 was one of my favorite concerts ive ever seen and '00 was about as cold as a couple of Cubs Opening days ive been to. Its been a long time since they've played there so why not come in early september and do a couple of shows.

RATM @ Alpine gave me pneumonia! :(

Seriously though, you're right... I know there had to have been blood mixed in with mud on some of those steeper slopes by the rails at the top. :eek:

I would like to see a show there when it looks like the picture someone posted.

Yea I heard that from a few people. We stayed for a little bit and then drove around the mud. We kinda knew a way to go having both worked there in 1999.

something about the place and its atmosphere. the tailgating, the huuuggeeeee lawn, the wooden roof/rafters, the way you jhave to drive into the middle of fucking nowhere just to see a show is pretty cool, and just the overwhelming presence of amazing shows that have been there.

also the sad history of stevie ray vaughn adds something to it.

I saw Iron Maiden there and it is a cool place. It is a very big place and worthy of a huge band like Pearl Jam. Although when I saw Iron Maiden there, they were already not that ...........I don't know I liked them and a lot of people I am sure did as well, but the metal thing was already moving on and I guess that may be why it was pretty poorly attended. But as for the venue, yeah, it is a very nice place as far as scenery and open fields go......
