I love outdoor venues, too.... I can't remember if they've played Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto before, but I love going to summer concerts there (they would definitely have to make 100 level GA for PJ ).... Olympic Island in Toronto would also be a good outdoor venue for them (except that it takes 2+ hours to get everyone ferried off the island after the show...)
Wrigley Field seems like the only place in Chi they haven't played
They haven't played Northerly Island, that would be cool.

I was wondering if this could ever be of any help to the band. I hear there's touring to be done next year, so how about we get in now with our REALISTIC suggestions. We've all seen the wonderful venues they played in Italy in 206, on the dvd, so I figure it'd be nice to see the band in a slightly more 'unusual' setting. I mean Wembley Arena is ok, but a bit of a 'carachterless barn' all the same.
Give a brief case why it could happen, I mean who knows...maybe some of this info could be passed on and used......that's a nice thought.
Let's keep it realistic folks, i.e...don't bother with 'my garden/garage/bedroom'....etc....
I'll go first...Cardiff Castle, Cardiff. Wales. UK.
Capacity, usually 10,000
Pros, city centre so good transport links, dramatic, picturesque setting.
People who played there...Queen/Stereophonics/Green Day/Rolling Stones...amongst others
Yeah a return to Brixton is about due, hopefully next time around eh...

You request two places in Ann Arbor and Wrigley? I don't think I like you.
However, I would go to the Wrigley show, but a show at Comiskey (US Cellular Field would also be cool. Very unlikely, because the casual fan won't go.
Other places I would love:
Alpine Valley
Charter One Pavilion (There would have to be multiple nights)
St. John's Arena (They never have played on the OSU campus; the Schott would also work)
The old MECCA in Milwaukee
The Joyce ACC (I don't know if the Notre Dame folks would let it go)
Other college venues
In general, I would love smaller places (12,000-14,000 people). I'm sick of these newer, large basketball arenas. No More United Center.

that would be awesome!! and I don't know about weather screwing up the sound but I saw them in the pouring rain here in 96 and the show kicked ass!!
Need to do something about the parking lot situation though.

These people bashing SPAC are outside of their mind!!! SPAC is an unbelievable place to see a show. Wander around all day in the park and have a good time. Also there is a balcony which = more 10c seats. Did I mention the sound there is world class. Last point, if they play in August you can go bet on the pony's all day before heading over to the show.
oof! really? the randalls island dustbowl? not only is the sound absolute crap, but you can't see jack from 2/3 of the place ... especially if PJ doesn't use the (super-crappy) jumbotron, as is their habit.
i'd pull for an allman bros.-style march madness stand at the beacon ... 10-12 shows over the course of the month. acoustics are insane and the place is a step up venue-wise from roseland, hammerstein, etc.
and for israel venues, definitely massada @ dawn. david broza played there with jackson browne and it was f-ing amazing.
Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.
Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.
While the concept is cool, it'd be a huge shit-fest. Drunk frat boys all over the place, an impossible parking situation, not to mention expensive, impossible-to-get tickets, and a shitty-ass sound system.

Be nice to see them move away from the Entertainment Centre's in Australia and especially Acer Arena, Sydney. After playing RITFW with U2 @ Sidney Myer Music bowl in Melbourne be nice to see them go back there and with all the amazing wineries they could play.
Here's the Bimbadgen Estate, Hunter Valley, I saw the John Butler Trio there and it was a beautiful place. Probably holds 5,000 so that could be the Newcastle, NSW area show maybe?

I'd like to see them at the Post Gazette Pavilion again near Pittsburgh. PJ should also do 2 nights the next time they come to Pittsburgh, whether it's at PGP or Mellon Arena.
PJ should also NEVER play the amphitheater in Camden again. That venue is a shit hole and the sound sucks. Not to mention the hassles from the police I've read about.

it would suck getting tickets!!
but be an awesome show for sure!

Hey- it happened in 2004, why not again?!?!
Up here so high the sky I scrape...
I'm so high I hold just one breath here within my chest...
Just like my innocence...
Verizon Wireless Ampitheatre at Encore Park- Alpharetta, GA
I saw Tom Petty and Steve Winwood there, great arena.
Or I'd settle for The Fox Theater in Atlanta or Phillips Arena in Atlanta. For a big arena, it is a surprisingly great place to see a concert.
And he who forgets, will be destined to remember...
everywhere else Im down with. Seen Live @ Nokia...nice place
