Since everybody is starting threads about Bonnaroo(spelling?) with no real evidence I thought I would start a thread for Alpine Valley.

For me and Patrickredeyes.(You are welcome in advance).

Sleater-Kinney is getting back together to open for this show. And, Chris Cornell, Robert Plant and many others will be there is join in on some songs.


Who knows, maybe Eddie or Stone will read this and go..."Fuck, that's a good idea. I wish I would of thought of that. I should give this guy front row tickets, and backstage passes."
My whole life looked like a picture of a sunny day.


Summerfest 95, 06 Alpine 92, 98, 00, 03 Chicago 95, 98, 00, 03, 06, 07 Grand Rapids 04, St. John's 05 Milwaukee 08

    If you were there in 2003 you know how freaking great that show was. I was listening to the 2003 this morning. Thinking and hoping for some good news on Tuesday about Alpine.

    I hope PJ plays alpine in 08, but I wouldn't put any money on it. The band is mainly going to play festivals now, I think. Jeff alluded to the band cutting back on the traditional long tours in several 06/07 interviews.

    I believe its been 5 years since they played MSG and the south as well!!!! I agree with speedy! You guys are making me sick with this Alpine BS!!! I do believe they played summerfest in Wisconson last tour! Why do you make it about a venue. Christ I just want them to play some shows in the states I don't care where they play just play already. Its been since July and I am jonesin for a show. I mean they played St Andrews Hall in Detroit which is a tiny club you don't see me saying play St Andrews you haven't since the the early years. Thats all I am saying JUST PLAY US DATES!!!!!!!!!!!
    Yellow Ledbetter is my least favorite song. Because as soon as you hear the first note you know it is time to say goodbye.

    There's lots of evidence pointing to Bonnaroo. Notice the mockingbird and the coffee in Kat's "Tweet..." post.

    Mockingbird is the state of Tennessee's official bird. Manchester (site of Bonnaroo) is in Coffee County, TN.

    And that's just the evidence from this board. There's plenty more if you look around the intraweb.

    Why again do we need multiple threads about alpine valley? Its not like its the Gorge, or Red Rocks or Fenway for that matter just wondering.

    As amazing as Red Rocks is, Alpine is a GREAT FUCKING PLACE to see a show(and party hard in the lots before/after)
    But a show anywhere would be nice, as long as it didn't involve me sitting through YLB, RITFW, or Baba...
    I don't want any more shows until they work out some new closers!

    I've only seen this thread and mine of course talking about Alpine recently. Is that really alot? If you haven't seen a show at Alpine Valley then you wouldn't undertsand. Any show anywhere would be nice.

    I'd like to compare Alpine '03 to any other show PJ has ever played as one of their best. It was a magical night - great setlist, beautiful weather, amazing vibe and absolutely INCREDIBLE audience. You can't talk smalk about a place you've never been to. It was a wonderful experience. Plus, Eddie promised us a show in 2004 and we're still waiting on that...:)
