Wow this is great, I'll check this out for sure.  Wish our guys would do something similar.

Are they going to have special guests like a Pearl Jamaroo or is it going to be like Phish event?

It's when I hear news like this that I really wished I lived closer.

From the few hints that have been dropped I get the idea that there are other bands involved. One rumor I read said Tom Petty and Neil Young.

Also the location is supposedly "in the middle of the country", according to PJ's manager.

I'd guess the side projects would be involved as well.

I don't have any inside info on this, but I have a funny feeling about Alpine Valley.

Any ideas which ones? I'd love to see Wellwater Conspiracy on the off chance they still exist

[ALady]

Ed solo set, Brad maybe, just because of how recently they've been active...maybe one of McCready's too, Flight to Mars maybe?  Eh, it's probably equally likely none of the side projects will play...I'd wager even they don't know yet.

Totally curious to see what they do with this thing.

cant wait for this! yea, all the talk around the campfire is about alpine valley.

Alpine Valley would AWESOME !!!!   I love that place.  I'd much rather go there than Tinley Park if I had a choice.  I REALLY miss Poplar Creek which is where the sears center center sits now.  It was only about 10 minutes from my house. We need another outdoor venue in the burbs.

Where is Alpine Valley?

Where is Alpine Valley?

Wisconsin, not too far up from Chicago.  Been there several times, if you're in the lawn you might as well be sitting back in Chicago.  It's a great spot, as long as you're in the pavilion.

[ALady]

They just approved onsite camping, which doesn't necessarily mean anything...but it would be nice.

Shaw said the camps would be for fans who wanted to see multiple performances of an entertainer doing weekend shows.

[walterfredo]

for shows at alpine valley, I would strongly encourage you to look into vacation rentals on one of the smaller lakes nearby.  There are only a couple hotels within a reasonable drive, but a ton of awesome houses available on vrbo or similar sites (for cheap).  We rented this house for phish in 09, it was literally one exit down the road from the venue, about a 10 minute drive tops, and with a few friends, was cheaper than a hotel.  And it came with a pontoon party boat that we may or may not have been allowed to use.  ;)



I don't know much about PJ, but Alpine makes a good venue for huge shows like that.  Although...when I think 'destination' concert, I'm not exactly thinking Wisconsin.  Hawaii?

[ALady]

Kelly Curtis said it would be "somewhere in the middle of the country" - that's the only reason I'm thinking Alpine.

Otherwise yeah, I'd go back to Hawaii   ;D

Branson, MO!

[ALady]

I just busted out laughing...actual LOL at the desk here   ;D ;D ;D

[CTdeadhead]

How about Vermont?  Highgate VT was an awesome Dead venue back in the 90s.  But I think both there and Alpine are too far North to be "middle" of the country...idk.

I was just about to say WWC. They haven't made an album since like 2003 right?
I'd definitely wanna see them.

I am so excited at the prospect...I hope they announce location/dates sometime soon.  My step daughter's wedding is in July and I need to know soon if she is going to have to change her date.  ;)

If a side project band will be playing - my vote is for Brad.
