[avsfan]

[avsfan]

[maker75]

[avsfan]

is this a dream?

evening all
hey norm

[hoke2007]

I wish. That would be amazing.

[bonzo48280]

they never sell out night 2, why would they add night 3? maybe if this album is good, commercially that is, we will get 3 nights

[avsfan]

they might be able to sell out a fri sat wknd. sunday night shows are rough but they'd probly still get over 30,000 on a sunday night if they went 3 nights. but still wont happen

Three nights at alpine would be fabulous but the Sunday show is still my favorite. I get a better seat and it's not as crowded.:D

Sunday shows are usually better... more for the hardcore fans...

[MontaukNY]

source?

[lostsailor1]

Correct me if I’m wrong, not sure if it’s still the rule, but it use to be that Alpine only allowed shows on Saturdays and Sundays, never on weekdays per city ordinance. So three nights would be out of the question even if the band wanted too.

fair enough. i still don't think they have shows on weekdays though.

[Freddy35]

fair enough. i still don't think they have shows on weekdays though.

Wouldn't that mean they should rule out a Sunday show...if they don't want to bother locals on "work" nights.

I would think a Fri-Sun stint would be possible...just open up more WH requests for the 3 nights...why wouldn't a friday night show be strong?

[hackattack1733]

Not happening, just two shows.

[LuckyJerin]

That would be amazing...I love Alpine.

[Alpinevalley04']

Luckyjerin.....that tree is the sheit is that on the Alpine grounds????

[Shagadelic]

nada, nathan, nunca

Though if this was true, which it probably isn't, If they actually did play 3 nights, they would get a lot more fans to travel to alpine because of it being a 3 night stand

[avsfan]

there will be a lot more "casual" fans on tour this year, especially if there is a "radio hit" for all the smooth rock staions to explout

[hughesman62781]

good evening piners

[Sou1 So1di3r]

rumor = june 27, 28

birthday show fuckers!!

[avsfan]

[bonzo48280]

if u call a hotel they are asking if u want the dmb rate


excuse me what?

[rick8285]

excuse me what?
yeah, what?

[Sou1 So1di3r]

if u call a hotel they are asking if u want the dmb rate

twat?

[avsfan]

friend of mine on here reserved a room and asked her if she wanted the dmb rate, thats all i know. dont know if the hotel knows anything either, but if they get a bunch of calls im sure they put 2 and 2 together and figure it out, or maybe they have inside info dunno. take it for what its worth

[hughesman62781]

happy rest of the weekend piners

[FunkyTeaParty41]

if there was a 3 night stand, i'd shit myself

[DMBZeppelin]

They never sell out Night 2 because it's on a Sunday. A Friday night show would fair much better. Also three nights at Alpine would cause more people to travel for it. Many people who always say "one day I'll go to Alpine" would probably do so for a three nighter.

Just because Sunday doesn't sell out, doesn't mean it's not selling well. The entire pavillion sells out. Just not all of the lawn. Given that the place holds 40,000 it's still usually more packed then your average venue. If you ever go to Alpine on N2. The main difference is the top of the lawn doesn't fill up.

Gee, thanks for the specific information.

[Willzie9]

3 night stand would be unreal

[weeashley]

I for one am hoping for a June 27th and 28th tour date. I'm having my bachelorete party at the concert : )

[maker75]

good morning alpine 09

Good Morning 2 u 2

Also remember they seat almost 40,000. On Sunday if they are doing at least 30,000 that is real strong. Other venues are having problems selling 20,000-24,000 tickets.

[weeashley]

c'ville is def, both shows. msg is a 50/50 chance. i have to travel for work the day after msg. i'm just trying to figure out how to swing it time wise.

Wow, I'm so jealous! I would love to see the c'ville show. How many shows do you average in a year?

u doin vegas?

[WaltzingBack]

i definitely am gonna try my hardest to make it out to alpine this year. never been before and a phoenix to alpine roadtrip for dmb would be more than awesome. i hope i can pull this off.

[maker75]

Wow, I'm so jealous! I would love to see the c'ville show. How many shows do you average in a year?

i try to hit the spac and alpine every year, but that does not work usually. my wife hates dmb and now we have a kid, so money is tight. i try to hit atleast 2 shows a year. before i got married, i was prolly 20 shows a tour (i would usually hit everything within driving range plus alpine)

u doin vegas?

can't afford vegas. that would kill any hope of the summer tour.

[chach1369]

super 8 i believe and i didnt ask the rate
I stayed at the super 8 last year--It's over the border in Woolstock, IL, about a 45 minute drive to the venue. Rates last year were about 55 bucks per night for a room with two queen-sized beds. Not a bad place--this year with cheap gas, it may actually be worth it.

[haefs11]

June 28 and 29 would be great dates, 3 straight years being conned out of alpine would probably drive me to suicide

[cryfreedom4136]

2007:

Friday: Rage
Saturday: DMB
Sunday: DMB

I went to all 3, it was quite a weekend.

Jimmy Buffett ususally plays in the middle of the week if memory serves me correctly, I remember because we babysat for my cousin on a Wednesday the year he went


EDIT: Are there any rumors about dates yet? I weddings on 8/8 and 8/15 so I am praying it isn't either of those weekends

[42graystreet]

Alpine 2009. The reason I get up in the morning.

[shorteenbc]

I can't wait for official dates to be announced!!!

:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce

[shorteenbc]

Has anyone ever camped in the Whitewater loops at Kettle Moraine? Just trying to decide if I should give it a shot this year. The rangers were fierce in Pine Woods!!!

[haefs11]

especially after hearing that the dates might be june 28/29

[42graystreet]

You mean June 27/28. A Sunday/Monday stand would suck balls.

[davehead86]

Well I suppose that I should put in my .02c here.


I wouldnt believe any rumors yet, its still early. Not sure I believe the hotel thing either, I have never heard of a "DMB rate", they (hotels) usually mark up the weekend when they figure it out.



As always I am excited for Alpine weekend. Ill have my website up and running again, as always, with helpful information and new pics and info etc.

[haefs11]

You mean June 27/28. A Sunday/Monday stand would suck balls.

you are correct

[davehead86]

I made an official thread lets use that one to keep the information inline and collected.

[nsturcotte]

june 27 28th....has anyone heard more about these dates. I want to camp this year and make sure i reserve early. How far in advance do I need to? Help anyone...

Oh yeah... GOOD EVENING

[temptedcandyman]

Hello all. Long time Alpine listener here, first time attender (fingers crossed) this year. Gettin stoked for the occasion, time to take a step in my fanhood and see the boys in the sickest of all venues.

[hughesman62781]

what up alpine

[hughesman62781]

damn we're dead in here today:thumbsdow

[FunkyTeaParty41]

this isnt the oh-fish one

[bushboy47]

this isnt the oh-fish one

not the oh-fish one, but i think it'd be kinda nice to have an actual alpine info thread. no offense to the peeps in the official thread, but we all know it's basically a chat thread. if you're looking for answers to questions, this thread could probably be more useful. once again, no offense. i just know that i, as well as many others, have tried to post questions in the official thread in past years that just get buried within minutes by all the regular chatter.

[bonzo48280]

good morning Alpine...or should i say good night as i head to bed.

Just to let you know though, those chatters in the Official Alpine thread tend to be the most knowledgeable. We just won't answer stupid or redundant questions. :lol

see that's why it'd be nice to go into a thread that wasn't so bogged down with useless babble to get info. there wouldn't be redundant questions if a person could find an answer on there own. wait, who am i kidding, i'm giving the average person way too much credit here. :lol whatever, it's not that big of a deal.

It's fucking impossible to find any useful information in that one because of all the inane chatter

[kgs305]

Interesting same with me, except for college.

[hughesman62781]

good afternoon alpiners

[hughesman62781]

damn where is everyone good evening

I did...it was alright..ran in to a little trouble after the show for being too loud but the sites are really private in some spots and huge...we had a little group site with about 10 tents..it was nice, but i dont think were gonna go back
