:lol Me too! Especially the natural ones. :rolleyes:

I'll be honest, though. I really hate my boobs. Just too damn big and heavy and cause me backaches and I can't wear any of those cute little halter tops. I know you guys are probably thinking I'm nuts (as does my boyfriend) but you top-heavy ladies out there know what I'm talking about. They're just a pain.
yes, natural is ALWAYS the way to go...unless it's got batteries :lol

I hate mine too, they're a pain, I think I grew a cup size or something because none of my bras fit anymore, I've been the same damn size for like 7 years, I don't know why it would change now. :BANG

[rapunzelchick]

Did you switch birth control pills? That's usually the culprit.

[bdb23]

:thumbsup to all the boobs-talk.

[Trystans Mom]

I'm staying at Bong. Stayed there last year too...good times.
Where at- Sunrise? You're in Grand Forks!? Do you want to carpool and/or do you know anyone in need of a ticket to both nights? I have a pair of reserved night 1 lawn night 2 and an excellent bong site.

my friend did one of those sex toy parties not to long ago, wow, was that enlightening to say the least ;)

Did you switch birth control pills? That's usually the culprit.haha well, no, but I did start the pill almost 2 years ago, that's a little late for it to take effect don't you think? :lol

[rapunzelchick]

Oh for fun! I have ALWAYS wanted to go to one of those! None of my friends have the balls to do it and I just don't have the space in my apartment to host it. I'd probably spend waaaay to much $...worse than a trip to Target! ;)

Yes. :)
yeah no kidding, my friend who put on the party had maybe a dozen people there and her sales were like $700...that's a LOT of horny girls!! that and everything is so freaking expensive! (but well worth it ;)) I'd love to have a party sometime, I think as a host you get 10% of the sales to put towards your own purchase, so she esentially got her order for free. and yes Target rocks...everyone I know registers there for their wedding (as am I:lol)

Yep, I'm in sunrise. Carpooling probably won't work being we already have a full car going...actually two cars. (6 people...plus our stuff) No need of tickets here though...we're all set, but if I run into anyone who does I'll let ya know.

Night 2? I thought you were going to take my extra WH lawn for N1...did you change your mind? :confused: No big deal if you did, I was just wondering. :)

[Play_Like_Fonz]

no, typo, my bad, night one.

[crashintosabine]

I believe that was me.... :confused:

Not to worry. I have a couple lawns to get rid of. We had enough lawn seats for our whole group of 7 for N1 and then little by little were trying to work on getting pavilion seats. So as of right now I have three lawn seats I need to get rid of for night 1. So there's enough for everybody! :)

[rapunzelchick]

A friend of a friend of mine might still need a ticket to N1. What's the best way to get in touch with you? (He's not on Ants.)

Either send me an email or a PM. I'll know for sure this weekend how many I have to get rid off. I have a trade that I'm supposed to make at the Chicago show, and I don't want to sell any more Alpine until I have the other tickets in my hand to replace them. So, I'll know what's going on for sure by the time I get home Sunday. :)

Does anyone want to trade 2 WH Lawns for 2 Non-Warehouse Lawns for Night 1? I want my friends to sit with me, there are 6 of us, 4 of us have warehouse lawns and 2 have TM lawns.

Is there a difference between the 2?

[dmb_41_sd]

Is there a difference between the 2?

I think they mean warehouse prefered lawn seats which are supposedly roped off in the good part of the lawn? This is the assumption anyways.

[liog_dmb]

That is the correct assumption! That way all 6 of us can sit together in the preferred section of the lawn.

[missycor]

No, the party's in the premier lot on Night 2. :D :monkey

I certainly hope so. :)

[PilotC150]

That is the correct assumption! That way all 6 of us can sit together in the preferred section of the lawn.
If you want to all sit together that badly you'll probably end up having to trade down, get rid of your prefered and have the 4 of you move into the general lawn.

[MelissaDMBfan]

If you have the warehouse prefered seating I would guess that you don't have to necessarily sit there. Its not likey are going to be checking everyones tickets in the lawn. Just sit wherever you want.

One of them is a cow, and one is a goat. Not sure what the hell they are supposed to mean though.

Actually, one says "goat" :goat and the other says "golden goat" :ggoat . We need someone to explain this b/c now I'm confused. :confused:

well damn that is interesting. I don't think I have never used the golden coat, or regular goat before. When I was about 6, a black one bit me at this petting zoo we went to. It scared the shit out of me, and hurt like hell. From that day on I have been terrified of goats.

[bdb23]

Santa's Village! I remember that place! Is it still around? (I moved out of Chicago 11 years ago.)
It's still around last time I was out that way. It's on Route 25 near Route 72. I golf over there some times and I think it's attached to the Racing Rapids waterslide place that's next door.

I had an awesome view last year. Believe it or not, it was row CCC (very last row) of section 203, I think seats in the 90's, maybe higher. The view from back there was awesome. Could completely see the stage, and could even see the big video screens that hang on the edge of the roof. It was really nice, actually. Nothing to complain about.

This year, though, I might be straining my neck, hopefully not. (seats listed below).

[CarterStreet]

I got KK Section 203. Hopefully that'll suffice.

[EatSleepJeep]

Let it be known:
I've been painting Jeep parts in my garage for the last 4 hours, and now I am loopy. I don't like it. My brain hurts.

Now I am sitting in front of my computer, playing the songs that pop up on the instant setlist, while looking at the aerial shot of Alpine, pretending I'm at a show. It's kinda working. For the new songs, I just play covers. Try it, you might like it. Remember, my head is twisted.

[DMBfan14567]

:thumbsup to a winter tour. They'll have to promote the new CD.

Right! I only had one new song on my setlist picks. I figured the boys would take a night or two before they really started to bring out the new stuff.

It always takes a few listens for me to really get into a song. But Joy Ride... :D :thumbsup I did really like that one. Hello Again makes me think of that Lionel Ritchie song. :lol I'm glad to hear more of the funkier, more up-beat DMB. I wasn't really looking forward to another batch of melllllllow DMB songs.

:thumbsup Going to last nights show got me even more excited for Alpine, because I know the whole overall experience is better. Not saying Tweeter sucked, but EVERYTHING about Alpine kicks ass!

I love it how people complain that we don't have new songs, but when 5 new songs were played last night its boring and repetitive. People, when was the last time DMB roadtested songs like this? I would guess that its been awhile since they have played this many new songs.

[DMBfan14567]

glad you had a good time!!! makes me look forward to my shows :thumbsup

[agracey77]

Last year only one guy came with me, but i took a video of the whole weekend(minus the actual show) showing how great it was and now everyone wants to go. If any of you saw me last year, i was running around th parking lot after night one with my camcorder.
So just out of curiosity were you the asshole who decided to strike up conversations with people and then just start insulting them with your stupid video camera recording it all? If it was.....man, you are just fuckin hilarious now arent you? Good to know you have to resort to crap like that to keep yourself entertained. And if it wasn't you, disregard this post.

Last time they roadtested new songs like this was in 2000 and I think that was one of their better tours. A lot of people are bitching about the setlists and I agree that the first two shows setlist wise have seemed a little stale, but the first shows are always more repetitive and have a lot of standard songs since they are just getting together again after a long break. I think by the time they hit Alpine they will be smoking.

[Play_Like_Fonz]

I read in other threads that the lawn sometimes isn't loud enough, how is Alpine's sound on the lawn? Is it clear? Thanks.

alpine's sound on the lawn is extremely clear, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Hello Alpine :) Back from Chicago and I just CAN NOT wait for Alpine now. I must say, it was a good show, we had amazing seats and have never sat by fans as cool as those before. If anybody know a Deena and Josh who sat in sec 103 row D, props to you, you've got some cool friends! :thumbsup

I think you will like our new sound system for the back of the lawn and the front of the lawn. Brand new speakers as of last year and a new delay system to keep things is sync. Only a few days away from our first show, Phish, this coming Friday.

I spent over 10 hours at the theatre yesterday getting it ready. Some highlights:

- A new frozen beverage stand with margaritas and hurricanes.
- New signage everywhere. Over 350 new signs to direct you to the closest restrooms, the nearest concessions, and new signs in the pavilion to show which sections are which.
- New parking lot signage to make it easier to find your car.
- New lawn railing systems to make it easier to hike up the lawn walkways
- Much, much more.

Any questions before the show, let me know.

Brian, Security Manager

Hey Brian. Thanks for all the updates you do for us.

Still working on the new seating chart with pictures? I'm sure that's a time consuming project and all but just wondering if it will be done this summer sometime or if it's getting pushed back due to all the other projects you guys have comming up.

[EatSleepJeep]

So just out of curiosity were you the asshole who decided to strike up conversations with people and then just start insulting them with your stupid video camera recording it all? If it was.....man, you are just fuckin hilarious now arent you? Good to know you have to resort to crap like that to keep yourself entertained. And if it wasn't you, disregard this post.
Do you realize how many people in the lots have camcorders? I had a camcorder, but was not starting arguments with people, I was doing it to capture the event for the attendees and for my friends at home to get an idea of all that is Alpine. Don't jump all over the guy just because he was one of the 3000 people there with cameras.

Right! Don't come into the Alpine thread just to stir up some shit. :violent

The alpine thread has turned bitter :BANG

Calm down people. Enjoy the new music and the anticipation for an excellent Alpine!!!!

as long as it's not the same show 2 nights in a row ;)

[Trystans Mom]

Yep, I'm in sunrise. Carpooling probably won't work being we already have a full car going...actually two cars. (6 people...plus our stuff) No need of tickets here though...we're all set, but if I run into anyone who does I'll let ya know.
Oh sure well carry on with your closed partay.

I just got home from the 2 Live Crew show. What a mess that was. Entertaining mess, though. I should have gone to a strip club... Geez.

That's awesome. You have to give us some details. :lol
I used to listen to 2 Live Crew in high school, circa 1989. :lol

[EatSleepJeep]

Apparently, 2 Live Crew is quite popular amongst the lesbian stripper population. Not only did they bring their own "Me So Horny Dancers," but there were many willing crowd participants eager to show their "talents." There were 3 flesh piles of grinding, scantily-clad females scattered around the stage. I had to leave before the encore, as I have an interview at 8:30 this morining. Good thing I have VIP status and don't have to pay for anything at this club, since the $10 admission and $4.25-$8.00 beverages would have prevented me from witnessing this display. Since it was free, I'm all about it.

[rapunzelchick]

Good morning all! Got back from Chicago last night around 8:00. Totally swamped at work but totally worth it. As if I wasn't already excited for Alpine, now that Chicago is over I'm just nutso!

It was so awesome to meet all you Ants at Portillo's! :hug Looking forward to the lot at Alpine!

Oy, I'm so tired. Even the dog got worn out this weekend (see attached). And on Friday I'm going down to Alpine for Phish....:freak
Brian, just for you....:monkey!

Glad to see you got home alright. Nice pic of Luke. I'm really psyched about Alpine now that I've got the dMb itch from Tweeter. It will be interesting to see what the setlist looks like for night 2 tonight b/c they're doing a lot of repeats so far. Hopefully, night 2's are dedicated to some old school jamming (one can dream, right??).

Sorry we didn't get to spend more time chatting at Portillo's. You're for sure going with the Premier Parking for Alpine on N1, right? Will Melissa (your wife) be there too? It was nice to get to meet her as well. She must think we're all crazy.

[rapunzelchick]

Okay. Just checked my updated stats. Been to 17 shows...heard Grey Street at 12 of them. I love the song but that seems a bit excessive to me.

I have to confirm with the others in my party (there's about 20 of us) that we are all going premier for N1. That decision should be made this week. No problem on the chatting. Alpine's lot is much easier to chat in than Portillo's. Melissa will be with me for the shows. She doesn't mind my constant obsession (and others') with dMb. She's cool with it.

I nearly shit myself when he said "it's great to be back at the world, y'all!" The other quote was awesome, too. As much as the venue isn't all that fan friendly (sound, sightlines, etc.) Dave sure like to talk up his love for it.

[DMBfan14567]

I've been blessed with 19 Grey Streets out of 29 shows...so I've had my fill as well. :freak But what really bothers me is that I've sat through 17 WTWE and 15 WAYG. (If there was a little sleepy smilie I would enter that here...yawn...)

[rapunzelchick]

I nearly shit myself when he said "it's great to be back at the world, y'all!"
I know, I totally looked around for you right after that....and then I remembered that nobody was sitting anywhere near me. :(

Crowd around us sucked. Couple making kissy-face through the whole show directly in front of us. Everyone else talking during the new songs. :BANG

No you don't......I go to approximately 2 a year (both at Alpine), sometimes 3 if there is a winter tour. IMHO, I see DMB plenty of times during the year.

[rapunzelchick]

Me too.

But don't you think it's time for the Site Ops to change it up a little? I'm getting kind of tired of these and there are so many other great ones out there!

The more the merrier!
I'm a show junkie, I'll admit. I just love live music and go to whatever show I can whenever I can and wherever I can. Next weekend it's Phish @ Alpine! Managed to see the Dead 17 times, all before I turned 20 (and then Jerry died :(). Concerts are really my hobby.

[DMBfan14567]

Me too.

that would be cool, change is always a good thing, there's a million cool icons out there, like more than 1 jumpy thing is a bit much, but whatever I don't run the site ;)



as for going to shows, I'm the same way, I worked for a radio station for most of my college career, it was awesome live shows, in studio interviews etc, now I try to make it as much as I can it just gets expensive and we're trying to save money because we're building a house this summer, having our wedding NEXT May, and a honeymoon to boot :lol not to mention school loans :mad:

[rapunzelchick]

WOW! You've got a lot on your plate! Good luck with all that :)!

It does get expensive. I justify it because it's really the only thing I spend a lot of money on. Don't go on shopping sprees, don't get manicures every week, don't even have Internet access at home. All my $ goes to music! (My mother nags me about this all the time but I tell her, "Hey, it's not like I'm spending all my money on drugs." That usually quiets her!

It's always nice when concerts don't sell well and they offer up reduced tickets, saw Santana last summer for $10 :lol

Hey Brian. Thanks for all the updates you do for us.

Still working on the new seating chart with pictures? I'm sure that's a time consuming project and all but just wondering if it will be done this summer sometime or if it's getting pushed back due to all the other projects you guys have comming up.Hi:

Actually, an engineer friend of mine was just out at the theatre this weekend doing a totally new survey of the pavilion and lawn areas. We have brand new disabled seating this year which required a new chart. Once we get his new map in about a week, we will take the pictures between Phish and Buffett and probably get it out there in mid-July. As the site webmaster for alpinevalleymusic.com as well, believe me, it will get done.

Regards,
Brian

[liog_dmb]

I'm not saying I don't enjoy going to concerts, because I do.....but I think there does get to be a point that it is a bit of overkill. I shouldn't talk because in a 1 year period, I saw DMB 5 times and D&T 1 time, but I've already told myself that the farthest I'd go for any concert is Chicago or maybe Minneapolis (because I have friend's in the area), or maybe the Gorge, if I can justify it at the time.

This summer, I've gone to see Rush and I'm seeing DMB at Alpine and OAR at Summerfest, and that's the fewest concerts I've been to in the past couple of years.

The deal is, there is other stuff I like doing with my entertainment budget....movies, sporting events, doing some drinking once in a while. That and the fact my girlfriend lives across the state in LaCrosse, I just need to keep my entertainment budget in check.....

I can picture that conversation with my mortgage company...."Um, I can't make this month's payment because I had to go see Dave Matthews Band at Deer Creek"

[jordonh]

anyone ever sit in the first couple rows of 101 and 103 ..hows the view??

[41crush88]

hey im brand new to this site. but have been a huge Dave fan for a couple of years now. unfortunately i wasn't able to 6/18 (tweeter) or 6/20+6/21 but i am DEFINITELY goin to either the 8/7 or 8/8. thing is i live in a small town called munster in Indiana that is about 25 miles from Chicago. if anyone out there can tell me how far alpine is away and maybe a good place to stay out there that would be very helpful. Thanks!

[watchtower02]

welcome to ants...it's 2 hours 21 minutes from munster to alpine...good luck finding some place to stay near alpine...your best bet is probably finding a place about 30 minutes away from alpine...

[41crush88]

ok thanks so much. Are you by any chance from munster? im just curious as to who all from my small lil town is acutally going to the concert. And if you are then i might see you on the way there!

[mihighdavehead]

Last night's set got me even more pumped for the two night Alpine stand :monkey

By that time more classics will have been brought off the shelf :cool:

[rapunzelchick]

Can you belive they got both DIDO and DDTW!!!!???? Both those in the same show at Alpine would be suh-weet!

[bdb23]

Don't forget BOWA.

[rapunzelchick]

I know. Damn! Can't wait to hear what Crumbo has to say about it!

[bdb23]

Except for the repeated new songs, night 2 looked awesome compared to the first 3 shows.

[rapunzelchick]

Yup. You know they're gonna repeat the new songs; they have to.

[bdb23]

I know. Perhaps they'll have a couple more new songs by Alpine and we'll get a nice no-repeat night 2. We can dream.

[missycor]

Geez, I hope they keep repeating the new songs. I'm only going to 1 show, and I'd like to hear them! :)

I was explaining to my husband (a non-fan) about all of the whining and complaining going on regarding the setlists and he was just flabbergasted. The bitching seems to be at a new level this year.

[bdb23]

Each year the bitching gets worse. It's particularly bad this year b/c of all the new songs. I guess we all got spoiled last year.

[rapunzelchick]

It's so ironic. The years that there's no new album everyone bitches about the lack of new material!

My philosophy is to just be grateful that DMB even exists and that I'm lucky enough to be in a position to go to their shows!

[mihighdavehead]

I don't mind the nightly new song repeats, because it makes for a better studio version in the end.
For example the 6/20 Thing(hmm) sounds different than the 6/18 version and has different lyrics.
I am having Tour 2000 flashbacks already when the lyrics, intros, and outros change nightly.

On 6/20 dave says something like "let's smoke this sweet spliff" which he didn't say in Chicago.

[bdb23]

True.

[crashintosabine]

I think that the current five new songs will stick around for a while, then maybe one or two will fade out and be replaced by two new-new songs. Every summer tour goes in phases, where songs will pop up for a stretch and then disappear. By the time Alpine rolls around, the tour will have taken on a completely different feel...different songs rotated in, some songs will have disappeared, new songs will probably have changed a bit by then...but that's just my $.02 :)

[mihighdavehead]

My philosophy is to just be grateful that DMB even exists and that I'm lucky enough to be in a position to go to their shows!

Not gonna happen. I hope to be on the verge of opening my own firm with a buddy of mine in September so it's going to be a bit tight. I was all set to do it then this law firm plan came about so we "settled" on Hershey. I'll get out there someday.

[rapunzelchick]

Brian & Jamon - do one of you guys have a version of Thing that you could email me (I don't have downloading capability). The version I have has this awful feedback that sounds like someone's torturing a kitten.

[bdb23]

I can do it. Email???

morning guys!!! my sumemr concert season just exploded thanks to Darien lake reducing all lawn seats to all shows (except DMB which is sold out) to $15 each! So I'm gonna hit up Sting and Tragically Hip...I just wish I'd be in town for Kid Rock and the Dead but DMB comes first :lol

That's so awesome! We don't even have a decent venue here in MN, let alone one that would do something cool like that! Enjoy!

[rapunzelchick]

Okay. I've decided that "Thing" (or whatever it'll end up being called) is officially my favorite new song

I think once the fans are familiar with it and the lyrics get finalized it will become a serious high-energy-sing-along ala Ants, Jimi, Crush.

That, and it will definitely become my "spark one up" song! :D

[ianseramur]

i like Thing a lot...the 6/20 version is pretty cool...the mellow solos and all that...sweet song. I'm sure by the time alpine rolls around, the song will be more put together, since they're playing it a lot, and will sound even better, as all the new songs will. Alpine's gonna be better than past years...just a feeling.

i like Thing a lot...the 6/20 version is pretty cool...the mellow solos and all that...sweet song. I'm sure by the time alpine rolls around, the song will be more put together, since they're playing it a lot, and will sound even better, as all the new songs will. Alpine's gonna be better than past years...just a feeling.
I like that feeling. :thumbsup

That, and it will definitely become my "spark one up" song! :D
:thumbsup
The best kind of song there is at a show :D

[DMBfan14567]

That's so awesome! We don't even have a decent venue here in MN, let alone one that would do something cool like that! Enjoy!
Thanks!! the shocking thing is it's Clear Channel, so who would have thought that they'd do it for EVERY show!? I guess tickets sold like crap for everything, and this Josh Groban guy (who the f is that?) was charging like $75/ticket...and so were most other groups (that I've actually heard of)

I'm going to 311, The Roots and Medeski, Martin & Wood at Red Rocks this Saturday :cool:

The closest we've got is the place out by Detroit Lakes that has WeFest and 10,000 Lakes Festival. I've never been there, but it must be able to handle quite a few people, as well as camping.

Okay. I've decided that "Thing" (or whatever it'll end up being called) is officially my favorite new song

I think once the fans are familiar with it and the lyrics get finalized it will become a serious high-energy-sing-along ala Ants, Jimi, Crush.

That, and it will definitely become my "spark one up" song! :D
I disagree. First of all the song has no structure at all except: some lyrics, solo, some more lyrics, solo....etc. No verse, chorus, bridge, anything.

This song has a LOOOOONNNGGG way to go before it's even close to being anything. Not to say it's a bad song, but I also don't think it will be a high energy sing along song, except for maybe the first line, like Say Goodbye, then people don't know the rest of the word, or Dave changes them, or something.

But personally, this song does nothing for me at all, at this stage in its deveopment I find it a bit boring and repetative.

You got to see it live my friend.
Also if you haven't heard 6/20 version do so.

Hey everybody, I have a few questions.

I think a friend and me are going to find two lawn tickets to the first show at Alpine on 8/7. A couple quick questions:

1) What is parking like at Alpine? Is a Premiere Parking pass worth the 20 bucks if you wanna jet out, or is it not too bad in the main lots?

2) I've heard so many good things about Alpine, especially about the lawn. If my friend and I get there when the doors open and get a spot at the front of the lawn, is it really kick-ass?

and last one, 3) I saw a diagram of Alpine Valley, and it looks like the entrance is behind the lawn. Am I insane, or is that how it works?

Thanks in advance, guys! I can't wait to experience DMB at the much-revered Alpine Valley.

1) Tailgating is a must. All the lots rock. (Premier and Yellow for sure) With premier you'll definitely get out quicker. The main lots take at least an hour to begin to move unless you're in the back.

2) The lawn is one of the best. Sound is great and they've got some pretty good screens for the show.

3) Yes, you enter from the lawn and go forward. Really cool visual your first time looking down the hill. Take it in slowly.

Welcome to the Alpine thread. :thumbsup

I respect your opinion. :hug You'll get it more when you see it at Alpine, I promise you. :)

Hey yankeesguy86, you posted in the "insane" Alpine thread! :lol See...we're not that bad!

Bad, no. Insane, probably not. But definitely a bit crazy!!! :rolleyes:

[yankeesguy86]

I meant amount of posts was insane, not the content of them, my bad. :-)

Thanks for the help, bdb23. Question though - how much earlier do the lots open as opposed to the gates? If i have lawn I wanna get a primo spot, but I'd like to tailgate too.
