Getting a 30,000+ crowd is probably a tall order now a days, but I hope the Saturday show after a few years skipping Alpine gets a great turnout! I saw him here as a fifth grader (lol) in 2003, and I think he drew over 35,000. It was absolutely wild. Tom, With no Chicago show this year and the pres...

A few observations about the 2018 summer concert tour..... As of this morning, no shows have been announced for Cincinnati, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, St. Louis or Kansas City. These have always been mainstay locations (particularly Cincinnati) in the past for Jimmy. He's playing Pittsburgh...

"Missed it by that much." My wife and I were in the front row for the 200pm matinee on Saturday. I guess we should have gotten tickets one performance later! For anyone considering seeing the show, do it. We enjoyed it greatly and it was fun to pick out the lyric changes to familiar songs ...

Can we trade G-Spot and the Orgasms for Huey Lewis and the News?

Jimmy seems to have tried to break-up the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago and Alpine shows the last couple of years as I suspect they tended to compete with each other to a certain extent. Particularly Indy, Chicago and Alpine. With him not having played Indy last year, I think that his people fig...

Well, my wish came true last night when Huey showed up on stage to play harmonica on "Fins" with Jimmy! Yeah, that made my day (night). Thanks guys!

I am looking forward to seeing Huey Lewis and the News open for Jimmy at Alpine Valley on August 22. I have seen Huey numerous times and he is a great harmonica player. I really miss Fingers so I wonder if it would be too much to hope that Huey would come out and help out the Reefers on the harmonic...

Am I the only one who takes issue with the lyrics to Volcano listed on margartaville.com? My girl quickly say to me, "Mon you better watch your feet." Lava come down soft and hot. "You better lava me now or lava me not. Shouldn't that be love-a me now or love-a me not? No time to cou...

If you have $8,437,500 that you would like to invest in nearly 200 acres in southeastern Wisconsin which includes a long established outdoor music venue, then here is the deal for you: http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/18852082/Wisconsin-120-East-Troy-WI/ Alpine Valley Music Theater is available for pu...

It is the morning of the concert at Tinley Park and I was poking around Live Nation to see what were left for tickets in the pavilion. The seats still held by the venue in the pavilion (not resale seats) must number 800 or more. Only a few years ago Jimmy could sell out two shows in Chicago with rel...

My wife, sister-in-law and I drove to the Midway Drive-In which is located...ta da....midway between Sterling and Dixon, IL. We got into a really bad storm about 730pm on I-88 and were a little worried that the show might be washed out at the Midway. Fortunately, the place was high and mostly dry. T...

The Marcus isn't big enough for a Buffett show anymore. False. Did you check TM the day before the Alpine show last year and see all the available pavilion seats? I would say close to 1,000, maybe more. Not to mention all the lawn that went unsold. Alpine has been trending that way for the last few...

Jimmy will be playing Alpine Valley in late August, don't have the exact date yet. With no DMB at Alpine this year, I'm going to be bummed if Jimmy doesn't make it there either. There's been rumors for years of Alpine closing down. It's not a secret shows at Alpine each summer have dwindled signifi...

Confirmed? or just speculation?

Announced at an Illinois-based Parrothead club this week. I would say the information is good.

Candyman, Thanks for sharing the great photos. Jimmy did a great show last night and Jackson Browne was excellent. I enjoy the shots of the theater filled-up with anxious and happy fans. Alpine Valley is such a great venue, carved into the side of a natural valley in the rolling moraine landscape of...

NBC Channel 5 in Chicago is going to carry the story on the 1000pm (CDT) news tonight (Tuesday).

I, too, am glad that both of you had a great time. That is what the Buffett experience is all about. Anticipation of an event sometimes approaches the actual enjoyment of the same event. I was going to opt-out when the venue was announced but relented and went anyway. That was my own fault. My wife ...
