While winding down on Sunday after the show, we were waiting to get our picture taken on a big anchor at the end of Navy Pier. There was a couple in front of us that posed for several shots, the guy kept wanting more pictures taken (usually the guy poses for one shot and he's gone). After about six...

Re: Alpine setlist poor & CRB unpracticed

I hate to say this, but did anybody else feel the CRB @ Alpine was, well, lame? I know this will make some folk unhappy, but l felt Alpine 2008 was the worst JB & the CRB I have seen in 23 shows. JB was on, but band seemed off key and off time. If I didn't know they played Pittsburgh 2 days pri...

Chiming in late with my 2 cents. The staff did a great job. Tailgating went smoothly (if a little cozy), I appreciated the tons of restrooms, and getting in and out of the lot was a breeze. The few security & staff types I talked to were super friendly and obviously happy to have us. Now for th...

I guess I am an Alpine Valley girl because I was not really impressed with Toyota Park. Toyota park did a good job getting us in and out. We never had to wait in any lines or anything. My issue is with the seating. We were in section A3 and it was really hard to see over people in front of us. I am...

My recap... had a GREAT day yesterday!! Mrs D and daughter really enjoyed it too! I've never had such an easy drive to a show... pulled in a little before 2:00, and was in the 1st row of cars! Saw the BN caravan, with Cindy doing a shot, before I was even parked, and heard Lee2 (I think) yell "...

Currently we have no reserved seats :( I have been to the Pearl room twice. I finally got to speak with a manager who told me only the Boss has a reserved table. Unfortunately the boss was not in. I left a message for her to give me a call. I'll see what I can do. If anyone gets there early please s...

Ok, I am getting conflicting directions from 3 different sites. Toyota park says one thing, google different, and yahoo another. What is the best way to get there from the south coming up I-55? Toyota Park's site says to tak I-294 to 95th then north on Roberts Rd to 71st. The others don't have me o...

Any reserved seating being made available? Did we find out? I wanna be close. I don't believe they do reserved. You need to get there early to get good seats. That being said I wam going to try talking with the manager about setting aside seats. Unfortunately there is no official headcount yet. If ...
