Best East coast venues

Due to lame excuses...kids, work, etc. I haven't been to a show in several years. This summer, though, I vowed that I'm going to splurge on great seats and definitely catch the 2007 tour. The questions is, if you could do one east coast show, which venue would it be at?

...either Lakewood in Atlanta (Lakewood) or Alpine Valley. But AV may not be considered East Coast. Never been to GW before though.

Venue doesn't really matter as long as your up in front in the pavillion.

I don't think the temp that day had anything to do with you being fried :wink: :D
I was at Pitt., Camden, Mohegan, and NYC this year. Pittsburgh was the best all around venue this year, a very phriendly crowd who knows how to party, great weather, and awesome show.

This rumor has been floating around for years. Lakewood Flea Market may be getting torn down, but not Hi-Fi.

What's the point of tearing down the amphitheater? It's not that old, it's not run down, even though it is in about the worst section of town in Atlanta (and that is saying something). Atlanta does not have anywhere else nearby even remotely like this place. Chastain is just, well, different.

Walnut Creek in Raleigh was my favorite when I lived there. Huge lawn, awesome parking, close to major highway and not far from airport. But now Buffett doesn't play there because of something with Corona not being served or something.

Great Woods is good, Tampa is good, but both have smaller lawns.

Jones Beach is neat, but the no alcohol thing in the venue p*** me off. :evil:

Never heard of that before at a Buffett show! Any other venues like that?
