As far as PJ opening acts go, Ben Harper in 2010 was boring as hell.
Was that different that the Relentless 7 act from 2009? That was some of my favorite, but I know he's changed his style more often than my wife changes her hair color.
Having an opening act sucks. Even if they are good, they aren’t who I came to see.
In theory I agree. But when an "even with" show has a starting time listed of 7:30, there are reminders that the show starts at :7:30. So to be safe and account for any traffic possibilities I arrive at 6:45 - 7:00 and yet they take the stage at 8:15. There's a good 45 minutes to an hour of an opener I could have enjoyed while waiting.
Now that all the 2018 posters have been released, flipping is now in full swing in Lost Dogs and seems to be supported by quite a few here. If you are going to flip, dont give us the bullshit reason why you have to sell the poster/s. Like clearing out my flat file of posters that I will never hang when the list consists mostly of 2018 APs.

This^^^ I personally think it's all bollocks. Don t make a lame ass excuse that you want 500 x what you paid 2 weeks ago. Just the truth!

I think some of the 'Announcements' need to be cleaned off the front page. If you haven't pre-ordered Live at the Orpheum by now, you probably aren't going to. Or can't.
Ticketmaster is misunderstood and really puts its customers over profit.
If your band is down to one original member, time to retire your bands name. I'm looking at you, Don Henley & Donald Fagen! And especially Yes.
I would love to hear an explanation on this.
Nothing wrong charging what the market will bear. Growl.
As they run their own secondary market? Puh-lease.
I think I was referring to platinum and VIP pricing, which bands do have a say in. Why I said that here, I have a no idea why.

Maybe this is unpopular...
...I'd be fine if they started exactly at the time the ticket says. I guess it's just not part of concert culture (like it is for sporting even culture) to do that. It's like extra waiting/anticipation is very valuable to the show (well, more likely so they can sell more merch and beer). This isn't a PJ problem, but a concert problem. I wish that the whole thing had evolved in a way that people just got to the shows on time and they started on time, just like a game.
Popular? Unpopular? I don't care for opening acts. I have seen a couple of gems but generally "an evening with" is a preference. Though I will give you that given the "let's start late" culture, you can usually count on an opener to start on time.

I have no issue with a band starting 30 to 45 minutes later than the stated time, to allow for traffic and security. 90 minutes at Fenway was absurd, to add insult to injury then they played a shorter set than other 2018 shows.
PJ is also the only band I have seen to tweet that their set will begin at 7.30 then they hit the stage an hour later. That's not cool.

Yeah, when the ticket says 7:30 and there is no opening band, it would be rare to start at 7:30. Lucky to start by 8:00pm. I think when I saw Soundgarden one time they actually came out at the time on the ticket.

Yes, but what was annoying were the announcement to arrive on time as they will start at 7:30, but then they go on 8:15. I think people sort of expected a later start, but don't announce one time, then not follow through.
Beards are the best thing to ever happen to faces. You look ridiculous without one.
Ugh I have to be clean shaven at work. I fucking hate shaving.
Thank god I don't have to deal with that anymore. Can't tell you the last time I was "clean shaven". Shaving always irritated the shit out of my skin no matter what I did.
GA blows PJ shows have turned into minor league baseball theatrics. T-shirt cannons coming soon PJ is not our Zeppelin or The Who. Closer to next generation Aerosmith PJ doesn’t release more music because they creatively are dry. Two albums in ten years guys.

I can easily go weeks without listening to a single Pearl Jam song.
I do this sometimes too. Often what I do is have a band that I binge on, where like 80 percent of my music listening for a month or two is anything and everything from a specific band and then I take a few months off from listening to them or just listening to an occasional song here and there
Like for example, in September I listened to every Zeppelin album multiple times, tons of bootlegs, all their videos, etc. But haven't put on a single Zep album on since then

YEAH YEAH YEAH, if you want to ruin one of their best bridges of all time and turned into a folk song.
Listen to Padua 2018. Those fans have it figured out, they captured the essence of the tune, unlike some other towns.

Who was Chili Peppers second opener 27 years ago that impressed all the FM radio honchos in attendance city after city to get their tunes on the air?
