I wonder if Ben Harper will also open the Chicago shows. Kinda weird they would announce the opener for the rest and still haven't announced for Chicago and Toronto.


Edit:

I emailed 10c and this was the response:

Sorry, we do not have a Chicago opener yet, but there will likely be one.

Best,

    Ben Harper and Relentless 7 are opening Seattle, LA, San Diego.

    Nothing has been said about Toronto, or Chicago.

    I understand that, but the Chicago shows are not included in this information.

    sucks that the only shows i'm able to get to wont be opened by r7. i saw them in a tiny place in nyc and they are great! the drummer is sick! listen to shimmer and shine and you'll hear what i'm sayin'.

    on the PJ Twitter page they are only "following" a few other musical acts... Ben Harper, Gomez... and NIN. i wonder if that means anything? I haven't looked into schedualing or anything, but it's sort of interesting.

    I also wonder why they are doing the select shows in Chicago and Toronto and such before the beginning of the main tour?

    They're following me, and I'm confirmed to be at both Chicago shows, maybe I'm opening! :P

    edit: At least they were, now they're not. Guess my gig got cancelled. :(

    As I said in one of the other 15 threads about this

    I suspect that the only reason Ben and R7 are not playing philly is that the 28th is Ben's 40th B-day

    Also suspect that since their schedule is open Ben will play Chicago and Toronto

    It is also widely suspected that Ben and R7 will play Australia and New Zealand

    i was looking for any confirmation/clarification as to whether the "all dates" included the previously announced shows for Chicago/Toronto or only the shows announced for the "North American Tour"

    i can find speculation anywhere, maybe in the other 15 threads even

    Grass is green because it absorbs all the other wavelengths of light except green, and reflects the green back to your eye.

    so why would grass absorb all light but green?

    and don't blue and yellow make green?

    so when grass dies why doesn't it turn blue? I have seen yellow grass :?
