Careful what you wish for!!! I saw Iggy Pop & Mudhoney open for them in 1998. What a great show. Also don't forget, Bruce will be in the Philly area in late October.
Bruce doesn't open up for people, its the other way around. Only way bruce opens for pj is if him and ed do a small hour long set of pj/ed songs, bruce songs and dylan songs.
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight

Ed used to open for PJ all the time, or at least used to open for the openers. We called them pre-sets, and they were super. He doesn't seem to be doing them anymore. Sad.
Something tells me that I'll be alone on this, but I actually ENJOY opening bands, as I am a fan of music that isn't Pearl Jam related. When I buy a ticket to see a headlining band, I consider any music that comes before it to be a nice bonus. Hell, sometimes the opening act becomes one of my favorite bands. I remember catching an up and coming Alice in Chains opening for Van Halen. Really glad didn't stay in the parking lot for that one!
I understand that some people aren't interested in anything other than the headlining act. Good for them, and they are free to hang out and pre-game during the opening act's set. I've noticed a good number of PJ fans coming in early to hear an Eddie pre-set, and then bitch and moan that they have to endure somebody else's well played tunes before PJ gets going. Frankly, I find that to be narrow minded fan-boy behavior, but to each their own.
In an effort to alienate myself a little further , I'd like to add the following: Ed's solo material doesn't do much for me, so PLEASE don't have Ed open the shows in Philly. I prefer to hear Eddie at his best, which happens to be when he is joined by the other 4/5's of Pearl Jam. THAT is when the magic happens.
See ya' all at Philly 1 (a.k.a my "TEN"th PJ show)
When they played the Vic in Chicago in 2007 Ed opened. I think he said something like "So..uhhh...I'm the opening act. I came cheap." I think he played about 8 or 9 songs. That was very cool, but regarding opening bands, I think its kind of like when you are in the car on your way to a PJ show and you are listening to PJ.... for some reason listening to a different artist is more fun. Just like having an opening band is more fun. Not sure why.

Fair point, it is a massive bonus to get a great opener or a real suprise, hadn't really heard Kings Of Leon before Melb 06, hoping Ben Harper comes down under this time..
