    how bout The Whigs. they're new one drops Tuesday and their schedule up to this point stops in May which i found odd since I would guess they would be touring for awhile behind a new record. I was kinda thinking they were trying to get a good opening slot after that point. This is one of my favorite bands after seeing them open for KOL a few times. Looked forward to them as much as Kings the last couple of times
    nothing as it seems.....

    The black keys and band of horses gave new albums coming out in may, either one of these bands would be an incredible opener for pj

    again, as with Jack Johnson, his new album drops june 1st, and has announced a tour but no dates/venues yet...the only issue, perhaps Jack is a bit too big of an act to play as an opener.

    I would love to see The Whigs open. They are flippin awesome. Just pre-ordered their new album and I am going to get tickets to their Chicago show shortly.

    it would be nice to see a comedian open for a change, like they did in the old days. i actually saw Franki Valli a couple years back and a comedian opened for him...i felt it was a really great way to enjoy a concert

    From Tegan and Sara web site

    Big news thursday!
    Got word today that THURSDAY we are announcing a BIG summer tour supporting one of our fave bands. No, it is not the announcement of the two Lillith Fair dates we are doing, although info on those is also coming soon. It’s something else. We are just that busy! Check back on Thursday!

    That Conan thing is interesting, but has he ever really done stand-up? I don't count his monologue as stand-up because he would have to spend more than 10 minutes up there and won't have his band for banter. He and his team are creative enough to do something, though. That being said, the Tegan and Sara idea sounds more plausible. Gaslight Anthem, the Whigs... those would be excellent choices

    The Strokes would be cool. Not sure if they're ready/available to play live, but they are supposedly close to finishing their fourth album.

    Built to Spill and/or Tegan and Sara


    i would give my middle nut see Black Keys open up for Pearl Jam
    i'll trade you my tee shirt for a grilled cheese
  • Nittany1bnNittany1bn Posts: 214
    the Black Keys have a new CD coming out, so does the Hold Steady. either would be awesome. Ted leo has a new CD but i wasn't blown away by him the last time he opened. Tegan and Sara would be ok, i guess, but not Jack Johnson, we'd all be asleep from hearing the same damn song over and over for 45 minutes.

    I'll guess Band of Horses as well. Would be ace


    That Teegan and Sara thing a couple pages back could lead to some serious speculation as well

    Totally self serving but I would love to see Band of Horses, or The Black Keys open for Pearl Jam.

    Band of Horses have had a very sparatic tour schedule especially given their new album is coming out in May.

    Spoon would be interesting to see open as well.

    I selfishly have also wanted to see Pete Yorn or Our Lady of Peace open for Pearl Jam but that probably won't but it's a cool thought.

    Looks like Band of Horses is close to confirmed for Buffalo 8-)

    Ed mentioned him at the end of Lollapalooza 2007 in a way that seemed to indicate he liked him. They were both friends with Johnny Ramone.

    Band of Horses or The Black Keys would be incredible. That said , my heart of hearts wishes for Gogol Bordello. GB are one of very few, Pearl Jam is the other, who gives me the lung burn , muscle ache, voice shred, barely enough energy to crawl out of the venue experience in the here and now; an experience that used to characterize Who, Ramones, and Clash shows.

    Also pre-ordered. Have they announced a Chicago show yet. I was at their last one, but have not seen a new date on their tour. It would be even better to see them open for PJ.

    Edit.....Just checked out webpage, another show at Bottom Lounge in Chicago. Cool place, cool band.
