    And after just hearing Present Tense from Melb#3 on the last tour - you can add that one to the list too!!!!!!!!!!! Wow. Didnt open the show but i think it would be a ripper opener.

    the 2 i really want are sometimes and oceans.....

    out of that list ive seen pretty much all of those as openers with the exception of those 2


    Both Porch and Alive are kick ass openers as well ..... add Betterman and Small Town as well because it really gets the casual fans into the show and singing from the start
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    I'd love for them to open their set at Roo with Release, then Interstellar Overdrive>Corduroy.

    I'm thinking a surprise opener sometime this tour. Maybe they re-worked "Deep" into the mix?

    I still have yet to see Release. I think the 2003 Champaign show where they opened with Evolution was awesome. Breakerfall would be pretty cool too.

    As unlikely as it is, I think opening a show with LUKIN would get the crowd going absolutely nuts.

    Certain songs they ONLY play as openers. I for one, would LOVE to hear Long Road to open Bonnaroo. Probably my favorite opener. I think they've only played it once as a non-opener, when EV dedicated it to his high school teacher in San Deigo...I think 2003 but not sure. But I don't like it when they play songs like WWS etc as openers when they sometimes play them as non-openers. I want an exclusive opener.

    Bonnaroo is more likely to open with a rocker!
    they tend to do that at festivals!

    that would be sweet. I really dunno what to expect at Roo. I hope it's not gonna be like Lolla 07 and a greatest hits show or I'll be really disappointed. I hope it's more Jam like, but I'd be surprised if they open with Release. I feel like Long Road is appropriate for PJ since fans are coming from all over the country to see them. But we'll see.

    I could live w/o Oceans my entire life, but I gotta Hear Release one time this tour or I'm gonna cry!!

    i bet they'll play deep at MSG or make it the new leash of this tour and play it at every show once they unleash it (no pun intended)

    i listened to that whole show yesterday. was surprised by that opener. deep was in that set too....at the end it became a cover-fest though 6 of the last 9 were covers!

    Present Tense, Hard To Imagine, or Release would be great at the DC show. MFC openers are nice, but I'd prefer it later in the set with an untitled intro.

    Why Go is pretty much the best opener I have ever heard by any band.....it got me sooo fucken pumped up at Lolla......and then baaammmmm corduroy.

    I don't care if Lolla was a greatest hit set list....after not seeing PJ live in more than a year it really got me fired up.

    On that note I can't wait for this tour...its going to kick ass!!!

    I think Do the Evolution would be the most kick ass opener ever. I also think that opening a show with no way would be pretty crazy.

    Seeing that it might rain at Bonnoroo I think that WASH would be the perfect opening song.
