We've probably talked about this before, but what's the strangest opener you've seen?  I've gotten Pendulum, Why Go, Oceans and Of The Girl and Wash multiple times, so not a lot of variation there.

For me, it has to the be their cover of the Byrds' "So You Want To Be A Rock And Roll Star" in New Orleans 2010.  Cool song, and they've only played it 7 times.

I bought that bootleg for that song

Oceans, Of the Girl.....Mind Your Manners in NYC.

I'd like them to start with a cracker from the get go. That's fun to me.

Present Tense, Thunder Bay 2005. Not sure if they’ve ever done that before or since, was a very cool treat.

pt's opened a handful of shows over the years, but yeah that was a nice surprise.

it's gotta be low light at wrigley, for me. it's only opened one other time, for that 08 new york theater show. that they played release after low light was even more strange.

edit: i guess there's arc in fargo. that opened a couple shows that tour and most likely will never happen again.

I stopped in at cheapo today and one of the workers had the Vs era "music for rhinos" shirt on.

It looks like Target Field has exhausted the mainstay stadium performers (eagles, buffet, McCartney, Billy Joel, every bro country group). I wonder if they'll try to get some new blood in there next season.

I'm not disagreeing with these artist being boring to me, but have they exhausted it? Wont they continue to book the draw, whatever that is? As opposed to whoever may "deserve" it or whom we want to play in our backyard.

90s music guilty pleasure confession: Hootie and the Blowfish's Cracked Rear View is one of my favorite albums from the decade.  There, I said it.

Not a lot of variation for me either.  Low Light at Wrigley, Last Exit when they "opened" for Petty, and DTE in Champaign 2003 would be the ones that aren't typical openers
