    I dont care much for that Future Islands clip. I love w/o an opener but if they have to I really enjoyed Ben Harper. Ben Harper rocking (relentless 7) and not going all Jack Johnson easy listening is totally kickass.

    Seen them one or two or ten times too many, have you?

    PJ20...Missoula...Seattle '13
    That's enough for me!!! B-)

    Lame smiley guy and I feel your pain. I think they have opened for every PJ show in Vancouver. That's more than enough for me.

    Ben Harper would be awesome... although isn't he beyond being an opening act for anyone at this point?

    I wouldn't mind at all if Glen Hansard graduated from EV solo opener to PJ opener :)

    If there is an opener, I figure it should be an act that gets the crowd pumped up, as opposed to super mellow.

    In the Canadian 2015 dates... if there is an opening act... should be The Tragically Hip or Half Moon Run!

    If Pearl Jam and the Hip toured together... wow

    Sure, the Hip and PJ touring together would be awesome, but as double headliners. The Tragically Hip shouldn't be opening for anybody!

    I feel exactly the same way when I hear people suggest My Morning Jacket open for PJ...
    After the debacle that was the Americanarama tour,
    They should NEVER be an opening act again!!!

    When the tour was announced...
    they said it would be rotating headliners.
    Bob Dylan would headline on night, Wilco the next,
    and then My Morning Jacket next.
    This never happened.
    They also added another "opening" act for many shows...
    leaving even less time for the other groups.
    MMJ ended up getting about a half hour,
    Wilco got 45 minutes & Dylan played maybe 90 minutes.
    Ticket sales really dropped off when people found out about this and they ended up cancelling many of the shows!!

    I don't understand why anyone would care if there is an opener unless they are front of GA and not wanting to leave it, since an opener means extending their time on their feet and unable to go to the washroom (and I totally empathize with that position). If that's not the situation, though, why would you not want an opener? You can either check it out, or take your time getting to the show. PJ doesn't play for less time when they have an opener, so that couldn't be the reasoning behind it.
