    I'm seeing these guys in a few weeks and they are a solid fun rock band from Athens, GA. They've opened up for Kings Of Leon, Band Of Skulls, BRMC, and a few others.

    The Whigs :D

    and i've said this before in other threads, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club B-)

    Foals would be pretty awesome as well. Saw them a few weeks ago in philly and Yannis, the lead singer, kinda reminded me of a young Eddie. He was crowd surfing/stage diving, jumping off balconies, went into the crowd once and the fans were really into them, lot of "moshing"

    I dig opening acts. Loved when I saw band of horses and social distortion. My vote would be for Gaslight Anthem. They could close their set with the PH cover State of love and trust. They friggin crush that song. Props

    Not the Gaslight Anthem. They're fucking boring and just awful.

    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!!

    But bob Dylan going on before any act would be absurd. I thought it meant wilco and MMJ rotating.

    Bring Glen Hansard on the road with PJ - more people need to know how awesome he is. And maybe he and Ed could do some pre-show collaboration?

    Bring back the D!!!
    I think Tenacious D would really get people ready... have some fun and rock out with Jables and Rage Kage, then let the greatest of all bands bring the house down as only they can do.

    I was just introduced to The Black Angels a couple days ago...they're pretty good. They're kind of psychedelic/dark/grunge/joy division. But yeah no opening band ever please.
