    Some that I'm suer would be too good for an opening slot... (or expensive)

    Tenacious D
    Ben Folds
    Chris Cornell that was sent in a time machine like 3 years in the past
    Liam Finn (hey, I can dream... just wouldnt work in a stadium as well)

    I dont really know who else...

    Yes. I like them better with Jason, but they put on a great show regardless.

    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb

    Personally, I'd love to see any one of the number of wonderful tribute bands that peddle their shows on the board. I'm kidding of course, tribute bands suck. How about Sweetwater or Supersuckers.

    Great call on Doves. I saw them play an in store in Toronto at the HMV on Yonge street. There were maybe 25 people there, it was great. Saw them play with Elbow the next night.

    Elbow is a great band.....sad that thay haven't made it in the U.S. yet.

    The Doves could play some of their harder songs and really win-over the crowd, imho. They are doing some U.S. headline dates this week, so it could work that they do another tour in the summer as a support band.

    Are they still on hiatus or did they find a "new, new" singer?

    Blind Melon would be great if only Travis hadn't left the band :(

    the last update was posted by Rogers, "State of the Melon" announcing their last show with Travis for New year and looking for a new singer. :?

    I know these 2 are not "unusual" per se but I would love to see them open for PJ again:

    Sonic Youth (they have new album coming out on June)
    or a Sleater Kinney reunion to open for PJ :D

    I would be in heaven!!

    Actually, I think of it the other way around. I prefer Jason with the DBT. I think they do fine without him though.

    The DBT would be an excellent opener. I'm telling you, having Patterson and Ed trading verses on Let There Be Rock (or Ronnie and Neil) would be great.

    Kathleen Edwards, Heartless Bastards, Jenny Lewis, or Grand Ole Party would be great 'newer' openers. For classics, go with Social Distortion, Los Lobos, or X.

    I know they opened for the Black Crowes a few years back...would be a high energy show for sure.
