    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.

    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    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.
