Best opener ever??
What was the best performance you ever saw to open a PJ show?
Who would you LIKE to see open for PJ?
Or, are you like me, and wish we could just go straight to the main event

Idlewild wins though for my favorite.

I'd love to see the John Butler Trio open for them - a hippie/surfer/political activist/environmentalist who plays some kick ass funky blues - perfect!

You're right - that dude wasn't half bad. I liked his little ditty about working in Chicago.

I am right by your side.
of course not. The Black Keys were good though. outdoor venue, sun setting, blues rock opener. it worked.
would love to see JBT open for them. or else Cornell, or Lanegan, or Blind Melon or AIC now that theyre touring again...or else....etc

Idlewild, in 03, Supersuckers in 05, Sonic youth, Sleater Kenny and Kings of Leon on 06, best openers i do not know there was a bunch at the NorthWest Schools benifit, Presadents of USA, Ann and Nancy Wilson from Heart and a few others. Fav was Pearl Jam opened at the Gorge 05 does that count??? If not maybe Sonic Youth
Wolfmother and MMJ were both awesome ! Futureheads sucked !
I think KOL is the perfect opener for PJ...
2007: Copenhagen, Werchter
2009: Rotterdam, London

Believe me best possible opener I could have seen.
MMJ was okay
murder city devils weren't good
supergrass was okay
idlewild was so so
:
I saw pj open for this guy named tom petty it was kind neat.
they also had a guy named neil young and pete frampton join them on stage once when i saw them.
Yeahm, furtureheads were awful! The Copenhagen crowd applauded when they announced their last song. It was that bad!
My favourite is Wolfmother. Those guys rocked in Barcelona and Eddie and Mike came out to jam with them! Eddie also said that Wolfmother was one of the best bands they had ever played with. That's a pretty huge compliment to an up and coming band!
Great night!
im gona start a "paddy casey is awesome thread". even if no-one responds itll get a few smiles!
i actually really like his first album (hate the second), but when he came out on stage i was thinking "ah here, u taking the piss?" at least he knew the score
Dismemberment Plan in Hamburg 2000 didn't impress me that much...
In Berlin last year, me and several hundreds? thousands? didn't get to hear The Black Keys because we hadn't make the entrance when they started...from there it sounded like a soundcheck with guitar and drum...
Munich and Dusseldorf this year:
First, I liked the Futureheads when they opened in Munich...but I got bored at the end...and they really annoyed me in Dusseldorf...it's great when all the band-members can sing...but they were (musically spoken) pumping, hitting, shouting in every song like they wanted to get rid of cramps...
Interpol, the second opener there was pretty cool (not really hot)...they should have played longer and no Futureheads before.
BUT last year I saw Placebo in Bielefeld, Germany and they had a great opener...also because they had such a different style, might be also a good contrast to PJ...I'm talking about She Wants Revenge...great band!
I saw Death Cab open for U2 a while back in Philly.. I didn't know anything about them but I remember really enjoying them.
I liked MMJ too, but Sleater-Kinney would have to be the best for me, at least for PJ openers

MIKE McfuckinCready you deserve way more credit
!EVEN FLOW PSYCHO MEMBER! ~~@#028@~~
30 SECONDS TO MARS - they were good. Really. The Austrian crowd loved them and so did we. Jared Leto singer even made the crowd to sing "the fuckin' Jeremy" with them. They are gonna be better I am sure but I still enjoyed their performance.
KINGS OF LEON - if you ask me they are not that good at all. Incubus and Satellite Party DID catch my attention but they were bunch of noisemakers. I know their records and did not attract me but I was hopeful live experience would help me get closer to thei music but sorry...I can't...The only song I enjoyed was the last one when Ed joined them on stage...to tell you the truth for me that was the only highlight of that show (it was like Ed felt he should have saved the show with his presence...actually he managed to:))
LINKIN PARK - I have been a fan of theirs since the very beginnings (One Step Closer) and finally I got to see them twice this year...both shows in Poland and Austria were pretty damn good however the crowd went totally crazy and they almost fucked up most of our time...:mad: My friend did not like Linkin Park before but since that...they respect them!!!!!!:)
INCUBUS - they were very cool however I missed the interaction and some dances / movements... but it was so interesting to see/hear PJ is EVEN SO MUCH BETTER than them!
THE USED - Oh my God, it had been painful and terrible to count the long seconds till it was finally (Thank God) over
FASTBACKS- They were OK - that's how I remember, not bad but not outstanding either.
but out of all the best was
WOLFMOTHER - 2 quite impressive shows in the Benelux last year...their debut record is pretty impressive but they sound even better live... the trio tried to put their best into those shows and they managed to win over the crowd!!!

ohh yes they are! started doing shows again in October with a new singer, and, i think they might even be recording new material. not 100% sure about that but either way theyre definitely back together
But this would be their best opener, though Sparta and B Harper are a close second tie in my humble opinion (imho).
peace, chicken grease, limas
