Love the Gaslight Anthem and always thought they would be the perfect opener for PJ.

They tweeted this earlier this morning

Dear PearlJam... Take us on tour.

    I have seen these guys two times at Pops in St. Louis. Killer show. I know they cover State of Love and Trust. My buddy got kicked out 3 songs into the last show. I checked my phone before the encore, went to the parking lot to meet him and missed SOLAT. He got kicked out because of a case of mistaken identity too.

    After what they did all these years promoting SOLAT, really hope that GA would be taken to tour by PJ.
    Five, five...five against who?

    Gaslight Anthem is a terrific band for throwing out covers. Very fun festival shows for these folks.
    Is it too much to ask for a full-blown Temple of the Dog set? Probably.

    I'd love to see them follow Soundgarden's lead with The Mars Volta.
