    Cripes! How bad was this guy?

    Apparently Ed's a big fan of Shudder to Think. I'm hoping they don't reunite and tour with PJ. I saw them open for Pavement once. They were probably the worst opening band I've ever seen -- no energy, seemed like everyone on stage was playing a different song, lots of dead air between songs...

    Cheap trick in Detroit 98.
    Just, not enough.
    I need more.
    Nothing seems to satisfy.
    I said, I dont want it.
    I just need it.
    To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.

    I could have sworn I saw somewhere that Lifehouse opened for Pearl Jam. Please tell me this is a false rumor!

    The best opener ever if you really consider it an "opener"...Robert Plant - 2005 house of Blues Chicago benefit for hurricane Katrina

    Impossible to top that one in this lifetime!
    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me
