I know there are a lot of grumpy ”EVENING WITH PJ!!!” people in here. But I always dig a nice opening band. 

You think there will be one at the home town shows? 

Guests are certain I reckon.

    Please not Mudhoney.
    Please not anyone.  I am not grumpy but would most enjoy the Evening With PJ.  :)

    No need for an opening band unless they want to use it as an excuse to start playing shorter shows.

    There will definitely be opening bands, it would not have been referred to as "Headlining" otherwise.

    We've been spoiled by the three hour shows of the Evening With era.

    I totally agree with this.  I don't think it's a question of "will there be" but "which" opening band/act.

    You don't need to have an opening band in order to be a "headlining concert event."  You just need a headliner.

    Right.

    The thing about openers at a PJ show... PJ shows are too long for them to have an opener. Jesus, the last time I saw PJ and they had an opener (Mudhoney. AGAIN.), we were all standing in that pit for over 6 fucking hours. That is way too long. I also noticed that people in the stands were simply getting worn out from it all. a 4.5 hour concert, including the break between bands, is just overload. People get tired before the show's over. Openers should be saved for when the main act is on for less than 2 hours. And of course we don't want PJ shortening their sets.

    When's the last time they had an opening band for a proper PJ show?  And why would they start now?  Unless the opener is playing at 6pm, I'm all set.

    When is the last time they had an opening band worth showing up early to see?

    Were all the other stadium shows the past years “An evening with Pearl Jam?”  Curious why these are not if are only Pearl Jam.  Guess we’ll find out soon enough.
