    Never saw Lings of Leon, Iggy Pop or the Ramones...that would rule...but still i'd rather more PJ.
    I've seen longer PJ sets with openers than the last Fenway shows. I don't think having an opener automatically means less PJ. Just extra music.

    Zero interest in watching an opening act waste precious time before curfew at Fenway. 
    Pearl Jam themselves wasted precious time both nights in 2018. Came out wayyyyyyyy too late

    On January 2, 1992 I went to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers play in Salem, Oregon at the Salem Armory.  They had a couple of openers....

    Anyone else find it odd that they would start the tour in Toronto, go east to Ottawa/QC, then back west to Hamilton (which is basically just outside of Toronto)?

    Haven't liked 1 band PJ has brought. 
    Ben Harper.  Randall's Island, '96.  Introduced me to an artist that I didn't know, and I've loved ever since.
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    why does anyone think openers take away from pj stage time?  it's all scheduled.  they're not gonna go up against curfew if they don't want to.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Lots of reserved dates at the venues in the region already.

    I do hope for another Fenway show. With it being reserve only, I would probably get decent seats with my number being 195xxx.

    i've loved mmj, band of horses, ramones and midlake as openers for pj...but i already knew about all of them before seeing them open.  i don't think i've ever discovered a band i liked from an opening slot for pj.

    best opener ever was..................The Ramones!!!

    I would have loved to be there for Tenacious D...I bet that was a hoot.

    The band has to be off the stage by a certain time. In 2016, the suggested curfew for Fenway was 10:30 with a fine if they played after 11, IIRC. In 2018, I believe it was a hard stop of 10:30.

    So why not have the ticket say 7:30 and not 6:30? If people get in late, too bad.

    The exception can be shows like Cincinnati 2014 when there was only one main entrance into the arena. The band was notified and the show started about 20 minutes or so after it was "supposed" to start.

    That was Ted Leo and Sleater-Kinney for me. Had heard of them, but hadn't listened to them. Became a fan of both.

    Absolutely agree. Still...they can't go onstage if another band is playing. Yes to going on earlier, no to opening acts.

    Supergrass were fantastic openers.

    Love MMJ, Supergrass, Band of Horses etc. But please no openers. 100% agree about starting on time. They cut lolla 2007 short because they were partying with Rodman.
