Pearl Jam Opening Acts

[Captain Jack]

Mars Volta is a lot more jazz and like spacey, I like it a lot.

My 10c membership had expired & I didn't get to partake in the pre-sale. Any word on when the regular stiffs get to buy tix?<P>Pretty cool choices for openers...Looks like I'll get to check out Sparta here in Pittsburgh.<P>I know PJ takes a lot of slagging on this board and elsewhere, but I'm looking forward to seeing them. While I don't think their overall recent output is stellar there are a few worthy tracks inlcuded on each of the recent releases. I also admire the bands integrity and willingness to continue on doing things their own way. <P>If you like them at all, check out their DVD from 2000 - Touring Band. <BR>

Geez...the Buzzcocks opening for PJ at Nissan?  If it was at MCI I'd be tempted to go see the Buzzcocks.  The last time they played at the 9:30 was absolutely stellar.  One of the very best concerts I've ever seen, and hardly anybody showed up.  They played for 1 hour and 45 minutes and just KILLED.  I wonder how they'll fare at a gig like that.

In a way, I'm glad Idlewild aren't opening for PJ here.  Then I'd have to get tickets.  I'm another one of the old-time hardcore fans, who just doesn't have it anymore.  They keep putting out albums and I keep buying them, but I think their last 3 albums I've listened to maybe a combined total of 12 times.

I am <B>definitely</B> glad that Idlewild aren't opening for them on this leg of the tour. I would've probably just skipped it entirely.<p>[This message has been edited by wingelbert humptyback (edited 01-31-2003).]

Rumor is that the MSG shows will feature an opening act with R&R Hall Of Fame credentials.<P>Any guesses?
