Good bands playing with SHI*TTY headlining bands

String Cheese Incident.
 
 
 Some girl from college wanted me to go to that show with her.
 
 As much as having a chance with said girl would've been nice, I couldn't put myself through that torture.

[gaaaaaaaaah]

Shit.
 
 The Flaming Lips opened for them?
 
 What the hell was wrong with the world for that to happen.

[azaghal1981]

They opened for a lot of jambands that year.
 
 
 moe. and the Disco Biscuits were two others off the top of my head.

[gaaaaaaaaah]

I dont see the Lips as a "jamband" type of act.  I guess the audiences are somewhat similar, but still.  Weird

[azaghal1981]

Both they and ween have been pandering to the jammy crowd and have been regulars on the jamband festival circuit for a while now. A paycheck is a paycheck, I guess.

Black Lips opening for The Raconteurs !

yeah, i went to the norfolk one, not the fairfax one... and then i went to the one where they opened for moe as well in charleston a couple days later (it was "on the way" down to atlanta for radiohead).. overall it was a good experience, but mainly because i didn't stay for the headliners.   they didn't actually tour with those bands, just played some random shows.

Not that the headliner was crap, but I bought tickets to see BNL at Merriweather solely because The Beautiful South were the support band. I had no interest in seeing BNL but we decided to stay anyway and enjoyed them.

Lightspeed Champion is way better than Adam Green for sure.

Fleet Foxes opening for Blitzen Trapper (not exactly shitty but had me bored quickly).

[Frank Gallagher]

One could argue the Dropkick Murphy's opening for the Bosstones at Merriweather soon.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I assumed the Bosstones were the openers?
