Say what you will about Pearl Jam, I'm not the fan I was 10 years ago, but you got to give them credit for trying to broaden the horizons of their knucklehead fans.  Their last tour they had Sonic Youth opening for them.

I think they also just did a benefit in Seattle where Steve Earle opened...

Dismemberment Plan was the opener for their European tour a couple of summers back.

I'll have to dig up my festival itinerary which I still have... but I'm almost sure its them.. I remember them saying it was only their 3rd gig or summat like that... that left me wondering why someone with only 3 gigs under their belt would get an almost headlining spot in of the clubs...<BR>
