I'm sure there will be one, wouldn't want to stain the "Evening with..." tag. Though I think Soundgarden did quite a few dates without openers recently.
You probably have to pay opening acts.
They can pay them in dog collars and Wrigley posters.
Free half an hour consultancy sessions with Brendan O'Brien.*

Pearl Jam usually has great opening acts.

I feel like this is the minority view these days, but historically speaking I agree.

Bad Religion, Frank Black, Sonic Youth, Supergrass, The Buzzcocks, Sleater-Kinney, Death Cab for Cutie all just off the top of my head (and just referring to shows I've seen).

That was more like a collaborative tour than an opener.

I have seen six Ben Harper openers and enjoyed all of them. I remember Merriweather Post in 98 being particularly good. I really liked MMJ as well. I didn't care for Sonic Youth or S-K, to noisy for arena shows.

Neither of those bands do well in large venues, but they are two of the greatest shows I've ever seen in small venues.

I feel like I would be really pissed off if I was forced to see a Ben Harper set.

I'd rather see them ditch the opening acts as well. They've toured with a bunch of awesome bands in the past, but it'd be nice to see them do a tour just by themselves.
I might be able to get to an E-bow.

At the 09 Seattle shows where Eddie was sick the first night and sounded like shit, the Ben Harper set was more enjoyable than the PJ set.

If they added 5-6 more songs to each show (go from ~28 to ~34 avg), this would be OK by me.
