Hootie opening for DMB?
 

Do you think this could happen? I know Hootie doesn't fit the typical opener role for a DMB tour, but I would love this. Hopefully Boyd can talk them into touring together for some dates.

Would like it but probably won't happen. The Iguanas didnt quite cut it for me last year.

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

Oh god no, they were terrible. To me, it's always hit or miss, heavily leaning to the 'miss' side, with the openers. I think I've seen...about 4 out of 24 shows that I've actually enjoyed.

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

The Roots were good, tho.

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

i would like to see the flecktones open this summer.

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

I've seen them, just not as openers for DMB.

The only openers I've really enjoyed are Bela, Ben Harper, Josh Kelley and the D. Frankenreiter Band (they were fun!)

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

I've seen Jason Mraz (wasn't thrilled, probably just the bad sound of the United Center) and Robert Randolph and the Family Band (they were AMAZING)

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

When will we know who is the opener?

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

Mraz and RRFB are the best 2 openers I've seen hands down. Thankfully, I spent extra time in the lot and missed the Iguanas.

Oh wait, I forgot about Macy Gray :lol

"Macy Gray will not be performing tonight. There will be no refunds" - Sign outside Soldier Field, July 6, 2001.

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

That would be sweet because you know bela fleck would have to get in on a few of the DMB songs.

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

I can't stand Hootie.

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

dickie betts was great.

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

That was great. We got Buddy Guy. :thumbsup

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

I'd love Bela Fleck or Robert Randolph

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

I liked the Mule and Josh Kelly

Only wanna be with you->Everyday

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

My wife and I were out the other day and I swear I said to her I would love to see Hootie open for the boys. I have never seen Hootie, but I would love to. And what better way to see them than as an opeing act for DMB!!!

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

The Iguanas opened at The Gorge in '01...they were poo.

Didn't mind Josh Kelley during last year's Gorge run.

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

I honestly got down on my knees and thanked God for that one.

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

Modest Mouse would be an awesome opener!!

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

Mraz, RR& the FB, D. F. band, and vertical horizon were badass openers

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

That's because Dickie Betts is great. :)

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

The Roots, Ben Harper, or Hootie and the blowfish would be cool. I'd like to see all three sometime this tour, Ben Harper especially... :)

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

I would like to just see anyone open for the band again!

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

When was the last time they consistently had openers on a tour. Prior to this year I went to a show in ‘15 and don’t remember one. I do remember Brandi Carlyle in ‘12. I enjoy openers. Builds anticipation for the band and is usually pretty enjoyable

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

Last tour with openers was 2013, once we hit #DMB2Sets they lost openers and never looked back.

Re: Hootie opening for DMB?
 

I was there, that was awesome!
