I wouldn't describe them all as great, but the ones I've seen are:
Elevation Tour - JJ72
Vertigo Tour - Doves, Athlete, Idlewild, Ash
360 Tour - The Hours (twice), Elbow, Glasvegas, Interpol
JT Tour - Noel Gallagher (twice)
Nothing for IE or EI.

People have listed all the openers I've seen. I wish I had seen Lone Justice open for them on The Joshua Tree tour.  I forgot Pearl Jam opened for them. Whoa.
