Prayer opening the o2 show was a great way to do it... Having it as an opener or even one to close the show is all good!

...and especially with that Video of Jon walking towards the Stage - that's what I call 'CLASS!'

I'm not sure, but I think so.

Best: I believe, One wild night, Prayer

Worst: Wanted dead or alive (Opener at a show in the 80's, the band admitted it was a mistake)

Lost highway (Not rocking enough)

I thought Last Man Standing was a very cool. I Believe, One Wild Night, LYHOM all worked well too.

Worst ~ Lost Highway

Agree completely.

By the way I love your signature picture. Priceless!

The Best openers have been

- Livin On A Prayer - O2 Version was incredible

- I Believe - Loved the fireworks they used

- London Calling - They played this at both the Wembley 2000 shows, was cool in my opinion but not the best.

- Lay your hands on Me - The Big Brass Band was a good over the top opener, i never saw it with my own eyes but also the entrance from under the stage seemed pretty cool.

The Worse

I wasnt that keen on LMS, as other people said it was too low didnt seem very energetic.

PS Why have they stopped using fireworks at the end of each show, that use to be excellent. Have they stopped because of health and safety or Cutbacks!

I wonder how Born To Be My Baby or Blood On Blood would do as an opener? Has that been done? How was it?
