Personally, I think 'Something To Believe In' as a show opener would be immense. Hear me out. If it was a show for die-hards...it would work. It would be an epic opening with the slow drum introduction, and it would just build and build until the final 'hey, hey, hey hey' where the keyboard would cut out, and Tico would smash his crashes and Richie would go for the 'C' and they can move straight into 'You Give Love A Bad Name'. I really think you could play anything to a point as long as you follow it up with 'Bad Name'.
Always thought on the Bounce tour 'The Distance' would have been a good opener..a bit random but fresh! 'Hook me up' worked the few times they did it. And that was the tour they toyed with having Prayer midset...which was a BIG mistake!

Opening with Hey God would be awesome i think, plus the added fact that it would probably give all the diehards down the front a heart attack.

And I like ending the set on a slow atmospheric number, 'Letting you go' for example would work, in the same way This aint a love song ended alot of the TD shows.. just for that melancholic feeling!
