Well, I thought the whole presentation of it, with Jon opening up on the mixer was quite good, but that's just me.

I'd like to see I Believe live. LMS would be my idea opener.

I think the best song to open a concert is "Lay Your Hands On Me", as in Moscow 18 years ago eheheh.. ^^ But I also think that "One Wild Night" would be a great opener! Not only because it's a solid rock song, but even because of the meaning.. I imagine Jon saying to the crowd: "Are you ready to rock in this wild night??"... Eheheh.. ^^

I also think they mist a trick with 'Hook me up' with the opening line 'Hello, is there anybody out there?' I think they used that in a promo show but I think that would have worked well.

What do you think. Don't just think of the opening songs you have heard or seen. What would be your ideal opening song?

Let It Rock

I like LYHOM but '99 in the shade' for summer shows and 'Lost Highway' for the rest would do me nicely.

I think they'll open with LH for the majority of the upcoming tour.

Hmm, I donīt know really. One Wild Night or I Believe maybe. Raise Your Hands is a good suggestion too. I do know that I though Last Man Standing was way too slow, as well as way too low.

It would to be great to hear Let it rock as the show opener.That wicked synth at the beggining with the massive build up and all of a sudden BOOMB,pryo everwhere and the crowd going apeshit.Hinder at download came on to that it was brilliant

Get Ready would be awesome, I'd love that. I wouldn't want to see Saturday Night as the opener, it works really well in the encore.

I'd be happy with the already mentioned I Believe, LYHOM, & IML, but going with crashed's obscure choice, hows about 99 In The Shade, In & Out Of Love, or possibly Damned? If they built up to it with an extended intro, and kept a fast pace, Damned could really set them up for a great show.

If it was In & Out Of Love like from OWN yeah, I'd be up for that. That was probably ther best song on that album.
