Jon's most noticeable problems seem to shift from one song to the other from leg to leg.

Awful opener.

Kills the crowd stone dead.

Couldn't agree more -- he seems to think it's a beloved classic that gets your blood pumping, but it alienates the oldtimers and drops your expectations through the floor. They should go with something more engaging and invigorating, like Let It Rock or Raise Your Hands or One Wild Night.

Not only is THINFS an horrific opener (no energy or impact) how many of the crowd know it?
Not many.

I'd say 50% don't know it and the rest wish they didn't.

Something that gets the crowd going should be the opener, I think. Something like Raise Your Hands, Its My Life, Bad Name

Bad Name with JBJ walking through the crowd in Australia was one of the best openers I've seen the band do in a while. Really hoping they bring it back when they come to UK. Hoping it's one of the 2x nights at Dublin as they hopefully will change the opener for both nights...
