Default What song has the best introduction?

What song do you think has the best introduction in a live setting? I mean in terms of when the first notes hit in the song, rather than some elaborate introduction to a song (e.g., Jon's time-machine intro to Runaway).

Weirdly, a lot of Bon Jovi's best (live) songs have kind of quiet, slow-building introductions (e.g., Keep the Faith, Dry County, Wanted, These Days).

For me, the best introductions in a live setting are the ones that hit hard right off the bat and get your heart racing. For example, the intro to Born to Run by Bruce is a perfect example.

For me, I'd say Always. When that drumbeat hits, it is very special. Special mentions to I Believe and It's My Life.

I'm curious to know what you guys think? YouTube videos are welcome!
