Homebound train would be a cool opener i reckon. But i think they would be best opening with a well known hit to get the crowd going, HAND would have been a perfect opener for the HAND tour.

I dont think Rockin In The Freeworld is a good opener at all, even though i love it, i dont think many people would recognise it.

My personal favourite is Lay Your Hands On Me.

Lay Your Hands On Me is their best opener by a mile and should always open the show. Prayer is better as one of the encores when it's dark and everyone's warmed up.

I like LYHOM because of the organ-esque intro. You've stood there for ages waiting, and then you get the big cheers and whoops as the band come on stage and then it starts - then the bass drum - doof....doof...doof....

brilliant

Both I Believe and LYHOM were superb openers. And my favorite opening of all time was at the Moscow Peace Festival.

Marching band intro on ´96 tour wasn´t that bad either.
