That would be honestly pretty nice to hear but I think it would fit much better to the end of the concert when the night is dark...
Nope, I mean The Tico Song. Listen to Sympathy again and note the hidden track.

The Tico Song

His name is Tico
Quiere mas macho
His name is Tico
His name is Tico
He is my hero
(he's my amigo)
He is Cubano
His name Hec-Tico
His name Hec-Tico
(he plays the drum-o)
He is the Cubano
Magnificano
His name Hec-Tico
(he is my friend-o yeeeah)
Cubano

Oh yes, that one. I really like Richies vocals in that song, if only he sang I'll Be There For You with the same voice

Lay Your Hands on Me, Let it Rock, and Last Man Standing are all great opening songs imo.....

common openeners? Bounce only on bounce tour. I would be suprised if they ever opened with LMS again. Lay your hands on me has been ages ago since it's been a regular openen.
Rockin in the free world never been a common openener nor was OWN except that tour itself. I believe was great during the Faith tour but see Bounce & LMS...

The four openers I've seen are Prayer, Bounce, Last Man Standing and Rockin' In The Free World ... Prayer is good as an opener but a bit predictable I think, having been documented on two DVDs and a CD, Bounce I remember not liking so much as an opener, I much preferred it mid-set at Milton Keynes, LMS was cool despite being played too slow, and Rockin' was cool just for the fact I totally didn't expect it .... So overall ... no idea. I'd like to see them open with something totally unexpected though

Prayer(Wembley 95 style) One wild night, LYHOM and Raise your hands all work well. The worst was Bounce.

Rocking In The Free World was opener for almost every show in USA on TD-tour and I believe it was opener in MK last year...
And I don't mean with that common that we hear them every tour... those are just the openers that have been used the most...
Sure they have used Breakout, Tokyo Road, Pink Flamingos, Raise Your Hands, You Give Love A Bad Name and so on.... but they have been just occassional.
