Heartland

My favourite opening song has always been Kiss the carpet.

I'd go for Burn.

If you have the Brighton 84 gig, you'll know what I mean..
Fecking unbeatable

Especially the '83 bootlegs opening with Kiss

Anything.

Crash and Burn is pretty f'n gripping.

That said, i do like defiant setlists also - like Flood II or Dominion as an opener. i like it when bands don't cater for the audience but do their thing.

first and last and always

Comfortably Numb/SKOS would be nice IMO.

Kiss The Carpet is nice as well and I can also live with Crash & Burn.

But I'd prefer Afterhours as the intro.

After Hours Intro

F & L & A as opener.

BUT C & B ain't half bad.

C&B, short version of ToL, F+L+A

Body and Soul

Comfortably Numb / SKOS

Crash and Burn

Intro = Afterhours
Opener = a mix of FALAA and short TOL .
That`s my pefect beginning .

Perfect end :

......
Vision Thing
- - - - - - - -
CN / SKOAS
- - - - - - - -
Sister Ray ( 20 min. )

More
First And Last And Always
Kiss The Carpet
Crash And Burn

Opener : C&B or Kiss the carpet.
Burn was fine in 84, but I don't think the "new" version would do the trick. I don't like Ribbons as an opener either.
They should keep CN/SKOS for the encores. As for the last track, it doesn't get much better than the Ghostrider/Sister Ray/Louie Louie/whatever you like 15 minutes extravaganza.
Why not try Temple of love (long version) as the last song ?

I love Ribbons as an opener

i'm a classic man...BURN or FIRST AND LAST AND ALWAYS

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrnnnnn!!!

Intro - Afterhours
Opener - Ribbons

indeed, they should play again the long version of temple and why not for that matter lucretia and doctor jeep with synths like Heineken music hall 03

and more often come together, logic, marian, body electric...

I will join you Stef!

Hear! Hear! What I would give to be with Ozpat and Stephan M on that mystical night!

Anyway --- favorite openers...

Afterhours intro with Kiss the Carpet followed by Ribbons on the 1992 "Dark Christmas In London" bootleg is simply incredible! It's a nice smooth ride into the more rocking songs.

I also like Crash and Burn after the hypno-intro music. It rocks like an opener anyway, especially on the Novarock 2006 recording... which also rocks!

First and Last and Always was a great opener for the early 1990s gigs... but I seem to like it better in the second half of a set, especially the updated faster version of later gigs.

Ribbons -- I love this thumping Sister's song but not as an opener (except for those few supporting gigs of 1993). Whatever song they open with, I love Ribbons as the second -- just listen to Novarock 2006!

Burn rocked as an opening song for the 1980s gigs... but it's tempo works better now as a surprise song in the middle of a set.

My two cents!
