however in San Diego 2009, Last Exit into Corduroy was awesome way to burst open an extremely underrated show

Pendulum - Nothingman (Prague 2018)
I don't have any problem with Release-Nothingman or Pendulum-Lowlight. As in starting slow.
But Release-Long Road is a weird combo, with them both being such super-openers.
Go-Animal fits together like Alone-Sad, Untitled-MFC and Lukin-Not For You =

if you’re doing Release or Long Road or Sometimes you need to blast into Brain of J or Hail Hail
Release - Long Road (Fenway 2016) - absolutely incredible and unexpected!
Long Road - Release - Low Light - Seattle 1 2018 - loved it as well, all 3 could be openers, again unexpected and fantastic
