Which songs would you like to see open a show that so far haven't been used in the past or at least have rarely enough to mention? I'd really love to hear Garden or Wishlist :D

    Even Flow was the opener for the Burgettstown (Pittsburgh) show in 2000.

    How about a show where they open with Yellow Ledbetter and close with Release.

    That is very interesting. I don't know how I'd feel if they busted into that one right off the bat

    I'd love to hear Unthought Known too, such a slow burner and NAIS was superb at Cardiff indeed. I'm just watching Chile night 2 from 05 where GTF was opener :D

    Why Go. Pearl Jam seriously doesn't play that song enough where I could get so frustrated that it always pops up on bootlegs when my iPod is on shuffle to the point where I couldn't care less if I don't hear that song ever again.

    they've been using that more and more as an opener - it does work well for it.

    I'd start with Go... they USED to use it more as the opener, but its a fun one. That said I do prefer the true 'opener' since you wont get it anywhere else in the show except for an opener (Oceans, Wash, Long Road, etc).

    I love the urgency Go brings to a show too and Oceans is by far under-used. In fact last time played was in Melbourne and it wasn't even the opening song :o
