    Taking a combination of what a couple of people said I think the instrumental idea would be really good. I'd love to see the band onstage with full house lights doing Master/Slave and have the lights fade down just in time for the intro to Once. :) Whoever said Yellow Ledbetter, yeah that would confuse the masses :D

    I'd vote for W.M.A. - Matt could come out alone and start pounding away, then Jeff would join him, then Mike & Stone would come out, then lastly Ed would come out and sing. A badass way to start the show.

    That being said, Master/Slave going into Once would make me nut myself.
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    Excellent choice and scenario to have Matt come out....don't get too emotional at concerts anymore but that would make me go f---ing nuts!!!!

    How 'bout this? Picture the lights going down, place going berzerk Ed comes out says "good evening' and he blasts into lukin right into leash! (I dunno, thats just me). Something different I guess....
    You think I have my eyes closed?!.....

    for a "soft opener" I would say Hard To Imagine (I know "soft" doesn't really apply) and I am kinda bias because they used that at Bonnaroo
    another "soft opener" would be acoustic Oceans - just that song acoustic then back to full electric

    for a "hard opener" I would love for Brain of J or Got Some
    those first few lines to Got Some work so well and especially the way the whole band comes in at once right from the beginning


    Hard To Imagine would be awesome.

    Green Disease would be cool.

    They opened with Hard to Imagine at MSG1 in 2008 (bonnaroo too) and it worked well; Great opener.

    I know I've seen it once before in '05 in Hamilton, Ontario but...

    Porch

    would be solid as an opener more often.

    Just to show everyone that PJ still have that punk edge they could open with Bleed For Me. I just remembered how much I love them doing that song. :)

    The background information about Arc on the 2003 tour is another example of how lucky we are to be fans of such a cool group. They never embarrass us, only continue to impress.

    I too was thinking Hard to Imagine but that was done. Halifax 2005. Set list looks INSANE!

    Wasted Reprise would be a great one.

    Not sure if it's been done yet.

    once
    solat
    footsteps
    immortality
    Stunned by my own reflection, it's looking back sees me too clearly and I swore I'd never go there again. Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down.

    I think Darden would be a sweet opener when talking about more mellow songs - othervise I would like them to open with Gonna see my friends..
    Run away my son. See it all. Oh see the world.
