Hi
does anyone remember what show (i believe 2003) they opened with present tense? i remember that being one of the most intense openers of all time, but only saw it happen once.

The way this song builds... should it open more shows? what do you think!

    Opened Thunder Bay in 2005 with PT. Great opening song! Hope they break it out this tour.

    PT is cool as an opened but better as a set closer.

    No way....It's a momentum builder.

    Yay! PT (thus my name) and Hard to Imagine were/are my 2 holy grails and have been for a very long time. I've missed these songs each time before (like Chicago last year...could fly in for night 1 but not night 2...they played HTI).

    When I was at this St. Louis show and Mike walked out and started playing PT as an opener, I couldn't believe it!

    I agree. I would much rather it as an opener.

    anyone have an mp3 of this? glad im not the only one! i remember matt couldnt wait to start pounding... alot of tinkering by him before he actually kicked in... mp3 or youtube would rock!

    and when they do kick in, it seemed so fast and intense... but thats from memory.
