    I love the slow openers as much as anyone, but I was so shocked they opened with DTE.. it got the crowd going insane to start the show.

    I will only comment on the shows I've been to

    I will have to say,

    Release>>>>>>>>>RVM

    THe RVM was wicked, it was really fast paced, and it didn't have that jam in it. IT was just fast pace from start to finish.

    Sydney 1 2006.

    Noteable mentions

    Betterman>>>>>Last Exit
    Sydney 3 2006
    (Betterman was widely viewd on this board as the best betterman ever by pj. THis was a little while back

  • My very first show was my all-time favorite....

    Toronto, Maple Leaf Gardens - Sept 21, 1996

    Release > Hail Hail - So unbelievable!!

    But, the last show I was just at was pretty close to beating it.....

    New York, MSG - May 21, 2010

    Corduroy > Hail Hail

    If however, we're talking 1, 2, 3 Punch....

    Toronto, Air Canada Center - Sept 19, 2005

    Release > Go > Animal

    Buffalo, HSBC Arena - May 10, 2010

    Unthought Known > Severed Hand > Animal - this is BY FAR the most worn out I've ever been after the first 3 songs....So awesome....

    That was Berlin 2009 also - amazing sets at both shows but I think not quite the best openers that they could play

  • A little late to this party I know but of the three shows I've seen I'd have to say Release>Animal (Mansfield 2 03, Boston 10) is eclipsed only by Release/Severed Hand/World Wide Suicide/Corduroy/Animal (Boston 1 06).
    Mansfield 7/3/2003 | Boston 5/24/2006 | Boston 5/17/2010 | Worcester 10/15-16/2013

    Release/Long Road last night was pretty damn good. Animal did not appear. (No Pendulum in this show, for that matter.)

    I've now been to four shows and Release was the opener for all four. I'd say it's a pretty good bet that streak gets broken at show #5, tonight.

  • I could definitely go for that.

    Checked the shows-played lists and confirmed that last night was the first ever Release / Long Road 1-2. In fact the two songs were played in the same show only once before, 11/19/1996 Istanbul (Release to open, Long Road about 2/3 through the main set)
