    Love Boat Captain (I like this one for some reason)
    Lemme guess that reason. Because it's a fucking great song?

    Hahahaha, you might be correct... ;-) It has a great build up + I like the way Ed sang "Let the show began" at Madison...

    Berlin 2 and it was A.W.E.S.O.M.E

    What I would love to hear actually (off topic I know) is a full blown acoustic show / tour.

    I'll pick the 5 openers I've had (in order I've seen them):

    1 Of The Girl
    2 Inside Job
    3 Go
    4 Release
    5 Long Road

    But Release is the favourite. Only way to start a show.

    I actually think Crown Of Thorns would be an awesome opener. Do it PJ, even if just once!

    1. Release (My first.)
    2. Long Road (Second as a live cut, but I prefer the album version of this over any of the other songs here.)
    3. Oceans (A rarity nowadays, it seems.)
    4. Sometimes (Usually forebodes a long and memorable show!!)
    5. Still waiting for my first Wash (Going on about 30 shows now!! Missed it by a night at least once, maybe twice.)

    Severed Hand too for some reason - just to throw everyone off guard...

    Both Severed Hand (with the extended intro) and Love Boat Captain (Live At The Garden) were alternates to my original list and definitely would have made it to my "Top 10".

    Posimists. Fuck the pessimists...fuck'em.
