Because I frigging love it!

Mostly because I love Pendulum, but I still think it's super cool.

I am listening to Worcester I and Release into Long Road... crap! :corn:

    the second song is the song they would traditionally open with. so, you get Pendulum and the the "real" opener follows (Wash, Long Road, Release).
    94: 4-6, 96: 10-2, 98: 9-13, 03: 4-29, 7-2, 7-3, 7-8, 7-9, 7-11, 04: 10-1, 05: 10-3, 06: 5-5, 5-13, 5-24, 5-25, 6-1, 6-3, 08: 6-24, 6-25, 6-27, 6-30, 10: 5-15, 5-18, 5-20, 5-21, 12: 9-2, 13: 10-18, 10-19, 10-21, 10-22, 10-25, 10-27

    That's a pretty cool idea. Nice to see the band switching things up a bit.

    Love it. Also because I cannot seem to get enough of Pendulum :D
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    Fucking love it! I want to hear Pendulum every show for the rest of my life. It rules and my only problem with it is that it's not a longer song!
  • shetellsherselfshetellsherself New Jersey Posts: 8,835
    I love it too! I want to hear pendulum every show forever too. Having the second song as a traditional opener makes pendulum feel like a bonus. It's so beautiful... Ed's voice just soars. Would love to hear pendulum follow by a fast opener. Pendulum into breakerfall and I might just lose it. Most definitely

    Haha, yes! That would be so awesome. And more Binaural all around in general!

    Don't mind it at all. Wish they got to the faster songs sooner though in the set.

    Please! I saw 3 shows and no binaural. I have one chance left tomorrow night. I need some binaural. My favorite album. Before wrigley I hadn't seen the band since 1998 so I've actually never seen any binaural live. Poor me. :cry::wink: I will never complain for real but would be so happy to see any binaural songs tomorrow night

    I wouldn't like if they continue to open with Pendulum in every show. That would make them really predictible plus i think it would make Pendulum less special. And yes please...PLAY SOME BINAURAL!

    I think it's been fantastic. You get an amazing opening song and then another mood setter. But now I want to hear Pendulum --> Hard To Imagine.

    I hope you get some! Over the course of four shows in Brooklyn and Philly, I got Slight of Hand. Great but not enough!

    This is one of those statements that I will make and then this awesome band will prove me wrong. That said, Release --> Long Road at Worcester 1, even as it was happening felt like it may have been the greatest opening combo I will ever see.

    I love the dual openers.

    Been requesting rival for a few months, and brought my sign to Philly 1-2. Will be in Hartford tonight with it :)

    I love the dual openers! Every time I start a run of shows the opener is always long road. I've seen release twice and long road 8 times out of my 32 shows. So I kind of expected long road Philly 1 (and got it of course!)

    Night two was the same, dual openers, and I got to see wash for the first time ever in 32 shows!!

    If I were to see release into long road like Boston... I think I would die!

    Really enjoying these tho, as others have said, pendulum is almost a bonus!!

    Questions. The show that they played pendulum without lyrics, was it a recording? Or was it the band playing the song with no singing... Was Ed on stage? Just curious about that. Thanks!

    I think it´s great that they´re mixing it up!

    But I think it would be even greater if they went into the faster songs quicker for some shows.

    For instance one night the opening could be mellow:

    Pendulum
    Release/Wash/Long road
    Small town/Lowlight/Nothingman
    then LB (or something more fast)

    and then the other night just more or less rip it from the start:

    Long road/Release/Of the girl
    Save you
    Evolution
    and so on....the more classic set!

    Then people wouldn´t know what they are gonna get

  • motorcitymadmanmotorcitymadman Posts: 107
    Genius move, though I still think they should throw in a traditional opener to start off an encore, so you might hear 3 or 4 per night
  • Abe FromanAbe Froman Posts: 5,375
    It seems fucking awesome to me. Pendulum seems to have sorta replaced Metamorphisis II and then a classic opener. Really hope they do it at my one show (OK City). I would love to hear Pendulum into Hard to Imagine!
