    I was listening to BA 2013 yesterday while shoveling snow. Release directly into evenflow was Sooo good! I also would love oceans into evenfow. Evenflow needs a good. "WAHH!" Old school yes but I'd love to experience that!

    Present Tense has always been a favorite of mine as an opener. Go is always a great way to kick things off as well.

    I would love to hear hard to imagine as an opener... Has that ever happened before? I've seen them open with Release multiple times and as far as I'm concerned that will never get old. Ever. The 2014 Detroit release opener into oceans is the greatest thing I've ever witnessed at any concert.

    Corduroy also makes a kickass opener. I can't remember which boot I heard it on maybe MSG 2010 but it was phenomenal. Starts off with "and away. .we go!"

    Yes, check the 2008 sets. It happened multiple times, but not at my two shows that tour :disappointed:

    22 shows, 22 different openers would be pretty cool - Some of my favorite shows have been the ones that start out entirely unexpected ie Crazy Mary at MSG 2003 & Can't Keep at Hartford 2008.

    Hoping for Release in Philly. Saw it at 2 of my first 3 shows ever in 1998 but nothing since.
    Of the Girl is a good underrated slow opener.

    I was at both Amsterdam gigs in 2014 and night two they opened with HTI. Insane.

    I like the moody ones to build eh. Like Long Road, Pendulum, Release. In that vein maybe Yellow Moon would work, Parting Ways (ironically given the title)...however I would have thought Given To Fly would have worked but it didn't set the mood for me in Fenway 2018 as they played it too fast. That may be just me being entitled though.
