A backwards show, anyone?

How many minds would blow if Mike opened a show with the opening notes to YLed? One show had RIFTW as an opener. We've had Crazy Mary and Baba O'Riley near the start.

But not just a closer as an opener. Hear me out.

Part of the challenge would definitely be to get the flow right.

    With 22 song setlists, I don't need to hear either of these songs live.

    Or Wishlist for that matter.

    Still would be a fun show mixing it up end to start.

    It was a hypothetical setlist. Fill in whatever songs you want as long as it's backwards.

    Indifference as an opener probably blew some minds.

    I’ve wondered why they always to YL as a closer. I know some wary shows it was mixed in mid set, but not too many times.
    Would be cool to throw that in somewhere other than the end.

    I've only ever seen of it as the last or penultimate song. It kind of makes sense with the lyrics and the theme...plus Mike's tag.

    I'm not sure I'd want it at any other place.

    Of course we're all aware of the backwards Mamason which is quite rare.

    Based on that setlist we couldn’t hang.  I’m sure you are nice but sirens and buckle up on a 9 show tour?  Think about what you did.

    Wasn't Live at the Garden also a CM opener?

    I'm thinking Boston 94 was one of those YL shows.

    I'm always amazed at how many people can't make it a show without peeing.
    I basically get 1 chance to pee at work every day. Can easily go 4-5 hours.

    It's gotta be the drinking.

    But that's also why the opening band exists. Get in early and do that stuff then.

    Reasons I pee during shows:
    • sometimes due to beer (drinking and getting another)
    • sometimes I have anxiety from large crowds and like a small sneak out
    • sometimes ya just have to go when ya have to go
    • sometimes I reach to myself, dear god...
