All Those Yesterdays as an opener

I think this would be pretty cool to see as an opener. I mean yes, to have them finally play it in general would be cool, but I think it's similar to Hard To Imagine. Slow intro, then finally builds into a big jam towards the end. I think it would be an interesting way to open a show. Hell, just play the damn song ONCE!

    I can't believe it's been almost 6 years since they played it last. 11 years the times before that. :o It's such a good song.

    meh, of the girl is a great song but i dont think its a good opener, and i have seen it as an opener, i think its more suited in an acoustic set in the 1st encore surrounded by songs like nothingman and footsteps.

    ATY would be an awesome opener though! i would just be happy to see it.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    Agreed. A much better opener than ATY, I would think.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    I think ATY is more suited as a closer than an opener. Maybe add a little bit of a guitar solo somewhere in there to stretch it out a bit and close with it (maybe better to close the first encore as opposed the show).

    And to those dissing Of The Girl as an opener: San Fran '06. Wow! I've never seen it played live and would love to.
