    Why Go. Pearl Jam seriously doesn't play that song enough where I could get so frustrated that it always pops up on bootlegs when my iPod is on shuffle to the point where I couldn't care less if I don't hear that song ever again.
    they've been using that more and more as an opener - it does work well for it.

    I'd start with Go... they USED to use it more as the opener, but its a fun one. That said I do prefer the true 'opener' since you wont get it anywhere else in the show except for an opener (Oceans, Wash, Long Road, etc).

    I love the urgency Go brings to a show too and Oceans is by far under-used. In fact last time played was in Melbourne and it wasn't even the opening song :o

    Thanks, it's supposed to be a bitch proof thread we can all relate to after this turbulent, fun filled and sometimes hysterically funny week :D But feel free to bitch about my own choices although I think yours would be very sweet indeed :D
