Go-Animal is epic when they open with those in the row..

u get it..its afuckin pj show...
Dimi's comment in the "Worst opener" thread got me thinking about this. I don't want to hijack that thread so I started this one instead.

What's your favourite opening 2 song combination at a show?

I've had Go -> Animal twice (and Animal -> Go once) and the place went nuts both times but I prefer the slow song -> fast song openers. I think my favourite combination from the shows I've been too is either Release -> Animal or Hard To Imagine -> Save You

Animal -> Go
Nothing As It Seems -> Breakerfall
World Wide Suicide -> Life Wasted
Go -> Animal
Interstellar Overdrive/Corduroy -> Do The Evolution
Alive -> Life Wasted
All Or None -> Education
Why Go -> Corduroy
Hard To Imagine -> Save You
Release -> World Wide Suicide
Sometimes -> Interstellar Overdrive/Corduroy
Release -> Animal
Release -> Do The Evolution
Go -> Animal

What are your favourite combinations?

    It's a great question, one I look at when I analyze bootlegs.

    Long Road->Corduroy.....Flows really well and builds tension nicely.

    Interstellar Overdrive into Corduroy-> Why Go

    Go->Animal.....Not the other way around, I don't care for Animal as an opener.

    Agreed! The emotion in the building was great and it set a perfect pace for the evening!

    Release into a audio version of March of the Penguins is fine with me (as long as Eddie is doing the Narration).

    The coolest and best opening that I have seen was Release into RVM. I like the jamming that occurs in RVM when it is late in the set, but when it came this early it was just a furious short rocking version that was amazing.

    Also good openings were Oceans into Breakerfall and Releas into Animal!
