Your favourite first 2 songs at a 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.dimitrispearljam wrote:Go-Animal is epic when they open with those in the row..
u get it..its afuckin pj show...
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?

Long Road into Save You
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!

It does work quite well, boy that show grew on me quick. Both Berlins are stunning bootlegs.
Long Road into Why Go at Berlin 1 isnt too shabby of a start either!
