    Disappointing. Not a big fan of the song and it meant we weren't getting one of the traditional openers. Not a fan of it as an opener. Saw it in Hartford 2010.

    I agree! Every show I've been at where this song has been played, has gotten a great reaction from the crowd. I think it would be a fantastic opener! :D

    They opened with it at the Isle of Wight show.

    Maybe those people should chime in?

    Love the song, but not as an opener.

    It's a bit like Wishlist for me, nice and all that, but has no place as a concert staple, and certainly
    not as an opener. Eddie seems badly out of tune on the early verses, from the live versions I've heard

    Because of the song? Or because it means you won't hear a more rare opener?

    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    Has nothing to do with hearing a more rare opener. For some reason, it just doesn't feel right as an opener even though it is prob in my top 5 PJ songs. Would much rather hear something like Release, Long Road, Wash, etc...

    love this song ... but mostly with headphones and my eyes closed ... or driving at night ...

    as an opener - it doesn't really work so well ... i think it's much better suited as the first song in an encore ...
