Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted December 7, 2021 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 3/23/86, Spectrum (surprised?) stage is dark, Band is in place, stage lights come on, everyone slams their instruments, Phil’s sings ‘so glad you made it!’ To start Gimme some lovin’. My first time seeing Phil sing. That was pretty cool. Also enjoyed Jerry Band opening the same way with Jerry singing ‘How sweeet it is to be loved by you’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wharf Rat Stu Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 I am not so much a "starting off in full gear" kind of guy. I like the more mellow approach, something that will allow us to kind of get our bodies stretched out and ready for a night of bone shaking! My fav opener is Mississippi Half-Step. Nothing to outrageous, I can figure out my groove and get primed for whatever lays ahead. Now for a Set II Opener, yea slap me upside the head with the opening note of a thunderous BAMM of Shakedown or a mental orgasmic Help>Slip>Frank!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted December 8, 2021 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Second set opener is a good spot for Scarlet/Fire. I recall reading that the opening tune or two is about dialing in the sound. You can’t get it right until the room is full of bodies. Just saying. Maybe different on the second night at the same venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP John A Posted December 20, 2021 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Let's change the discussion from best theoretical opener to best actual opener and ask what is the greatest opener ever.... My vote is Buffalo 5-9-77 Help>Slip>Franklin's. With honorable mention to the 1st Terrapin San Bernardino '77. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
