I think you must've misread my post, because, no, you are the one who is wrong.

Source: have heard Go as an opener too and it does not compare.

I enjoy Release as an opener quite a bit. I really dug Indifference as a set closer, especially following the abortion All Along the Watchtower.

It sets the mood for the rest of the show. You know you are going to get a high energy, fun night.

I like to do proper stretches during slow openers to prepare me for the 3 hour show. Go would just lead to cramps and general soreness later.

Release was a great opener back in the 90's, and it was my white whale for a LONG time! I finally got it in '14 and hated it!

There's just too much wrong with Ed's warbly, H-stopping delivery. Also, he changes 'Dear Dad' to something different every time, it seems.

Definitely into the more rockin' openers unless it's a special occasion, such as Telluride '16, where they began sitting down and acoustic.

I am really hoping I don’t get GA for the three SoCal shows. I won’t be able to walk until like July.

A few have but it sounds like it was due to error on ticketmasters part. There was a small window where some of us could view. I saw mine for denver. You no longer can see.
