[Dr. Van Nostrand]

I like the idea of ledbetter as an opener someday, but the show needs to close with release and be a completly reversed show, first set about 4 or 5 songs, 2nd set 5 or 6 songs and the 3rd set or last encore 17 or 18 songs

[epilogue]

Fun for a goof. But a YL opener is weird.

[Birds in Hell]

Yeah, it's one of those things you (well, not me) think would be cool, but it really wouldn't be.

I think it would kill a show before it got started. Not sure the gig could recover.

Maybe if they tried what Doc suggested. Maybe. But, I mean, maybe.

[Kevin Davis]

It couldn't be any worse than "Better Man" as an opener.

"My voice needs a rest, why don't you guys handle the first verse?"

Yeesh.

[epilogue]

Mood wise, though, Better Man could get things started. It has forward momentum. Especially with a good tag. And the audience is with you immediately.

YL the first thing the guy says to you is, "I don't wanna stay." Plus, we're conditioned for it to be the end. If it's more than your first show, you're packing up inside.

Oh, you know Eddie would change the words in genuine "let the show begin" fashion.

God help us all.

On the ceiling
On the floor a letter sat
Come out and play
I only want to feel this way again

On the stage here
On this porch we're gonna rock
Let me say
We can't wait to play all night

Im sure that would be the lyrics. Id like to see it just to say i saw it, not sure if there would be another way to make ledbetter interesting on a setlist

[stip]

REM used to close shows with end of the world as we know it. I saw them the day after Bush won relelection in 2004 and they opened with that song, and followed it up with a traditional opener. I loved it. Granted end of the world is a different type of song.

[epilogue]

Way different. Sounds cool, though. End of the World works well in both the front and the back.

[stip]

it does. And I think starting a show with Yellow Ledbetter is confusing and unsettling and creates a 'what is going to happen next' feel. I agree completely that it's not a great way to start a show, which is why you'd need a more proper opener to follow it up. YL becomes a preface

I could see this being kind of cool, if like you said it was followed by a proper opener.

[@SkitchP]

Could you refresh my memory?

There was a bit of a dust up in the "Mix Tape" competition a couple years back when I may have expressed a strong opinion about the entries that had their studio selections mixed at the beginning, and their required live songs clumped together at the end. I found it a very lazy attempt without much thought.
