Yea. Those live opening slots really give it the edge for me.
I had Oceans open last year for a show and it is a better opener than Release

Release has always struck me as a bizarre choice for an opener

Oceans is a delight. Release is no slouch either but Oceans for me.

An inspired choice. Easily their best opener.

While it is a good opener, there is only one "best opener", and the correct answer is "Go".

Release. It's aged really well, and it's one of the Ten songs that, at least for a good chunk of their career, continued to be wonderful live. Ironically, this is the one PJ song I'm surprised I've never seen. I've caught enough show that I thought I would have seen it as an opener by now.

Yeah, both great. But this goes to Release. An all time favorite. Oceans is amazing though and I hate to see it match up against this song so early.

I have a feeling that we are going to have a lot of these battles where both songs are great...
With that being said, Release is just a little better!
