What song should they open with, that they haven't yet?

[gardenparty]

i've always wanted a Butch Cassidy opener

[EverythingChanges]

If you open with Strangulation there is just no where to go after that.  It's one of my favorite songs but I don't see at as an opener.  It would be like opening with Don Dante..ya know?

Not trying to diminish your street cred anymore  ....you are one of my favorites here.

I know it is unconventional, but hear me out.  I am sure it will never happen and it makes for a pretty downer/ mind fuck set, but I'd love to see it!  I think the opening riff is powerful enough to grab the audience as an opener.

Picture this: You are on the rail deep within some hidden forest.  There is a certain foggy mist hovering over the stage as the sun sets.  Out comes My Morning Jacket and so begins Strangulation and a deeply moving set.

Friends Again, since I haven't heard it live since ATL a few years back and its never played it seems.  Really like the tune though.

They've opened with this before I think but OBH would be a killer way to start a show. Especially a NYE-party type atmosphere, and it'd open up a spot for a different closer.

NYE at the Fillmore in SF, 2006!! Perfect opener for an amazing night. It definitely set the tone.
