NYE Opening Song Predictions:

[moflojo]

At Dawn - No doubt in my mind then probably into X-mas Curtain. But At Dawn fort sure. You heard it here 1st folks. "I good you bid evening"

Oooo! I like predicting crap.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

If they continue where the last NYE left off, will that make a difference?

My guess would be Evil Urges.

[Dillsnufus]

yea if they're taping this which i think they are (and i'm totally going so excited) then it's definitely evil urges. though wordless chorus we be awesome for me.

[Honest Man]

This is a big occassion, so I say it is something they never have opened up with before.

[easy way]

I miss the Mahgeetah opener...

[xmascriminal]

I think Dancefloors + horns would be a really good choice.

[October]

kick it off in grand fashion with......stairway to heaven

[tomEisenbraun]

With Page appearing in a cloud of fog for the solo. I think that's got to be it.

[at dawn]

YES.  I reeeeeally hope they open with At Dawn.  It must happen.  I'm a little doubtful now with all these Zeppelin insinuations, but maybe they'll start with a cover and then begin their set with AD?  

Really though, I'll be ecstatic with whatever!!  23 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

[Penny Lane]

i hope they save At Dawn for the the second half---

i think they'll also switch it up and not open w/EU

my prediction is HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS and somehow connecting that to the Oregon Trail theme.

[Ruckus]

WOW!!!  I lack the courage to make such bold predictions and will take the easy way out and guess a non traditional opener or cover.
Something like ya' know You Can't Bring Me Down by Suicidal Tendencies :-?

Whatever it is, it'll probably be the best live song I've heard in my life at up to that time.  :)

[Salacious D]

I miss the Mahgeetah opener...

+1

"Soooooooo, are you ready to go?"

Hell yes we are :)

[Ghosts_on_TV]

Stairway...

[Penny Lane]

i think they'd need to build up to that---this is not very feminine to say but why bust a load in the first 10 min of a NYE show :-)

[Dodobird]

This is a tough one. At Dawn does make a lot of sense for the opener. JJ said they were going to continue the Oregon Trail theme from the last NYE show they played in '06 at the Filmore (which was hilarious). At the end of that Oregon Trail skit they end up eating Two Tone Tommy to fend off starvation. Then the band came out on stage and started to play something but realized they were missing their base beat. Two Tone Tommy comes down from heaven to play base and they kick off the NYE show with "One Big Holiday"! Sick!!!!

So where do they go from there? Does the band all ascend to heaven with Two Tone Tommy? If so, "At Dawn" would make a lot of sense. Or do they all go to Hell because they just ate their friend for dinner and laughed about pooping him out later?

I think they are all headed for hell. Therefore the opener could be something from evil urges (maybe Highly Suspicious) or it could just be "I think I'm going to Hell". Followed by "At Dawn" to lighten our spirits.

What do you all think?

I agree. There has got to be a little build up before you hit the ball out of the park for a home run. Stairway to heaven is a great song but I don't think they will cover that Zepplin song on NYE. Someone mentioned the Lemon Song. I like everything Zepplin did so I would be happy with any cover.

[goldbondking]

How about a band version of Tonight I Wanna Celebrate With You?  I realize I am only suggesting this because of the sentiment of the title, but still.  I know I want to celebrate with MMJ and all of you as well!

[edierevolution]

My guess is, is that they'll save OBH for midnight. "Stairway" would make sense based on the whole theme of the night. I really doubt it will be "Evil Urges". This is supposed to be a special night and they've been opening up with that one all year.

I'm going to go with "Gideon". I don't really know why. "At Dawn" would be pretty amazing.

[j_rud]

I dont think they'll open with a cover, playing MSG on New Years is a great accomplishment, and they should honor themselves and their fans by playing one of the songs that got them there.

Dancefloors and Magheeta would be great and Anytime has been an awesome opener on this tour. I wouldnt be surprised if they threw a huge curveball and opened with One Big Holiday.
