EagleMoon Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 We havent heard them open with 2112 Overture in a loooooooong time. Its usually at the end, so I'm thinking they will move that to the front. My gut however says it will be an Overture of greatest hits like they opened the R30 tour with. We will know soon! This would make sense to me. They could open with 2112 and then segue into an overture of songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaturalScientist75 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I haven't read the whole thread yet so bear with me. I would love for them to open with Finding My Way. I do realize that is not going to happen. But it would be cool. Dreamline is also a great opener. Spirit of Radio too, but I think it now works better late in the set when they do CONCERT HALL and turn the lights on and take the crowd picture. I did not thing Subdivisions was a good opener (love the song though). I think they should open with something that has more drive. Something powerful. Grab the crowd from the first second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch The Mystery Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Until recently I'd say Far Cry, but nowadays I hope they'll open with One Little Victory (with lots of pyrotechnics). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 On past tours they’ve made some odd choices for their opener IMHO. I personally always hope for an opening song that starts with a bang. For me, Limelight and Subdivisions just don’t start with a bang. I also hope that they don’t repeat the R30 opener and do a historical medley. Maybe they’ll do that for the set 2 opener. I think Caravan would be a great opener. I can imagine the intro part starting at the end of the intro video. The venue is still dark and then bang! The song kicks in and we’re off to the races! I also think that The Analog Kid, Far Cry, or One Little Victory would be great openers because they start with a bang. Realistically, I can see them opening with something like 2112. That’s my best guess at the moment. Is Vegas taking bets on this? I disagree that Subdivisions doesn't start with a bang. People went totally nuts the moment they heard those opening keyboard notes and the song stays powerful throughout. I wouldn't mind it being the opener again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30kwpa Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Likely an R-40 medley of some sort or Headlong Flight My preference would be Hemispheres but that'll never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
