Best opening song

[JimmyPageZoSo56]

Pick one

Even though I got to see them open with TSRTS in '77, I would have loved to see them open with Immigrant Song back in 71/72. I thought it was their best show opener.

[JimmyPageZoSo56]

I like Rock and Roll

[PlantOneOnMe]

Unfortunately, I can only go with what I've seen on DVD, that would Rock N' Roll

[Hots on for nowhere]

surprised ALS isnt on there, has a great opening with the guitar slowly coming in until the Great Bonzo storms in on drums

You must mean that it would be a good opening song even though they never have opened with it.

I can see your point. That's an interesting idea.

I think alot of what would be good opening songs for the Stones,(other than the ones that they have opened with).

yes that is when i mesnt sorry i miss understood the topic...but now that i understand it i would have to choose "Rock 'N Roll"

[JP-Outrider]

My favorite opening song is We're Gonna Groove.

Just watch the official DVD RAH footage...what a great start.

you know I mean concert opener right?

[Mr.Kite]

Immigrant Song!

Where Is Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog and Good Times Bad Times?

[JimmyPageZoSo56]

ok

everyone is asking me why a certain song isnt as an opener.

Concert openers not songs that Zeppelin didn't open a show with.

I dont remember Zeppelin opening with WLL or BD though. I forgot to Add Good Times, Bad Times.

We're gonna groove for me. Like in the Royal Albert Hall concert. Beautiful!

I always thought that Rock and roll is more suitable for an ending.

My cousin and I had tickets for the Cleveland, October 26/27, 1980 shows at Richfield Coliseum, before the cancellation of the 1980 US Tour.

I had always thought at that time how appropriate, "In the Evening" would have been for the opening number.

I was hoping for the 02 Arena show, they would open with it. To my surprise not only did they not play it, but not a single song from In Through the Out Door.

Another vote for "Immigrant Song".

Great opening tune. And from a band that, in those days, had everything to prove and nothing to lose. And their playing reflects just that.

Train kept a Rollin was pretty good for a openning number in 80 .

Song Remains the Same 77 and 79

Rock and Roll 73 and 75

Train kept a Rollin in 69

saw those played what would i like to see them open with next tour

For Your Life or Black Dog

[kublakhan27]

A tough choice but I'll go with Immigrant Song

[NYC6880]

I went with Immigrant Song, Ive always loved the IS/HB openers.

[albionremain]

Pick one

You forgot "Train Kept a-Rollin'", which they opened with on the "Over Europe '80" tour...

[JimmyPageZoSo56]

yes, I already mentioned that

[NickZepp]

They opened up with White Summer once in 1969 because they couldn't find a Les Paul to open with what they wanted to.
