Electrophile Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Immigrant Song. That version on HTWWW is just too kick-ass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daeron Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 "The Song Remains The Same", because it doesn't really fit anywhere else in the set list. "Rock And Roll" is a great opener as well, but with the closing drum solo it also makes a great encore/show closer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeppelin_2008 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Has to be "Rock and Roll" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

timothy5151 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Definitely open with We're Gonna Groove and a MUST close with Rock And Roll. All the stuff in between just make this a kick ass show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charles_Obscure Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Off the choices there, it'd be TSRTS... But my all-time fav. is Achilles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ledzeppelinfan1 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I love TSRTS and all of the songs but for a opening song Rock N' Roll is the best Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alienslayer Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 i voted the immigrant song Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black_Dog_90 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 "Rock And Roll". It's so powerful song to start with, and it's rock and roll. "Immigrant Song" is good too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deborah J Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 "Rock And Roll". It's so powerful song to start with, and it's rock and roll. "Immigrant Song" is good too. I agree for an opening song.( would be nice to see them again with that as an opening song!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mercurious One Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I chose The Song Remains the Same. It's like a fanfare already. The lyrics are about playing all around the world and as an opener it says "and tonight we're playing HERE!" Rock and Roll works, but Robert's voice never seemed warmed up enough not to be squeaky when they opened with it. Train Kept a Rollin was cool too, but not included in the poll, lol!

Walesdad Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 It can only be Rock and Roll. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ally Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I've already commented on this ages ago but I still say that Ledded 1's description of Immigrant Song takes the bull by the horns. To quote him..." Like a heard of fucking elephants coming at ya". He be right ! I have never heard a better openning number for any concert before or since . Simply The Best !!!

Gospel Zone Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) Rock And Roll by all means. One of my pet peeves is when they do it as a phony encore. I don't like phony encores of any song for that matter. Get real! Edited January 4, 2010 by Gospel Zone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zepps_apprentice Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 even though the Immigrant Song is my favorite song. Either Were Gonna Groove or Rock and Roll. classic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbreaker Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I chose Immigrant Song. While I love all 4 of the choices, in my opinion an opening song should have constant energy, and get the croud pumped up. The way Zeppelin plays We're Gonna Groove, they slow down in the middle, and after the blistering opening of The Song Remains The Same, the band slows way down, and absolutely kills the intensity. So the only 2 songs left in my mind were Rock and Roll and Immigrant Song. For me personally, Rock and Roll fits best during the latter part of the setlist than at the front, whereas Immigrant Song fits nicely at the very front, but not so much anywhere else. And there you have it! My entire mental though process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JiMiHeNdRiX1967 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 i like rock and roll you kinda cant say "been a long time since i rock and rolled" when you rock and rolled 5 minutes ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheesehead1204 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 This is for the live collections right? Well I choose Immigrant Song, cause when it kicks in it hits you immediately with the ferocious guitar riff and gets you excited right off the bat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy Page= King Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I would say 'We're Gonna Groove' for the simple reason that is says exactly what they're going to do for the rest of the show and the others songs could be played as encores 'We're Gonna Groove' couldn't.

missytootsweet Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Well, this is easy since my favorite album is Houses of the Holy. Have to go with The Song Remains the Same. I love when Robert starts out with those signature hand gestures singing.... "I had a dream...crazy dream... Anything I wanted to know, Anyplace I needed to go..... Hear my song, People won't you listen now? Sing along with me, You don't know what you're missing now...." Yeah, that does it for me. I also think at both the beginning and the end Jimmy just tears it up on his guitar and JPJ and John Bonham play very tight on the song as well imo. Definitely TSRTS for my pick. ....... missy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IpMan Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 What about Wanton Song? I know it was never played by Zep as an opener, but, it was played by Page & Plant as an opener and worked very well. As far as reality is concerned, Immigrant Song was my fav Zep opener, but other tunes could have been just as effective: Good Times, Bad Times & Custard Pie come to mind.
