Opener

[Ozzwald]

Rat is a tour de force man.....especially vocally. Jesus, what a song!!! I'm in another land when I hear that song.

i lived in corpus for a month

i hated it more than any place ive ever been

Corpus & South Texas in general is the single biggest shithole I have ever lived in. I hate it with a passion. I can't wait to get to Nashville in about 4 or 5 months!!!

[sodamntired]

Giant would be best.

 

Does he play that song anymore?

[leftofnormal38]

he played carmelina and the rat in toronto, i would love to hear tripoli some day live

[Antipop]

He played Rat Who Would Be King, Carmelina and The Workers Sing a Song of Mass Production when he was here last year, so guessing that AOB rumor is false.

Most likely he doesn't play songs from that CD very much because it wasn't as popular a CD. Since the band split, he rarely plays anything from his MGB days that wasn't a huge single.

I love Audio, so I was really happy to hear those three in concert. After Workers, he let us know that it was the second time they ever played that live (first time was Saskatoon.

And for best opener? Near Fantastica, Giant, or Man of Action would all be great. Basically any song that allows the band to start playing one by one is a good opener.

[solidus]

he opend here in van with put out your lights, it was so crazy

[CaptainRocket]

For me, Man of Action would be the perfect opener since I haven't seen it live.

[Drizzt]

I've seen him open with Near Fantastica, Pledge of allg and 21 century living and NF was the best by far...the drums were crazy shiat

[ecnarf]

Since when is Giant decidedly upbeat?

 

EDIT: Unless you're opening with the Toronto Argonaut cheerleaders.

When I saw him he opened with 21st century....

 

but i would like to hear Jenny's song as an opener next time

I would love to hear Jenny's Song live period. If I heard that song live I would be <--> this much closer to being completely satisfied and ready to die...

 

 

 

For such a happy thought that sure came out morbid

[skysosmrt]

I second hearing Man of Action but I doubt it since it's not Matt's fave album. Then again, for the Put Out Your Lights tour, he surprised us and did a re-worked version of The Rat Who Would Be King. Since Matt will be playing Arts County Fair,I'd love to hear the band open with an oldie like Haven't Slept in Years or Symbolistic White Walls 'cause it's been a few years (Edgefests, etc) since he's been at T-Bird stadium. Other than that, my votes for 21st Century Living or Pledge of Allegiance (in lieu of the election). I'm still hoping for the resurrections of Fearless, The Fine Art of Falling Apart, Truffle Pigs or Advertising on Police Cars to show up on a future setlist. *crosses fingers*

[Truffle Pigs]

Lets be honest here,the best way for Matt to open a concert would be by playing Giant with a bunch of hott cheerleeders........wow,that would be a great day!!! ;)

[Ozzwald]

Truffle Pigs......honesty is not always the best policy.

 

But in this case it most definetly is!!! I do agree.....GIANT with a buch of scantily clad cheerleaders would totally rock!!!

[calumania]

Giant, hands down

[mrs.matthew.good]

But I have never seen him live, so I'd be happy hearing him cough up a loogie for an opener!!!LOL!!! At least I would be at a show!!! Hahahaaaa.

You poor thing, i feel for you. Go right now and buy a bus ticket to Vancouver for April 8th. don't wait another minute you have to see him live. he's so awesome!!!!! Cheers!

[calumania]

Matt Good was amazing live. I had no idea that he was actually that fantastic. Everybody should see him. Go, now.

[SuperVillain]

He is by far the best live musician I've ever seen. I go everytime he comes to town, and I'm never dissappointed.

 

I'd love to see him open with Raygun. That would be a good day indeed.

[wonks]

I'd prefer if he kept Giant as the first song for the encore. the best opener I've seen was probably apparitions solo. that song sets the stage perfectly for weapon.

[The Worker Sang]

he's pretty much the only act I seen for the past 3 yrs... he opened with Apparitions in winnipeg. I'd love to here "The workers" as an opener. I remember back in 2003 opening shows with a re-worked version of "pledge". That was awesome.

 

vote for Workers as the Opener

[SuperVillain]

I really liked the revamped 21st Century Living he used on the POYL tour. That was awesome too.

[5ilent Narcotic]

Man of Action, Giant always for encore set.
