It's still on my album pre-order, weird that it's disappearing randomly though.

I'm going to have to delete the old date on my calendar sharpish. Two more weeks.
Next Saturday gig aftermath isn't it?

What did I get when I saw them later on the tour as an opener? Show Me the Wonder! Don't get me wrong, I like it as a song but it's not what a show should start with.

What a weird tour that was where they changed between Faster, La Tristesse, Show Me the Wonder, Tolerate, A Design for Life and Motorcycle Emptiness as opener.

It was always there on the album version of the song. It is a sample, not JAmes.

I've now decided I don't like any song as an opener ha!

From Despair To Where is the perfect gig starter though Faster wins the prize for best James introduction "The instructions on the back of this one says go Faster'

They opened with Faster at Leeds on 2014 tour, which was amazing! The setlist included Sullen Welsh Heart, Motown Junk and SMTW. I think they also opened at Cardiff with Faster and the setlists were changed around, though when have they opened with Faster before? Hopefully some surprises on CT tour.

I'm pretty sure they kicked off T in the Park 1999 with Faster... James coming on stage and screaming "F-A-S-T-E-R Faster!" before kicking in to was brilliant. Not sure it has been used as opened much apart from that (asides from back in the Holy Bible days possibly)

That must have been brilliant to see outdoors. In the arena we got the initial intro, it was actually incredible.

Faster is a good set opener, definitely. I also thought Sleepflower, Empty Souls, Strip It Down and Slash 'n' Burn worked really well as openers. You Stole the Sun in a way too, gets it over and done with.

Show Me the Wonder and The Everlasting didn't really work as openers for me. Undecided about No Surface All Feeling and La Tristesse Durera.

I love Motorcycle Emptiness as an opener, though I hope they start with a song from THB. I also hope they include songs from GATS.

[FacelessSenseOfVoid]

ME is a great song but it's frustratingly long, literally takes the space of two songs in the setlist due to its length. I wouldn't be sorry to never hear it again personally. I've heard it so many times.

[everlasting]

I just watched the band playing in Japan from a few weeks ago, this was good video and solid performance, but I was somewhat shocked at Sean, his appearance now with his long white beard and he's sure put on weight big time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUISl5AAxbY

Motorcycle Emptiness followed by International Blue would be my all-time opener and follow up. Really looking forward to seeing them in Wolverhampton.

On Resistance is Futile tour they opened with International Blue then Motorcycle Emptiness, so it could happen the other way. I also love the bluer skies version of International Blue and would be nice if they include an acoustic and instrumental again, which could be on Critical Thinking.
