I'm going out on a limb, but I really think LNF will be the opener this time, and Bridges will get removed. It was a staple last time, which is why it makes sense why it would go (it was played at nearly every show).

I don't know how many cities are being played in that are repeats from the last tour (or within close distance to a previously played city on the 1st leg), but I have to imagine that there are enough to where the set will be shaken up quite a bit, which includes a new opener.

I think the band is comfortable with Bridges in the opening slot for all legs on this tour.  I doubt they will open their show with the video contest winner since i think James may pause and talk about this interactive element of the band and its fans (I imagine this "breather" will come once the show has already been rocking for a few songs)

Bridges will absolutely not be removed.

I tend to agree.  I think Bridges and OTBOA will be the two constants in every show until they are done touring on this album.

I would not be at all surprised to see LNF open with maybe a little bigger piano intro with the lights down then BOOM!  But they will certainly still play BITS....not sure where, but they will....possibly encore?

Actually, now that you put it that way, if they open with that piano-windy intro, and then go into the song, that'd be an AWESOME way to open the show...and it makes more sense to replace BITS since this is the 2nd NA leg, so they've probably played BITS at nearly every city they're revisiting this go around.

I have a good feeling about this. The show must be a bit diff than the previous leg and this would be a great way to make this leg unique from the last, plus the song as made to be an opener.   BITS will still be in there though, you can bet on it (and damn, I sure hope so as it is one of my favs).

Well Under A Glass Moon makes for a good opener and was used during the festival shows... so why not LNF? :neverusethis:

I wouldn't mind LNF as the opener but I think BITS works better

Not too excited about LNF. Least favorite from ADTOE.

Count me as totally opposite to this feeling.

This sounds great. As long as BITS stays somewhere in the set, I'm happy.  :metal

I'm so excited to hear LNF is being put into the set ;D

It's definitely one of my favorites on the album! The instrumental section is just off-the-wall. I am in the camp thinking this song would be a great concert opener.

I don't really like LNF. And it's long. So double whammy for me.

Dude, even if you're not crazy about it, it's totally going to slay live.

Not as much as SD-V or Hollow Years. :hat

This was the song I was praying  :hefdaddy  they would play this leg of the tour, I can't wait, it would make a great opener, as I'm sure they will still play BITS.
