Your wish for the real illusions show opener

[bigsyl]

"Here and now" from sex and religion

[sword]

The Audience is Listening would be cool for all the insults on the teacher. I think that would blow new Vai fans away that are experiencing Vai for the first time.

That would be cool! I really want Steve to play All About Eve no matter whats first!

[nienturi]

How about "shy boy" again?
Its fast,funny song with full of energy. It'd be good choice to enterance of a show. But if we should make a different choice,my vote goes to "audience is listening"

[GreenMeanie]

My #1 choice would be "Dying For Your Love", #2 would be "Love Blood" and #3 would be "Badhorsie"

Joanne

Sorry you dont like my choices but that is what they are MY CHOICES. I personally love Steve's voice. Sorry that you do not feel the same way.

As long as it is a killer song that kicks ass! When I saw him on the Ultra Zone, where he opened with Here I am, now that rocked hard. But if I could choose... I'd pick some early Metallica. Or maybe Wire and Wood by Alcatrazz.

[litlgrnman]

Normally I would expect him to open the show w/ something from the new cd. Fire Garden tour opened w/ 'There's A Fire In The House', UltraZone tour fired up fittingly w/ 'Here I Am' and the last G3 was 'I Know You're Here'. But if he plans on playing the new cd in its entirety I wouldn't expect him to start the show with it.

What I'd like to hear? Hmmm....how about 'The Audience Is Listening' or 'Greasy Kids Stuff'

[V41]

Hm.

I think it would be cool to open up with the Crossroads Duel, and segway that into something like Erotic Nightmares or Giant Balls of Gold or something with a heavy rhythm riff to start.

Definitely nothing from the new album. I think he needs to place those songs strategically amongst the other songs, to garnish the most attention and focus on them.

Just my opinion.

And I love Steve's voice, too, Joanne. I think those are good choices!

[saxaxe]

I personally think Steve's voice is one of the best I've heard....but anyways, The Audience is Listening would be a great opener!....But other than that, somethin from the new album would be good...

[EyesOfFire0221]

Something tender like rescue me ot bury me . or lotus feet something nice and easy to start out before the bombardment of guitar onslaught that is going to follow i cant wait for eh new material though .

[Vaituoso]

Shyboy

[John]

Building The Church

[Vaiboy]

Even though it has been used as an opener in the past, my vote goes to "Shyboy". It's just so much fun. Then, right into "Giant Balls of Gold" etc.
