    So Right.

    Makes all the sense in the world and I don't know if they've ever done this. For an ideal opener I like upbeat, a sing-along and a jam. This has all 3 plus the lyrics themselves invite you in for the evening. It's the exact criteria I use to decide that Rapunzel is the best opener in the catalogue.

    They have opened with So Right at least 5 times, it's a fantastic song to start off the night

    Yeah, saw them open the electric set with So Right last year. Followed by the stone was an awesome way to open a show.

    Dreaming Tree like the Alpine '07 opener, perfect version of the song and would make a fuck of an opener.

    For the acoustic set, maybe a Dave solo I Need a Word?

    Loving Wings was my first show opener, really unexpected and really cool.

    #41, JTR, and Dancing Nancies are my favorite openers I've gotten at shows

    Would love to see Song Jane Likes and Say Goodbye open some shows
