Ditto! As much as I liked that medley (for lack of a better term), I would've liked to have heard Rick play that end solo on "In The Back Of My Mind" live. The studio version's solo was much more adventurous than the Neil Young-esque single note monotony of "The Chain"'s end solo.

Seven Wonders would be a great opener. The beginning chords could get the crowd going and could be repeated a bit while the band took the stage...then Stevie could kick it in and get the show started.

Actually, I think a GREAT opening number for them to do would be:

"OH WELL"

Then, like they did with "In The Back Of My Mind" in 1990, just segue directly into "The Chain".

It would start the set with an atomic burst of energy ; and, simultaneously, get us old-timers (pre-'75ers) off their back right away about playing "the old stuff".

that makes sense because i have the video where they open with GLIUTB then go into Station Man
