Oh, so do I.  I'm just wondering if they're gonna make a switch.

Yeah, that would be the ultimate of course but there hasn't been any scuttle-

Yeah, the opening line of  "You think we look pretty good together...."  lends
itself to nice opener status.  Worked well on the '79 tour.

No, they won't open with WAY.  That's a middle-of-the-set song.  The only

Well, they'd cut out the jam/improve part......a la' the '82 tour.  It would be the
3-minute MG.
