LAPOE shouldnt be the opener. Its a highlight of the show that should be left for later.

It's also a perfect feed in, both musically and thematically, to Sunday Bloody Sunday. Worked great in Phoenix that way.

2. Zoo Station
3. 11 O' clock Tick Tock
4. Stand By Me
5. C'mon Everybody

Best opener period.
Dark stage. The band circling the Ellipse with spots in hand. Sound of jets flying overhead.
Chilling!

Love and Peace - good opener
City of Blinding Lights - another good opener, although LAPOE seems more suitable for the theme.

Both LAPOE and COBL suck at being openers. The first has no drive and stops to much, the other is Where the streets wannabe but not quit. It might help both LAPOE and COBL if there was a killer intro helping to pump up the crowd. Compared to Popmuzik and the Elevation remix Everyone sucks.
IMHO the best openers of yore were Where the Streets, Mofo and Elevation. They had a great intro building up excitement and slam bam, thank you mam, they hit you like a 10 ton truck and you were in the zone. Zoo Station deserves honerable mentioning, especially on the Zooropa tourleg with that merciless fascist drumbeat and ode to joy, but it petered out after the intro.
