I would be 1000% happy in that exact situation - fucking All or None!!

But not gonna lie, Release would have me in tears, as I suspect it would for a hell of a lot of you tough bastards.

That's the fantasy of no more than 25 people tops, on this planet. It is entirely possible they all show up in this thread.


"All or None" would be an odd opener (actually deployed once, IIRC, at the Vic in '07), but I'd dig it. Mainly I'd just be happy to hear it anywhere in the set.

I've only had one "Release" opener, and man it was special. What a classic PJ moment, a "Release" opener. It would definitely be a more cathartic experience, especially in the extra-cathartic context you describe.

But, thinking about what these songs have meant to me over the years, "All or None" gets the edge, no disrespect to the competition.

Also, Stip's hypothetical is exactly why I have zero interest in considering live versions or concert experiences as part of my voting process.
