Opening song for Under the Big Top Tour?
Here is your chance to predict the opening song for the Under the Big Top Tour.
The winner will be announced on April 24, 2010.
Post your choice here and let's see how people pick the new opening song by Jimmy.
I'll go outside the box and place a long shot on " Toes "
Why not start with a cover that fits his style.

Re: Opening song for Under the Big Top Tour?
Safe guess is... 'Big Top' - another good candidate is 'Carnival World.'


I know the voices in my head aren't real, but sometimes they have really good ideas....

Toes (meaning the ZB song I assume) would be great. I wish he would bring back On The Road Again as the opener…..

Re: Opening song for Under the Big Top Tour?
I think Rhumba Man would be a great opener, a little funkier and a
great opening line for every audience...
"well, I'm the same ol' guy I used to be... I haven't changed at all"

I'd follow it right up with Big Top...

My guess would be Carnival World. Upbeat the way he starts most shows and appropriate title.

Re: Opening song for Under the Big Top Tour?
i'd have to go with Big Top, would be sweet if it was Landfall, but highly doubt it
my big underdog pick is Turn Up the Heat and Chill the Rose (starts the mood lol)

Nobody From Nowhere.

Re: Opening song for Under the Big Top Tour?
This is my pick as well, I think Big Top is going to be the song they play when they run the parking lot video. And if he sings "Turn up the heat..." I hope it's the last song before intermission so I beat the ladies room crowd!HurricaneSeason wrote:Nobody From Nowhere.

Re: Opening song for Under the Big Top Tour?
I will go with "Wings". Not too fast and not too slow. And I'm guessing "Hot Hot Hot" doesn't count.

Re: Opening song for Under the Big Top Tour?
I was just thinking about this down in Florida, I think a Jimmy and Mac version of Toes would be fantastic. Even better than 5 o'clock. Jimmy's live rendition with Zac on CMT is great. I think they could do this song more justice than 5 o'clock.

Re: Opening song for Under the Big Top Tour?
I'd like to hear Day-O as in the Harry Belafonte number. I think hearing "DAY-OOOOoooooo" booming over the sound system as Jimmy and crew comes on stage would be an awesome start....much like Hot Hot Hot.
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ...

Re: Opening song for Under the Big Top Tour?
I'm going to go with the obvious choice and predict that the opening song will be "Big Top."

Re: Opening song for Under the Big Top Tour?
I love "Toes" and hope he and Mac sing it sometime during the concert, but I agree, I think he'll start with something more upbeat like "Carnival World."Cincy'sOwnDrunk wrote:My guess would be Carnival World. Upbeat the way he starts most shows and appropriate title.

Re: Opening song for Under the Big Top Tour?
I would hope for "Nobody from Nowhere" myself... it's pretty upbeat and keeps the beat moving from Hot Hot Hot...
I think Big Top is just a little too mellow for an Opening song... would have to be something in the middle of the first set...

Re: Opening song for Under the Big Top Tour?
I'm starting to think that he'll open the Under The Big Top Tour with Big Top.
It seems more better, ha ha, to me if he opened with the album's opening track.
But that's just me. It would be a fantastic irony if he didn't play Big Top because then it would be just like the A Salty Piece Of Land tour.
But there's no way he's going to pass up a chance to sing/shout about fins out in the crowd.
