You know how sometimes when you go to a show and (normally) the headlining band will have an intro to their set? (Sometimes opening bands will have one too) Which are the best ones you've seen? If you could also describe an intro you'd like to see, go for it.
Bald Vulture (a local band) opened for Face To Face back in 2000 and they had some sort of dramatic opera music playing for a good 2, 3 minutes. It was a very common opera song and at a certain beat, the lights would start to come up and the members would throw their fists in the air rhythmically (that was a little cheesy but it worked!)
Tiger Army or Roger Miret and The Disasters or Lars Frederiksen and The Bastards (one of them) played a minute of Nancy Sinatra's "These boots are made for walkin'" I don't know if it had been "between sets"music or if it was part of the intro. Either way it was still good.
Bouncing Souls used the most common music theme that comes to mind when we think of cowboys and Western movies. Then they broke out into "Hopeless Romantic".
Good Riddance used an audio clip of two people having a conversation. It either came from a movie or something they made up themselves.
The kind of an intro I would like to see is a band coming out while the beginning to the first guitar riff of "Deceptacon" by Le Tigre is playing on the speakers. I would love to see that! Most people have heard this song if they went to a club or bar this past year or last year. If you haven't heard it yet, it's electro pop music and it's a very very catchy song.

They open with man or mouse.
My favourite out of those is probably Churchill's Speech/Aces High on the World Slavery Tour 84/85. Best fucking introtape ever. I'm a metalhead in case you wondered.
