Even though it's their signature finale, it would be dramatic and fun to open with "Roll Over Beethoven!"

Fire On High is be the most voted, we agree. The only problem is... it's an instrumental! If the band was a heavy-metal group or something like that... Not the case.
This didn't bother Jeff back in 1975 / 76 when he used Fire On High as an opening song!

Fire On High as good a song as it is, is no opener simply because it's an instrumental. Maybe an encore like as been said but not an opener...
As per my previous comment to another post. The fact it is an instrumental didn't bother Jeff back in the mid 1970s!

'Daybreaker' - it would certainly show the world that Magic Fingers is back!

I know Fire On High was used but, back in the day many albums didn't yet exist, and ELO was still a very prog-rock band. And by the way, it lacked the sound of the acoustic 12-string guitar. It isn't a good starter after so many pop albums. Maybe starting lff with All Over the World, again? Or good ole 10538 Overture.

I like the idea of "I'm Alive" with an extended, dramatic intro 😊

I like the idea of "I'm Alive" with an extended, dramatic intro 😊 Any hit that hasn't been performed live before is fine with me....
