The previous Tuscaloosa thread had a nice discussion about 2nd set openers and an argument that they only push the envelope on certain songs (DWD & CDT notwithstanding). The research department has pulled together some data. Here is a list of 2nd set openers by volume since 2012, when arguably they began pushing the limits at this point of the show more. Special shows (10/31's or NYE) used the 3rd set song for a better comparison.
