Keep "Waltzinblack" for the opening proceedings.
Then I want Black onstage first, launching into, "The Man they love to Hate".
Dave takes position next and does some fingering.
Burnel and Warne walk on, looking moody,after about 1.5 minutes.

Re: Best Stranglers Gig Opener
I did like "SBC" as an opener in 1985. I always thought the worst openers during Hugh's time were "Ugly" and "Threatened". 

Hugh - "We had gangs of skinheads coming along trying to cause problems and stuff"
Rick Wakeman - "How did you deal with it?"
Hugh - "Our bass player used to jump off the stage and beat the shit out of them!"

I think Ugly is a good song to have as the second number in the set

MK2 - Valley Of The Birds
MK3 - Norfolk Coast
MK4 - Retro Rockets (I think this would work well, I also think A Soldier's Diary would work well as an encore)
