For me personally I can’t decide between the counting down the days intro mix at abgt 450, liquid love Intro mixed into Long way from home, and the opening for abgt 200.
I actually agree. Usually I much prefer sets that open with an “intro mix” starting at the breakdown, as it’s much more dramatic than just going straight into an extended mix. But the full extended mix of Hideaway is such a great set opener.
Filmic to Promises MS54SOL (probably my personal favorite, saw this live too many times :X)
Aruna Let Go to Mat Zo Superman
Good for me Trapeze
Quieter is louder to WAWN
Too many to choose from tbh haha
Hideaway. Very underrated Gem!
The abgt 250 has one of the best intro's ever, Hideaway + Price of Love, I never get tired of it!
Specifically when they play out the full version with the intro, not just starting from the breakdown.

I was so disappointed at 250 when they played that abridged/condensed version cos I was expecting that THICC intro drop
You are so right! Hideaway still gives me chills from #ABGT250. I can still feel that moment when I think about it.
Andain - Promises (Myon & Shane 54 Summer of Love Mix) IYKYK.
ASOT 500
Wasn't it Filmic the opening at ASOT 500?
ugh this one will always hit
Hideaway 100%, such a magical opener. Easily one of the best A&B track of the last years. I wish they bring it back to their set 🙏
Yeah I agree. Hideaway is a fantastic instrumental.
Their remix of Dirty Vegas - Tonight or Hideaway.
Tonight remix all the way.
This is the way.
Alquimia vs. Sirens Of The Sea into Fatum Chocolate
I miss this!
Liquid Love/Long Way From Home ♥️
Probably we're all we need.
I saw a show where they opened with Filmic into In and Out of Phase (Norin and Rad Remix) and its the best ive seen.
2011/2012? The Group Therapy Era was great when Filmic was their intro!
Das energi in 2019 ....they opened with filmic. It was magical
I think I posted this exact intro on the old Anjuna forums (where I created a thread asking the same question OP has asked here). Looked so EPIC
Good for me trapeze
An OG I see 👀
Filmic into Teardrop (Bart Claessen vs Tom Fall Bootleg Remix)
Which set was this?
[Group Therapy Tour](https://www.1001tracklists.com/tracklist/ntp4r1/above-and-beyond-group-therapy-world-tour-hollywood-palladium-los-angeles-united-states-2011-05-13.html)
What a mega tracklist
2006-2011 era has some insane tracklists
100% Hello they opened with it first time I saw them way back and it was just INCREDIBLE. Had me sobbing from the start.
Yess I forgot that track. They opened with it at their common ground tour at Montreal. What an opener 😳
Liquid love is such an underrated tune! Its up there with the all time greats for me.
Agreed. The sort of acapella Richard vocal at the start is so hauntingly beautiful and just quintessential a&b
What about Need to feel loved (Tinlicker remix)? It's magical.
oh one more - Stealing Time (2012 Club mix)
I like when they use the opener from Disc 2 of Anjunabeats Volume 12, Another Chance -> Grum's Under Your Skin.
Eternal into Hey Now Arty Remix! Still one I recreate every now and then it's timeless
Such a good intro

ABGT450 version of Counting Down the Days into Gratitude
Tri State (Robert Nickson Intro Mix)
If they play Is It Love (1001), Tonight, or Hideaway to open you know you’re in for a treat. I love Screwdriver remix but the others hit different.
Grum’s Is It Love remix to open their Gorge set in 2019 was too good. Almost said that one myself.
Arty - Patriots
Under my skin and We’re all in this together respray are the best two I’ve seen live
Tonight Remix 🙌
Eternal @ Little Something Wembley
Their remix of Tonight 🥲 sets the VIBE so so well!
Anjunabeach (Genix & Las Sanilas Remix)
I’m a sucker for Shout cause you know it’s about to be a party when they choose that
