As for the upcoming show in Poland (they've never played here) 
I think it should be something from Zep. TSRTS would be perfect,
 as well as The Wanton Song (one of my favourite Zep numbers ever),
 but... I personally would love them to start with TSRTS... I would 
close my eyes and imagine myself somewhere 21 years back...

Damn! I even had a dream (crazy dream) of me at the P/P show, and 
they opened with TSRTS... After that they should play Rock And Roll 
or Celebration Day. Or maybe Sick Again...

That isn't a bad idea. House Of The Rising Sun/Good Times Bad Times 
would also be great. If they start with some easier stuff, it should 
be immediately followed by a strong kick... 

BTW: Achilles also would be a great opener, don't you think?
