Doctor Doctor was played before the intro of the DoD tour in stockholm too. I think it was for the whole tour, as we discussed this intro before, just when the setlist came about, some people said that doctor doctor was played right before it.
 
Is 'Doctor Doctor' a part of this two tours intros ?

1 - NO : in fact, this is just a song played through the PA, not very loud, and the lights are still on. And after this song, lights turn off and the show begins.

2 - YES : it's sure that something is happening in the audience when we heard this song. The first time - during 'Give me Ed' - I was sure that it will be the last song through the PA. And it was confirmed.
And During 'Dance of Death Tour', when this song was played, a big part of the audience understood that the show will begin just after this song. So, excitement grew and it was like the show has begun.


NB : both concerts in Paris. But I think 'Doctor Doctor' was played everywhere.


Edit : And I'm not able to say which other songs were played through the PA before the show. So this song has certainly something special...
 
Nice job gor.

Interesting! [!--emo&:bow:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/bowdown.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'bowdown.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
"Doctor, Doctor" was also played as an "intro" during the Beast on the Road tour.

Doctor, Doctor was also played at the Long Beach Arena during the Gimme Ed Tour and at the Universal Amphitheatre during the DOD Tour. We know that Steve was inspired by UFO and it was probably played as an honour to the band UFO.
