Ranking the Intros to Each Album Options

[LiveForNow]

Rank your favorite intros to each Live album. Intro has a loose definition, but I'll attempt to define it anyway but providing specifics for each album.

Mental Jewelry - The opening music/"aaahhh" on the Pain Lies on the Riverside before the lyrics. (First 25 seconds)
Throwing Copper - The music before the lyrics on The Damn at Otter Creek (The first 40 seconds)
Secret Samadhi - The music before the lyrics on Rattlesnake (The first 22 seconds)
The Distance to Here - The first verse of The Dolphin's Cry (The first 40 seconds)
V - The track "Intro"
Birds of Pray - The first verse of Heaven (The first 31 seconds).
Songs From Black Mountain. - The La da da da/music of The River (First 18 seconds)
The Turn - The music before the lyrics on Siren's Call (First 32 seconds).

Here's my order:

TC
SS
TT
MJ
TDTH
V
BOP
SFBM

I really hope with the new album the first track has a long musical intro before the lyrics come in. Nothing beats that in my opinion. Every time I listen to TC, SS, TT, and MJ I really feel like I'm about to go on a journey. Same can be said for V, but I'm less crazy about that specific journey.

Distance to Here - I love Where Fishes Go as a concert opener and think it would work better as the album opener too
