I miss Detroit :waah: Behemoth at Alvins = :kickass:

I've only seen SymX 4 times and I agree completely. Lady of the Snow ftw :notworthy

And here I thought I was the only person who reads these forums that was at that show... :kickass: I didn't notice any issues with the balance, though I was right up front so perhaps we were just in different areas of the crowd and thus getting a bit different sound. They slayed regardless...

No, it's there. It's a reasonably common technique in numerous types of music. Take Opeth - Blackwater Park at 5:13 (a much shorter example) or Holst's Mars from the planets, a little less than halfway through. The strings go through a long ascending line, the whole orchestra stops dead, and...

All these nods for Still Life and no love for My Arms, Your Hearse? :OMG: That is by FAR my favorite concept album! So dark and full of Opeth's characteristic contrast of sound. :)

One long set would definitely rock :kickass: New Mythology Suite (in its entirety!) for the win! :rock: OOoo, playing the epic from Paradise Lost ("Paradise Lost", I would assume), immediately followed by DWoT. :rock: :rock:

I'll probably go, barring last-minute conflicts with work

I'll be at NYC or Hartford. Hartford is closer but man it would be cool to go to the first show of the tour! :OMG:

I think there is a slight distinction between our respective ideas, but thanks for crapping on my post anyway :rolleyes:
