Yeah, I saw 'em in Orlando. The setlist was pretty much exactly as advertised in another thread, except I don't know if they actually played the song 'Iced Earth' at the end, because I got bored during Gettysburg and left after July 2nd...
About the most interesting thing is that there was a guy at the front yelling a lot during the quiet moments, mostly yelling directly to Tim. Tim recognized the guy and said that there were a few people following the band around like flies. At one point the guy held up some CD and yelled something incoherent, and another time he started a chant of "Ripper", after which Tim thanked the crowd and said that "the guy from Akron" started that one. The guy answered that he'd somethinged "a third of..." and trailed off. He seemed like one of those belligerent guys that follows the band around and expects them to give him vials of sweat and sexual favors...
No fuckups I could tell, and Tim did a great job. He didn't have any hair to accentuate his headbanging, but that was the only complaint. Well, that and putting two trilogies back to back. That got really old, and I left the floor to stand further away. Boring. Something Wicked and Gettysburg are awesome on CD, but together, live, they achieve what could be known as "anti-synergy", equating to less than the sum of their parts.
Yeah, plus some weirdo with dark hair and a white button-down pseudo-tackled me, carrying me through the crowd and depositing me further forward than I'd been and directly centered on the stage. If he posts here: thanks. Don't do it again, but thanks. I can now say that a stranger has picked me up and set me down in another place (it was almost a favor), but once is enough.
