Inferno
Wicked
Evolution
Accolade II
Communion and the Oracle
Smoke and Mirrors
King of Terrors
Sea of Lies
Of Sins and Shadows

ENCORE Odyssey.

 

[The Metal Chick]

All I have to say about this show is that even though Russell messed up a bunch of times, he was 100 zillion times hotter than in Milwaukee. Before they left the stage I even got to grab his sweaty wrist, which was gross yet...nice...

[arglebargle]

Wasn't a bad show at all, although once again Pinella's keys were direfully buried in the mix. Eh, whatever. I'd rather they'd've played Divine Wings instead of The Odyssey, but The Odyssey is newer, so uh yeah. Way too much sound at the bass-drum end of the spectrum, wish I coulda heard Romeo's solos more clearly.

 

[MorphineChild205]

I was right in front of Romeo the whole time - it was amazing.

 

[ElvenShadow]

Yea it was a great show, though I think I liked the setlist better at the last show they headlined at that roadhouse place. Did anyone here see me and my friend dressed up as the mascots?

Yeah, well, I'm not exactly a mainstream chick I will drool for whomever I please.

And ElvenShadow, I totally saw you guys there. That's pretty freakin awesome man!

 

[forestofoctober1]

yeah man, i seen you all painted up and shit, i saw you guys last year at the BG show, i was actually wondering if you were going to do that again, heh. and yes, this last show was definetely better than last time i seen them, even though they did play longer, but i just enjoyed this one better, being right on the railing for Symphony X singing every song and banging my head was extremely enjoyable.

 

[-Rivfader-]

I missed them last year.

And I was hoping to see them this year but they skipped St.Louis ARRRGGGHHHHH!!!

 

[Dustro25]

I was right infornt of Romeo as well!!!!! It was fantastic...Sir Russel Has returend Way to soon From his Odyssey!

 

[The Metal Chick]

Sir Russel Has returend Way to soon From his Odyssey!

Are you refering to his lyrical mix up where he sang the last part first? The funniest part about that was the whole crowd ended up singing it that way.

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

He sang the last part first? Explain, I wanna hear this. Sounds funny.

 

[The Metal Chick]

Yeah you know the beginning of the Odyssey where it goes "To return would make my dreams come true" ? Well, he sang "I have returned to make my dreams come true." and everyone, including myself, followed his lead. But he was very professional about it, just kept going you know. He knew he messed up though, he flinched a little, hehe. There were other times during the song that he came in a little late. It was the first time I ever saw him mess up.

 

[FlextoneJunkie]

That was definitely a grrrreat show, as per usual.

Not quite as memorable as seeing them at the Rockhouse in Aurora, but them playing The Odyssey.... \m/ Anybody else here that was at the Rockhouse show?

I loved when that guy kept yelling DRRUUUMMM SOOLLLLOOOO and Russ finally shut him up

 

[The Metal Chick]

The Rockhouse show was really cool because they played Awakenings....BEST SONG EVER

 

[The Yngster]

Oh man I hope they play Awakenings at Lamours

 

[The Metal Chick]

They won't..sorry. That Rockhouse show was last March. They haven't played it since that mini tour.

 

[The Yngster]

Boooo Oh well, watcha gonna do

 

[BastrdDrmr]

Symphony X needs to play Accolade 1!! I know they have the song prepared since they just played it on their Euro tour.

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

Awakenings > Accolade 1

They've played Accolade 1 live a fair bit not Awakenings, and Awakenings is a better song IMO
