This was my first time seeing the band play. WOW. Powerful sound. Great live band. Since Firewind shared the bill with Divine Heresy, Dark Tranquility, and Arch Enemy, they only played a short set, focusing on the new material, but the sound was great. And met most of the guys afterwards at the merch booth. The Fire and the Fury must never be deleted from the setlist!!!
 
hey i was at that show too!

ARE YOU SERIOUS YOU MET FIREWIND????!!!! WHEN? I STUCK AROUND FOR A WHILE AND I DIDN'T SEE THEM THERE! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!
 
What was the setlist, do you remember? And Arch Enemy's as well?

From the songs that I recognized, the setlist included these:
Mercenary Man
Head Up High
The Fire and the Fury


They probably did more songs from "The Premonition" but I only got the cd a day before the show, so I'm not too familiar with the album just yet.

Don't know the Arch Enemy setlist. I actually left a few songs before they ended their set. And I don't know any song except "We Will Rise."

Maybe orcslayr23 can help out with the rest of the setlist.
 
also, I am the Anger and Insanity and The End of Time

so let's put everything together.

I am the Anger
Insanity
Mercenary Man
Head up High
The Fire and the Fury
The End of Time

Well after FW played I wanted to hear a little of Divine Heresy's set, but I actually heard the whole set. When they ended, the singer of that band said "you could meet us at the merch booth". So I thought, all of the bands are probably doing this to sign auto's and do the picture taking thing. So I walked over to the merchandise table and there was Apollo and Mark talking with some people. Then time went by and I went back inside to hear Dark Tranquility, then was walking around and I saw Bob. He was actually standing towards the back of the venue, near the merch booth as DT was playing. Then I saw Gus signing auto's at the merch booth. And Petros for a second. Bob lingered around the most though. He was standing in one spot during DT's set.

So I would say in between the end of Divine Heresy's set and during the setup of Dark Tranquiilty's stage gear was when all of the guys were seen at/near the merchandise area.
Ahh, sucks you didn't meet them. Especially when they were hanging around for awhile. Sorry to throw salt in that wound. :(
 
the songs from the NY show were

Into the Fire
Insanity
Mercenary Man
head up high
The FIre and the Fury
Till the End of time

The pics are cool dude. I can't wait until they come to Houston. Got my ticket yesterday. So they hang around the merch booth? Cool. I just wish that their set was longer.
