First of all, I wasn't expecting much. I saw them live already at Graspop 04 and I own the DVD.
But FUCK! It was great. The sound was awesome (which is kind of unusual for Israeli shows) and the band just played flawlessly. I have to say that Jari the new bassist is incredible. He adds so much more to the EG sound. Once, during Recreation Day, I was expecting a solo, and I got it, but I looked at both guitar players, but none of them was playing it. I thought maybe it was Rikard on the keyboards, but I could here a clear distortion. And then I saw Jari firing away - amazing. I especially liked his little touches in Solitude Within.
The setlist was (not in order):
Blinded
End Of Your Days
Rulers Of The Mind
Obedience
Still In The Water
Monday Morning Apocolypse
Nosferatu
Solitude Within
I'm Sorry
Recreation Day
As I Lay Here Bleeding
Mark Of The Triangle
---
When The Walls Come Down
A Touch Of Blessing
The Masterplan (we did the crowd singing thing like in the DVD - hella fun!)
I may have missed one or two.
All in all, I recommend not to miss them if they come around.
