The Devin Townshend band was ALOT better than I expected, especially considering how much I hate SYL and how I think he ruins every Ayreon he's in. I actually really enjoyed their set. And Devin wasn't a total retard when talking to the crowd like he is with SYL.
Dark Tranquility was pretty fucking badass too, even though the only song I really liked the whole show was Punish My Heaven, they put enough energy into the newer songs to make it a good show. Only bad part was that me and my friends had like THE DT fan behind us and he kept climbing over our shoulders to try and rape Mr. Stanne or something, it was kinda cool when they were screaming at each other face to face though. Wish I knew some of the words since mike was leaning right over my head.
And then Opeth, FUCKING YES, I started in the very front with my buds but during Ghost of Perdition some guy got in a fight with the security and I had to move to let the security in the crowd and then I ended up further from the stage like, not on the barrier anymore, still really close, and I even had a better view of mendez and peter from here. But I ended up with like 3 people between me and my buds, and they were in the very front, selfish bastards. But yeah, the sound was kinda wonky the first 2 songs with peters amp I think being set a bit off, you'd hear like random screechy feedback every so often. But after that it seemed his guitar was too quiet for the rest of the set.
Anyway, I was the guy in the dark green fleece jacket thing with longish poofy hair. The one that got 2 Vemon questions wrong(Countess Bathory is a song OFF Black Metal, so I was KINDA right.) and kept asking for Funeral Portrait. I probably had a red nose too since I'm fucking sick. I was very front and center for DTB and DT, and a little to the right and a row back for most of Opeth.
