Well, Just got in from Symphony X in Hartford CT.
My band, using the temporary moniker The Master's Hand, opened for SX on the mainstage, an amazing rush, especially considering it was our first show together as a band. We played pretty well, we were all happy with our performance, a few here and theres, but the crowd dug us, and the crowd went nuts for a cover of Rush's "Tom Sawyer."
Echoes of Eternity was good, couldn't keep me interested. The chick singer, although an absolute babe seemed more like a gimmick than legit. She looked out of place, though my penis didn't mind at all.
Sanctity sounded like bad metallica trying to be overly badass with Dave Grohl on drums, I was not impressed in the slightest.
Symphony X was dead on balls accurate, I saw em in NYC in May, and thought they sucked in NYC, but this show, damn, they got tight quick. They were a bit loud, almost peaking, making it a bit muddy, but they still played great, and the sound only took away from integral bass lines and a couple keyboard solos.
Setlist in No particular order after the first 4
Oculus ex Inferni
Set The World On Fire
Domination
Serpent's Kiss
PARADISE LOST <---- Holy balls.
Inferno
Evolution
Smoke and Mirrors
The Walls of Babylon - pleasant surprise
Sea of Lies
Of Sins And Shadows
Encore:
The Odyssey
Super tight for the most part, especially considering first night of the new tour. What a night, probably the #1 show I've seen from them in the 5 times I've seen them in the past few years.
