We'll be there, typically for the Palladium the show ends as close to 11 on the dot as they can. I just saw Sonata Arctica/Nightwish there, its not the greatest venue but what other choice do you have?
We got to see Opeth/Dreamtheater In Albany (where we live) and that was very awesome, it was an old armory so there was tons of space, and the acoustics were pretty good. For the Palladium the sound isn't too great, although I think it has gotten a bit better since 2 years ago, the place is indeed ready to fall apart!
This will be his 7th time seeing them (my 3rd), so he is psyched, the set list looks very good!
