Apparently the setlist for their current tour is total dung, but my friend went to their show in Mass on Saturday and got them to play Jotun in exchange for buying Anders a coffee, which he announced on stage.
Cool shit.

they seem to change up the set between nights a fair amount... for once dark tranquillity has something to learn from them

I don't follow. Aren't Bjorn & Jesper both still in the band? Aren't they both guitarists? I'm way out of the In Flames loopty doop.

^ Righto
I meant it like this:
When you hear an In Flames song from the earlier albums (and a lot of times even the new albums), all the awesome harmonies you hear require three guitar players unless there's no rhythmn behind it (which is rare for In Flames). I read an old interview where Jesper said that there were sometimes seven guitars (yes, seven) going at once during some parts of TJR. Personally I think that's retarded, because you don't need a 3-layer harmony over two rhythmn guitars and a two-layer lead. So, when you see all of this stuff live, you get one part of the harmony (so it's not a harmony) and one rhythm guitar- sounds like shit.

meh... you do realize every 2-guitarist heavy metal band in the world has pulled off stuff like that decently for fucking decades
ask judas priest or iron maiden (pre 2000) fans if they think it sounds like shit when they leave out the rhythm guitar for harmony parts... that's why you have a bass guitar you know!
and yeah, 7 layers, sure, but that's probably two identical layers for each rhythm guitar, left and right = 4 tracks (and these likely play the same thing anyway), and then maybe a three-part harmony or one lead dubbed + harmony

Be still, O wand'rer!
How did In Flames used to do it then? Did they bring an extra session guitarist on stage? Or did they just live with not having a 2nd harmony lead? EDIT: Or did they just let the bass play rhythm a la Harris?
