A very good night indeed...lets start with that bad parts....so that way we can end on a good note 
34 MINUTE SET LIST!!!!!!!!AHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
Inferno
Wicked
Communion and the Oracle
Awakenings
Of Sins and Shadows
Me, my drummer (v013c54nd51gn5 on these boards) and our bassist went. Now, the show was great, excelleny performances by all 5 members and the sound wasnt too bad (during communion and the oracle there was a horrible problem with the bass being WAYY too loud....it was seriousley painful how much it rattled our insides). At times, the vocals and guitar shoulda been louder, but overal it wasnt too bad. Performances were flawless, as to be expected....especially on Of Sins and Shadow...they changed the last KEy/guitar harmony in the solo section and it was awesome. Great crowd interraction by Russel...here is a transricpt of a conversation wiht an audience member (maybe not word for word but you know)..
Russel: *vocal solo in WIcked (first time)
Fan; That was hot!!1
band stops
Russel: Did i just sing something that made me hot?
Fan: random yelling
Russel: we are in philly right? i want to make sure we are on the right coast...
fan: yells back:
Russel: Well if you think im hot, then i think your hot too (sexy voice)
lol good stuff...then he did two more vocal solos
Now comes the best part. We left right after SX played (school next day and weve seen QR before). While walking back to the car, i jokingy say (or maybe my drummer said it, i dont rememner) "hey maybe the band is hanging out in that dark alley back there"....then i was like wait a minute....thats fucking Michael Romeo!
SO we walked up and chatted for a good 10-15 minutes probably. He was just as bummed out abot the short set as we were and we talked about stuff like the new album, the tour, other bands (had a DT conv....tot came up). Talked aobut gear technique, told him about our band. He seemed pretty impressed and thought it was cool when we told him we were covering Sea of Lies and some other stuff. Hes a really cool guy and it was a pleasure meeting him. Its really cool to meet one of your idols and even cooler when tehy talk to you like friend and not a celebrity, relaly down to eath and awesome guy.
I tihkn that just aobut covers it (htoughi know im missing something)....oh well im sure my drummer will post some corrections in the next...oh ..say... 2 mintues
