I'm so pleased to hear that Symphony X is coming back to Atlanta - I was so disappointed to miss them last time around while I lived elsewhere.
Excellent points all around. I agree completely. Love the disks, but their live shows are horrible.
And yes, I've seen them too many times to count.
Glad this one is coming near us , but then again, I would have been surprised if this tour did not come to Jaxx.
I saw them on them on the Dark Tranquility tour as well and thought they sounded great, but maybe they had an off night at the show you saw. I can definitely say that the night I saw them on tour with Edguy, they sounded so much better than Edguy did. Part of that may have had to do with the fact that Edguy had their gear lost for the previous night of the tour, which made our show their first night playing on the tour and thus they were probably still working out some issues with the sound and gear. (But somehow I doubt misplacing some gear would have affected Toby's vocals as badly as what I was hearing - he was hitting some real sour notes that night and not holding out the notes in a lot of places he should have been.)
IE is just one of those bands I never get tired of seeing and, honestly, in the 10 or 15 times I've seen them beginning with PPV, I can't say I've ever seen them play a bad show.
Looking at the map, I was thinking that as well. Still a longer haul than to Detroit, but SymphX & Epica are two of my fave bands.Mokena isn't that far from Chicago, and it should be an easier drive from Michigan. Just stay on 80 west rather than going into the city. It might be a bit farther, but you'll likely have less traffic.
What I am THRILLED to see, and I'm sure fellow Boston area folks will be with me on this one, is the choice of the Middle East over the dreaded Palladium! The Mid East downstairs is one of the most overlooked venues in terms of quality, the sound there is excellent, comparable to BB Kings. Probably the best time I ever had performing was a show there - great atmosphere, fantastic sound, I'm THRILLED to see Symphony X in a setting where I can actually hear things as they should sound.

Weeeee I don't have to travel to see this show!!! This is going to be AWESOME!! And I hope SX doesn't cancel the FL dates this time! Floridians know what I am talking about.
Be at both FL shows!!
No he's not. Into Eternity's music disintegrates into a disorganized cacophony of noise live.
You sure as hell must have not seen Into Eternity live in a while.... You'd be surprised at how much better they sound live now.
A while being.....this summer. Last time they toured, with DT/Redemption. Unless they've managed to slip in another tour since then, which wouldn't really shock me.
Amen to that! It'll be great to see them again!I'm so pleased to hear that Symphony X is coming back to Atlanta - I was so disappointed to miss them last time around while I lived elsewhere.
