Just curious to know how the show was and how many ppl showed up. Did Symphony X mix the setlist up or did they do the usual set I hear so many ppl say they do? How was Amanda and Into Eternity? Also did anyone go see Trail of Tears @ Tremont? How many ppl showed up for it? I heard @ Jaxx like maybe 50 ppl showed up. I hope Symphony X had a good turn out so they will come back. I talked to Hansi when Blind Guardian played there 12/06, he said it was a small crowd, but very energetic, everyone was into it, and he would love to come back to Charlotte. Hope Allen and co. are the same.
Set list for X was about the same from what I recall, heavy on the new album. Allen was awesome!!!
Epica was the better of the two in my opinion as far as overall execution.
Thought X was sloppy on the older material.
Hate IE....was in the bar for the set.
Crowd was excellent!!!
Probable twice that of the Blind Guardian show and more energetic.
The venue....is what it is, nothing exceptional, but not the worst I have been to over the years....certainly not near the best either...grateful they bring the shows they do.
This was my second trip and certainly have confirmed that the sound system has issues with high mids and highs and not so sure I would attribute that solely to the venue itself.
Definitely better sound at many other Carolina clubs.
Also do not understand why they do not lengthen the stage to the right (as viewing)...would help to enlarge the stage length wise, increase stage front area.
Sad to hear Jaxx had so few people at the show....though not really a Jaxx fan from a fans perspective, though many respects for the job they have done through the years.
