Anyone know what time they hit the stage last night?
they went on around 8 and played for an hour.
the set and equipment switching was super fast.
My quick review of the May 22nd gig:
Three was killer. I absolutely loved the acoustic work. I'm definitely going to check out some of their albums.
Between the Buried and Me was boring overall. I couldn't really hear the lead singer's vocals, though I suppose some might consider that an improvement.
Opeth was phenomenal, as expected. Mike made a little mistake toward the end of "Demon of the Fall," but he cunningly played it off with a joke that mistakes make each performance "unique." The set list was as follows:
Demon of the Fall
The Baying of the Hounds
In My Time of Need
Wreath
Heir Apparent
The Drapery Falls
I didn't stick around for most of Dream Theater but they were spot-on, also as expected.
Despite all I had heard about the sound issues at Terminal 5, I'd say the acoustics were pretty great tonight, except I felt the vocals were a little weak in the mix for BTBAM and Opeth. Opeth was easily the best band of the night for me, but the bill was great overall. I'm glad I went.
Mike was funny as hell...Mike, I hope your fingers OK.He hurt it and kept saying it fucking hurts...
