I hope they keep playing Apocalyptic City, I have to hear that live. Nice to see their playing a different ballad this tour as well.

What kind of merch did they have at the show?

Well the first 5 songs (in order) were:

Over The Wall
Into The Pit
Apocalyptic City
Practice What You Preach
The New Order


Unfortunately I had to bail after that, as it was already after midnight and I had a 2 hour drive home and I had to wake up at 6:00am the next morning for work.

If someone could provide the complete setlist in order, I would appreciate it.

It sucks they seem to have dropped Demonic Refusal. They need to start playing Dog Faced Gods again! Did they do More Than Meets The Eye?

 

[TheGraveDigger]

Sounds awesome, I will be at BB Kings tonight!

 

[blind_cynic]

I'm gonna cream my paints during Apocalyptic City this Friday...that song is THE THRASH!

 

[MaidenUSA]

The setlist at the beginning of this post is incomplete: It was more like this:

Over The Wall
Into The Pit
Apocalyptic City
Practice What You Preach
New Order
Electric Crown
Low
Trail Of Tears - dedicated to all Longest Walk participants
Henchmen Ride
The Evil Has Landed
Souls Of Black
The Preacher
DNR
3 Days In Darkness
Alone In The Dark
Disciples Of The Watch

I'm pretty sure this was the order, but one or two might be out of order.
Electric Crown replacing Demonic Refusal was GREAT!!!!!!

 

[one man]

Wow EC is back! That's great for it's been one of the biggest killers in the setlist since the reunion. I think it could only be replaced with another song from The Ritual

 

[IntoPhagist]

They Played Electric Crown? Ya know something your right! hahaha I forgot..It was pretty good. I always hated that album though I got rid of it along time ago.

That sucks man the 2nd half of the show was more intense...The encore was HEAVY

Really? I found that after Trail of Tears things seemed to slow down a bit. The beginning of the set was intense through the first 4 or 5 songs, and Into the Pit was just insane, at least where I was standing. However, since Electric Crown was my favorite everything after that didn't seem as good (especially considering I didn't think they would play it). The songs off the Gathering were a little disappointing live, I thought the studio versions were better. Everything else was GREAT! Skolnick was amazing, one of the best performances I've ever seen.

Awesome show, the pit was kinda lame but Testament made up for it

 

[IntoPhagist]

Yes Alex was incredible.
