Btw, nice collection of Maiden stuffI myself have Smiths guitar pick
The wristband and pick were from the best night ever, front row at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC. Dave was such a cool guy and even better player.

Soilwork-Dark Tranquillity Show
Niklas - correct me if I'm wrong - but I was sure you guys played "One Thought" during your set.
Tony
comeback soon! - you guys could have probably sold out two shows! (show was sold out almost two months in advance)

Montreal show was fuckin' kick ass....the crowd sang like 2 complete 'leads on Punish My Heaven. Other highlights were Wonders At Your Feet...crowd clapping hands during Nicklas' solo...songs from Character sounded really great live I agree! Almost caught Mickael at the very end of Soilwork's set..but he disapeared in the crowd hehe. I'm never really lucky with this kind of thing.... haha
Like some of you said, nobody seems to had energy left for Soilwork. I had heard that their drummer replaced their previous, Henry Ranta very well. But I don't really agree. He was a little hyper-active...sometimes loosing the flow...feeling of the song. But he could play fast for sure...but I don't know... The fact that his sound was so much louder than everyone eles...didn't help either.
Horgh was the shit in Hypocrisy though.
A few people seemed to have recognized him when he came on stage...yelling HORGH! HORGH! HORGH! hehe. It's been my fourth time seeing Hypocrisy...and Peter's voice always surprises me live. Always sounds so killer.
Anyway...hope to hear news about a 'headlining tour in North America real soon...

hello there
I was in Montreal too... it was amazing... I didn't know Hipocrisy at the time, I'll surely get some now though, was pretty good ... and Horgh.. I didn't shout 'HORGH! HORGH!..' with those guys.. but I knew it was him. He kicked ass A LOT of people left after Dark Tranquillity... including me.. I didn't know what Soilwork sounded like.. we stayed for 3 songs, then we just left. And we saw a lot of other people who just had left... DT > Soilwork

Well due to excessive use of smoke machines during most songs/sets, a lot of photos are faded and not great looking, here's a few of the good ones...this show was one of the best I have ever seen, every band fucking could headline a tour, every band blew the shit outta the place during their sets, clearly the best montreal show I've ever seen, interviewed Mikael from DT and he's a really nice guy, fucking incredible I'll let you know when that intie is transcribed for the metal observer. Got all my stuff signed (missing soilworks other guitarist and dark tranquilities guitarist who's not niklas, and the drummer, but I did get like 10 booklets signed by 4 people so I was happy). Mnemic were great too, I used my limited danish to says thanks for coming to canada and they lit up and I explained I was half danish we had a conversation going for a while about denmark and how nice it is there and everything, they all wrote stuff in danish on my CD booklets. All class acts
It was an amazing set by Dark Tranquility, I was only disappointed there was no monochromatic stains but apparently we got some stuff other cities didn't so it's all good and yes, they will be back headlining NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!
here's some pics of them

The show in Montreal was so amazing yesterday.. everyone singing along punish my heaven.. everything was perfect, except they weren't headlining. I've rarely seen a show with such a nice response from the crowd, I guess we had waited too much for this show. Was it the 1st time they came to Mtl ? cause as far as I know they never did.
Anyway, Mikael said they'd come back... headlining I hope... and yes Dt>Soilwork and it looked like that yesterday although I havent seen the whole Sw show. Hyporcrisy were also great.
A fucking good show.

omg man, i just came back from the DT/soilwork concert in Toronto.
First off, i have a question which demands an answer... Why is Dark Tranquillity opening for Soilwork?!?!?!?!? and why was their set so short?!?!?!?!
i think that really dissapointed me. I know Soilwork is big enough to headline, but still its not fair. If anything, they shoulda omited the first 2 bands, and let both DT and Soilwork play for 80 mins each...
well anyways, enough with the venting... on with the review.
All I can say is WOW. I was really touched by DT, their stage presence, sound and performance was just so powerful. I was left speechless. Instead of going crazy screaming along with the songs, i found myself just staring in awe. My discribed it perfecly when he said it was just sureal. Highlights were my favourite songs New build, Monochromatic Stains and Final resistance.
Next time they come, they BETTER be the main band performing. It was their first time in Toronto and i think WE gave them an amazing feedback so im sure they will come back.
Thank you Dark Tranquillity for such an amazing, though short (about half an hour) show full of Energy, Soul, and amazing musicianship. This night will be remembered forever.

Since I wasn't able to get any DT performance fotos when they came through here last month I've decided to scan the signed Character CD cover, which needs 4 more signatures, and the TicketMaster envelope with the setlist. Sorry about the poor penmanship on the setlist. That's my drunk-and-in-a-dark-club scribble.

Hi everyone.
Here's my review about MONTREAL show ont last june 4. Powerful, brilliant and crushing. The crowd was jumping from the 1st song (Treason Wall) to the last, hands in the air, singing and trashing. Everytime one of the musicians asked to scream along, the crowd instantly replied... just fantastic for this 1st canadian coming. Even if montrealers knew the old songs (Punish my heaven was exceptional...), the new Character songs were just as well appreciated.
For my opinion, this performance and "crowd presence" was far better than any on the Live Damage dvd. Moreover, Dark Tranquillity was THE headlining band of the night, carrying more crowd in energy and screams, than Soilwork... (sad but true : it's about experience, how you manage both stage and crowd).
For any francophone : j'espère simplement que le band reviendra sous peu. DT mériterait un show complet de plus d'une heure. En y ajoutant un groupe local ou un autre groupe majeur européen, ce serait de nouveau un succès.
