Just saw the NYC show last night...here's the rundown:
1). Russell gets better each time I see him. Sung his face off last night, absolutely mindblowing.
2). These shows need to become 21+ to get rid of all the morons moshing to every single song. I know there are normal under-21 people on this forum, and I apologize to 'em, but EVERYONE who was doing that stupid crap last night was a teenager. I'm 24, it's not that I'm old...but I came to see some amazing musicianship, not have to worry about being clocked in the back of the head while I'm turned towards the stage. You can tell that the people there don't know the songs or even care about what band's playing. They just came there to beat people up and run into each other, and pretty much ignored the band and the stage completely. There were people literally slamdancing last night and it was beyond pathetic. Take that shit to a Dropkick Murphy's concert and leave it there.
3). I honestly don't know why they play Paradise Lost (the song) live. It kills the momentum, and people just stand there nodding. The solo is killer but otherwise that song is probably the worst track off the album IMO. Eve of Seduction however absolutely slayed live. Great choice! There's nothin' wrong with a slow song, but how about Candlelight Fantasia? That's one of my favorite SX songs, and Russell once told me the reason they don't really play it live is because it kills the momentum...but now with PL being played that doesn't make much sense.
Overall, an amazing show as always. This was my 9th time seeing SX and it's always great.
