Thanks for posting the set, I've been curious to see how their set compared to the European tour. I'm glad they scratched out Lost In Cold Dreams for Lamento. A much better song. I hope to make it to the NYC show this Tuesday.

Rhapsody had no merch? wtf?

Cool report- how did they sound? Missed this one :/

[BlashyrkhMR101]

They sounded pretty good but some of the lead guitar parts were a bit awkward, land of immortals for example sounded really weak at first. I'd still recommend going to anyone who could. Fabio Lione has such a great stage presence, and the bass and drum solos were really good.

[The Ghost at Number One]

Do they never play Lord of the Thunder?

Do they never play Lord of the Thunder?

Apparently not, which is a shame because it's one of my favorite tracks by them. At least they played Land of Immortals and didn't totally blow off the first album.
