Testament -- Cincinnati, OH -- May 18th, 2009

[gilpdawg]

Same setlist as they've been doing lately, but Sins of Omission was played in the Dog Faced Gods/Alone in the Dark spot.

Intro: For The Glory Of
01. The Preacher
02. Practice What You Preach
03. The New Order
04. Over The Wall
05. Do or Die
05. Sins of Omission
06. More Than Meets The Eye
07. The Persecuted Won't Forget
08. Demonic Refusal
09. True Believer
10. The Legacy
11. Into The Pit
12. Souls Of Black
13. Electric Crown
14. Disciples Of The Watch
15. D.N.R. (Do Not Resuscitate)
16. Three Days In Darkness
17. The Formation Of Damnation

Got there too late for Lazarus AD. Heard the last song and a half, they sounded pretty good. I'll probably check their record out. Not an Unearth fan, so just look at the other setlists for that, because I don't know if it's the same or not.

Lame turnout @Bogarts tonight. Very disappointed. If there was more than 400-500 people there I'd be surprised. I was hoping for about 1000. The venue holds 1500, IIRC. I'd bet they won't be back. Promoter probably took a bath. I hope not, because I want to see them again without driving 4 hours away.


Edited setlist to add Do or Die. I completely forgot that one. Now the numbers are fucked up.

WOW! Do or Die AND Sins of Omission instead of Alone in the Dark? Now we're talkin!!!

I'm still puzzled why no other setlist than setlist C but ticket sales have been down across the board. If they booked it as a "New Order" Tour I guarantee they would sell a few hunder more instantly.

They still haven't topped 500 tickets sold in Baltimore yet. They sold out Jaxx in Springfield, VA on consecutive nights a few years ago but interest has fallen off the charts since then. Sucks

[Derelict]

They would prob draw better if they could put out more than one album every seven years

If they booked it as a "The Formation of Damnation" tour they might sell a few hundred more instantly, considering it was pretty much the metal album of the year in 2008.

They are calling it Damnation Vacation, but they are only playing 3 songs off the album.

Awesome set! I love Do or Die and Sins of Omission, really cool to see those on there! Hope this Friday gives a good set like this one!

[BlackmoreOfBowling]

I don't get why people didn't vote for the "A" or "B" sets. Nothing wrong with getting a classic thrash metal album in its entirety in a live setting. It's not like these guys are Exodus, and the lead singer is going to scream the whole time.

First of all, the voting process got messed up, so they are apperently doing set C for the whole tour. And second of all, DON'T DISS FUCKING EXODUS. Seriously, they fucking dominate live.

I second that. Especially the latter.
