I don't have the slightest idea.

Epica Same set as Philadelphia, except some songs being moved. Still no sign of Blank Infinity.

Resign to Surrender (A New Age Dawns, Part IV)
Sensorium
Unleashed
Martyr of the Free Word
Seif al Din (The Embrace That Smothers, Part VI)
The Imperial March
Quietus
Tides of Time

pretty cool. Looks like I'm not going, just too far a drive from where I'm at... it'd cost more in gas to get there than tickets would... ah well, glad to hear it was a good show.

Thanks for sharing! Nice to see Cry for the Moon in the encore, where it belongs

still waiting for Feb. 19th when they come to my town.

Wasn't Burn To A Cinder in the European sets they we're doing? I think that song would rock really good live. It should be added back in. They're still putting some solid sets together regaurdless.

A question for anyone who's seen them so far this tour. How many people are showing up for the shows? I've never seen them live and they aren't playing in my area at all so I was just curious.

Absolutely amazing show. I was NOT expecting it to be as packed as it was. So glad they're getting recognition.

@Sanitarium78: The venues in NYC, Montreal, and Worcester sold out -- I don't know what the max. capacities for each are, but I'm guessing quite a few people showed up, considering they barely drew 100-200 people per city on their last headlining tour.

Yeah, Worcester was PACKED. I was surprised, I showed up 20 minutes after doors had opened and there was already barely any room on the floor. So, naturally, I ended up somehow getting through the crowd and being front and center.

I'm glad they're getting recognition as well. I was so surprised at the amount of people that were there.

And, @Sanitarium78 - Yeah, I think Burn to a Cinder was on their European sets. It would be really cool live, but I like this list perfectly fine. Hope they come back soon.

The venue in VA was saying that there were less than 100 tickets left a few days before the show, so I guess the turnout was quite good.

I wound up being front row on Isaac's side. I had a friend who was coming along who said she didn't want to see the openers, so I said, "Well, you can probably show up after Threat Signal and grab a nice spot on the railing." Which... turned out not to be the case. Whoops.

I also ran into Mark a few times after the show, and although he didn't give any specifics, he said that they'd be back.
