Haha I remember seeing Powerglove's guitarist saying that might try to get him to do that on Facebook (I think a fan suggested it). Where did you see the video?

And I really, really, really, really, REALLY hope they don't do "The Odyssey" tonight. I'd much rather hear Evolution, Sea, and Inferno.

My personal guess is that they will swap out Eve of Seduction for either Evolution or Inferno. Maybe they'll switch Dehumanized for Prometheus. Also, it's possibly they'll play a little longer tonight - Philly had 3 opening bands, but NYC only has 2 as far as I know.

What is this, the Paradise Lost tour?!? Very disappointed...glad I passed on the show tonight. I've seen The Odyssey 2 or 3 times already. What happened to "more new tunes"?

I would hope so. I know those other songs are staples, but this will be my first time seeing them as a big fan. But then again, The Odyssey obviously isn't something they play on every tour, so I'll take it and love it regardless.

Also, to people who went to this show, what was the merch like? Anything with the Iconoclast art on it?

They were selling shirts with Iconoclast artwork on in Europe, so I'm guessing they'll have at least one shirt like that this time around.

Usually Symphony X basically does "housecleaning" on merchandise when they tour, and sell stuff from old tours at a discounted price. Hell, I got a "V" shirt in 2007 for like $10 or 15, it was nuts.

HERE is what they should actually be playing:

01 Evolution (The Grand Design)
02 Inferno
03 Sea of Lies
04 End of Innocence
05 Paradise Lost
06 Smoke and Mirrors
07 The Accolade
08 The Accolade II
09 Masquerade
10 Dehumanized
11 Set the World on Fire
Encore:
12 Out of the Ashes
13 Of Sins and Shadows

Is that SO hard?

This.
But if there is one song I would love to hear, it's "Dressed To Kill," even though they've never played it live, as far as I know.

They've definitely played Dressed to Kill live. In fact it used to be a "staple" of sorts on the first 2 tours. (Note: Symphony X didn't tour at all until Twilight in Olympus)
