First post here for me -- would have been sooner, but I had to wait for mod approval...

Great show by all 4 bands! I was not familiar with Absence, but I really enjoyed them, and they seemed to be having a good time. Powerglove are great musicians, but not really my thing, so.... Sabaton were really good, and like most of the other shows on this tour, a good majority of the crowd were there to see them, then left.

Evergrey were amazing!! I may be somewhat biased, though, as they are one of my favorite bands, and I was really excited to finally be able to see them live. For whatever reason, everything at this show got off to a late start, so they didn't even come on until about 10:45. As a result, they cut the set short by 3 or 4 songs, which was kind of a bummer, but they sounded so good that I'm not going to complain.

Not much else to tell that hasn't already been said, so, until next time....

Welcome!

I like your taste in musical already. I just saw this show on Tuesday. It was awesome.

... majority of the crowd? like how big was the turnout?

I'm not a big Evergrey fan (and am a big Sabaton fan), and am wondering the (rough) amount of people there

I can speak for St. Paul. The place was backed for Sabaton, then 90% left after their set.

I'd say there were about 175-200 people there at the start. At least half of those people left before Evergrey even came on. By the time their set was over at 12:15, there were about 50 of us left. Very sad...

I thought you were taken

Actually I'm not one to talk, after seeing Cage tonight. I could be in the near future as well.

Awww, so sweet, but I think my husband may have some objections!!


On a slightly different subject, who here still has an Evergrey show to attend? I really wanted some of the stickers they were selling at the merch table, but I didn't get any. I thought I could just order some off the website, but they're not up there. I would gladly send some cash and a SASE to anyone willing to pick me up 5 stickers and drop them in the mail.

Yeah, it's true, I am taken... but my girlfriend doesn't love Evergrey!
