This is cool, but nowhere near the level I thought it'd reach. Aside from En Force, Child of Fire, and Prophecy, there's nothing very unusual about the set. I was hoping for a lot more from Rage, especially. Hopefully tonight's set is (was) much better.

You know Wrathchild is overplayed when it shows up at over band's shows. Really good set but no sanctuary, nightrider, and before the storm would have been great additions.

Really? People are complaining about this?

Seriously. That's a fucking brilliant setlist, and who really expected most of those songs would get played by (basically) Queensryche again? Here's hoping that 'Prophecy' will make its stay!

They did the same set on Saturday night. It sounded great - the vocals were stellar. Probably the best Queensryche vocals since I saw them on the Rage for Order tour.

How did the band sound? Did they seem rejuvenated in any way?

The band were fantastic, sounded great and totally into the show. Playing songs I've wanted to hear for 20+ years.

Sweet set,now hopefully a full tour and then into the studio with an old queensryche sound!!!

I know I'm late on this but holy shit. Still feel lucky that I got to hear En Force in 2005

But to see Warning and Roads to Madness would be amazing.
