[IrritatedTrout]

I wish they would change up the whole D.N.R. / 3 Days in Darkness / Formation thing. There's a lot of other songs they could play, it seems like that's all they've ended their sets with for years.

[ravenheart]

Yeah, don't regret skipping this last week.

Yeah, they seem to be getting into a rut when it comes to what old songs they're playing. I'll still enjoy the show when I see them in feburary if this is the set though.

It's cool to see Alone In The Dark get played. I know they played all of The Legacy a couple years ago and that was great to see live, but it's kind of bothering me that Over The Wall is the only song that represents that album most of the time. It's a very good song but it's far from the best one. Burnt Offering's, Do Or Die, Alone In The Dark or Apacalyptic City would all be better choices.

What about giving The Preacher a rest and doing Erie Inhabitants or Trial By Fire for awhile instead? How about dropping 3 Days In Darkness and The Formation Of Damnation and playing Perilous Nation and Face In The Sky since those two haven't been done in forever. So Many Lies I think would be a nice addition to. Most of all though they are touring for an excellent new album, I would like to see them add one more song from it. A Day In The Death, Man Kills Mankind or Throne Of Thorns would be good.

I've been getting better at not over analyzing what a band does and doesn't play on here over the last year or so, because i've realized that complaining about what is and isn't played doesn't change anything. But Testament's unchanging setlist over the last few tours is really starting to baffle me quite a bit

[anomynous]

Low & Demonic need representation.




They usually play Electric Crown, so Ritual's already there.

[The Ghost at Number One]

I love Testament, and they definitely bring it live, but I agree about changing up the set, and I feel like they could even add at least two or three more songs. With a catalog such as theirs, it wouldn't hurt at all to lengthen the set a bit.

Testament played Trial by Fire at a show in Sweden in August. Plus they switched out Alone in the Dark for Souls of Black in St. Petersburg last night.

Alone in the Dark? Nice. Hopefully they leave that in for the US. Other then that, yeah, it is a predictable set. I want to hear The Legacy!
