Which version is this? I bought the deluxe version wit the bonus tracks, but it doesn't have a lithograph? Are you talking the set that has the vinyl?
Yeah, the vinyl one. Great deal!

They haven't so far, which defies reason.

Well that's too bad. I just actually looked at the set-list and that's really too bad. They aren't playing much of the new album at all really...

I was a bit bummed, but what they did play off the new album kicked ass.

Really weird. That song would surely be a monster live (or a Zombie, if you will).

Not playing Zombie Queen live? That song seems like it'd be a monster live. Odd choice there.

Just came here to say that. Really haven't listened to the last part of the album thoroughly until today. What an awesome album.

The videos I've seen of them playing it, the outro seems really powerful and then when the choir kicks in. Just seems great. Can't wait to see them on Saturday.

For those that went, what's the crowd like? I guess I just don't know what to expect.

For us Monstrous Clock was fantastic.  The crowd was real into it, some shouting Hail Satan....made the experience more better.

Ghost was excellent last night. They are so tight as a band that the show never really misses a step. It was a lot of fun.

Ides of Gemini did not get a good reception at all though. I didn't really like them either.

Ides of Gemini were pretty great I thought. Though I like that doom, depressed sound they had. They were well received in Seattle it felt.
I felt its length in quite a few places.

Ides of March were pretty boring.  The vocalist had a one octave range.

When I saw Ghost last year, the opening bands were so much better.  Ancient VVisdom was the first one and they were slow and doomy...kinda boring but still unique enough to get into for the opening-opening band.

Then Blood Ceremony was next and man they killed!

Anyway, I gotta say that it was my first concert in Minnesota and I guess I've been spoiled being in Chicago and Milwaukee.  Those crowds are insane.  MN was kinda relaxed.  Still a great show and pretty decent venue.

That was my first time at Mill City. It was better than I was expecting. I prefer the relax MN crowd.  :lol I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm happy with what I got

When I saw Enslaved, Royal Thunder, and Pallbearer at Mill City, I liked it a lot too. Station 4 is full of fond memories and nostalgia, but it was nice not having steam rise from my sweat drenched body, and it was nice having a coat check, so I didn't have to freeze my ass off walking back to the parking garage. A pretty good venue overall.

Compared to The Brick (what it used to be) and then the Christian-Rock Club and then Prince's Night Club The Qwest, yeah. Mill City is pretty great

Toronto show tonight! Second time seeing then, but when they opened for Opeth and Mastodon the venue was seated and I was at a distance. This should be awesome!

Why did they change their name?

There apparently was a band named Ghost that never really went anywhere, but had rights to the name (at least in North America)...so they're Ghost BC in NA, and just Ghost everywhere else.

What a great show! I can't get over how perfect and not excessively loud the sound was. I went in with earplugs, and used them for Ides of Gemini(whom I wasn't overly fond of) but took them out for Ghost, and my ears aren't even ringing.

I took some pictures. These are a few that I think turned out the best!https://imgur.com/a/T1QAp

I have more pictures if anyone is interested in seeing more.

Edit: Wanted to add that their Lead Guitarist Ghoul is fantastic. Spot on for the whole show.

There are 5 shirts (one with the new album cover, an old one with new colours, one with the members of the band on the front, and 2 others(they all had the dates on the back)) a hoodie, cds, a ghost rosary, wrist band, stickers, buttons. I think that's it.

Finally bought the new album.

I'm sad they didn't play Ghuleh/Zombie Queen, its a really great song. Hell this whole album is good.

Last night in Philly was awesome, and they finally played Guleh/Zombie Queen  :metal
met papa before the show out of costume, was a nice guy.  you'd think they wouldnt draw attention to the fact that theyre the band, but he approached me and another guy and shook our hands, though he pretended he wasnt papa  :P
