Gee, thanks for doubting me, guys.
Nah, I kid, that was a crazy setlist, I understand.
Crowd and band was on fire for this show. A few people, but not many, left after ZPZ. Still, this was definitely DT's night. Keys and vocals could have been louder and guitar a bit softer, but, other than that, the best DT show I've seen now. Stage setup was great. JR had a giant flat screen TV behind him, which sometimes showed the same thing that was on the megascreen. Hmm. JLB was only a little shaky vocally in the beginning, but he was ON after that.
Setlist, because I want to:
1. A Nightmare to Remember
2. Prophets of War (total shocker, but (@kevschmev), it DID work great live, but we had an energetic crowd as well)
~Keyboard Solo~ into. . .
3. Sacrificed Sons
4. Misunderstood (which they played last year at this same venue, so this was a shocker, but with the chaotic ending this time)
5. A Rite of Passage
6. The Dance of Eternity (I really don't know why I thought it was Overture 1928, maybe because I'msick
)
7. Take the Time (which missed the second verse, but the ending was a bit extended to "cap off the song," so I wouldn't say extended like "Hollow Years" extended.) Keytar on this for keyboard solo and unison

Encore: THE COUNT OF TUSCANYYYYYYYY
For Nihil-Morari: If I heard correctly, a couple of the songs for ZPZ were: Inca Roads, forgot the name now, but some song about Turkey farmers?, and a "blues song gone horribly wrong." That's all I can recall since I've never listened to ZPZ, but I will say that I was highly impressed with them!
Ahhhh.
