Not expecting many (any) responses but wondered if anyone else is going to see them on Saturday at Wembley?

Been recapping all the albums over the last few weeks I am very, very excited!

Chris.

I saw them last night in Glasgow.

Truly amazing setlist played. Couldnt believe it when they played Hollow Years, Solitary Shell and Take the Time.
was great!

Really enjoyed the gig. It is a shame that the set is a lot shorter now though due to all the support bands.

It was always good hearing the new album in full and then a selection of old tracks but there you go. At ours, they played The Mirror and Lie which I was more than pleased with!

First band were pants. Thankfully only 2 tracks. Second one was better (big elf), and then Opeth came on. I have only Blackwater Park which is absolutely incredible, but no others so I didnt know any of the tracks they played. They still put on a good show though!

I really liked Big Elf, having known nothing about them before hand.

Opeth played really well, but the setlist to me was more to cater towards a Dream Theater audience. Slightly dissapointing as Im more into Opeth than DT and was hoping for a heavier set (and a more enthusiastic crowd).

Saw them a couple of times a few years back. 6 Degrees tour, at the Astoria (02/03?). I seem to remember a huge set list - 1st half was a cover of Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast, 2nd half the whole of 6 Degrees, with the usual Pull Me Under etc encores.

Certainly got our money's worth that night! wink

Nicecuppa, on the T shirt I was wearing yesterday, it was the 26th of January 2002.
I was there too, standing on the right side with 7 foot giants blocking my view most of the time!
I had just started listening to the band, I think from Mike Portnoy's being involved with Neal Morse. I see that a new Transatantic c.d. is due out soon as well!
I have much older T shirts as well, so scruffy that I only wear them for decorating now!
