Much as I enjoyed seeing Sabaton live, they're not the band that spring to mind as one I'd want to buy a live album from.
 
TAOW is definitely my most favorite album by them and I think Panzerkampf is my favorite on that so that could qualify.

Oh, they'll be playing Rock On The Range: http://www.wolverinekills.com/2015/04/09/rock-on-the-range-2015-daily-line-ups-officially-revealed/ It will be interesting to see what all the nu-metal fans think of them.

Also, ex-members of Sabaton are in another band called Civil War: http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/civil-war-featuring-ex-sabaton-members-bay-of-pigs-video-released/ I sort of see it as ripping of Sabaton's war concept and not being very original

Civil War is a fine band, I like their vocalist a lot. That song is cool. And they don't sound that much like Sabaton, vocals make the main difference in atmosphere.
 
First setlist from first U.S. gig...

1. Ghost Division
2. To Hell and Back
3. Carolus Rex
4. 40:1
5. Resist and Bite
6. Swedish Pagans
7. Night Witches
8. Primo Victoria
9. Metal Crue

Basically the same exact show they did last year with both Iced Earth and Amon Amarth. This is a little upsetting and I fear that repeat fans will be kind of annoyed. They even did the little kid/sunglasses thing before Metal Crue...

And while we're on the subject: PLEASE STOP CLOSING WITH METAL CRUE. I get that maybe that would have been cool for an Amon Amarth show, and possibly for Iced Earth, but Nightwish is not a "METAL\m/" band, so I don't get the logic of closing with that song.

Oh well, ANY Sabaton is better than no Sabaton.
 
I can't decide if I find Civil War kinda fun or too cheesy for words...particularly the vocals/vocalist. Must investigate further
 
The set looks way better than the first night! They swapped 40:1 with Soldier of 3 Armies (!!!) and added Uprising! I hope to high hell that I get that extended setlist in SLC. Looks like Delain got an extra song, too.
