I really like the new tune, those verses are quite interesting.
Last night's show WAS awesome, as noted by Floor, Joakim, and Stu. The venue was smaller than the House of Blues in Chicago, less crowded, but much more tightly packed due to the poor layout. I'm sure you've all seen similar venues: no sloped floor, one long, narrow room with low ceilings and a bar at the back. Of course, this poor design made the energy incredible.
It was very interesting to see the same tour 3 weeks later in a different state. ReVamp's set got one song shorter, Sabaton's got two songs longer (!!!), and Iced Earth seemed to be having way more fun. Unfortunately, they dropped The End? (one of the only decent tunes off the new album) and A Question of Heaven from the setlist. AQOH was replaced by the abysmal Boiling Point. Hardly a fair trade.
As for Sab, amazing show. The guys literally did not stop smiling or goofing off the whole time. It was very obvious that the crowd was feeding them tons of energy. After the third song, a loud "SABATON!" chant went on for so long that Joakim had to order us, "Silence! Or I kill you!" He later brought a young boy on stage, gave him his sunglasses, and let him rock out during the final song.
The show was all the better simply because it was free! Thanks again for that, folks

Especially with that many tracks.... it's not that I think short songs are bad, but there just shouldn't be THAT many
