So, last night was the second night in a row for me to see Dark Tranquillity and the Pink-Floyd-of-death-metal, Opeth. Dark Tranquillity didn't change their set much. They dropped Damage Done and instead they played one of my favorite songs, Indifferent Suns. Opeth's setlist was pretty much the same but they played The Drapery Falls instead of Leper Affinity. So, in two night's, they played my two favorite songs of theirs. Well, all of their songs are amazing, but those are my personal faves.
On the way out, I almsot shat myself as I spotted Niklas Sundin and Anders Jivarp. Niklas plays guitar for Dark Tranquillity and Anders is the drummer. They were really nice and I was even able to get my picture taken with them. Woot. That made my night but now I'm hoarse and my neck is hurting from the headbanging.
