Sound: It was one of the concerts I was counting the days to see. I was so looking foward to it I even I had a really bad cold but I was there. The first band was as I lay bleeding they where ok. There sound was ok, not amazing, but you could hear what they were playing. They played a set of 10 songs. Then at 8:45 in the evening Avenged Sevenfold came out we had to wait a whole hour after the opening band for Avenged Sevenfold but it was worth it. They had no amps on stage just the drum kit and a huge stack of speakers but there sound was awesome I could hear every guitar lick and solo. M. Shadows vocals sounded awesome, they were so good even when they did Pantera's Walk he sounded really good. // 9

Perfomance: I really enjoyed them, they played a bunch of songs some from the old CD and then some from the new. They did a cover of walk by Pantera and that was realy awesome, the solo sounded just like Dimebag Darrel's not as good as his. When the opening to Unholy Confessions started the crowed went wild it was there best song the played that night. The lighting was really good because for every bit in each song the lighting design would change it was really good. It was just dissapointing that the opening band played as much songs as Avenged Sevenfold did.

Impression: It was there tour in Australia and played at the Tivoli in Brisbane the show started at 6 but the opening band only came on at about 7 though and Avenged Sevenfold came on at 8:45 it was a long wait but worth it. The tickets cost me 50 aus dollars but it was worth it and I would go and watch them again and again they where amazing. // 10

Looks like SOMEONES a fanboy :P Did they play sidewinder?

[Fredskis]

Unfortunately no, they didn't play Sidewinder
Greatest night ever! I was at the front snapping pics and videos. Got videos of the Bat Country duet and of Syn's improvision solo. What can I say, awesome band, awesome performance. Too bad for the long wait beforehand when the barrier in front of me got loose and we all had to move back to let them fix it
