Great show, despite a 20 minute delay while troubleshooting one of the lighting rigs. Apparently one of the color sequence bars wasn't working, so eventually they decided just to turn it off. We didn't miss it one bit.
I was hoping for an online set list to be available, but I couldn't find it. If any one does find one for Sunday Dec. 7th @ 3pm, please let me know. One part in the 2nd set that I truly enjoyed was a 2-song tribute to the late Criss Oliva from TSO's roots, the band Savatage. In 1993 a drunk driver hit Criss' car head on as he and his wife were traveling to a festival. The first song was a longer adaptation of Prelude to Madness, which blew my mind and apparently a few older folks' ear drums. The second was Believe, which sent chills up my spine. Criss was an amazing guitarist and a gifted composer.
Some pictures from my camera phone follow. I wish I'd brought a better camera or a movie camera. The stills don't do the lighting justice, as the lights were always changing and in constant motion (even the lighting rigs were constantly moving, as you'll see in the pictures).

Can't agree more, I saw the late show and it was spectacular. This was the 3rd show I've seen and I'm still not tired of TSO yet!
I also wasted no time in downloading Savatage's "Believe" from iTunes after the show.
