Tonight

Well, i literally just got back from the In Flames gig at the manchester academy, thought id write this now before i forgot :D.
Anyway so we got there a little bit late and the first band "Sonic Syndicate", just walked on stage as we (me and two mates) walked in, so they are from Sweden (fom what i gathered) they were really good, lots of good riffs, but no solos unfortunately, i thought the fact that they have 2 vocalists that both do the same thing, is a little unnecessary but hey, only criticism is, a lot of the songs sounded very similar.
Next on, were Gojira, a french band, im a little hit and miss with these they played 6 or 7 songs, but only 2 or so sounded any good to me.
Then after an agonising half hour wait (not quite as bad as the several hours for Diru last november) In Flames arrived on stage. Good choice of intro song, The chosen pessimist, got everyone worked up. Then my mind goes a little fuzzy, i never remember the order of songs at concerts, but 4 or 5 from the new album such as Im the Highway, Delights and Angers, Move Through Me and Disconnected. But the best part was the fact that they whipped out a bunch of oldies that was absolutely brilliant, ones theyve hardly ever played live, for example, The Jester Race (even stuck the main riff of Behind Space in there), Dead god in me, pinball map, Insipid 2000, the main surprise was Satellites and Astronauts which i love. Then good ol' crowd pleasers, Come Clarity, Vanishing Light, Trigger, Cloud Connected, the Quiet Place and Take this Life. They were a lot better than i had ever hoped, they interacted and talked with the crowd a lot, played to the crowd too, my only criticism this time is that there was NO MOONSHIELD :(, theres always next time i suppose...
