I agree with you about Nevermore being one of the best around, but I expect
a better show when they go out headlining for EOR in a while.  I'd wait for
that show if I was you.

I think they played 3 of those (EOR, NO, and IV).  The other two were
Ambivalent and damn, can't remember that other tune -- might have just been
4 tunes from EOR.

Greg kind of commented on their lack of energy as well, and he's a super
fan.

Skip this one and wait for the supposed Nevermore headline tour.
