The band is out promoting their latest disc The Atlantic so it only stands to reason that they would start the show with “A Silent Arc” and “Weightless,” the first two tracks off the album. Right from the beginning, the band commanded the stage like the season veterans they are, and the crowd was with them all the way. Even though the record is fairly new, everyone in the crowd (including me) were singing along. Quickly after the one-two punch from The Atlantic, the guys went back to the previous record with “Distance” and “Passing Through.” The latter should have been a huge hit all over the world as it is rock radio ready. The rest of the set consisted of material from the last four records with “Leave It Behind Us” the only track performed off their great album Glorious Collision. I was happy that they included a lot from Hymns For The Broken as that was my 2014 Album of the Year. In fact, that album got the most showcasing as they performed “The Fire,” “Black Undertow,” “The Grand Collapse” and final encore “King Of Errors.”
