Actually, it's worth noting that I only saw two or three Opeth shirts and no Ghost shirts. :P

The crowd was super diverse. There were from people from all over the USA, including some people who were going to each of the seven shows or whatever. OUTSIDE of the USA, I met:

Some people from Montreal
A guy who flew from Toronto by himself
Someone from Purteo Rico (probably misspelled that, ah well)
A huge group of like ten or so people who all came from Germany together in one big group
Some Asians who were speaking, what I think was, Japanese - I don't know if they came from Japan or if they were just locals who preferred speaking Jap though.
A couple from Italy
A small group of Australians (or i'm assuming so, since they were waving an Australian flag around)

Amazing show. If it weren't for the lack of AC and the fact security/the bar weren't handing out water, it would've been ten times crazier because the crowd wouldn't have been dying from dehydration.

It's particularly worth noting that during The Philosopher, the crowd sang the chorus so loudly that I couldn't even hear the vocalist on stage.

And I wanted to cry during Voice of the Soul.

And Gorguts themselves were amazing as well - their vocalist/guitarist/only consistent member has to be the nicest and most sincere frontman in a metal band ever, the only metal musician I can think of who i've ever felt was THAT nice and truly thankful for the fans was Mark Jansen(Epica, MaYan, ex-After Forever) who was an amazingly nice dude even if his bands aren't my thing.

Also,

And finally, it's worth noting, that if you look at their FB page or any youtube comments of any of the DtA shows, there is not a single person who didn't have a super positive thing to say. Everyone who went had an amazing time, and some old guy in a Bolt Thrower shirt at the end of the show said that this show was way better than all three times he saw Death in the 90's.

So, awesome shit is awesome.

Also, for any of you Cynic fans out there, it's fucking STRANGE seeing Paul running around and bouncing around stage - so different from his stage presence with Cynic.

Oh yeah, and before I forget, there was guest appearances from Richard Christie, Alex from Testament and the vocalist/guitarist of some Albany-based Death tribute band. Coolshit.
