Former musician, down on his luck sound tech, making Youtube video essay stuff probably forever now. Terminally distracted and way back into Magic: The Gathering... it's a problem.

Geeze, I need to see Between the Buried and Me again some day. Safety Fire and Periphery would be a crazy lineup for sure.

And the small (~200 person) room list:
AncIIents (twice)
Into Eternity (3 times, (opened for them once))
Electro Quarterstaff
Woods of Ypres (opened for them twice)
Stratovarius (somehow they wound up in a 200 person room in my city and it is still one of the most incredible shows I've ever seen)

I would have given a limb to be on the floor for SYL in my younger days. I only found out about DT in my older years.
I can attest though, he's a fun hang.

I am kinda curious to know if anyone else with a music background struggles with this, though. I'm always aiming for the "downbeat" and trying specifically not to be ahead of it.
