I recently attended the Welcome To The Family Tour featuring Avenged Sevenfold, Three Days Grace, and Sevendust. A7X brought out the bag of tricks and 3DG didn't have to sing a single word of any of their songs (they get quite a bit of airplay and the audience was rather familiar with their lyrical content) and then there was 7Dust. They were absolutely incredible. Cold Day Memory is an outstanding album and the 8 albums and 10 plus years of experience definitely showed in their performance. They have had a successful career but they have a timeless aspect to their sound and identity that puts them well above many bands that have had more "success." 3DG definitely should have opened, out of respect for a band that is stronger live, and still relevant. 7Dust was as entertaining and epic as A7X without the pyro, elaborate staging, and arena rock cliches.
