Same here, but didn't remember every song. Was it the same as previous shows? If not, can you post it? Thanks.

Unfortunately, the lighting was very dark for the most part. Quite difficult to get quality, clear shots w/o flash (not allowed). Had to jack up the ISO leading to graininess. But I think I got some half-way decent ones. Unfortunately, not of Jörg which I need for a magazine article. Hopefully there will be better lighting at the next show I'm attending.
So here's a couple. More can be found here.

It was pretty close to the setlist listed here.

I think there were a couple songs from that list that they didnt have time to play possibly because of a mentioned curfew.

I would guess that they probably had to stop playing by midnight. They played from about 10:15 till midnight.

Pagan's Mind was pretty good I thought. They seemed to be having fun too so that helped. The bassist had the biggest perma grin I've seen in a while.

What time did the doors open? If they didn't start until 10:15, that's either a long Pagan's Mind setlist, or a late start.

That linked setlist is from the Japan leg of the tour but it is almost exactly the list played last night in NYC minus the song only to be played in Japan and maybe two others due to time restrictions. I really would have liked to hear "Higher we Go".

Doors openened at 7. There was a band there that came on around 8:00 and played 4 or 5 songs before Pagan's Mind came on. I dont recall their name and I was pounding drinks so I missed alot of it.

AMAZING show!!! I just got back from NYC today and am still in awe over what an experience it was. The meet and greet was really cool also. I've done a few with other bands and this one was one of the best experiences so far. I would have liked to have seen them do more Polaris material, but it was a good mix.

Also, a big thumbs up to Mathias and Lauri. I was blown away by how good they were. They both have some big shoes to fill, but I think they are the right guys for the job.
