The Trail of Dead came out to rousing applause and did not disappoint. Their show was vastly superior to the night before. They were more comfortable with the surroundings and had the crowd on their side all the way. They didn't have to try to win anybody over, just do what they do.

The venue was better for their style of play too. There was no empty space between crowd and stage, so Jason and Conrad could get up close and personal. There were more architectural features to climb on too, which both took advantage of.

The set list was about the same, except they snuck in the fan favorite Richter Scale Madness. When Jason finally pushed the drums over, the crowd cheered so loud for so long that I almost thought they would come back out for an encore. It was not to be however. The crowd settled down when the roadies started packing up the Trail's equipment and setting up for the Queens.
