well for me the show got off to a bad start because i got kind of lost trying to find the place. it was at a club called the pearl room in mokena IL. a really really tiny intamite venue. there were maybe 600 people there. i called the place that morning to ask what time they thought SX would take the stage and the guy told me 10. so after getting lost i didn't get there until 9:20, but they started at 9, so i missed the first 2 songs. after that they played mostly stuff off PL and Odyssey with smoke and mirrors and a few others thrown in. I have to say after seeing dream theater and SX, i enjoyed seeing SX better because they are human. not machines playing their songs. Romeo really improvises a lot, and well, and he is a big fat, jolly man who shreds. Russell has an amazing voice, and it is even better live. overall it was a great show but they played nothing off of V, which was a little dissapointing. the other SX post pretty much covers everything
