Basically, I'm getting hyped
This is going to be my first time seeing them live.
I am so fucking pumped.

Imagine it if we could push that number into the triple digits.

That is all that needs to be said.
This being said, if the only thing I can fault them on is their stage show, they must be doing something right.
(Completely separate topic: When are the line-ups due out? )
Did they play Act 1, Act 2, or a mix of both instead of a full album?
I'm definitely getting the order wrong here, but here's what I remember of the PAX East lineup:
The Will of One
Vengeance
The Hounds
Father of Death
Breaking Out
Keep Quiet
Hope Rides Alone
Due Vendetta
It's the same lineup they've been playing at most of their live shows for the past couple years, with the exception that they usually also play a cover of some song from an '80s movie soundtrack for an encore, and they didn't do this at PAX East until their slot in Bandland the following day. The only time I've ever seen them play more songs than this was at the Act 2 release show in Nashville last year, when they played both albums in their entirety. At that time they were still having trouble with some of the Act 2 material, particularly "Light Up The Night"; but apparently they played that one during their PAX East Bandland slot. Someone who saw them perform at Bandland could tell you more about how comfortable they are with that song at this point.
I'm going to see them play in Atlanta on Thursday, and I'll post here to let you know if their lineup has changed at all. Hopefully they'll play Beard's Going Nowhere, their epic ballad about shaving. If they've ever played that one live, I'm sad that I missed it.
And it sounds like they might do Light up the Night after all.
Oh well, it's still gonna be great.
Yeah, I saw one of their live performances of "Light up the Night" on the youtubs, and uh... it wasn't very good.
It was pretty bad, in fact.
Sucks 'cause that's the song I want to hear most. Though there are a few others I like so it'll still be worth it.
Ah. Excellent. I'm wonder if it'll be safe to assume that Friday night will have the same schedule as East.
Thanks!
Friday:
The Protomen, Anamanaguchi, MC Frontalot, The Minibosses
Saturday:
Metroid Metal, Paul & Storm, Jonathan Coulton

....and oh yeah, I'm fucking playing the same show as them /shamelsssselfpromotiondue toraucousexcitement
In all seriousness, those of you who have not heard of the Protomen, need to fix that. At least go to their show at PAX and figure out then if you like them or not.
NEW ALBUM OUT, NOW WITH 100% MORE SHEEP!, have a listen will ya
I'd love it if my staff and I were not asked this 10,000 times.
The only sure way to get a wristband is to be toward the beginning of the entrance lines (in the Queue Room and at Benaroya) in the mornings. The wristbands will be split evenly between the two lines i.e. the first 1000 people in each line will get one).

PAX will always be held on the best weekend for PAX. Sometimes that will be a bad weekend for you; I'm sorry.

The only official word that I know of is that The Protomen are playing Friday night.
If I recall correctly, it is actually a return to tradition.
Tradition from before my time, then. 08, 09, and 10E Front was on Friday.
Yep, I'm referring to when PAX was back in Bellevue. :lol:
You want to talk about a PAX concert that rocked, you don't even know.
Also to all you kiddies who hate freezepop and who have never actually played an atari 2600 (the PAX classic console room does not count) -- Underage b&s all around!
Way to contribute in a constructive way to the community, guy.
It'll be interesting to see if I get any replies, although obviously it wouldn't be the end of the world. But hey, how cool would that be eh?
Speaking of music, it seems a lot of PAX-goers are pretty talented. (Considering how many in the other post reference playing oboe and bassoon??) Anybody else have crazy PAX dreams? The first time, I didn't even have a "band", (so I got to play with all the Harmonix people, who 5 starred everything. It was so cool I dreamed about it for weeks!)
Here's the demo I sent him if anybody's curious, it's totally untouched, but it's fine if you don't too...
...'cause I'll probably see you (and you know who you are) in the line for Rock Band this year!

that or sing an opening song for Paul and Storm (like an intro song), then leave the stage and crash on beanbags up front.
a man can dream can't he?
