False Cognates

LIVE IN THE LBC & DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH

This DVD holds a full live show at the Long Beach Arena in California as well as a fair range of extras, such as backstage footage. The setlist was powerful. It starte with Critical Acclaim which is the perfect opener for a huge show like this. During the show we played our greatest hits, such as, Afterlife, Bat Country, Second Heartbeat, Almost Easy, Seize The Day and many many more, and we ended with the classic Unholy Confessions, before we came back running on the stage with a mind-blowing A Little Piece Of Heaven. There was also a lot of variation in the setlist. As most of you know, Avenged is a hard rock band, but we had a lot of variation in our setlist, we had rough songs, and at some points we slowed down with a beautiful Gunslinger and Seize the Day. One of the highlights was probably the fact that we played Walk by Pantera and actually had a member of the crowd sing it.
