Avenged Sevenfold kick off their North American tour with a setlist full of surprises
From live debuts to the first performance of City Of Evil’s Blinded In Chains since 2006, Avenged Sevenfold completely mixed up the setlist for the spring leg of their Life Is But A Dream… tour.
Last night (March 6), Avenged Sevenfold kicked off the third leg of their Life Is But A Dream… tour in North America.
The Huntington Beach heroes are back out on the road again in support of last year’s incredible album of the same name, hitting the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York with support from Poppy and Sullivan King.
And they changed things up from the previous tours on this album cycle, with a couple of live debuts and throwbacks to some old favourites, included Blinded In Chains for the first time since 2006 and Save Me for the first time since 2011 (both were also played for the first time with drummer Brooks Wackerman).
Elsewhere, in terms of more recent bangers A7X dusted off Shepherd Of Fire for the first time since 2018, and they gave Roman Sky its first airing in public – having previously only played it live at the The GRAMMY Museum in 2017. They also ended with Cosmic, with lots of fans having been desperate to hear that LIBAD… track in particular.
