He played some awesome guitar magic. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joeyvera.com\" title=\"Joey Vera\" target=\"_blank\">Joey Vera<\/a> was a bass animal. Ray Alder&#8217;s vocals were drowned in the mix, but he gave a great performance, anyway. He&#8217;s no longer singing the high parts of some older songs, but manages to re-invent the melodies. Highlights of the show were the three songs off <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vampster.com\/artikel\/show\/?id=7032\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"my review of Parallels at Vampster.com\">Parallels<\/a> and the epic &#8220;Still Remains&#8221;. Especially the later one was breathtaking &#8211; progressive metal at its very best! Bobby threw in some double bass in &#8220;Point of View&#8221; and mastered the complex drum patterns without any visible effort. There were maybe 300 people, so it was a rather intimate show. The atmosphere was great and the chorus in &#8220;The Eleventh Hour&#8221; was stunning.
