Monday I saw Epica and Kamelot.
Let me tell you it was quite a show Epica played all my favorites
and Simone was well frickin hot. She's hot in the pictures but let me tell you that the pictures do not do her justice. I was also impressed by mark's vocals, they are very good live.
Epica played(1st 3 in order but not the rest): Hunab K'u, Dance of Fate, Sensorium, Façade of Reality, Solitary Ground, Seif Al din, Cry for The moon, Quietus, Consign to Oblivion, Crystal Mountain (Death cover)
Kamelot, was the main reason I was at this show and they didn't decieve me. Khan's voice sounded great although he seemed to force it quite a bit. Roy Kahn is one hell of a frontman too, he moves well on scene and knows how to get the crowd excited and moving. Same goes with Thomas who interacted quite a bit by playing solos very close to the crowd. They used the venue very well as the used two little balconies that where on each side of the stage to play Don't you cry "serenade" style. They played half of Don't you cry in english and the other half in french(Quebec is mainly a french province for those who don't know). That was a very memorable moment. Overall it was an aewsome show!
songs played(in order): When The Lights Are down, Soul Society, Edge of Paradise (with intro), Center of The Universe, The Spell, Abandoned, Moonlight, Forever, , The Haunting( WITH SIMONE!), Farewell, Karma, Don't You cry/ne pleure pas, March of Mephisto
I saw the exact same concert last year. Epica and Kamelot. And I would have to agree, Simone live is waaaaay hotter. I didn't know Epica at the time and they impessed me a lot. Kamelot were fine too, they're one of my favourite bands, but the Khan's mic sound suffered from low mixing at some points, and the crowd didn't react to them as much as with Epica.

) and "Land of Light" were the highlights.
