My apologies, for my poor english.
So, if you let me, I will write somethig about the GIG in Czech Republic - Vizovice, which was 3rd July 2004.
First I'd like to say, that I'm new to Stratovarius. I know this band for only few months, and I go totally crazy about they music. So when I discovered what is going on within the band, I decided that I want to see Statovarius live at least once. (before I walked into metal music, i was a big fan of Queen, but unfortunetly Freddie Mercury died before I was grown up enough to go to the concert. So perspective of being again a fan of group, which i never heard alive and don't exist anymore - was not too fun for me)
Closest Gig to my home (South-east Poland), was planned in Vizovice. I don't want to borrow You how Did I get there, let me get straight to the festival.
I'd like to mention, that Stratovarius had really tough thing to do, because Europe, which played before them, set the crossbar very high. (yes, yes, Europe is back on stage, and where could they make they first shows, if it wont be the middle of Europe?) I think they made the jump at least twice as high as Europe. If someone is intrestet with that, here is the setlist:
I walk to my own song
Speed of light
Hunting high and low
Forever Free
Eternity
Phoenix
Forever (acoustic version)
Kiss Of Judas
Father Time
Regin Of Terror
Destiny
Black Diamonds
Hope didn't mess that one up. My favourite part of the show? I think Hunting high and low. I will risk a thought, It could be even a lot better than the live version on Intermission, if it was recorded live. I'm really glad that I was there. I'm only courious why there was lack of song from Episodes albums. Anyway really great show, and I wont be surprised if they continue Stratovarius. It didn't look like it was one of the last shows. It was very powerfull, instead of a sad goodbye. I only seen a sad look of Timo Tolkki, when he walked away last. It looked like he want to see the Stratovarius audience for the last time. Or maybe I'm wrong. I'm am not a fairy:)
p.s. Hey i didn't understand for who was song Forever dedicated, if someone remeber, please reply.
p.s.2 Thanks guys for autographs> Hey Jens, you made strange look for my Elements Pt.2 Limited Edition Booklet, you have seen it for the first Time? Just Kidding.
Pozdrowienia!! (greetings)
