Stratovarius Community

From the new era:

Giants
Fireborn
The Game Never Ends
Nemesis (it has been perfomed already but not enough times)

And, of course, Elysium.

So a shower thought made me wonder what I could do with the 2014 reissue of 5.1 Elements. I managed to isolate the audio channels just to listen the songs in a different perspective. Especially Jari's bass is very audible now. Here are all I have isolated. Enjoy

Isolating one of the 5.1 mix channels, and raising up the volume for like a 500%

Hahah, thanks for the data. I truly am a newbie here.

A shower thought made me go diving into the 5.1 mix of the Elements 2014 reissue, with the intention of trying to get an instrumental only version of these songs. However, to my very surprise, after the end of A Drop in the Ocean (which has a very clean vocals only channel that I will upload later ...

Episode and Visions full albums, but they're live, their best performances (my pick)
The only two albums which all of their songs have been performed live. I wish more of their albums did!

How about some vintage Stratovarius live? Here's all the old songs that have been played live (or at least all that there is a recording available, no dreamspace tour bootlegs yet)

I compiled every New era song Live recordings in one video.
Only Feeding the Fire is missinng. I can't believe there's no recording of that song, It was performed only once!

Hi! This is odd. I wasn't in touch with this topic until a few weeks ago when a friend told me that a friend of Tolkki's brother got the Fourth Dimension Demos. Besides that, I didn't know they even existed! However, 3 days ago Tolkki posted in his facebook that he's got 7 Fourth Dimension demos and ...

I've found probably the only clean soundboard recording of Reign of Terror live! From Gates of Metal 2004

Mr. Behm just uploaded a full Tavastia 1992 show. Check it out! Content never seen before!

GUYS, Jari Behm himself posted a 1992 SHOW FULL FOOTAGE!
I've searched and searched and I can assure you I'd NEVER THOUGHT I'D LIVE TO SEE something like this.
There was no 1992 footage I've found at all, apart from Tullikamari!

And what's even better is that we finally have a digital version of Hallowed and Last Shore. The instrumental part that fades out at the end of Last Shore is one of my favourites on the New Era and with this quality you can appreciate even more the backing vocals while Kupiainen delivers that solo.

The Nemesis sound is back again. I didn't like the mix Eternal had because the vocals felt too off, too low (I even heard the chours higher than the main Kotipelto's vocals). Enigma, on the other hand, seems to have fixed this problem, and I feel it more powerful.

Having Last Shore and Hallowed finally on a digital quality makes me so happy. Those tracks were only included on vinyl. A couple of users have digitalized them but they were very loss. Now both have a proper official digital quality!

Oslam Phoenix is un-DMCA'd from Youtube, which means bootlegs are back up! He's really been going at it this time. Two particular additions of note are the last two shows with Timo Tolkki:
