The Finnish broadcasting company YLE also has a concert from tavastia 1999 and Provinssirock 1999 in their archives, what about releasing those?

Milano / Sao Paulo
The new album in the making, so it would be a perfect thing to compile that much wished 'legendary line-up' dvd with a complete gig... More work, but as the fire is burning now...
'Infinite Visions' just isn't enough to stand as a final visual epitaph for that era i think.

Tolkki is most likely up there for these bands to warm himself up again for live action.. I'm sure RR will play song or 2 of Stratovarius when it comes to reality!

"The Land of Ice and Snow" is up there as one of the best songs of Stratovarius. Beautiful, mystical and even offensive track. A total classic for me.
