Imagine Holy Light, and the intro of Before The Winter... imagining to hear the first seconds of Kiss Of Judas in October gives me goosebumps already now

After everything was set up on stage the whole place went dark and they stopped the music from tape.
They made us wait for what feeled like forever (maybe 10-15 seconds?), and then the intro of Black Diamond started. They kept lights out till the rest of the band joined in, and then it all just exploded to a great show.
I don't know yet if I'll attend only the Turku show on that tour, but I know I'll see them in KarjuRock (www.karjurock.fi) next month. The mainevent of the festival is Helloweenmocobhc wrote:Memories that will always make you smile when thinking backTero-75 wrote:The Visions-tour back in -98 was the first time I saw the band live, and I still remember the beginning of the show.

I'm curious if they'll play something else besides the album, one hour would be a bit short for a whole show - but on the other hand it would be hard to find the right songs to surround such an album..?
I love to think back to my first show, tooWas a task to get there because of all the snow, not that many people so I got second row, and then there were five guys with such a huge stage presence, the small audience was singing along and having a great time, they played songs I didn't expect them to play, that all literally blew my mind
And seeing Timo w/ Warmen and Lauri at the FME again some time later changed my life
I stil wonder if they're gonna play something else besides the album, and what that could be. Would be interesting to see for example what would come out of a setlist poll, similar to what Sonata Arctica did a few months ago... Would everyone treat them with Elysium, or is that more of a forums' favourite?mocobhc wrote:4.10. Tavastia, Helsinki

wait, wait, who is the medicine man here?mocobhc wrote:somehow I'm not surprised
And who would've thought I'd prefer some newer songs, Elysium and Old Man And The Sea in special... BIG surprise over here as well
Edit: That would be one hell of a night for you, first time in Finland, Visions album AND Run Away - no heart attacks please, my first aid-class was already 13 years ago
Been there, yeah, great show! No Black Diamond, but Unbreakable and Deep Unknown.Tero-75 wrote:Not a Strato-show, but Timo Kotipelto is performing with Conscript Band of the Finnish Defense Forces on Brothers in Arms-Rock Tour in late August. This band has nearly 70 player including strings and wind instruments.
They will perform all kind of rock classics and naturally some Strato classics too. I can only imagine what Black Diamond will sound like with that kind of band
