Stratovarius Community

I'd prefer to stay watching My Eternal Dream if you don't mind.

Not a Fan of the band anymore for some reason the last album and the few songs i heard from the new one doesn't make me as excited and happy as the old records and Elysium but im glad they are still relevant making music and making people happy so i thought on sharing this vid i found on a spanish site.

Enjoy

Very nice, indeed.

I wonder how an early fan can stop be a fan and not love this fantastic musicians and songwriters now. Have you gone deaf in your old age?

I apologize if this was already posted somewhere in this thread, but I came across a live video of Hands of Time from 2013 while looking for live videos of early 90s Strato.

It's... so surreal to watch. Literally none of the current band had anything to do with that song. I'm not complaining - Hands of Time is one of my most favorite pre-Kotipelto Stratovarius songs - but it's just weird and strangely satisfying to see this song being played over 20 years later.

I would love for Stratovarius to embark on a tour or two that saw them mainly playing old songs, or more obscure tunes, but I suppose those days are long past and there's really no point because it'd be Stratovarius covering Stratovarius. Still, I want to hear Out Of The Shadows live....

I love Matias and Lauri singing backup.

Which reminds me, who does Tolkki's old line from Father Time's chorus? Lauri? Matias? Nobody?

Lost Without a Trace, live. Solid performance!

In My Line Of Work live. I allready feared this was going to be a bit too much for TK live. Especially the last chorus.

Also at Matias starting his solo too early!

(Part of) The Lost Saga live.

Another My Eternal Dream.

The sound quality is shit but man, TK is on fire with these new songs. Really great!

A rarity I had never heard before.

it's an old recording of a live performance of Will The Sun Rise... and some shenanigans occur.

Maybe it's just the quality but Tolkki looks like a chick in that picture.

That was cool though. When/where was this?

Don't know where it was, but judging by Jens' lead sound and TK's vocals I'd say it's the Visions Tour.

This recording comes from the bootleg which is called "Fuckin P.A." probably just because of this interlude in Will the Sun Rise.
Not from Visions Tour. This one is from Episode Tour from its Japanese leg and has been recorded in Tokyo, 10.12.1996.

I really feel TK has had some vocal lessons or something. He is so in control of his voice and also more brave to attempt notes in his chest voice and also sustaining them. He sounds the best he has in years! Can't wait for the show in The Netherlands!

And more of Feeding the Fire!

More in general from the new album and songs they don't play as often.
We don't need Black Diamond every single time in my opinion

So? You (we) are going to EVERY concert and are forced to listen to Black Diamond every time? It must be fantastic.
