I'm sorry I couldn't record anything longer or of higher quality, but it does help a lot putting it to HD.

Also it was a great show last night, and really cool that I got to meet them .

I can't remember the order, but they played these songs I think:
Paradise
Black Diamond
Hunting high and low
Forever
Million light years away
Higher we go
Deep unkown
Winter Skies
Eagle Heart
Phoenix
Speed of Light

Hopefully I'm not forgetting anything, great show though.

P.S. the t-shirts were really cool, I got an angel one.

Hi Nintendus

What happens at the Meet N Greet ? Before or after show ? Did you miss Edens Curse or Firewind ?

Looking forward to the Meet N Greet tonight at Nottingham!!

Cheers

Well basically, you get a rather stylish patch to go on your clothes at the door. Then after the show you'll meet somewhere, wait for a bit, then go to see the band. Thats how it will be if its anything like it was for us.

I hope the nottingham show is as good as the wolverhampton one

(Hopefully I have an idea of what I'm talking about - I rarely do)

Posted this in another thread but will post again here:

Main set:
Hunting High and Low
Speed of Light
The Kiss of Judas
Higher We Go
Paradise
A Million Light Years Away
Forever Free
Winter Skies
Phoenix
Forever
Eagleheart

Encore:
Deep Unknown
Black Diamond


Agree about the t-shirts, they really are fantastic

Thanks for the info Nintendus !!!

thanks a lot nintendus !

All the best, Lee

Ohhhh I would have prefered a laminate pass but a sticky will do the trick! Can't wait til the London show on Monday!! Wonder who was the other person who won...

Set list looks good...my personal fave "Run Away" not on there but thats ok, nice mixed setlist, glad to see its not new album heavy, as much as its good to hear new material its nice to hear old too!

I'll make sure I take my camera with me...

Higher We Go is on the setlist then.

Timo's voice is really bad in that video...
And he sings the wrong lyrics in the 2nd verse...

Maybe they should practise the new songs a little bit better.

Not everyone is going to sound perfect all the time, We'd have to be robots to do that.

You're absolutely right. But on the album he sings 'Higher We Goooo' in the chorus with full power, but live he can't even reach the notes...

yes but it happens sometimes, being a singer I understand perfectly that there are times your voice just doesn't cooperate with you, this really is something we shouldn't hold against TK

Well, in the studio power metal singers can wear loose fitting pants. Those pants let them insert the tools they need to squeeze their testicles to reach the high notes.

Live, they have to wear the tight leather trousers and untying those strings at the front in order to get the nutcracker in there for each high note just isn't metal. Time spent using your hands for that is time not spent doing the metal horns after all. Those who wear really tight pants can sometimes be able to apply the right pressure by doing splits but this is a very advanced technique.

All right Guys here are the First Pictures of The Show enjoy.

Well let's hope that this is the case and that the next gigs will be better. I wish the guys good luck!

I believe that's the David Lee Roth technique. Very formidable.

Back on topic, I can't guarantee anything but I'll see if I can get some pictures at the very least. Unfortunately, the Cathouse is known for having incredibly bad acoustics so any video will probably sound worse than hideous.

Very sound logic
If a singer misses once, then he will miss every time.

Timo said he didn't feel 100% at the gig so if he wasn't perfect that's probably why. Personally I thought he was excellent, sure he missed a couple of high notes but you can't expect any singer to be as good across an entire live show as in the studio.

How many peoples was there?? pohotos are great.. I like jörgi drums

That's all you can hope for really is that their voice turns out well for the gig. Rest assured though you always know that TK will give 150% no matter what.

That's true! And I will always support him and the rest of the band.
