Setlist for the 2nd part of the Polaris Tour

[Mormegil]

Pull an Iron Maiden and play the whole damn album from the beginning to the end

Lots of other bands do that as well.

I know, but I though it made more sence to mention Maiden instead of "Growling darksluts" from Tobago...

Didn't Stratovarius themselves do that on Infinite-tour?

That's how it should be, they should play more Polaris songs, because they are touring for "polaris" aren't they?

[Ragehead91]

I coulod live without those songs.

[Intiaani]

Yeah, I've already heard Deep Unknown, Higher We Go ans Winter Skies live from the new album. Now that I see them the second time, why not take i.e. King of Nothing and Forever Is Today to the set? :> Have they played any other Polaris songs still than those aforementioned three?

[lalodrums2]

Yeah I think Polaris is a really cool album and it deserves more of it playing live.

C'mon guys trust in your songs, don't live in the past play more from Polaris. It rocks!

[JensJohansson]

Yeah I think Polaris is a really cool album and it deserves more of it playing live.

C'mon guys trust in your songs, don't live in the past play more from Polaris. It rocks!

I agree! It was a bit of a conscious decision to skew the set for the summer festivals more towards stuff that people are familiar with.

[Irinia]

I think you have chosen wisely so far, Jens
And I am sure that there will come more Polaris songs on the next part of the tour.
I have never seen Strato live, so I am hoping for a nice mix of new and old songs (especially Black Diamond, HHAL and Visions) at the concert in Oslo next year

[emperor_black]

yay! so, I might listen to KON and FIT in vancouver!

I agree! It was a bit of a conscious decision to skew the set for the summer festivals more towards stuff that people are familiar with.

Festival audiences are different than on "the band's own tour." In the public there will be a number of people who have come just to listen to other artists. In festival it is good to play well known, popular songs. This may bring to band new friends who want to get to know the music more closely.

In their own gigs can then play a freer range of songs, because songs are in any case familiar and the peoples know them.

[Gilles]

I want to hear Against The Wind, Father Time...!!!

Legions of the Twilight and Destiny would be cool too!

[Rebel_93]

Polaris' songs are good,but the old ones-godlike.

[Arkash]

One that would be great to hear live too is "Coming Home"!

[Gilles]

i agree, coming home!

[Ragehead91]

My dream:

1. Intro/Hunting High and Low
2. Forever is Today
3. The Kiss of Judas
4. Higher We Go
5. Tomorrow
6. Forever Free
7. S.O.S.
8. King of Nothing
9. Speed of Light
10. Forever
11. Infinity
-Encore-
12. Deep Unknown
13. Anthem of the World
14. Twilight Symphony
15. Rebel
16. Black Diamond

[Eugenia]

One that would be great to hear live too is "Coming Home"!

Yes!!! they played coming home in 2005! I hope that it will be added for the polaris tour! I love it.

[RazielSR]

Coming home is a really hard one in vocals to sing live...

[Arkash]

True, but such an amazing moment of music, and I trust Timo to be able to perform it perfectly!

[Polaris]

For me is ok, but also depends of how much time will during the show, I also want to hear many old stuff

Haha! Yeah, it has 7 songs from Polaris. Wich is enough for me. And there are some older songs wich aren't played that much, like Winter and Coming Home.

I hope that Jens reads this and maybe thinks about it!

[AAAAAAA]

I hope they play ode to priapus on the next tour:

priapus priapus hear me cry tonight
shedding tears of laughter, tears of delight
for tonights the night, when we win this fight
establish our home in phallustine as it is our right

priapus priapus, you god of gods
priapus priapus, you stud of studs
priapus priapus, your phallus is great
priapis priapus, more followers we'll create

priapis priapus hear me laugh tonight
ripples of sadness? masked behind delight
for tonights the night when we get a new sibling
stinky will bear us another A-member
And we will never surrender

And thus I was born, A7 is here
now i'm ganna go and git me a beer


Phallus*

*Like "amen"

Another song Strato can play. They know the melody.


I can feel your whole soul in my hair,
And it's whisper is telling me things,
Of the joy that is gathering near,
When you and I spread our blue wings,


Now I leaving my sorrows behind,
Find the freedom in soul and in mind,
We have started our find,
And you are always so kind,
So we fly,so we fly,


We are sailing high and low,
We are in the STRATOspere above,
Rising more and more,
Together we go,you and I,
Oh Priapus,oh my God,
You and I,you and I,
with the wind,
You and I.You and I.....

They DID play Visions at Sauna Open Air in June, and if I right remember reading setlists they have played it on several other gigs too this summer. I haven't heard that song live since Visions-tour in -98.
