Stratovarius live in Warsaw - 31.08.2009

[pneumonia]

I've just been there. Gig was brilliant, they were playing great, Timo done his best. Everything was excellent :):)
I've noticed a progress in Deep Unknown performance

The gig was a bit short, because Stratos wasn't the last band, but they put (in order)
- Destiny (great, great, great!!)
- HHAL
- Speed of light
- Piss of Judas
- Deep Unknown
- Million Light Years Away
- Winter Skies
- Phoenix
- Higher We Go
- Eagleheart
- Black Diamond

11 songs, comparing to Masters of Rock in Czech Republic they put Destiny instead of Visions and didn't put Will the Sun Rise?

See you next time!!

Some photos:








Sorry for the quality of photos, but it wasn't my camera and I didn't know how to make in dark places

Basically still the same set list since 2007 and still ONLY 3 songs from Polaris. I think it's time to play some classics from Dreamspace, Twilight Time and of course from Polaris. Seriously.

[Fuuso]

Destiny, awesome!

[vojtisekk]

Sorry, what do you mean by HHAL?
Cheers!

[shg]

Thank you for your pictures! Reached a fine mood.

[rikkertje]

What about Hunting High And Low?

[HinatAArcticA]

We need Elements+Fright Night stuff xD

[_Pepe_]

destiny! perfect!
do you have videos of this show?

[pneumonia]

Yes, Destiny is an awesome beginning...

In Tajpej and Beijing they will have more time so I think they will play Destiny AND Visions AND Twilight Symphony.

Lauri said that they don't like to play with tape, so it would be hard to hear Elements (which could replace Eagleheart IMO )

I don't have videos, but I'll try to find because I saw some video cam.

I've forgotten, Jens had a small but very good solo before Black Diamond

[NeonVomit]

Great pics, who else was playing that night?

[pneumonia]

Turbo (Pol), and Sabaton (Swe), but Sabaton in Poland is more popular than Strato, so they played after Strato. I don't understand it, but ok.

All tickets were sold, so it's a good sign that they will return.

[AAAAAAA]

I was there too and would like to say that the gig was great! I hope Strato will visit Poland soon once again Thanks for pics and thanks to Stratovarius for awesome show!

You might want to fix that typo.

Nice set list, though I'm thinking it will be longer in NYC since they are headlining. Glad to see the tour is going well. Hope they do at least marginally well in the states - tough market for Euro metal bands. Can't wait!

[Gilles]

OH
Destiny, i hope they will play it on the whole tour, i will see them 19 september in Quebec city!

[rikkertje]

YES!!! DESTINY!!!

That's another song from my dreamsetlist!!!

I hope the Amsterdam gig in january 2010 will be something like:

Intro/Deep Unknown
Forever Free
The Kiss of Judas
When The Night Meets The Day
Blind
Eagleheart
Winter
Speed of Light
King of Nothing
Destiny
Forever is Today
Coming Home
Emancipation Suites I & II

Forever
Black Diamond
--
Falling Star

I love Piss of Judas. It's a wonderful song

[Arkash]

- Piss of Judas

Was that ironic cause you dont like the song that much (as me!) or just a keyboard mistake?

Anyway, a good setlist, but the thing with Strato is that they have so much amazing songs that you'll never be fully satisfied by one of their show, cause their will always be songs you love that they wont play!

But, Strato is the best band ever, with Epica, Ensiferum, Kamelot and Blind Guardian!!!!!!

[pneumonia]

I like it, but it is a weakest point of a gig. They could change it (i.e for Forever is Today)

but the author of "Piss of Judas" is Tobias in the "Theater of Salvation" booklet in his thanks to Strato. Just like Hans Kaisen

[Beast_Pete]

Destiny, fuck yeah!

And they started with The Song. It's a really great one for starting a gig.

[Intiaani]

I want to be in the gig starting with Destiny too. :´( I guess I'll have to go see them yet again if they come even near here.

WOW!

[Arkash]

Destiny is awesome, but personally, as for long Strato songs, I prefer Infinite or Visions!

EDIT: forget what I said, they're all such masterpieces!

This is from Bydgoszcz, day after Warsaw show, actually i was there. Concert was absolutley awesome, i have no words to describe this... Even so the crowd was not perfect cause Sabaton fans rather don't know Strato, i hope we show that Strato has solid and loyal group of Strato-maniac here in Poland. So, I hope you guys will visit us in future, thanks for great show!

and for the autographs too!

That, my friends, is unbelievable. Not only is my arm hair up and skin all goose bumps, but also I become breathless. It's so close for bringing a tear into my eye... I need to see this live.

*looking for the next Finnish gig dates on the net*

[stratopoland]

Yeah, I never forget that show and meeting after the gig. Guys from band are still in a great form. In Japan probably will be guitar-bass duel. Lauri and Matias demonstrate it. In Poland music of Strato is not understand but that night were some a really big fans.
Finally, one of the best photos.


In the darkness good pics is really difficult to make.
Greets;)

Hey you guy, you sent me a PM:"Witam!
Mam pytanie, czy przypadkiem to nie Ty (razem ze mna i z kolegami) rozmawiales wczoraj po koncercie z Laurim i Matiasem. Jak tak, to odpisz, moze pogadamy:)
Pozdrawiam:)"

I don't know this language, what does it mean?
