It's the Lauri/Matias duel.

although they didn't play Legions when I saw them

This topic is...weird.

How come?

Anyway, they kind of played Visions well the time I saw them. There were no duels, Legions, Father Time or Destiny that time yet though. I'm glad the setlist has evolved during the tour though (not to mention for the better). But, well, I also like Twilight Symphony especially live, the solos are so great! Winter Skies is also very nice; sadly the crowd didn't take it as well as these eagleheartz and huntings. Although I can honestly say I think Eagleheart is one hell of a live song though, I like it a lot live! The same goes with good ol' Speed of Light. Hard to say which is the best though. I can give a go for the worst though: Will the Sun Rise? Never a strong song, and it's pretty horrible live.

Kiss of Judas was always boring and sluggish studio, but live is a whole different story.

You expect me to choose between Father Time and Black Diamond (just to name two) which is better? That alone gives me enough trouble...

I still don't went to this new tour, but I saw some videos on YouTube, the set list is good, but I missed songs like We hold the key!
BTW, I hope to hear Destiny live here in Brazil too

I Just hope they'll play Coming Home when I see'em, no doubt they'll play my other favourite songs since they are on the current set list, but, come on, Coming Home! They quite never play it and it such a great masterpiece!

That AND a big epic on the set would be a dream come true! I consider We Hold the Key being a major 'epic song' on its own, it's massive, but not as massive or long as Visions, Destiny, Elements, Emancipation, stuff. Actually hearing any song of these, except Visions for the fourth time, would be the greatest experience! And Forever Is Today and Father Time still need to be in the set until I've heard them!

Not that I dislike Visions or anything... Easily on my top 5 of all the songs I know.

I think this topic it's a bit early for some of us, I still have to wait a week and a half to post my opinion here

so,don't forget to put.....

I have to wait for January to see them, in France, I'll up the topic when the time has come! ^^

I heard some video/bootleg and my fave at the moment is Winter Skies as well! Love that piano break and Timo's performance! I guess it's the first time Jens using piano in a Strato-song....

What about Season of Change? And many others but he hasn't used it like that and mostly not live! :p

I guess in "season" there's a harpsichord, not a piano, but I could be wrong...

Keep the Flame only has a simple piano backing at least. And what? Cymbal? I think the instrument is called piano and there's a cymbal on the drum set...

Change a little subject... Can you guys tell me what is Kotipelto sing after "stronger than steel we're the Legions of the Twilight" .......... From the song "Legions" ?! I have search on the net but the sites of lyrics just do'n t shown this part of this song.. Is it "back home again" ...?!

You know, I haven't thought about it for quite some time. Now that you mention it, "back home again" sounds as it might be what's sang there. It's more likely compared to what I once heard, "back from the dead", since they didn't die back then or anything... I don't have my Strato records here in Tampere with me, but I don't think it even reads in the lyrics...

If I still had my copy of Visions, I'd let you know what the lyrics were, but sadly, Visions and about 20 more of my beloved CDs were destroyed in a car accident I had over the weekend. Sigh...

Well, it could by "back from the dead". You know, when bandy write those hymns about their legions of fans or metal in general tend to exaggerate. ManOwaR is a perfect example. Have you ever listened to the Lyrics of "Warriors of the World United"?

Now that you said it seems more that "back from the dead" is what kotipelto sing in the music....

I always heard "Back from the dead"

I even read one version that said "black grows at day." WTF?

I think it's "back from the dead."

I've always heard "back from the dead" too!

its both in the lyrics "back from the dead" and when we have to go back home again, we'll keep the memories we gained inside our hearts.

Thank you all!!! Yeah now I know it's "back from the dead" and after there's "back home again"......

Well I went to SP show, & now I can say that PHOENIX was their best performance live here!

I also love to hear A million light years aways, Destiny, Winter Skies & Hunting high & low!

They didn't play Legions but Destiny live was awesome here in Belo Horizonte......

they should play playing with fire, rebel and why are we here on tour some times. They havent played the never? or have they?
