Stratovarius Community

The gig was great, all tickets were sold. Unfortunately, I didn't saw the support bands.

Timo and Lauri seemed to be very relaxed, but Matias had some problems with stomach (as Timo said). Jens played very interesting soloes and introductions (Black Diamond). He was using Yamaha DX7 (it was a surprise for me ).
The best perfomance for me it was Forever is Today and especially Paradise (Timo was singing just wonderful) and a nice surprise SOS

The set was like in Bratislava and Budapest, but I'll write:

Destiny
Hunting High and Low
Speed of Light
Kiss of Judas
Deep Unknown
Milion Light Years Away
Bach solo
Winter Skies
Phoenix
Bass/Guitar solo (more Bass)
Forever is Today
Paradis
Will the Sun Rise?
Eagleheart
-----------

Forever
SOS
Black Diamond

For next gig I would change Milion (I don't like this theme) and I think Phoenix and Eagleheart and put We hold the key, Eternity and something else from Elements (1 or 2).

Forever is Today sounds very good live. Here are some photos:


















It was very dark, so had to increase my ISO, so there is some noise on the pics.

wow! nice pics!

jens has been using the DX7 as a MIDI controller with strato ever since the visions tour (maybe even a bit before that too). There is no actual sound being produced by the DX7. All his sounds come from a Roland JV-1080, same with his lead sound.

lol the surprise would be seeing him NOT using a Yamaha DX7. But its a pretty awesome board so I totally understand why he still uses them today.

hahahaha Jorg always holding a beer in his hand hahahahahaha

Nice pics!!

Stratovarius was and IS the best band ever!

Ahhhhhh, Will the Sun Rise?!!!!! I am so jealous now!

Setlist is getting better and better, Will The Sun Rise is nice addition

Anyway. Great setlist.
