Well, it looks nice already now. But I´d be satisfied just if you let Will the Sun Rise? away and replace it for the Milan-footage (just e.q. Soul of a Vagabond or the Medley.) :P

An impressive song list indeed. I'd prefer you put as many songs as you can. Backstage footage is too often boring boozing. Nothing wrong with boozing though. Some true Kodak moments tend to happen when one gets intoxicated, as Infinete Visions shows.

Then again, IF covered that aspect of touring very well while the concerct clips weren't very Hifi. This time you could concentrate on the musical act. Just my 2 euros

I would say that the only song on the setlist that could replace is United :yuk: . And maybe Father Time; it's super cool on album but it's boring to listen as live... IMO Will the Sun Rise is cool song to hear live! :)

I just hate that song possible as much as you hate Eagleheart. :? :x

Well, if you hate it THAT MUCH, it's must be really horrible to you! :lol:
Of course it's not even close as Strato's best songs, but the keyboard-guitar melody battle at time 02.22 is always so fucking incredible.

'Eagleheart' is a quality song! Kool cheesy lyrics i like. It's better than 'Will The Sun Rise?' which is also a kool song.

Father Time and Forver free are the only songs that bore me when played live, but WtSR and Eagleheart i love, the melodies (not to mention the solo battle) and the lyrics are excellent imo.

WtSR is fuckin owning. The fourth best StratoSong. It must be on the DVD. How could the sun rise, if they left it out?? ?? ?? ?? ??

Will The Sun Rise? kicks asses IMO.

I want to see it on the DVD, because they didn´t play it on the show in Germany :wink:

Yeah they didn't play it here either. Actually the sun has not risen since then in Budapest. :(

And about Father Time: it is always a MUST on a StratoLiveShow. \m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/

Are you kidding ? This song plainly SUCKS ! When I hear it I am like "Am I in a HammerFall show or something ?". Can't think of anything less melodic than this.

But the list so far looks brilliant. It can only become better.
I couldn't agree more! The elks were way fun. The setlist is great, really 9the 2:35 one). It will become better with bonuses that could fulfill the missing time to 3 hours. Stratovideos are always nice to watch, and watch and watch. :D

Seems pretty melodic to me. Good fast headbangin' song.

Hmh, everyone can´t like every song. :roll:

But IMHO both Father Time and Speed of Light really must be played live. :)

Am I the only person who is not crazy about WtSR? :( I don't hate it, but its not one of MY StratoFavs. But, the Bach solo in it is nice, IMO. :)

As long as Black Diamond is on there, I'm very happy! :D

Both where played here, but Father Time has nothing special, no spark if you know what i mean, i do not hate it, but i really do not like it

In my opininon they HAVE to put Against The Wind on...i think that's my favourite song, along with Black Diamond.

Check the setlist of Sao Paolo. You can find the Wind in it. :)

Despite this, I think Against the Wind is that kind of song I find no spark from it. So, I don´t really like it much. There´re many better songs in 4th Dimension, e.q. WHtK, DS, LotW and TS. :wink:

Oh my, Against the Wind is one of my all time fave songs!
Every concert I went here they played this song and its lyrics really cheers me up.
I'd be damn disappointed if they put it aside =/

Against the Wind was the first song for me after Destiny, that I started to like. It's so cool. I heard it only twice so far, eventhough I have been to 4 StratoGigs so far. I hope to hear it on the next time too. :)

Against the Wind ws the very first song I heard by Stratovarius about 5 years ago on TV--they played the Video. And, I thought it was great. I taped it twice--so I got a copy of that video Years before any of you guys ever saw it! :)
Yeah, I guess I am bragging! :)

You should try to listen more We Hold the Key. Then you could discover that the song is one of the all time best Stratos. :music: Really a masterpiece, specially comparing to Against the Wind like stuff. :wink:
