[IceBreaker]

Can you please share the best moments with us here ? And we want pics !!! Please

Maybe this time we could try making a certain thread for the new live pics? Or is that again just a utopia?

But cannot wait to hear which songs they play. Hope again some rarities!

Hi everyone:

Testuo will have the privilege to see the first show of Statovarius American Tour today, and I'll have the second. They're also coming in Montreal this Friday.

I will try to get my Videotape camera in and/or my digital camera. If it works, I shall have a video and pictures to share with you next week-end. Wish me good luck!

Seeya!

[nefertari]

Have a great time and take good pics @ Martine ! We are waiting for them .

Hi everybody. It was my first Stratoshow and it was very #*&%ing amazing with a loud crowd of the craziest fans. Ambr@bec, you told me that show of Stratovarius always been a fantastic experience, now I understand. The epic style of them just make sing all night and it's not my kind.

The songs the play : only the best. I assure you, it's true.

TK is the kind of singer I love : no shouting, funny, always on the pitch (well not always always, but always).

[Thorn]

I'm just back from the show an it was very good.
Hunting high and low, Black Diamond, Kiss of Judas, SOS, The Abyss of your eyes...
Except for the lead guitar sound that was just too aggressive (too much high-mids), it was excellent.

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you'll now be a "regular" at Strato shows.

Does anyone have photos yet?

[Martine]

I'm going tomorrow in Montreal so I'll have pictures for you, and maybe a video (but I'll maybe wait 'til the end of their tour before releasing the video, 'cause I don't want to reveal too much, I guess TT would like that)

Seeya!

YES! Some different songs from last time around (SOS and Abyss)

[nefertari]

Hi everyone:

The gig in Montreal was fantastic, short though, no break. Everything was done in an hour and a half. Very loud, the way I like it! There is an expression in French (I don’t know if the equivalent exists in English) that means something like “I hear the silence”. After the show, my ears reacted by thumping (is it the right word?) all night long.

Marjatta told me to be patient after the show so I could meet the guys. Well, we were VERY patient. The gig ended around 10:30 p.m. and my son and I waited until 1:45 a.m. to see them, but it was worth it! We forgot the cold and the “fatigue”. They all autographed my son’s guitar. Of course, they were tired and they were leaving for the U.S.

Unfortunately my video camera did not work (I tried it a few hours previously and it worked, I was very disappointed) and I forgot to set my digital camera on “Night Scene” (Stupid I am), so I have nothing to show you.

So here is the set list:

Hunting High & Low
Black Diamond (a classic)
Kiss of Judas
S.O.S.
The Abyss of your eyes
Speed of Light
A Million light years away
Distant Skies
Will My Soul Ever Rest In Peace
Visions
Phoenix
Eagleheart
Forever
Paradise
and another one that I know, but I'm unable to put the name on it

[brought2ubyletterC]

They did "Will my Soul Ever Rest in Peace" too? Wow, this is really setting up to be one hell of a show! I hope they do all these same songs in L.A.!

And "Phoenix"...will I ever stop calling for smelling salts after reading this awesome setlist?

[nefertari]

Thank you Martine for sharing this with us . It was a great show !!!

[Abo]

That's exactly the Québec's set list. Thanks, I forgot some songs.

[iron_thunder]

and another one that I know, but I'm unable to put the name on it

ode to joy!

Um, wasn't it Father Time? The setlist is on the setlist topic....

[Abo]

Yes, they played Father Time in Québec City.

[Martine]

Thank you, it was Father time, I remember now! Must be my old age!

[Abo]

Thank you, it was Father time, I remember now! Must be my old age!

I don't know how old you are, but I tought that Wednesday I would have been much older than the average age. I'm 34. I wasn't very much older. A lot of people between 40 and 50 years old were at the show, and a lot of young people of course.
