Have to agree there, but it was just a comment my friend. Take it easyRebel wrote:I get tired of hearing the same (fringe) opinion again and again on here. I think it's pretty surprising that they even play "Twilight Symphony", but their setlists are comprised of whatever Timo thinks are the best songs for maximum audience enjoyment.
Rebel is acting so gay today. He has more dick in himself than Dickinson.ggonza43 wrote:Have to agree there, but it was just a comment my friend.

I agree, a very minority of people at each gig will know the first 3 albums, but the band could still consider putting something together. Perhaps on a future DVD after new albums (when they get round to it)? Y'know, even if its as little as 2 songs like 'Future Shock' to finish the setlist or 'Hands of Time'. Would really make it interesting for the longest time fansRebel wrote:
If you've read the interviews, you know there is NO reason to play really old songs. Most (70%) of the people at a concert want to hear songs like Black Diamond and HHAL. about 25% are more dedicated fans that own Polaris and Elysium and want to hear songs off the new record, and then there is an EXTREMELY small portion of the fans (most of which who post here) who have even HEARD those songs, let alone want to hear them live.
especially for the fact that theres no high quality live recordings of the oldest studio albums. not for every setlist, but for a live album or something along those lines.In fact, that was my point but couldn't express it very well. The most loyal and "elder" fans will found it interesting to see those songs live, and for the ones who are "new" at them, it's a great opportunity to see that the band has some great stuffs back in timestratodan1990 wrote:I agree, a very minority of people at each gig will know the first 3 albums, but the band could still consider putting something together.

You're wrong!
That would only be weird...Kosmo wrote:
Trying to dig up the info about the band not playing songs from the first three albums, but i don't even remember if it was a video or a text interview..Or an interview at all even!
Edit: Found it! Well..Sort of. An interview with Jörgi from '09,
With no members left from that era, do you play any stuff from the first three albums?
Jörg: I guess we do “Twilight Symphony,” maybe “Dreamspace.”
So appereantly there's nothing stopping them from playing songs from the first three, my memory betrayed me.
