Rolf's very first live gig with Stratovarius...

[tpocain]

Strato loves Mexico, yes they do...






I don't...

Yeah, I wish they liked the US more but I don't blame them for not coming here much--just not enough damn demand for their kind of music! I know Jens doesn't like Florida, but that's OK--besides, I don't like it here anymore, neither...:\

Here is the playlist of the concert in Pécs, which was Rolf's 3rd gig:

My friend recorded it. We managed to get into the backstage and watch the guys there during the whole show. We talked a lot to them especially to Jens and Matias. Rolf seems to be a really nice guy and a good addition to the band. He never missed ANYTHING at all, perfect play. I'm already looking forward to my 10th aniversary gig.

This video confirms again why Rolf is a good choice.

Rolf did an amazing job last night in Andernach! Seemed like they've been playing live together for years such a good chemistry and mood on stage, guy was such a good choice And I FINALLY got to see Infernal Maze live :luv1:
Band was totally nice afterwards, special thanks to Lauri for not reacting embarassed about my solo-stuff-collection-Crazy World-shows-inquiries

Some pics from yesterday




Lauri wrote these during the show (the second one is mine now and Lauri signed them for us )

[RazielSR]

Many thanks for those pictures and video! The band sounds amazing and they are having A LOT of fun!

[tpocain]

Ah, Lauri's got a 'STACHE now, huh? I wish I could have been there! Thanks for these great photos and the whole band looks like they were very happy and having a great time...

[hiro23]

Awesome pictures, looks like it was a lot of fun.

[AAAAAAAAAA]

I find that Lauri's facial hair makes him appear more dominating, masculine, and assertive. :nervous:

[mocobhc]

I just went through Saturdays' pics again and think I share another one, no good quality, but funny cause Timo and Lauri look like they're playing Ching Chang Chong

[ÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖ]

You are a pearl, Moco!

[hiro23]

I'll bet the set list was really nice.

[tpocain]

Ah, hello, Hiro! I'll bet it was really nice, too!

[hiro23]

Hi Tpocain, it's been awhile.

Timo K. told me that they love playing the U.S., but I do know from past posts that Jens has made that the issue for them is more financial and not because they dislike playing here. I also seem to recall Tolkki complaining on his last tour here that there were "only 30 people" at the show in Seattle. I don't know if they had this small a turnout at more shows, but the show in L.A. definitely had more than 30 people.

[InfernalMaze]

I'll bet the set list was really nice.

not in the correct order and probably forgot a few but here I go

Infernal Maze
Paradise
Hunting High And Low
Black Diamond
The Kiss Of Judas
Eternity
Forever
The Deep Unknown
Visions
Darkest Hours
Under Flaming Skies
Phoenix
Against The Wind

the Andernach show was amazing!

[hiro23]

Awesome set list, I wish I could have seen it.

[brought2ubyletterC]

Wish I could have seen it too.

[AAAAAAAAAA]

You mean "awesome setlist, I wish i could have seen the show". Otherwise, "it" refers to the setlist, which reduces the sentence to illogical nonsense.

[hiro23]

Touche

I figured that the show is what was implied however after rereading through my statement it is in fact not implied there. However that being said how many people would really have thought of it that way?

Sorry for pumping up such a old thread but I think it´s worth it to ease up the waiting for Nemesis.

I was about to upload this stuff ages ago already and now I´m finally doing it. I recorded some stuff during Tammerfest show in last July which was the second show for Rolf. There you go - Black diamond + Hunting high and low!

These were recorded at front row, that´s why there´s quite a lot of bass in the sound

[brought2ubyletterC]

Thanks; can't wait to see it!

[Melody]

Thanks; can't wait to see it!

Sorry, it´s only audio. It´s recorded with a phone but the video is so damn shaky that I would not rather share it
