Yeah man the cathouse had a pretty shitty sound. I was at the front-right, and my ears were still ringing this morning, seem to be fine now but I was quite worried.CES wrote:That shows you how bad the acoustics are in the Cathouse. I was at the front row off to the left less than 4 feet from the speakers on that side though. I only regained hearing in my left ear this morning.
Even it sounds ridiculous for many people, I would like not having so many classics on the setlist. I think Polaris is a very important album in this band history, or better said, totally a new chapter, so it would be fresh and cool to hear more live versions of these new songs.Gregory wrote: Intro (Clockwork Orange)

Doesn't sound ridiculous, but it was a bit of a conscious decision for this tour leg. It's always more difficult for people to absorb live what they hear for the very the first time. And the new album only came out this week!Inventariado wrote:Even it sounds ridiculous for many people, I would like not having so many classics on the setlist.

Yeah i think in few weeks, there are more and more from Polaris songs, but for the moment it's very important play HHAL, Black diamond, Visions... for fans!! And see Matias played tooJensJohansson wrote:Doesn't sound ridiculous, but it was a bit of a conscious decision for this tour leg.

Having said that, now with hindsight the response also for the new songs was really nice though.
Hey Jens, I say that you just have to take more of Polaris songs to the setlist. Not for any moral reasons, but just because those songs are good and they can easily compete with old classics. That way they get more familiar with people and become classics as wellJensJohansson wrote:Doesn't sound ridiculous, but it was a bit of a conscious decision for this tour leg.

That is true, but you need some more songs to make a setlist!Inventariado wrote: In my humble opinion, although this band has a huge history and a glorious catalog of songs, live shows should bet more to the present and future. Last world tour with TT had a similar setlist, and for the things that happened, hearing all those songs without TT will make more evident the missing.

Well said! I missed the UK tour this time, hopefully they will come back soonCES wrote:Perhaps because "We" (read: the UK) haven't had Strato tour this country ever in the 20-something years they've existed. Now, I'll try to explain it: In a country that you have never toured in but has a fanbase, would you a) Play the classics the fans want to hear or b) play songs from an album that wasn't even released in the country at that date.
So yeah, not everyone has had the chance to see Black Diamond, Eagleheart, Judas or Paradise live.

If just Kiss of Judas would be swithed to Forever is Today I would be really happy.
Maybe destiny or Anthem of the world too but thats not as necessary.
We need a live album!!!
and a poll should Forever is Today be included in the set!
This is a mistake right?No it's notrikkertje wrote:The tracklist sais 'TK's Drum Solo'!!!mayhem-for-all wrote:http://www.metalfromfinland.com/news/20 ... _available

At the beginning of encore Jorg suddenly came out of his drum kit to the front of the stage and forced TK to play drum solo for the audience. Though Timo was really surprised, he played a couple of patterns and then told to totally stunned audience that he hasn't practiced for about 15 years. So seems all the thing was pure joke and improvisation from Jorg's sideRagehead91 wrote:Was this some kind of joke like Helloween did in 2005 where for example Dani Löble (the drummer) would come out with a mini-guitar and have a duell with Sascha Gerstner and latter Markus Großkoppf with a mini drum-set a duel against Dani?
That may be as you said. But it is possible that they have planning that before too. And Timo was "suprised" when Jörgi asked that. Who knows?kindman wrote:At the beginning of encore Jorg suddenly came out of his drum kit to the front of the stage and forced TK to play drum solo for the audience.
