Esa is absolutely not an asshole for declining your request and is well within his right as a musician to perform whatever the hell he pleases. You seem strangely bent out of shape about this, and I wonder if he didn't think you were a bit rude to approach and beg him to play a particular song...

Okay, I first decided to make my first post in many months because WOW! Two Moons has always been one of my favourite Amorphis songs and I really never thought they would perform it live again. This is seriously such great news! Thank you so much for the video! But in response to the above...

I must say I'm largely unimpressed with the recent setlists. 5 new songs in an 11 song set? How is that justified? Granted, I'd be happy with pretty much anything they played, but a bit more of a balance would go a long way. Also, PLEASE stop closing with House of Sleep.

Their set was really only eleven songs? What the hell?

What was the Tuska setlist!?! Any decent videos? Also, does anyone know what the Hellfest setlist was?

Umm, In the Beginning is from Tales from the Thousand Lakes, my friend, not TBOT.

What's wrong with In the Beginning between Nightbird's Song and On Rich and Poor? That's awesome, if you ask me. If that setlist is an indication of a typical Circle headlining show, then I think it's pretty cool and I'm impressed. I do really wish they'd drop a couple songs like You I Need, and...

Can someone give a brief review of the Circle documentary?

I couldn't agree more with this. Amorphis often talk about the song order of the albums being important to them, and I usually think they do an excellent job, but Circle throws me off a little bit in that regard. By the time I reach Wanderer, I feel like skipping straight to Nightbird's Song...

And a fuckin' great setlist it is! http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/amorphis/2013/reading-3-tel-aviv-israel-4bd83f3e.html Pretty much standard, but I'm so glad they're keeping Better Unborn in there, not to mention Vulgar Necrolatry!

What do you mean by this? I agree that it sounds very different from Amorphis these days, and that's actually what I love about it! It's one of the most 'out there' songs on the album, and wow, I love the chorus. This song is immense, Amorphis bonus tracks always seem to be so strong.

Ah, I never introduced myself. I'm Rory from BC, Canada. I used to post on the old forum on Amorphis' website a few years ago as Soothsayer but forgot my password. I fell in love with Amorphis in 2007 and my favourite album is Elegy. By the way, is there somewhere we can listen to Dead Man's...

Yeah, the Nightbird's Song video was filmed by Denis Goria (the French dude who made the accompanying Circle documentary DVD) and is included in the digipak version of the album.

Nice, that's a really cool video of Veil of Sin. Two Moons must be intense live. There's also a brilliant version of Elegy that is a duet with Pasi and Tomi J. I think this is the best, Pasi sounds really good: Elegy has always been one of my favourite Amorphis songs; so tragic and sad.

Wow, Eurynome, that is a special setlist full of rarities. Must have been just before Skyforger came out since I guess they were teasing with Silver Bride. Man, Veil of Sin has always been a personal favourite of mine, too. One of Pasi's best performances, would be cool to see Joutsen do it. I...
