New Show Format

[ThirstyViking]

Hey guys, I wanted to know what you guys thought of the new show format. Specifically, AA played the whole Surtur Rising album, then took a short beer break and then returned to play songs from other albums. I saw the show in Montreal last night and thought it was a kick ass idea!! They played something like 12 songs after the break, for a total of 3 hours. Demanding for them, but it really seems like to enjoyed playing for us!!

On top of that, they played my favorite song The Last with Pagan Blood, so I personally could not ask for a better show!! I'll remember this specific show my whole life! The other AA shows I saw were also great though!

the double set is not anything really new. but, it was an amazing night here in TO. for sure. double sets tend to not be done often due to multiple bands playing, and time constraints to let the fans actually leave and get home in a decent time. (by that I mean ending around 2 am at the latest) Im greatful they decided to play it though

I want them to do the same in Europe, so yes, I like the idea.

I agree!

It does sound good! I know you have more chances of seeing AA play near you in Europe but I always get tour envy whenever I see the support acts for US dates.

Or in this case the lack of support acts ^^

Yep...seems like a good thing...I hope they maybe bring that to Europe next Year for their 20th anniversary

I wonder if they'll release a "Best of" to celebrate their 20 years.

i hope they'd play all their songs live from Scum to Surtur Rising for their 20years

I wouldn't know if they would or not to be honest, but it'd be pretty cool for new fans to get such album

I agree too

Hear hear!

i hope they'd play all their songs live from Scum to Surtur Rising for their 20years

What, over 8 or 9 days?

Not bad

I think tickets would be expensive though However, it would be worth it, and even if I had to travel all around the world to see this show I would go

 

[gnoff]

The 4 day tickets for Bochum wasn't very expensive afai can recall, then they did 8 shows in 4 days.

 

[Tomasz]

I don't see that ever happening unless some major cash was on the table.

Has there ever been any band around that has done that type of thing?

It was quite challenging / lots of work as I understand during the Bochum days and that was barely half of what you're suggesting. Lot's of practice/rehearsing hours before each show. Lots of fun for all but the band.

i hope they'd play all their songs live from Scum to Surtur Rising for their 20years

Yep, pretty cheap. Round about 50€ for those 4 unforgettable nights which definately is value for money.

MANOWAR

 

[ThirstyViking]

Well there you have it. You know it's a great band when a "Best Of" would take that long he he.

Good news for Europeans, they'll be in Wacken next year. I want to go! Airfare to get across the Atlantic increases total show cost but being part of the festival must be awesome!
