(Whoa, Oav posting on the forum! :hotjump: )
Well, I have not checked your current setlist on purpose as I want to be surprised (yeah, it's silly) when you come to Finland in October, but here are some humble suggestions of old / rare songs that I'd like to hear live one day:
- Something from Skydancer! It's most definitely the right time for that. Shadow Duet is probably too much to ask, but how about Crimson Winds or Through Ebony Archways?
- Basically anything from The Gallery, except for Midway Through Infinity. The title-track was awesome the last time I saw you, even with all the pre-song silliness.
- Shadowlit Facade; a vastly underrated song you haven't had in you setlist for ages (although I'm afraid if you'll ever play something exclusively from ESA Matse will be asking for Archetype).
- Nether Novas. I just don't understand why you've never played it live - is there a particular reason for that?
- Not Built to Last. I don't think you've played it since at least 2002.
- White Noise / Black Silence; another old live-favorite you haven't had in your set in a while. Static would be awesome, but you don't seem to ever play bonus-tracks, so I won't even bother asking for it.
- One Thought. You played it before the release of Character, but never afterwards, as far as I know. Senses Tied would be another great pick, but you haven't played that one either.
- Below the Radiance. Another bonus-track, I know - but it just kicks ass! Besides, Empty Me is the only song from Fiction I haven't seen you play and while a good song, it's not as great as Below the Radiance.
- Finally, I really want to hear Archangelsk live.
So there. I know you won't be playing all of those I mentioned, but one or two of them would be very nice.
