thoughts on the "wild cards"

[Lucien_Konrad]

As Amon Amarth is finally coming to Canada since I got hooked on them, I will be seeing them in 2 months, but the info on the concert seems to be a double set concert, first being the full Surtur Rising CD, the second is going to be classics and "wild cards" so what do you all think these "wild cards" are going to be? I am genuinely curious.

Wild cards are their hit songs, e.g. Pursuit of Vikings, Victorious March

 

[reckoning87]

1. Twilight of the Thunder God
2. Masters of War
3. Live For The Kill
4. With Oden On Our Side
5. Guardians of Asgaard
6. Asator
7. Varyags of Miklagaard
8. Thousand Years of Oppression
9. Without Fear
10. Victorious March>>>Gods of War Arise
11. Death In Fire (played in full)
ENCORE
12. Cry of the Black Birds
13. Runes to My Memory
14. Pursuit of Vikings
----------------------------------------------------

That was the second set of the april/may tour. I expect (and hope) since I went to the Philly show in May they will keep a lot of this the same but make a few changes.

My guesses are:

-Cry of the blackbirds possibly dropped and Twilight moved to its spot, Making room for Valhall Awaits Me as an opener perhaps.

-Maybe a change up in the medly....play march and death in fire in full perhaps and skip the medly overall?

-Masters of War swapped for God, His Son, and Holy Whore

-Thousand Years of Opression and/or WOOOS swapped out for others from those respective albums.

-Varyags/Live For The Kill swapped for a different Twilight song....I would love to hear embrace the endless ocean but it would probably be Tattered Banners....possibly the Hero since they played that at 70,000 tons

Other than that the staple hits will remain.

They didn't play two sets in the Europa tour?

 

[reckoning87]

Nope, only the American dates earlier this year were double sets with surtur rising in its entirety. The Europe tour had I think like 4 or 5 songs from surtur with the rest 'wild cards', although the wild cards from that tour were pretty much the same as those played in America. Said they are mixing up the second set this time around.

This is probably a dumb question, but why did they not play the double set in Europe? Would it be too tiring for them to play double sets for all the tours they did this past go around?
