Apart from the fact that there would be a scream "Hallelujah" with lots of echo, say it was a delusion is an understatement.
Yes, finally, after 5 years I was finally able to see them: Sonata Arctica, my fellow high school woes (read also: lines), joyful moments, sad moments, sing out loud in the car and film Comet mental about why all their songs always end badly (breaking a lance in favor of "Flag in the ground," but I fear that you should listen to contrary ...).
The week before the concert was a real labor, primarily because it was thought that the concert would be skipped, since Tony Kakko had the brilliant idea of \u200b\u200btaking an infection on his vocal cords a few days before the concert in Milan, but fortunately only the dates have been canceled in Germany (to your face, Boche shit !!!). then usual last-minute logistical problems, including trying to understand why in hand luggage could carry a disposable razor and not the eye-liner.
Travel by air and stay in Milan to say the least perfect, not counting strafogate home of Sergio and the all-at-will to the Japanese restaurant. We wandered for Milan which lacked about 10 years and visited some other cute little place. the morning the concert we go to visit Monza (really loooong cute) and then, after dinner, we move towards PalaSharp.
As it happens that that is literally attached PalaSharp Stadium S. Siro where AC Milan was playing that night at home: an absurd traffic all the way, but luckily we arrived on time, we parked, we arrive at my friend Andrea and catapult us into the tent, which at 30 minutes into the concert was still almost empty and we take advantage to go as far as possible under the stage. At 21
split the concert begins, and is now delirious. They start with "Flag in the ground" and "Paid in full" and then continue ranging between a few songs of last two albums and oldies. The voice of Tony felt that he was not in the best conditions, but managed to get away egreggiamente, reaching the end of "Do not Say a Word" (the last song), which is not the easiest of them, then the audience scream with the ubiquitous "Vodkaa song."
"Last Drop Falls" was sung by the singer Delain (the opening act), I also think because he did not do (there are quite a few 'treble), but it was a good choice, also because it is a really beautiful song, and particularly valued the female voice (counting that Tony's voice is very clean).
"Replica" "Eighth Commandment" and "Fullmoon" were literally screaming all over the audience. Fantastic early half improvised "Fullmoon" in which Tony was awarded a yodel and then Henka played anything, then take to the mad joy with the song itself, doing (of course) to the public scream "Run away, run away, run away "in the chorus.
On to components: Marko exclude because the little I saw, to my chagrin, because Tony and I talked about it already (I add only that it is a crazy wild).
Tommy, say it is a machine born to play the drums is an understatement. Do not step on those pedals stopped just one second (Except in cracks between songs and each other), and played "Eighth Commandment" after more than an hour together in an exemplary way (can you say that in that song you hear only the battery).
Henka (yes, I know that Henrik is called, but they call it ...) is crazy: in his minute solo could do anything on those keys and keytar purple and white was beautiful.
Elias: the new entry of the group that took the place of Jani. Assuming that I'm biased, because Jani is the third of my personal favorite guitar charts after Vai and Petrucci, I would say that Elias is really good. I was in front of him, and I saw it very well. I'm just saying that if, during the solo Henka all screamed like crazy, then when it was the turn of Elias there was a deathly silence from the audience and I think there were also about 20,000 open mouths and eyes out of 40,000 Orbits: no one expected it to be at those levels (on the other hand, has replaced a semi-god like Jani). And I must say that it is a great steak ...
The finish with the "Vodkaa song" and the outro of "Everything fades to gray" was a nice touch, although the question, "Milan, is there anything you want?", The audience instead of screaming " Vodkaa "he shouted," Tallulah, "hoping in vain that they played. 15 songs, cover 'We Will Rock You "by Queen, and two solos for a total of about an hour and a half. A great concert. A dream finally came true. I admit that the temptation to follow in Barcelona's state. hope in an encore, even though right now the priority is for Dream Theater. After them, I could die ... maybe in the arms of Portnoy, eheh.
