What a great surprise was this Avantasia tour! |
|||||||
More albums have been recorded since, and Avantasia made a short summer tour in 2008 with some of the singers, but not including Michael Kiske. |
|||||||
In 2010, with the new album Angel Of Babylon, Avantasia decided to tour again... but this time they were playing headlining shows instead of festivals... and it was announced that Michael Kiske was going to tour with them! |
|||||||
So, Avantasia were playing a historical, something not to be missed for a fan living nearby the scheduled cities on tour. |
|||||||
The show started with the song Twisted Mind, only with Tobias Sammet on vocals. |
|||||||
Jørn also sang Serpents in Paradise with Tobias, and the lyrics |
|||||||
Then we heard the famous Prelude, intro to The Metal Opera, and we all knew what was coming next! |
|||||||
And then another former Helloween singer came on stage! The one and only Kai Hansen from Gamma Ray! |
|||||||
Finally, Amanda Sommerville came to the front of the stage to sing the lead parts of Farewell, certainly one of the most beautiful Avantasia songs, originally recorded by Sharon Den Adel from Within Temptation. The last songs of the eveing were played with another guitarrist, in addition to Sasha Paeth and Olliver Hartmann: Kai Hansen brought with his old classic pink ESP Flying V-styled guitar ! Imagine what I felt when I saw him playing side by side with Kiske! |
|||||||
During the whole show, the sound was OK but not really great. The lights were perfect, and the audience responded as the band deserved it: All musicians delivered a first class performance. The only negative thing I'd say about this concert is that the stage set was only a backdrop with cover of The Scarecrow album. Thy should have made something more special. After all, they're the ones who titled their first two albums "The Metal Opera"! Maybe they will at Wacken they will?... |

This was without any doubt a magical evening, a big party, and a night to remember forever.But the dream was not over... Avantasia's concert in Fulda was just a couple of weeks away!
