STRATOVARIUS / LACRIMOSA
Coca Cola Auditorium
Monterrey Mexico
Sept 12th 2005
Attendance 3000
Yes...it's a strange combination, but was a great and powerful concert, was funny to see power metal fans mixed with dark, goth and teenagers vampires, but all supporting and screaming louder for both bands. Some comments:
1.- The Strato setlist was exactly the same that Glenn puts in other thread, but in different order.
2.- Before the Strato set , two big screens projects a 15 minutes movie, about the Strato 2005 tour, with many shots from the band departing from Finland, the surprise gig in Wacken, shots from arriving to Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and the band doing tourism in these countries, swimming at hotel's pools, Of Course there was shots from the arriving to Mexico since the airplane. More shots of concert in Guadalajara, and the arriving to Monterrey. here the movie stops, displaying a caption: "SCREAMING FOR US MONTERREY!" Was a great intro to Maniac Dance, and the fans shouting louder receiving the band. (we can expect the same display next saturday: SCREAMING FOR US ATLANTA!
)
3.- The show was great! lots of energy, Kotipelto it's a great frontman, Tolkki (with short hair and overweight) perfect!, the new bassist making headbanging lots of times with great energy.
4.- Kotipelto many times greet us in spanish (good spanish), also, during the choirs in Forever, Kotipleto ask us to counting in Finnish!! (he shows us) hahaha, one, two, three, four, oohhh ohhhh !!! but in finnish!
5.- The rest we will see next saturday !
6.- Lacrimosa was great too they sang "durch nach und flut" some parts IN SPANISH!!!!!! wow !! the fans singing louder the choirs in our language and becomes crazy
7.- A recognition and gratefulness to Anne Nurmi, by the effort to sing to us, to dance and to play the keyboards to us, with 5 months of pregnancy, she was great !
8.- If you are interested you can see some pictures here:
