The All Star Jam was an amazing set that could never be duplicated. The reason "The Final Countdown" is in there twice is because Floor's mic kept on messing up the first time, so we got her to do it again.

It was. The best covers were "Welcome Home" (I swear, King Diamond's band could go on tour with Nils as vocals instead of cancelling the tour, and the live effect would still be the same) and "Youth Gone Wild" (I had talked to Claudio beforehand asking if he was going to do Bathory, which I had a strange feeling he was - he said he was going to do a U.S. Hard Rock group. I really did NOT see that one coming!)

"Metal Gods" and "Balls To The Wall" were great covers, too. Ugh, such a great weekend of metal. I can't wait for next year.

[Firewind]

Sweeeet.

All the rest of the crap should've not been played in favor of songs like Summer's Rain, When the Crowds are Gone, St. Patrick's, Tonight He Grins Again, etc.

[JuuKun]

Otis Redding.

My mistake.

That set blows. What's with the all the Beatles shit? At PPUK this year he did the Streets album in it's entirety. Now that ruled.

I wasn't there for it, as it was an 18+ show. I hear it was a great show, setlist or not.

This must have been amazing!

It was. Floor and Ralf...wow!

Lol, no big stretch there then!

lol, yeah. He did, obviously, nail it.

I'm not sure how much singing he did on that one, being that it's an instrumental.
