This was the first show by the new band featuring Michael Kiske. This is the first time Kiske has immersed himself in a complete band set up in many years, and will actually be performing live on a somewhat regular basis with it. This was the first time Kiske has done a live show in... SEVENTEEN YEARS.

Band line-up:
Michael Kiske: Vocals, Rhythm Guitar
Dennis Ward: Bass, Backing Vocals
Mandy Meyer: Guitars
Kosta Zafiriou - Drums

01. Cross The Line (Place Vendome)
02. I'll Be Gone (Place Vendome))
03. I'll Be Waiting (Place Vendome)
04. Set Me Free (Place Vendome)
05. My Guardian Angel (Place Vendome)
06. Too Late (Place Vendome)
07. 6/8 Souls Alive (New Song)
08. Completely Breathless (Place Vendome)
09. Sign Of The Times (Place Vendome)
10. Streets of Fire (Place Vendome)
11. The Setting Sun (Place Vendome)
12. Follow Me (Place Vendome)
13. Kids Of The Century (Helloween)
14. A Little Time (Helloween)
15. 6/8 Souls Alive (reprise)
16. Cross The Line (reprise)

Gotta be honest, way more Place Vendome songs than I expected, but I like the albums a decent amount, so not really complaining (not that I'm gonna see this anyway). I just figured there would be more new, original material here.

There's video on YouTube (or at the link) if anyone feels like checking it out.

well judging by the crappy video quality of A Little Time...Kiske sounds pretty good

they should bust out future world or something that would be cool. or You Always Walk Alone

Saw this a couple of days ago. Massively disappointed. I can't work out why they're taking so long to get any Unisonic material sorted.

These shows are not Unisonic shows. They're Place Vendome shows. Switching to Epica this week at Sweden Rock because of this set. I wanted to hear new Unisonic material.

I think the reason they're doing those 2 Helloween tunes is because Kiske wrote them.

Are you actually expecting the new Unisonic material to sound much different than Place Vendome? I'm not.

I'm open to the possibility. Either way, I still wanted to hear some. That's the whole point in booking Unisonic... to hear Unisonic songs. If they aren't going to play any (well, one), booking them is pointless.

My understanding is these weren't so much a reprise as a complete second take for filming purposes?

I agree, but nevertheless I'd still be planning on seeing them. Mostly just because I absolutely love the song "Cross the line" from the first Place Vendome album.

I totally advise Kiske fans to still see them. If for no other reason than he's a lazy fucker and you might not get the chance again.

For people casually interested in the new band, waste of time. I just wish someone better than Epica were playing opposite.
