Extreme SMF Posts: 190 Location: Austria | I just came back from my 9th (and hopefully not the last) TS show since 2003 in Seebronn! After my last 2 gigs being more intimate shows in Glasgow and Manchester, it now was a open air show again! The festival site was somewhere in the middle of the fields! Some farmer probably made a lot of money by lending the fields! Anway, due to it the being the third headlining show since '03, in the south of Germany, they tried to mix some things up! Instead of the 1-2-3 punch of WYDKSCHY, TKAB and SH, they started with "Come out and play"... which was interesting (thanks, for playing that song though)! There also was no shouted introduction of the band! I don't know... I prefer the usual opening! SH was sadly missed! My mind is kinda jelly know, too much headbanging... so I can't really say what they played after, but I think it was TKAB! There was less talk and more songs (Dee did make fun though of some guys wearing orange hats and to prove his point he put one on himself... I hope someone made a picture)... unfortunately TS had to hurry, due to Wishbone Ash being late on stage and there being a curfew (he put the promoter on stage to tell him how fucked up it is that the headliner has to cut his set short, due to some opening bands being late... and I agree).... apart from that the show was great though, as usual! They played some songs which I hadn't seen in quite a while or never before... the set list goes something like this... in no particular order Come out and play The kids are back Under the blade Shoot 'em down The fire still burns We're gonna make it Tear it loose Knife in the back I believe in Rock n' Roll I am, I'm me Burn in hell You can't stop Rock n' Roll The price I wanna rock We're not gonna take it The beast It's only rock n' roll Tear it loose SMF It was awesome to see IBIRR and TFSB again! Also this time, unlike the shows in Glasgow and Manchester, where some idiots were pushing like there was no tomorrow, this time nobody even touched you! You could freely move, bang and jump in the front rows... that was awesome! After the show I briefly met Funtazia, who's one lucky guy, and his sister! I guess he has a tale to tell when he's back home! | ||

Front Row Location: CT, of course! | Patrick, Sounds like a great set list, and glad you had good ol' head bangin' time. Don't know how I would react to not hearing WYDK as the opening song. Guess the boyz gotta keep it fresh and throw a curve ball every now and then. Get some rest and if need be, get to a chiropractor. I always find that helps with TSRIs (Twisted Sister Related Injuries)! DCT | ||

Nearly A Band Member Posts: 513 Location: New Fuckin Yawk | WOW...that sounds like a kick ass setlist. But for them to open without "What You Don't Know" is odd. But hey, like the Mayor said, sometimes they like to keep it fresh and throw a curveball. Glad you and all the other German SMF's had a headbangin blast. It's way past my years for me to headbang....LOL | ||

Don't know how I would react to not hearing WYDK as the opening song. Yeah, I'm glad I couldn't see the look on my face! Guess the boyz gotta keep it fresh and throw a curve ball every now and then. Get some rest and if need be, get to a chiropractor. I always find that helps with TSRIs (Twisted Sister Related Injuries)! Thanks for the advice! Will do!

Serious SMF Posts: 40 | I think it is great that they opened with Come out and Play. Sounds like a great set list. It was time for a change, I think. Thanx for the review. | ||

Full-On SMF Posts: 61 | I remember on the Stay Hungry tour they opened with "Stay Hungry" and on the Come Out Play tour it ws obviously "Come Out And Play." On the Love Is For Suckers tour is was the song "Tonight." | ||

Serious SMF Posts: 40 | I remember that too, infact those were the first three TS shows I saw. All great opening songs. | ||

Nearly A Band Member Posts: 717 Location: Chicago | Not having "What You don't Know" would be a bit strange but other than that, great set list! I haven't seen them open with "Come Out And Play" since that tour!! That was a great opener for that tour! They opened with "Stay Hungry" during that tour, which was cool, but I still think "WYDK" is the greatest opener for a TS show. Very cool to see them pull out "Tear It Loose" and "Knife in the Back", though! Awesome! | ||

I loved to see that band again. They are soooo great. Dee is such a great entertainer. And of course I was happy to see Daniel Stanton again. It´s hard to concentrate on the band, when he is on stage, too! Hope to enjoy the guys again soon! | |||

Dee did make fun though of some guys wearing orange hats and to prove his point he put one on himself... I hope someone made a picture I've got no picture of Dee with the stupid Jägermeister hat, but lots and lots of others, I've uploaded some into this photo album (inlcuding a shot with the orgaizer, Horst Odermatt, when Dee criticised him for having to cut the headliners set short). cheers, &rw | |||
