Stein's option is also a possibility and sounds cool to me. I think 5 to 10 is a fair number of shows to be honest. They constantly say that they want to keep it small and I think that's cool. And in that way of thinking I don't think that they choose big venues to play those gigs. Maybe only in Sweden. But on the other hand it would be incredibly cool if they play the Hammersmith.

Another option would be to play the other songs first, and then play the album tracklist in reverse order, like Metallica did when they played The Black Album live in 2012. That means they would start the TFC album set with "Love Chaser" and end with "The Final Countdown".  I think Stein's option is really good! I've just found this interview www.goldminemag.com/article/band-europe-goes-beyond-final-countdownand Joey says they are planning only between 5 to 10 shows, aren't they too few??? In this case, I hope they'll play one concert per country in very big venues. They spoke about Paris and London. But there'll be Sweden, for sure. I bet there'll be Italy and Spain, too, because Europe is always very welcomed in these countries. And then, maybe Germany ? because the new label is german, isn't it ? Anyway, that's far better than for WOK celebration, where they played the special set only in one show in Sweden ! I've heard one of EUROPE members speak about an acoustic show. I would LOVE to attend a Europe acoustic show, but not for this circumstance. So, I hope they won't do it for the TFC celebration : I want to see "Heart of stone" in its real version !!  Well, right now, we can be sure of only one thing : Europe will play "The Final Countdown", for sure !  |

Well, right now, we can be sure of only one thing : Europe will play "The Final Countdown", for sure ! Europe played WOT in these 7 cities: 03/03/14 Waterfront / Stockholm / SWEDEN 05/03/14 Folkets Hus / Umea / Idun / SWEDEN 07/03/14 Kulturens Hus / Lulea / SWEDEN 08/03/14 Tonhallen / Sundsvall / SWEDEN 09/01/15 Club Citta / Kawasaki / JAPAN 13/01/15 Bottom Line / Nagoya / JAPAN 14/01/15 Namba Hatch / Osaka / JAPAN And then they said they didn't play it more because that album wasn't known in other countries when they released it. If they play TFC in 5 to 10 cities they should at least release a DVD of one of them. |

tracklist in reverse order That means they would start the TFC album set with "Love Chaser" and end with "The Final Countdown". i don't think that's the best option. that means CARRIE (a slow ballad) and DANGER would be the last tracks before TFC. i prefer the "party killers" at the end of the set, songs like CHEROKEE or ROCK THE NIGHT which many people know and more up-tempo.  |

Although for the early gigs on the 1987 tour, "Wings of Tomorrow" was number 2 (just like in 1986 with Norum) and "Danger on the Track" was number 3. But after a while they decided to drop "Wings" and have "Danger" as song number 2 instead, as shown on the The Final Countdown World Tour VHS tape recorded at Hammersmith in London, for instance. |

It will be a great concert the whole album "The Final Countdown" live!! I am particularly interested in hearing "Ninja" and "Heart of Stone"  magical, ... Ian talked about Paris and London, I hope to these two cities join other like Madrid, Barcelona, Milan e.g... and would be a tour of major European cities. I bet that Sweden is also in their dates ... We'll see! Hopefully soon be announce it! I can't wait  |
