Now that's the next step : EUROPE world tour is beginning soon, for true : less than a month !  Michaela already posted the link for the trailer in another thread : That thread was about the tourdates. But we could begin a new thread about the tour itself... So, what do we expect ? ...A blast, of course, as usual with EUROPE.  New songs, too. We're all curious about the setlist, probably. Questions about little details : Which prelude, Which clothes for JTempest, Members solos or not... etc . It's time to talk about all those "essential"  things. |

That's a good idea! I can tell you what I have understood, between the lines, from Joey when I asked him the question in Munich about the songs from BOB that are going to be played in the upcoming BOB tour. All those already inserted in their festivals' show are confirmed, so: "Riches To Rags" "Not Supposed To Sing The Blues" "Firebox" "Demon Head" He said they could add 2-3 more songs. Then these two should be almost certain (he mentioned Doghouse directly): "Doghouse" "Drink And A Smile" (I am sure this is something Joey wants to do and they are playing it already during acoustic sessions) I asked if the third song added could be Bag Of Bones and he tried to dodge the question...answering yeah, maybe, we will see... The BIG QUESTION MARK of course - but you would agree that I couldn't ask him directly - is: will he change that shirt in BOB tour??!!?  |

I'm a bit disappointed about the song "Bag of Bones" that could be not in the setlist... Because in a previous interview, JTempest said it would be in the BOB tour. But I won't be completely surprised if they don't add it to the setlist actually : I've always thought this fabulous song would be very very difficult to play live. And there's the problem of the Bonamassa part : who would play it ? Norum said many times he couldn't play the slide guitar... So how could they do it live ? Using a tape and telling the audience the great Bonamassa was playing it on the album  ? Well, so probably it won't be played during the tour. But what a pity ! This song is a gem.  |

I´m expecting more new songs in the setlist, as they are saying in a lot of recent interviews. I will love to hear "Bag Of Bones", "My Woman My Friend" or "Mercy You, Mercy Me" instead of "Carrie" or "Superstitious". And a proper John Norum solo or one of his solo songs will be great also!!! Longing for the show here in Buenos Aires, and then, having a blast with a group of my best friends: we´re traveling to see 3 shows in Chile (because they will perform only 1 in Argentina, and that´s not enough!!!). I will post my pics and reports here of course!!!  |

So good you're attending so many shows Fernanda! They are never, never ENOUGH! And here we will keep waiting for your reports with bated breath!!! Have a wonderful time  and let us know... !!! |

Because the 3 first ones, you enjoy completely, and the last one, you're a bit tired of all of this... then, you have your fill of EUROPE when it's finished... And you come back home, thinking : "I'm happy to return in my house and sleep and rest"...  |

In a few days, we'll know the setlist... Concerning the new songs they'll add, everything is done now : they have rehearsed ; no more time for changing the content !!! I'm happy there'll be "Doghouse" : one of my very favorite live, like Gonna get ready in 2010, I must say. These 2 songs litterally bring me away, and give so much positive energy ! If they play "Drink and a smile", I hope it'll be an instrumental only. Because I LOVE the music part of this song ; but I DETEST the lyrics -among the most depressing I've ever heard !- and I don't like at all JT voice on this song... ( All right, good Europe fans, don't pillory me for what I've said here : that's just my opinion !!! ) And what I'd like, too, is a new prelude : the one they used during the summer tour just "killed" the intro of "Riches to rags", IMO... I've always thought this weird pre-recorded prelude only weakened this extraordinary song... "Riches to Rags" is among my favorites, too ! I've read somewhere there'll be a surprise for south-american tour : wonder which one |

So, in Buenos Aires, They have played the song Bag of Bones. Don't know for the other new songs, yet... it's too early, fans are still sleeping I've listened to Riches to rags on youtube, and it appears EUROPE didn't changed the prelude.  Well, I'm not fond of this one...) |

They played 6 new songs in Brazil: - Riches to Rags - Not Supposed to Sing the Blues - Firebox - Demon Head - Bag of Bones - Doghouse Cool, isn't it? They should have changed the old songs, in my opinion... but it's difficult to please everyone. |

I hope for some variation when it comes to choosing old songs. Instead of playing "Scream of Anger" every gig, for example, they could swap it out with "Stormwind" some gigs and "Wings of Tomorrow" other gigs. Same thing with "Let the Good Times Rock", it could be swapped out with "More Than Meets the Eye" some gigs and "Ready or Not" other gigs.
Do I think it will happen? Probably not, but one can only hope.
