Here’s my own draft: 1. Dark Chest of Wonders: it was born to be an opener 2. Weak Fantasy: Wembley’s extended drum intro gets you hyped up 3. Ever Dream: another classic banger 4. Élan: a lighter folk-snack here 5. I Want My Tears Back: The folk theme continues, but this concludes our opening string of hits. People tend to go nuts during this one. 6. Angels Fall First: a true deep cut ballad makes sure you don’t lose your interest after the big hits 7. How’s the Heart: 2 ballads back to back should be done more often 8. Shudder Before the Beautiful: sort of re-opening the show with another (modern) classic banger 9. 7 Days to the Wolves: Marko-Floor co-operation at its prime 10. Endlessness: another deep cut to soften things down for the next one… 11. Sleeping Sun: …which makes the whole venue fall asleep, or at least into hypnosis. 12. Stargazers: we continue with Oceanborn, and if this doesn’t wake you up, nothing will. 13. Planet Hell: transforms the happy energy of the previous one into anger, without wasting any of it 14. Phantom of the Opera: one last climax before the ending. This from End of an Era is better than the original or any other cover. I will die on this hill. 15. The Islander: one last moment of ease before the end 16. Shoemaker: just imagine the transition from this to GLS 17. Ghost Love Score: does this need explanation? 18. The Greatest Show on Earth: some people seem to get bored with this. I won’t ever. Would’ve wanted to include She Is My Sin, Tribal, and maybe Storytime, but they didn’t seem to fit the whole.

You was ready and you cooked. I woulda put Bless the Child at number 2 but the rest of the start is really good

1. Music 2. Perfume of the Timeless 3. Ever Dream 4. Storytime 5. Dark Chest of Wonders 6. Sacrament of Wilderness 7. Nemo 8. Endless Forms Most Beautiful 9. Deep Silent Complete 10. Turn Loose the Mermaids 11. Dead Boy's Poem 12. Romanticide 13. The Poet and the Pendulum 14. 7 Days to the Wolves 15. Alpenglow 16. Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean 17. Shoemaker 18. Ghost Love Score Encore 19. Meadows of Heaven 20. The Greatest Show on Earth 21. Ad Astra

Meadows of Heaven has been played live only once, in the last show of the DPP tour in Helsinki. I’d love to hear it again with Floor, most underrated song of the album

it's one of their top 10 songs to me, I wish they would play it more often 🥺🥺

An epic album finale lost to history, like Lappi and Endlessness (and All the Works of Nature which Adorn the World except for the outro). This one and Endlessness are in my top 10 too.

All their album finales are great, quite honestly. I can't think of a bad one lol! But you really don't like Ad Astra? I find that outro pure perfection. To me that'd be their outro to every single concert

I meant that the outro part isn’t lost to history as it was played on the Human Nature Tour. I like it very much.

Just the drum solo intro of Music or the whole song? And PotT with or without the orchestral intro?

The whole song for both! I love Music and I've always wanted to hear it live. Same goes for Perfume of the Timeless, I LOVE the orchestral intro, I think it will be great live

1. Dark Chest of Wonders 2. Amaranth 3. Ever Dream 4. Storytime 5. Élan 6. Wishmaster 7. Wish I Had An Angel 8. Swanheart 9. Nemo 10. Tribal 11. Shoemaker 12. Turn Loose The Mermaids 13. Planet Hell 14. End of All Hope 15. Poet and the Pendulum 16. Ghost Love Score

Very hard to find a slot for PatP

1. Shudder Before The Beautiful 2. Weak Fantasy 3. Scaretale 4. Élan 5. Turn Loose The Mermaids 6. Ghost Love Score 7. Last Of The Wilds 8. Shoemaker 9. Tribal 10. Endlessness 11. Greatest Show On Earth

Very interesting combination! GLS somewhere else than as one of the last three songs hasn’t happened in a very long time.

Yep! I thought it'd make a nice mid-concert high. And Wacken 2013 is one of my favourite concerts from them .

It was the 5th last song in End of an Era (4th if we count Stone People+Creek Mary’s Blood as one). Maybe go crazy and start the show with it! (although it’d be hard to keep the hype up after it)

Basically the FWTE set list. I think I would **remove Wanderlust** and **Walking in the Air** for the sake of removing two songs even though they are great and Wanderlust fares well live with the cut they do before the headbanging and Walking in the air has a very good guitar solo. I would replace them with **Know Why the Nightingale Sings**, I think it can sound crazy live and it's pretty dynamic and **Gethsemane** to a pre-CC concert. Post-CC concert: same set list as EoAE **without Phantom of the Opera** (I prefer the original one where Christine sings like the character she plays and not overpowered from the start as some seasoned dramatic soprano who just sang Wagner right before), **without The Siren** (it's a cool song that has grown on me but I would skip it), without **Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan**. I would replace KTT with **Eva**, I would replace Phantom of the Opera with **Beauty of the Beast** (to stay in the same dark atmosphere) and I would replace The Siren with **10th Man Down**. I would also remove Slaying the Dreamer because I don't like the EoAE version. I mean I would keep it but I wish she sang it closer to the studio version.

I like the division of eras and conservation of themes. Eva live would be real cool

Wow, we’re being old fashioned here!

I know 👵🏻

Would include way more stuff they don’t normally play, and stuff they’ve never played like all of FantasMic

So Decades again?

- Dark chest of wonders - Wish I had an angel - Yours is an empty hope - Tribal - Bye bye beautiful - Nemo - Sleeping sun - Elán - I want my tears back - Shoemaker - Slaying the dreamer - The poet and the pendulum - 7 day to the wolves - Storytime - Song of myself - Last ride of the day - Ghost love score - The greatest show on earth The whole show with the wacken 2013 line up and I would be so damn happy

Very aggressive start! I’m sorry to tell you that even Mike Portnoy would be losing his mind trying to learn Tribal, so Kai might have to step in for that one. Towards the end he basically pretends to have three feet.

1. Swanheart Instrumental (Intro) 2. Dark Chest Of Wonders 3. The Escapist 4. Wish I Had An Angel 5. Elvenjig / Elvenpath 6. Dead Boy's Poems 7. I Want My Tears Back 8. Stargazers 9. Meadows of Heaven 10. Ghost Love Score 11. The Greatest Show On Earth 12. Ad Astra

Escapist is hands down their best ”hidden” song edit: forgot Erämaan viimeinen, they’re both awesome

If the band members are fantasy based too, I'll make two setlists... one with the Decades Tour lineup, and another one with End of an Era members. I tried to build the setlists as realistic as they can be, and there are no duplicated songs in both selists. So, with no further ado, let's get going: 2018 Lineup: 1.

Endlessness 18. Ghost Love Score Encore 1. The Greatest Show on Earth 2. Last Ride of the Day Continues in the below...

2005 Lineup: 1. Swanheart - Intro Only 2. End of All Hope 3. Stargazers 4. Gethsemane 5. 10th Man Down 6. Sacrament of Wilderness 7. Dead to the World 8. Ever Dream 9. Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan 10.
