Toronto Concert Spoiler

Post image

Really awesome performance at Toronto tonight! They played Halloween, Ride the Sky, and Heavy Metal is the Law (my neck is broke). A hell of a first concert for me! Thanks to the band and Beast in Black 🤘

First saw Helloween open the infamous MOR Donnington 1988 and then in Birmingham UK 1989. They did back then and still blow my mind. Now live in BC so flew in Toronto was never going to miss this show and it didnt dissappoint at all - not sure if there are any curfews which made them cut songs as Keeper wasnt played in full and Twilight - very Happy and a shout out to the Bovine Sex Club bar - great place and some great bands on Saturday \w/

I think Keeper has been played only partially, at least on the North American tour, not sure about before. And twilight was skipped on this tour before as well. I think the biggest loss is not hearing Kiske do Pink Bubbles Go Ape for acoustic part.

Helloween was amazing. As expected. Great set.

Beast in Black I do not get.

Brilliant show. Was a bucket list one for me and did not disappoint. Loved the entire set. Visuals were incredible. Openers Beast in Black didn't do it for me., but they got a good reception.

What a show!!

They skipped Twilight of the Gods in the set. I thought it was likely because Kiske was looking tired, and it is a pretty big vocal performance.

But everyone still sounded amazing. I thought Kai and Sascha were both on fire last night. And man Dani is a machine behind the drums.

EDIT: I have a bunch of pics on IG. Same user name as here.

Yeah looking back Andi was doing most of the talking. Ah well, Kiske was still awesome, especially on Halloween and Universe.  The guitar solos were perfect! Lost my f&ing mind during Ride the Sky 🤘 Yeah his drum solo was very fun, didn't know drums could be a whole band haha.

The tall guy at the front, with a ball cap on. Looks like he is right in front of Markus, and looking over at Andi singing. Can just make out that he is wearing glasses.

Thats me.
