The Scarecrow is a masterpiece. Thanks Tobias for the greatest songs in the world of power metal.

[@gonzaloaguila5740]

Masterpiece querido

[@nirmalpaul13]

Tobias: lets guest musicians take the limelight. Also Tobias: does 75% of the work. So underrated and underappreciated.

[@arpitabrahmachari7649]

I mean... He does have $10 million in his bank

[@RebelSeb]

Tobias is one of my heroes. That man has brought me so much joy through the years. Long may he go on making music like the badass bard that he is!

[@victor94bl]

People who think Tobias sings bad here, dont know how difficult is to sign so many years at these level. He is a great singer. Jorn is a fucking beast.

[@Mikey-1990]

Víctor Agreed. I personally think after all these years they still sound really good. Everyone's comparing this to the 2008 performance, but that was nearly a decade ago by the time they did this show. Also, the mix/mastering here to me just feels a bit off like a lack of reverb or something.

[@avenger007007]

Until they have video proof of them singing live on stage, then they have no merit to talk. I personally only recently came across this group, but can not get enough of them.

[@incubusprime2578]

Considering Tobias is singing not only really fucking powerfully, he's also doing it in his second language, which is impressive in it's own right. I think his voice is spot on here.

[@MrGFG003]

@@incubusprime2578 Not to mention, unlike a number of artists, Tobias does not change the actual notes of his songs. They remain on the original tone.

[@jonmcg1993]

@@Mikey-1990 It doesn't sound like any post processing effects from this recording. The one from 2008 captured it all. This is just a sterile recording.

I'm just a loser in the game of love I'm just a stray boy in the shade And how I wish to know what love is like To find someone to contemplate There's a voice and a million answers to the questions I don't ask A demon, I've got to contain When I'm walking through the fen Getting deep into the black Whispers I can't restrain Don't give in Rise to fame, time will come Make your claim, time has come For the crow to fly away So you're an angel meant to walk down here And you believe it's all divine And you don't play by all those temporal rules You watch the world begin to die Alright, when the lamb's been torn to pieces I've been crashing from the sky Fallen to care for the prey They put a spoke right in your wheel I'm the one to dare the weak To push you all over the pain You give in, oh Rise to fame Time will come Make your claim Time has come For the crow to fly away I close my eyes and I see what's coming my way He's got treasure in his eyes that he's gonna turn to clay Hm, I'm a stranger I'm a changer And I'm danger, maybe Fallen angel, waiting for the prey The devil has come to take a maimed away Penetration of the twisted mind The evil is out for the weak and blind I can feel it in your voice Ever so sweet, no Do I really have a choice? No, no, no! Oh, you burn your feet on unholy ground You roam the barren wicked plains abound In evil eyes and evil speak Abound in all you evil freaks When you say it's all divine and meant to be What about your flesh and blood and defiers like me? Their evil eyes are looking down on you And those who don't are losing sight of you Face the rage to chase away The specter of disgrace and shame Withered roses dying on the ledge A withered dreamer standing on the edge You dream of love, wake up to pain You're better off to join in my game She'll be better off to cry contrite tears One day she'll wonder why she had to let you disappear Oh dear Rise to fame (your time has come) Time will come (to take the sun) Make your claim (you're drawn to the sound) Time has come (you're leaving ground) Rise to fame (the flight of the crow) Time will come (cross the line) Time will come Your time has come (for the crow to fly away) It's a flight to hell Can you hear the bell? The devil has come To take your soul away It's a flight to hell, alright I'm a stranger I'm a changer And I'm danger Fallen angel Waiting for the prey...

Obviously Tobias is getting older..anche the voice too, but he has nothing to prove with many many years of his masterpieces. This is life, he can't sing like twenty years ago. There's nothing wrong. He's a beast anyway

[@MissionFreiheit]

Compare the part at 8:38 in this performance to the same part in the Flying Opera Performance at Wacken 2008 and you have a perfect example of why you should not use a click track when you have musicians that can groove together. There is energy building up and they want to speed it up but they are held back by the metronome. Feels like someone is stepping on the breaks. I love Avantasia but they sound better when they're not playing on a click track. It's part of what makes 2008s performance of the same song _magical_ while this is just _good_

[@shyrulito]

PULENTO

[@gerdokurt]

1) Band: They are real musicians. There is no backtracking and shit like that. They freestyle their solo parts, if it`s shorter it`s shorter, if it`s longer it`s longer, if it`s different it`s different. There is nothing wrong with the solos and the band here. 2) Vocals: I think it`s common knowledge and fair to say that Tobias is decent, but he isnt (and never was) a top tier vocalist. Neither in early Edguy nor in Avantasia. Dont act like he is an old man, he is 42. Thats not the age when singer lose their voice. But it`s not a problem. Most bands dont have a top tier vocalist. He is an excellent composer and charismatic frontman, there is no need to talk bad about his vocals!

[@SmokeRingHalo]

Big Avantasia fan but they just don't sound good here. Vocals seem roached and the music is off somewhat. Prior performances are superior, watch them instead.

[@DandyCandy1]

I'm inclined to think it has to do with poor mix and mastering, there's literally no reverb on vocals and much of it is buried in the mix, wish they'd hire sound engineer from 2008. However Wacken 2011 performance sounded the worst of them all.

[@darkening78]

They had also done a full world tour by then, ending it off with aWacken Open Air Concert, so it's not that surprising that the vocals aren't at their best.

[@Manonsilvermountain]

Good observation, in Flying Opera Tobias had a flu and his voice was not perfect, yet the band and Jørn performed flawlessly, here Tobias has good control, but the band seems not in sync.
