Did they do any new material? I believe they were supposed to be debuting the new album this time around,but maybe that's the spring tour i'm thinking of. (they are sounding good here on the old stuff,just wonderin'.)

Woody, about 2/3 of the new FFH CD is now being performed live. I don't like to give away setlists but you could PM Miguel if you wanted the exact tracks.

Jim is right, it's about 2/3 of the new album. Hopefully it will be more on the next leg or even sooner(?)... Sure I would love to hear all of it live but the choice of songs was very nice in any way!
Let's stay tuned for the next shows!

Very cool! Thanks for the info Jim (and as always, thanks Miguel!)
I would be very interested to see the new material live. It is always enlightening to SEE new stuff being played and in particular, see and hear the vocals...Yes is so good witheir live vocals (Chris and Steve are so under-rated as vocalists!)

It seems we got some extra luck at least - they played all of the songs in Portugal whereas on the following shows they are dropping one or two.
Of course I wish they still will be able to add more from FFH

Thanks everyone!

Maybe because Chris and company figured you were in the audience....? :wink:

Did you get to spend some time with Chris? (I sure hope he knows about your amazing talent and hard work!)

It was the second time that I got first row tickets in front of Chris. The first time was in 2000 in the other "Coliseu" in Porto.
Chris puts a show for everyone and enjoys looking at the fans and having a good time onstage. I brought my t-shirt with the FooW back cover art that I also used in 2001and he recognized it - I will always a be fanboy :)

P.S. Steve - I had the chance to speak to him occasionally during their stay in Portugal. I was working as an assistant in the rehearsals so I really had to keep my mind focused on working on the band and crew needs.
P.S. Tom - I will think that's true, though I know it was just because they started the tour here. Ok maybe they started here because of me ;)
