More Than Meets The Eye

[FalconONE]

Just a question : When was the last time they played More Than Meets The Eye ?
This song is just a killer track.. and the solo is beautiful.. great chorus..

[Ricardo]

Yes, it's a great song. As far as I know they played it for the last time in Taichung, Taiwan on the 8th December 1990.

Definitely late on the Out of This World tour and maybe a few times in between OOTW and Prisoners in Paradise. It's a good song, but I'm sure too "pop" for John Norum to be willing to play these days.

Why not for Norum? With a new arrangement, Superstitious is also Pop for me, but they´re still playing it.

Exactly!! And taking in mind that they play alot of the OOTW album (which suprises me alot with Norum back in the band) they should play 'More than meets the eye' instead of the more often played songs from that album like 'Let the good times rock' and 'Sign of the times'. Not that they are bad songs but they can use some rest I think.

I think Norum puts up with some of the OOTW songs. "Sign of the Times" is harder live and then they LTGTR and Superstitious. They had been playing Ready of Not, but it and LTGTR are in & out of the set some nights. Norum does not like the "Prisoners" album, which is why they don't play much off it. But, since TFC and OOTW are their two most poplular albums, they have to play some tunes from OOTW.

That's why I say; play MTMTE off of OOTW instead of LTGTR or SOTT. I know Norum doesn't like the Prisoners album that much (I think he is right for most of the songs) so it was nice to hear Seventh sign at Sweden Rock! Still i think more off of the Wings album must be played!!!!!

True, but for Norum, I think MTMTE is too 80's keyboard/synth driven of a song for his liking. Who knows though.
