Yeah, they didn't do either Mystery or One Night last year, so I've got pretty high hopes to hear something like that if the set is Sabbath-less again.

I love to hear "As long as it's not about love". Very Happy

I just got Magica recently and I really like it.
I am going crazy if I cannot listen to this song every day.

Please sing this song, Ronnie !!!
I love this song. Exclamation

For Rainbow songs I want to hear Stargazer and Gates of Babylon for sure. Lets face it, anything at all from "Rising" would be fantastic! Greensleeves was mentioned in another thread (YES!) and I'm going to suggest Temple of the King as a possibility simply because they played it at Donington years ago. Of the current touring line up Ronnie is the only band member who played that gig, but it might suggest that he likes the song.
We know which Dio songs will definitely be played, but of the others I want Evil Eyes, Challis, As Long as it's Not About Love, Just Another Day, and, to let Doug play one of his own solos, Push.
I'd love to hear an Elf song thrown in as a surprise (my choices would be Black Swampy Water or Trying to Burn the Sun) but that's maybe pushing it a bit.
Aw, I don't know! There's so many albums I haven't considered yet - my setlist would have them on stage for 5 hours! I'll be there regardless, and whatever they play it will be fantastic.

I'd like to hear something along the lines of Evil or divine, but with something from Sacred heart (Sacred heart, Fallen angels, Shoot shoot, perhaps even Hungry for heaven), The last in line (Evil eyes, One night in the city, Mystery), and Dream evil (All the fools sailed away). And yes of course the usual selection from Holy diver and The last in line one usually gets. As Doug Aldrich is going to be playing, something from Killing the dragon is also in order (Killing the dragon, Throw away the children).
I hope to hear mostly Dio songs, although Doug plays Rainbow and Black Sabbath songs extremely well on Evil or divine. But still I would more than willingly trade Man on the silver mountain for Evil eyes, Sacred heart, or Fallen angels... simply because one hears the Rainbow classics quite a lot on live albums/dvds. Also maybe it would be possible to skip some of the Sabbath classics as the Heaven and hell tour has just ended (seen them last summer), and, you may have already guessed, play some Dio songs instead.
But if they insist on playing Children of the sea, I won't complain...

Cheers!
