Setlistt

[AcousticFuneral]

Yeah just saw that I'd be over the moon if I heard that setlist. Please don't drop resurrection and stigmata.

[PTEraser]

They also played Rebel Yell

[PTEraser]

I wish they played WLADE and just for the kick of it - The Beginning of the End (Not very likely to happen though!)

[SIRJARVIS01]

They need to put more rarities on that set
I wanna hear them encore with something besides Rebel yell

[The-Reaper]

I'm hoping for more rarities for such a long time now. But I think some things never change.

Still this setlist is better then what we got to Screamworks and partly ToT times.

Looking forward to it.

Does anyone know how much USD tickets are going for? I don't have a job right now, so I need to know how much to scrounge and save for.

Which event are you looking into going to?
I guarantee some will sell out faster than others thank God the band is having two stops in California

Houston or Dallas, I'm in Austin.

[Kir]

I went to the concert in Barcelona. They played WLADE as the last song, just after Rebel Yell. Ville forgot some verses from Bleed Well. I can confirm Stigmata Diaboli too. Nice jam in Wicked Game, as usual.

I cried when they played Ressurection.

Ville said: "Tonight is so special because it's the last time HIM will play in Barcelona. Well... at least as HIM."

[Politex]

I think it's a pretty solid farewell setlist, they can't play all rare songs, but we did get 2 rarity songs that haven't been played since 2004 and 2002. 22 songs also seems to hit a good amount, as it is a 2 hours show (? i think). Still hoping for a last surprise date in Brazil, but not very optimistic.

[six6sixways2love]

They were playing 20 songs during the Archives tour, so if they can keep up with 22 songs that's a pretty solid chunk of time, so  I have no complaints. And considering they've been a greatest hits set list sort of band for a while, I don't expect them to change now.

And as someone else mentioned, they really should consider starting with The Beginning of the End. Kinda cheesy, but very appropriate. And one hell of a song

[avr]

Just back from the show & they were fantastic - love them guys Instead of having more beers I decided to get the live footage up for everyone asap - please don't moan that it's iPhone quality or not the full songs or whatever just enjoy it and spread the love. Kittos!

[SIRJARVIS01]

It'd Be great if they ended the encore with don't fear the reaper

[kellylugosisdead]

Thanks for the footage avr!!! They sound so good, ughhhhh

Cryptic.

Will they come back with a different name like some other bands? Guess we'll have to wait and see what he means by that or if he mentions something during some other shows

Another setlist from Barcelona, just a little change in the order of the final setlist.... Sleepwalking was on the setlist but it was not played today.

were there any cameras in the venue? hoping theres a chance we can catch this tour on proshot or audio, saw some footage that was already up, the preformance was GREAT!

[666WTLOnVinylFTW]

Did anyone check on 616 to make sure he's still OK? Resurrection always sounded off to me live, so I'm somewhat intererested to hear how well they pulled it off so many years later.

It's cool they actually played Stigmata this time around.

I won't comment too much on the rest of the setlist except by saying that this very well may be the show that they put on until the end, and if so besides the two aforementioned songs there's still so many great ones that we might not ever hear performed live at all or brought back as a part of the setlist again, and that's kind of a bummer.

EDIT: Resurrection sounded nice. Could've just been the audio quality, or maybe it's the guitar tuning, but whatever it was it didn't really sound flat like it used to to me. A lot more full and that was pleasing to hear. Now onto Stigmata when I get the chance.

Wait a minute......

So we know that the guys rehearsed Stigmata for the Love Metal Archives tour but then they never played it. Wasn't Resurrection rumored or confirmed to have been rehearsed as well? Hmmm. Something smells fishy.

[avr]

There was no pro shot - the security was very tight and they probably would of stopped anyone filming.

This kind of fits in with my theory about what’s going on, I think they aren’t really breaking up just rebranding different name, new album with a new drummer a marketing scheme so to speak, create a huge buzz make some money get people talking then put out an album as Black Salem that they’ve been working on since 2014/15 and blow everyone away....

[616]

@avr could you upload your videos, stuff on wetransfer and post the link in the media section? thanks

i am fine Cory, was shocked when i heard Resurrection , it was really that "fucking finally" feeling. i prayed for this since 2005 (my first HIM gig) and every tour, everytime this gem was ignored by the band. Now my concern and fear is that they will drop it from the setlist .... the Prague gig (December 2nd) is SO FAR , i really wish and pray just to hear it live, so hopefully they will play it in Prague :-D
PLUS they did Stigmata, fuck yes this is like a Christmas seariously. Stigmata and Resurrection in one setlist.
They rehearsed And Love Said No for 2010 tour as well and they did it only on Helldone 2009 and few times at the soundcheck before the gig, but never on the gig in 2010.... I hope Resurrection wont be the Loves Requiem from LMA tour case... One try and instant retirement from the setlist..... i hope fans responded great to the song and guys wont change it for some overplayed song....My only note to the setlist is Rebel Yell ... this shit is so fucking boring and its not even a HIM song i dont see the reason why they play it. Encore for the Farewell Tour should be something special, every night some different song from the rotation of the songs - Beginning of the end, In the nightside of Eden, Our Diabolikal Rapture, Loves Requiem, And Love Said No, I Love You, Please Dont Let it Go Punk Rock version, Again and WLSTD. That would keep the setlist exciting and fans would be crazy i guarantee it. Imagine that they will go on stage at the Tavastia for the very last time as HIM and play In The Nightside of Eden "forever we are,....." as and encore song ...
 sorry for long shit, just got excited about Resurrection and Stigmata

guys attending rest of Spain and Portugal gigs - please can you record full Resurrection and Stigmata for me??

Thanks

i hope your theory is correct and will become reality soon after the very last HIM gig

You know I'm going to do my best to record the full gig in Porto

 

[Alex]

The project HIM seems to be played out...
Changing the style and using new name seems more and more logical but not in the same form i'm pretty sure and hopefully not right...

Tickets are $45 for Houston. LiveNation app lets you get them now.

For those in Houston (and possibly Dallas) let's meet up and get drunk lol.
