Commented HAIL!: "[The Kouvola show] saw us heading into a small village and doing our thing on a grand scale. This was the smallest venue we've played on this tour but we got it hopping and the fans went crazy.
"Still on a rampage of playing new songs, [on this night] we really went out on the limb and played LED ZEPPELIN's 'Immigrant Song' and VAN HALEN's 'You Really Got Me'. The way this usually happens is somebody just starts playing a song and the rest of the guys just take off with it. While we all know everybody is a great player, this off-the-cuff ability to pull off total surprise, non-rehearsed, songs onstage really demostrates just how good everybody really is.
"We've had a lot of fun playing these new songs and it truly fits in with what we feel about HAIL! The fun of sharing these special surprises together has created a very intimate and strong personal bond with you and we're thankful you understand what we are doing and appreciate why we are doing it this way."
