Concerning Antarctica: We were honestly surprised by the amount of songs from older albums in your set (Aachen, that was). Of course there are songs which can be called Dreadnoughts-classics, which just have to appear on the setlist. Then again, the new albums have so many bangers on them, many of which we were looking forward to (that diminished the great night we had no in the least, not to worry). Don't know what the streaming numbers tell you, but throwing in more of the new material might highten the fun for everyone involved even more.

Yeah that is the strategy; tricky when you never get to practice but we will slowly keep working new ones in!

I don't know if the Time part of "Cider Time" was an intentional reference to a clock, but either way "oooohhh arrrrrghhh" instead of "you are" is an absolute win.
