Unisonic did the fourth show of this new tour at HSBC Brazil in Sao Paulo, Brazil (2012/05/18). The venue is big, with capacity for 4,000 people more or less. Unisonic played as usual with the Swiss band Gotthard and without more guests. The show started at 21:30 and Unisonic played at 23:00.
The band chose the setlist option A, (I call it the “Argentinian option”) which has ‘March Of Time’ and ‘Future World’ instead the setlist option B, (I call it the ‘La Batuta option”) which has ‘I’m Alive’ and ‘A Little Time’. The rest of the setlist is the usual, the whole Unisonic debut album (except ‘No One Ever Sees Me’ and ‘The Morning After’) and ‘I Want Out’ for closing the show.

Brigitte review/comments
Brigitte little comments about the show: I arrived at the arena at around 8pm and met again some of the nice fans from Brazil with whom I already celebrated the release party the day before. The concert hall was separated into an VIP area, that was the aea directly in front of the stage and the normal area, separated by a metal barrier. Then there was also a first floor with places to sit down. When I arrived at the arena it was only filled with maybe a few hundred people, but this changed when the first band Gotthard started to play at around 21:30. Then the whole VIP and normal area was crowded and I guess it must have been around 3.000 or 3.500 people.
Gotthard played a nice rocking set, but many people only came for Unisonic. Gotthard finsihed at around 22:30 and after a break of 30 minutes Unisonic started. The crowd went wild immediately with the first song Unisonic and everyone sang the lyrics. This was a great experience and the sound was also very good at this location. Kiske’s vocals were also in great shape and you could easily see that he got more confident in the stage acting. He also did some nice small speeches to the audience and letting them know that getting autographs and taking pictures with the fans will never be anything that they would refuse to do so. They like to share personal contact with the fans. 
They played again my personal highlights from the album ‘King for a day’, ‘Over the Rainbow’ and ‘We Rise’, which is also a favorite of Michael Kiske. Some fans from Brazil told me, that one of the best songs from the album is ‘I’ve Tried’ which they really love. They played this song as well as the fantastic old classics ‘March of Time’ (again this is the ultimate song for the fans in Brazil from old Helloween times), Future World’ and ‘I want Out’. Even if I repeat myself, this was a fantastic gig, but it also had a little negative experience for me. I had the oportunity to go backstage, but wasn’t allowed to go there. Maybe they didn’t understand me in English, I don’t know, but of course this was quite sad for me, since this was the last of my 2 South America shows and I couldn’t say hello to them. I also heard from some others that they probably left quite early to the hotel. After waiting quite a while, I left to my hotel.

Promotional events before the show
Unisonic made at least two promotional events before the show, the first one was the day before (2012/05/17) at Blackmore Rock Bar in Sao Paulo (Alameda dos Maracatins, 1317, Moema). Brigitte commented about the event: “Brazilians fans came with lots of stuff to sign. They did a lot of party and in that location there were local musicians who played stuff of Judas Priest, Anthrax, Rainbow, Metallica also ‘Dr. Stein’ of Helloween (twice). There were not merchandising to buy but the band was not there.”
The second event will be a meet & greet on May 18th, same day of the show but a few hours before, at 17:00. The label Hellion Records did a contest and the winners will take the change of meet with the guys.

Third show at Teatro Caupolican, Chile
Yesterday (2012/05/16), Unisonic did the third show of this tour, the second in Santiago de Chile. This time in a bigger venue as Teatro Caupolican. Unisonic played obviously with Gotthard as “very special guests” but also with two guest bands SteelRage and Fireland.
The band returned to play the setlist of the first show in Argentina, with the same songs of Unisonic (all tracks except ‘No One Ever Sees Me’ and ‘The Morning After’) but playing ‘March Of Time’ instead ‘I’m Alive’ and ‘Future World’ instead ‘A Little Time’.
Kiske already explained in a local radio in Chile: “Unisonic will change a little the setlist day by day… one day ‘I’m Alive’ another day ‘March Of Time…“.

Fans comments
There are a lot of comments of fans via Twitter and Facebook about the show of Unisonic, for example Jaime Contreras the vocalist of SteelRage (they played in this show as guests) said: “Amazing sound and light effects of Unisonic“. Juan José Rodriguez ask himself: “What the hell would do Kiske to keep that voice?“. Rodrigo Valenzuela commented: “The song ‘March of Time sung by the original vocalist sounded excelent and the audience singing along. Kiske voice sounds like 25 years ago.” José Manuel Arcos said: “Amazing show of Kiske and Unisonic, spectacular.” Manuel Canto commented: “Excelent show! I was surprised by Gotthard power and Unisonic unbelieve! Kiske sings like in 80ties“, etc…

Unisonic in Chile – Santiago/La Batuta 15.05.2012 (First show)
After their tour start in Buenos Aires, Argentina, they headed to Chile for the second show! Unisonic played their first show in Chile on 15th May at La Batuta in Santiago. It is a very small venue, but with the chance of the fans to get very close to them. The band shared stage again with the “very special guest” band Gotthard.
They changed their set-list a little bit played ‘I’m Alive’ instead of ‘March of Time’ and ‘A little Time’ instead of ‘Future World’. They annouced that they will change the set-list a little bit from show to show to keep it more interesting for the audience. Here you can see a little selection of the best available videos.

Review by Benizha2011
It is a small place but with very good sound quality. The show was awesome. They only played 3 Helloween songs ‘I’m Alive‘, ‘A Little Time‘ and ‘I Want Out‘. They did not play ‘Future World‘ and ‘March Of Time‘. A hope they play all these songs today at teatro Caupolican.
They playey also 2 of my favorite Unisonic songs ‘King For A Day‘ and ‘Over The Rainbow‘. I was afraid they would not play the last one because it is a bonus track but it was part of the setlist and i am very happy for that.
Unisonic touring in South America!
It’s done! Unisonic started today the tour to promote their debut album in Argentina at Teatro Flores! This is the first leg of this tour which has four shows in South America; Argentina (done 12th), two shows in Chile (15th and 16th) and Brazil (18th) and then another show in Mexico (20th).
The band shared stage with the “very special guest” band Gotthard – they will be their partners in most of the dates in this tour – and also the guests for this show in Argentina; the Mexican band Conjuro and the band Resist. Unisonic closed the show at 23:15 with a performing of 90 minutes (more or less).
Brigitte review
Brigitte little comments about the show: “After an half hour break, Unisonic entered the stahge at around 21:45. They gave 100% from the beginning and you could see that did a lot of practising. It was the first show with all the new material, but everything seemed tight arranged and very professional. Michael’s voice was better than every and he didn’t need any paper on any song. Maybe a little more interaction with the audience could be done for future shows. You could also see, that most Argentinian people didn’t know most of the Unisonic songs. This is quite understandable, since the album was not yet released there. So when the first Helloween track “March of Time” started, the audience went crazy and jumping up and down.”

As you can see, they played almost the whole Unisonic album, except the song ‘No One Ever Sees Me‘ (very difficult to play live with all those orchestration) and the Japanese bonus track ‘The Morning After‘. And they also played three old tracks of Helloween’s Keeper Of The Seven Keys which were written by Kai.
