Edguy - Monuments- Live In Brazil 2004 -2017- -... May 2026

Monuments – Live in Brazil 2004–2017 never got an official pressing. But every few years, a remastered torrent appears. A Reddit thread. A lost YouTube playlist. Brazilian fans guard it like treasure.

“Para todos que cantaram até perder a voz. Para Edguy. Até o próximo monumento.” (“For everyone who sang until they lost their voice. For Edguy. Until the next monument.”) Edguy - Monuments- Live in Brazil 2004 -2017- -...

The Space Police tour. Edguy had fully embraced their goofy, sci-fi theatrical side. Tobi wore a silver wig and a cape with LED lights.

Brazil never just listened to Edguy. It lived them. From the sweaty, cramped clubs of São Paulo in 2004 to the roaring festival fields of Rock in Rio 2017, the country carved itself into the band’s history as a wild, untamable beast of passion. And somewhere, in the hard drives of die-hard fans and bootleggers, existed the myth of Monuments —a fan-assembled audio-visual time capsule spanning thirteen years of chaos, capes, and cachaça.

The setlist was a fan-voted monster: “Vain Glory Opera,” “King of Fools,” “Superheroes,” “The Piper Never Dies.” During the last song, “Avantasia” (yes, the Avantasia song, but Edguy played it as a tribute to themselves), Tobi stopped singing. He just held the mic out. The crowd sang every word—in perfect English, with a Portuguese accent.
