Some thoughts about a very unique tour

Per can fill stadiums and parks if he wants to. But entertaining just a few hundred people in a small cinema, this is yet another level of performance. Let’s have a look.

GÄVLE – The third gig on the fall tour took place in Gävle, the most northern part of the “Swedish” tour. Which in reality means that more than 60 % of Sweden is left without Per.

Quietly, without any fanfare nor warning – an incredible Roxette historical artefact has surfaced on YouTube in the last week or so – it is the band’s concert from Fox Theatre in St. Louis Missouri, USA from 1992 as part of their epic “Join The Joyride” World Tour. 

HALMSTAD – When Per Gessle decided to do this series of concerts, I would imagine it was a major relief for him.

HALMSTAD – Nothing much to add, except that Per added another two tracks to the set list.

HALMSTAD – In just about two hours the first Unplugged concert out of 10 will start.

8 unplugged gigs become 10!

Reviewing this concert is easy and then again not. It’s great to see the Golden Five again, but still it sort of hurts, knowing this is it. I didn’t go to the Ullevi concert, so it’s nice to see it here, in my living room. All the songs I know, and have sung, for 40 years almost. It’s been a good relationship!

GOTHENBURG – Around 200 specially invited guests and a few paying ones saw the recording of the tribute “En kväll för Marie Fredriksson” at Stora Teatern in Gothenburg last night.

It’s this time of the year again when “oops” suddenly it’s Xmas tomorrow, so here is your ultimate shopping guide. You’re welcome!

Last year’s book was a success, so we thought: Let’s make this a habit!

Here we go, the final(?) live album. Gyllene’s fourth live album. Forty years and four live albums, not too bad.

HALMSTAD – What more can you say about this truly amazing ride? It’s been a joyride compared to nothing else. Not really talking about the 40 years here, even if that fits too.

Gyllene Tider visited Ronneby and is getting better and better

Tänk dig att du ser tre småstadskonserter på en och samma gång, och att hela publiken är proffs.

What happened in Kalmar won’t stay in Kalmar

Imagine you’re seeing three small town concerts at once and the audience all are pros

Usually, when things go south, all is lost. Yet, when things go “Syd” and he crashes the party, it saves your evening. Read how Gyllene performed in yet another small town…

Let’s have a concert review that is a bit different.

This isn’t really a review, since you can’t review the same show over and over again. At least that’s how I feel. This is more of a reflection on the latest concert.

Let’s analyze the set list a little. If you compare this year to 1996, 2004 and 2013 you get a rather nice view over Gyllene’s vision. Right off the bat I would say all these tours have “Singles” in common. I’ll save that for a later date though.

The concert on Friday didn’t get washed away, on the contrary, all of Halmstad was plastered with sun all day so it was a pleasant night.

This will be short and sweet, due to time and Internet issues! Gyllene Tider opened before a full Brottet venue.
