London tomorrow, folks! Classic venue, the old Hammersmith Odeon where Bowie killed Ziggy in 1973! See ya there! /P.
Thanks to Nancy we now have an idea of what the new FLAF sounds like. There’s new energy in it and you really have to experience the full song when you can. Dankeschön!

A review of a great Roxette box!
After so many years we finally get some of the elusive concert videos on DVD!
Without a day off after the magnificent Hamburg show, Per & Co. performed in Brussels on Friday. They all flew to the Belgian capital and since the connection between Hamburg and Brussels is not the greatest, some of us fans also travelled by the same plane. I must say it was a bit bizarre, listening … Read more
Another show, another almost true review. ? Read my thoughts on the mind-blowing Hamburg gig at the link below! ✌ /PP
30 years later, and #1 again! This is the Swedish vinyl charts. Look Sharp! is also #14 on the regular album charts, as a re-entry! Boxette, the DVD box, is at #1 on the DVD charts. Thanx Evgeny Ivanycz!
Here’s a comparison between the new and the old sleeve. As you can see the new sleeve is more zoomed in. That’s because the original sleeve wasn’t made digitally, but mechanically and the record EMI/WM had in their archives had a big hole in it… So therefore they got hold of a good sleeve from a record collector and photographed it. We’re assuming they zoomed in to get clearer edges. Anyways, here they are.
Brussels! /P.

Per Gessle’s Roxette – Hamburg, Germany – 11th October 2018 – #3
Hamburg, Germany, the best show so far on tour! And that was a seated gig! If all seated gigs are like this, I’m very much into them. Once the tour was announced and we could see there were several…

Once the tour was announced and we could see there were several seated concerts, we thought OK, the setlist would probably be too slow, full of ballads, so … Read more
Hamburg, the secret of the hidden organ, a statement that is hard to grasp (for some) and a free hint to the management. Also, not less than 64 photos. We hope you have some time at hand.

This just in: I’m working on yesterday’s photos of the Hamburg concert and just found this little piece on one of my files. Note the autograph but more importantly see the row and seat number. It does remind me that we really should hurry up with our #per60 project./K

Hamburg tonite. Oh yeah! Thanx everyone for showing up and singing along. Wonderful feedback on every song, love that! Extra special thanks for the Party In My Head-intro (yaknowwhatImean…theunmentionablesong….). Have to come back to Hamburg again and again, it’s addictive!!!!! I’ve had two great days here, checking out Anton C’s fab exhibition and just enjoying myself in the sunshine. Brussels tomorrow. Rise and shine everyone! Lots of love from P.
