Show a little faith there's magic in the night
Mumford & Sons’ Delta World Tour rolled into Gothenburg Saturday night to Scandinavium Arena and from the minute they walked on the stage the band wasted no time at all. They opened with well known up-tempo songs; Guiding Light, Little Lion Man and Holland Road and the crowd was clapping and singing along from the... Continue Reading →
Friday night (May 10.) I attended the Lukas Graham' concert, in Gothenburg Film Studios. First, the venue: Gothenburg Film Studios is situated somewhat remote from downtown Gothenburg, located in an area where you primarily find office buildings and some newly built residential houses. My friend and I had to use google maps to find our... Continue Reading →
A blog I read every day and that I can really recommend, if you are a Bruce Springsteen fan, is the the E Street Shuffle-blog (link below). As promoted, it provides you with "Your daily dose of Springsteen originals and covers" - and that is not exaggerating it. The blog features different series of postings,... Continue Reading →

People sit in hoards outside the entrance drinking beer and wine, waiting for the gates to open. I feel lucky that I collected my wrist band... Continue Reading →
When you go and see a band who were your heroes thirty years ago you shouldn’t expect them to be the same musicians you saw then. I know that, yet I'm a bit disappointed with some parts of Guns N' Roses' show in Ullevi last night. Axl Rose's voice simply isn't quite there any more.... Continue Reading →
The tiny venue, Kulturbolaget Club, is literary steaming as Little Steven and his 14 piece band the Disciples of Soul enter the stage and start playing. The band is tight, energetic and on. A five piece horn section, percussionist, drummer, two keyboard players, three back-up singers, bass, and a guitar, they play as one big... Continue Reading →
