Show a little faith there's magic in the night
Welcome to my annual end-of-the-year chronicle. Here I reflect on the passed year, the media I’ve consumed, the trips I’ve made and other personal stuff and oh boy, was this a busy year! This post took forever to write and in the end I had to cut a lot of things out just to get... Continue Reading →
The Milan (and Monza) area was battered by severe thunderstorms on Monday and early Tuesday (the show day), resulting in a large numbers of trees falling over streets and even causing the deaths of a 58-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl. They even considered cancelling the concert, but extra park workers were working the whole... Continue Reading →
The Olympic Stadium in Munich was built already in 1972 to host the Summer Olympic Games. The characteristic curved tent roof construction is still very impressive and it is one of the city’s landmarks. By the way, did you know that Crown Prince Carl Gustaf (the current Swedish king Carl XVI Gustaf), met his future... Continue Reading →
Hockenheimring is a Formula 1 racetrack in the small town of Hockenheim and also the next venue for our next Springsteen concert. At first we were hesitant to buy tickets for the show since we had heard that it was in a remote area, but we (or at least I) also thought it would be... Continue Reading →
A perk from being on this tour, other than the chance to see my favourite band, is to discover places that I’ve never seen before. This includes Newark/Asbury Park, Barcelona and Utrecht. Now I’ve also taken the express sightseeing tour of Vienna. We set off really early with the train from Ehrenfeld Bahnhof, Germany at... Continue Reading →
We arrived to Hamburg at around ten o’clock, with an early train from Cologne. Plenty of time to check-in to the hotel, have a quick look around, have some lunch and then head to the arena. We discovered rather quickly that there wasn’t just the Springsteen concert going on in the city. There were lots... Continue Reading →
On this tour, when you are going to two shows in the same location you are given a concert free day in-between shows. To have something to do, and because it was a bit rainy, we decided to go to the cinema and catch the premiere of the film “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning (part 1)”.... Continue Reading →
After Oslo I’ve been home for about a week to recuperate and to celebrate my birthday. I also had time to see Coldplay in Ullevi (great show!). My annoying cough is gone and I’m ready to embark the third leg of our #SpringsteenTour2023. Since the last dates of the European leg of the tour will... Continue Reading →
For the second concert in Oslo I had absolutely no expectations. The ones of you who have read my last post, know that I was a bit disappointed with the first show- not because of the show itself, but how the audience acted. Sadly Oliver had to travel home, but my good friend Ann-Sofie came... Continue Reading →
Voldsløkka Stadion in Oslo is actually no stadium, but a large mowed grass field divided into two parts; Front of stage and normal GA with a stage on one side. As we arrived to the field it was filling up quickly. Most of the people were sat down eating pizza and drinking beer. All of... Continue Reading →
