The gig at Stockholm Concert Hall

Tuesday, December 18, 2007 | No comments »

Last Friday we played with Fabulous Five in Grünewaldsalen (the Grünewald hall) at Stockholm Concert Hall (Stockholms Konserthus). The concert series is called soppkonserter, soup concerts, and is a very nice event. The audience arrives, have a soup, and for dessert a concert is served, this time the very tasty Fabulous Five (Ooh, I’m clever today). All seats for eating guests were sold out, and also lot’s of people were sitting on the balcony, where you could sit if you didn’t want to eat.

We had a blast playing this gig, and it felt like a really good concert. As a bonus, the acoustics were amazing! We never had better sound, everyone heard each other exceptionally well, and this without any monitors or micing except for the concert grand piano, which by the way was the best instrument that Rasmus ever had the pleasure of playing on.

We only had 5 records left from the last pressing, and they were sold immediately. Sadly enough, there were many more who wanted to buy a record, that had to go home empty-handed. Of course this was a bit unfortunate, but still a good review for us!

It really was a pleasure to meet and play with the band again, last time was in the end of May I think. Since then I have, which you may have noticed, moved to Vienna and Ludwig to Los Angeles, so it really was great seeing everyone again!
