Gyllene Tider gives “surprise” concert tonight at Leif’s

Written by Jud on July 2, 2004 to Gyllene Tider.

HALMSTAD - Gyllene Tider have been rehearsing in Halmstad for a while now. Before they go to Stockholm to continue rehearsing and to take part in the Allsång på Skansen television program, the band will perform a few songs tonight at Leif’s Lounge, Hotel Tylösand.

The performance is scheduled at around 22:00 CET. Leif’s Lounge’s standard cover charge of 100 SEK will apply; minimum age is 23 years old.

A similar “sneak preview” occured at Beach Club, next to Leif’s, just before the Återtåget tour in 1996.

Update July 3:
The five members entered the stage at around a quarter to eleven and played for about 45 minutes. Classics like “Sjömän”, “Det hjärta som brinner”, “Ljudet av ett annat hjärta”, “Leva livet”, “Sommartider” and new tracks from “Finn 5 fel!” such as “Solsken”, “Tuffa tider”, “En sten vid en sjö i en skog” and “Ta mej… nu är jag din” could be heard last night at Leif’s Lounge.

Wow....but an age limit of 23? What is the ’standard’ age limit in Leif’s Lounge (or other bars in Sweden) anyway?

AURYTE said on July 2, 2004 10:04:

Have a fine a show everybody who is going to this one. It’s kinda strange that age limit is 23...

Rich-UK said on July 2, 2004 10:14:

It’ll be *very* interesting to find out which F5F songs they play!! Rich

Kiwein1 said on July 2, 2004 10:24:

ESVESIES, Tuffa Tider, Solsken and Ordinärt Mirakel! :)
At least these are the NEW songs that they have been rehearsing..

Jud (moderator) said on July 2, 2004 10:47:

great that they are rehearsing Ordinärt mirakel! I love this song :D

The age limit is not 23 just because they sell alcohol, because bars are allowed to sell alcohol to persons over 18 here in Sweden.

Waha, wish I was already in Sweden... :’-(

But have fun anyone who’s going...

LOL Kiwein :D

ktoto said on July 2, 2004 16:57:

@ Kiwein, how do you know what songs they have been rehearsing?

roxtexanet said on July 2, 2004 17:36:

Hmmm... thought Per was feeling really tired right now, I would think the concert nobody knew about anyway would be the first thing to go...

Guess the press just caught him on a bad day (like the time Elton John said he’d never record another album again, and the next day said he was just “bitchy” (-: ).

Jud (moderator) said on July 2, 2004 22:23:

Rich-UK said on July 2, 2004 23:05:

Solsken & Ta Mig Nu är Jag Din for the next double-A side maybe?!! Hmmm, there’s more dreaming, Rich

@ktoto: I’ve been hearing them rehearsing when I was in Halmstad a week ago. :)

Jud (moderator) said on July 3, 2004 06:32:

I wonder why the newspapers call the concert “secret”, and that “rumours” about this show started to spread yesterday morning... it was announced yesterday on GT.se and here!!! (and maybe in other places in Halmstad, don’t know)

How secret is that? Or how much of a “rumour” is that? :S

mattias said on July 3, 2004 09:26:

Wow, Fån telefon. That song kicks ass!

Claire said on July 3, 2004 11:15:

ally77 said on July 3, 2004 12:21:

Possible it was played last year on the Mazarin tour.... except my venue Stockholm as Per hurt his finger! fingers crossed for it this time round!

Harplingeboy said on July 3, 2004 13:26:

Kiwein1 said on July 3, 2004 13:51:

lonely_girl said on July 3, 2004 16:22:
