What other artists not icluding anything Roxette-related have you seen live, and what did you think about the shows?? I begin:
Janet Jackson ( very good)
Depeche Mode ( amazing, but I had very bad seats)
Garbage (great, Manson is cool )
Pet Shop Boys ( good, but I had a very bad cold that day)
Kylie Minogue ( great, and I even met her before the show!)
Kent ( the fantastic swedish band! Geat live shows)
Britney Spears ( so-so..she is better than her music)
Savage Garden ( great band, Roxette-light ;)
Aerosmith ( one of the best live-bands)
Craig David ( so-so..didnt want to go really)

Meat Loaf - fantastic show
Peter Maffay - great show as well, great atmosphere
Phil Collins - Nice songs, a bit boring though
Tina Turner three times - the BEST performance I have ever seen, didn’t ever see an artist that topped her on stage
Take That - much too loud, screaming teenies, pure horror
Whitney Houston - Worst concert ever
Shery Crow - Very good, but I couldn’t see much, the venue was much too crowded..people couldn’t even move when they wanted to, that’s why I’d like to see her again one day
Cliff Richard - sorry, I HAD to go
Guess, I forgot some..

- Bon Jovi (1996)
–> It was an open-air concert and it took place in a huge football stadion in Cologne. It was simply great!
- Ronan Keating (2002)
–> It was a nice show!
- Jazz Festival in Stockholm (2000)
–> I HATE JAZZ but someone asked me if I’d like to join him and since I had no other plans I accompanied him. I don’t remember the artists anymore though *LOL*. I only remember that there was a woman performing and her name was Susan Vega, I think. I heard that she is famous. I don’t have any other memories *LOL*.
- Then I saw a concert of an artist but I forgot his name. It was a very small show with only a few people. An ex- friend of mine had invited me to this concert.
- ... and this summer three DIE TOTEN HOSEN ( –> famous and very successful German punkrock band) shows...! Hopefully I will survive the pogo and the stage-diving/ crowd-surfing band/ kids... ;-DDD HEY HO, LET’s GO!!! It will be much more wilder than the front row in Roxette-shows...!!!
