Amazing amazing!
Never would’ve guessed Wish I Could Fly was going to be part of the tour.
What NO KIX!?!?!?!?!?!? I want my money back!!! Even i’m not attending to any concert (so far)
Well it’s only the first performance let’s see what the future brings.
Either way he’s playing and that’s what matters.

PK, thank you. Yeah, I mean Late, Later on, not I like it Like that :) My mistake.
Junkie said on April 16, 2009 22:29:
Cool!!!! But they told they will play 26 songs, it means 3 more songs will be played extra on the further concerts?
PK said on April 16, 2009 22:32:
Hey, I died and went to heaven was not played either.
The cover version might have been “Steppin’ Stone” as someone mentioned. Unknown for me.
The concert was not filmed.
ncurran said on April 16, 2009 22:43:
Overall the setlist looks quite good, though it has too much SOAP and not enough Party Crasher for my liking. Quite bizarre that he doesnt even play the lead single of the album he is promoting!
shine said on April 16, 2009 22:48:
Well, I can´t imagine that Per sings It must have been love or Queen of rain
daniel_alv said on April 16, 2009 23:02:
Where is Silly Really?
Agree that there are a little to much SOAP and to few PC, but good choises of songs from Roxette I think. Dressed for success should be a great opener. Really looking forward to the cirkus gig.
PerAndren said on April 16, 2009 23:15:
Good set overall I think. The chosen Roxette songs are interesting, I think Queen of Rain might be Per’s best song ever. Fab ending track!
Although I get the point of it, and that it might have to be this way, my opinion is that he’s beeing abit too “safe”, choosing too many hits.
Silly Really has to be in the set! Ridicolous that it has been left out. I also feel sad for Helena that all her songs with solo parts was cut off, where is Hey Mr DJ och Perfect Excuse? I also miss Kix, which I think is fab.
But these songs are good choices I think:
3. Stupid
5. I wish I could fly
6. She doesn’t live here anymore
7. 7 Twenty 7
11. Do you wanna be my baby
12. Opportunity Nox
15. Church of your heart
16. Dangerous
19.Are you an old hippie, Sir?
18. C’mon
23. Queen of rain
SVARTA666 said on April 16, 2009 23:31:
I think that PC have too many electronic arragement to playing with a rock formation, Clarence should need 4 hands!!! (except gut feeling and Thai wiht a twist) Party Pleaser and Doesn´t make sense is a good choosen for this show, the sound can be similar to TWATG songs or Roxette songs. In my opinion too many hits. Now Wait to Saturday!!! This is our Party Crisis Tourrr .... join with us or get to the chorus!!! (Ooooops!... I did it again.... my Prozac!)
animalkingdom said on April 16, 2009 23:47:
In my opinion the gig was ABSOLUTELY fantastic!
Much, much better than Roxette’s Room Service performances.
Listen To Your Heart was haunting, brilliant with Helena’s background vocals.
Wish I Could Fly was a weird song choise, imo, but worked just fine! Great arrangement.
She Doesn’t Live Here Anymore & Opportunity Nox were nice to hear live for the first time.
It Must Have Been Love & Queen Of Rain were some of the highlights, the club was pretty much filled with feeling during these two.
Are You and Old Hippie was least expected from my point of view, as was the fact that he only played TWO songs from PC and left Silly Really out. However, it didn’t really matter, he picked so many great songs instead.
Personally, I’d like to thank him for I Have a Party in My Head. THAT was a FINE number. I nearly cried.
I wish I could attend more concerts!!
Roxryder said on April 17, 2009 01:48:
Completely surpriced that Kix and I like it like that were missing. If this isn’t the tour for those songs i don’t know when then. It’s the first show hope they add them later like with Real Sugar back then.

Wow, great set list. There’s a few songs missing that I was sure we’d hear (’Kix,’ ’Hey Mr DJ’) and that I will miss, but then again, he was never going to be able to fit in all of everyone’s favorite songs – he’s written so many!
Of course he had to play the biggest Roxette hits – that’s what he’s best known for, after all. How could he do a concert without playing The Look? But if you don’t count the famous late ’80s / early ’90s songs, he’s still playing 12 songs that only the real fans will know. That’s a brave decision, and a great gift for the fans. I’m looking forward to hearing 7Twenty7 and the great SDLHA live, and it’s a wonderful surprise to have Party In My Head there.

Awww man I wish i could be there.
Interesting setlist, a little too much Rox for my liking considering he has so much solo stuff to choose from. There really should’ve been at least 1 or 2 more from PartyCrasher in place of some of the Rox/SOAP songs.
SDLHA & OppNox, woohoo :-)
Can’t wait for the DVD!!
Emil__BG said on April 17, 2009 06:30:
No need for more PC songs
Lets be honest.
Roxette fans are paying to hear Roxette or Per old solo songs.
PC is away from this great roxxing sound.
The only need is Marie cos i guess some songs sound strange without strong female voice.
jude77 said on April 17, 2009 15:29:
Wow!!!
So, is there a big chance for a summertour in Sweden?!
I would be so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)))))
PK said on April 16, 2009 14:25:
Yei !!!
Soon I’ll be there witnessing that historical moment. Does anyone want a setlist or something or should it just stay a secret? Don’t wanna spoil the surprise or anything that’s why I’m asking... But I guess someone else probably will send it here to without asking at some point. Or could TDR make a news-headline with “Setlists from the tour-don’ read if you don’t wanna know” ?!
