Best ROXETTE concert you saw?

For me it has to be Room Service Tour @ Globen, Stockholm November 2001!!!. It was a life long dream to see Per and Marie play in Sweden.

Only been to two...Helsinki 1994 and Helsinki 2001.
But since I don’t remember much from 1994, it’s got to be Helsinki 2001. :-)
@ Vixzter
Was that the surprise concert they made around the release of “Don’t Bore Us - Get to the Chorus!”?

For me it was Dortmund 1992 and Gothenburg 2001! Really fab! :o)
pardek said on November 26, 2002 18:28:
Stuttgart 2001 really rocked! never saw such an active & crazy audience!!! It was so special when they played spending my time for the 1st time on that tour because of the cheering crowd.
THANK YOU PER & MARIE!!!

@ animal - Yes.
My two faves are Shepherds Bush ’95 and Unplugged ’93.
animalkingdom said on November 26, 2002 18:51:
You saw Unplugged 93...? Wow!
Do you happen to remember what was the very first song they played?

The Show they did at Capital Radio Cafe in London in 1999 was pretty good.

17/11/01 Göteborg...always in my heart, best of all 3 I saw during RS :)
gyllene_kille said on November 26, 2002 20:56:
I´ve to agree with gyllene_tjej; Gothenburg 2001 was the best! So far. ;)

Johannesburg in 1994. Marie’s voice was amazing! And Roxette was in a Rock & Roll phase. :)
cskendras said on November 26, 2002 22:12:
@ stillfar: you were in stuttgart, too??? i looked at your profile and saw that you’re from canada, am i right?
must be cool to travel along with roxette :o))
and the concert in stuttgart was really great, though it was my first rox-concert :-D
hugs from stuttgart to all roxfans around the world!!

I’ve been in a concert from the CBB tour (Madrid, 1994) and in another from the Room Service Tour (Madrid, 2001).
The first one was very special because 12.000 people attended the concert and we had a wild time: Roxette really rocked and Marie was superb (as always), running from one side to another of the stage and making the audience have fun.
The second one was incredible because we were ’only’ 2500 people, but as we were all HUGE roxers, we really knew the lyrics by heart and sang along during the whole show. Even P&M stopped singing lots of times to listen to us :)
So I can’t really choose between them...with no doubt those great memories will be with me for the rest of my life.
Is there anyone out there who was also in any of those shows and wants to comment?

i have never been to a roxette concert, other than the fact that i bought the Live-ism tape. i was not impressed by it at all, from the tape, it seems like Marie doesn’t do well live in a big concert, her voice doesn’t hold.
Hotblooded said on November 27, 2002 02:56:
bunny: You have got to be kidding Marie has an amazing voice live! I attended the show when Live-ism was filmed and everyone was in awe of how powerful and emotion charged her voice was!
For me the best Roxette concert was 8th of Dec 1991 in Sydney Australia! Roxette were huge back then and it was my first ever concert and it went off! The crowd, Per and Marie the band it was just a magical night something I will never forget!
The only other time was 21st January 1995 it was a great show and a loud crowd but for some reason Roxette had lost a lot of popularity and so I was a little disappointed the show wasn’t totally sold out even though the venue was almost full. In 91’ they had 4 sold out shows and then come 94’ they couldn’t manage to sell one show :(
rezmad said on November 27, 2002 03:16:
Well three come to mind.
Melbourne, Australia in 1991 and also 1995.
I have fond memories of the 91 show as it was also the first time I’d seen a band play live.
And the third would be the last one I saw, in Goteborg in Sweden last year as I still have fresh memories of that one, and it was basically the end of what had been the best holiday of my life, 4 months in Europe chasing my fav band around from country to country!
bunny said on November 27, 2002 03:36:
Hmm maybe they need to come up with a better live video, ’cause i showed it once to my american friends and they were shocked that Marie sounds so different live (not in a good way). Is there a place on the web i can download live video clips from them? Maybe it’s just the Live-ism video tape ..
lonely_girl said on November 27, 2002 07:06:
I only saw Zurich 31/10/2001 and it was just GREAT! The crowd was soo loud and enthusiastic and Marie’s voice was incredibly strong. IT ROCKED! It was the first time they played ’church of your heart’ as a bonus track!
Winterangel said on November 27, 2002 08:15:
CRASH! BOOM! BANG! 26.10.1994, Prague. There were so many people who were asking for tickets, that they had to add one more concert the next day, 27.10.1994. THEY WERE BOTH SOLD OUT very quick. And I ended up (unexpectedly) in the first row. Unforgettable! The fact, that they have sold out both the concerts makes me wonder, why they almost always forget Prague on their promotion tours.... :o(
Starrox said on November 27, 2002 08:40:
Stuttgart 2001 once more :-))
Runner-ups are the showcase in Cologne last year - I simply knew there’d be a tour after that, the whole band enjoyed it way too much to play only those three showcases - and the RS concert in Frankfurt: pretty special atmosphere since it was the last concert of the tour in Germany and thanks to some special things happening like COYH for the very first time or certain events involving guitar picks *g*
little-miss-sorrow said on November 27, 2002 09:20:
bielefeld 1994 since it was the first i ever saw ;o)
leipzig 2001 by faaaar the best i’ve seen during the rs-tour!!! it rocked!!
RobS said on November 27, 2002 09:35:
back in 94/95 the CBB tour in Canberra - first concert and the best!!
ally77 said on November 27, 2002 10:16:
Bunny..... you really need to see Marie’s solo tour to hear her voice live, she is the best and always will be, I am certain hundreds others will agree.
LittleGirl78 said on November 27, 2002 12:04:
I was only at one :-(
Munich 2001 and this was great :-), only a little bid short :-(
frab said on November 27, 2002 12:29:
Leipzig 2001!! best atmosphere and the loudest crowd I´ve ever seen on a concert
felicity-brown said on November 27, 2002 12:45:
All of em! :) But the small shows are always great! Shepherds Bush, Radio Café, Cologne Showcase...
tevensso (moderator) said on November 27, 2002 12:54:
@animal - Yep, AntiMario is correct. Dangerous was first, followed by Hotblooded! Yummy concert indeed!
Nefatari said on November 27, 2002 13:12:
1994 Munich - the 2nd show and Vienna
2001 Vienna was gr8, but I guess Göteborg was absolutely perfect!!
Iris said on November 27, 2002 19:35:
I think it was 92 in Podersdorf(Austria) ... there were sooo many people and the audience was really great ... it was kind of romantic too as it was next to the “Neusiedler See” (a lake). ;-).
The one in 89 in Vienna was kind of special, as it was the first gig.
Well .. but of course there are so many others as well.
From Room-Service Tour I liked Prague the most. Really fantastic audience.
In 94 .. hmm ... Munich .... as it was special, but only the first one.
Hope my list will go on ...
daniel_alv said on November 27, 2002 19:38:
I have only seen one so I have to say GLOBEN 16 November 2001
m-cvk said on November 27, 2002 22:31:
I went to the concert in Rotterdam/Ahoy’(1994), the showcase in Cologne and the RS Brussels concert. All shows were great, but for me the Brussels concert was the best/means the most to me, because I went to that concert with my Big L! (who is also a Rox-fan).
Vixzter said on November 28, 2002 06:44:
Damn ....forgot Sheffield Arena 1992, cool version of How Do You Do! :)
sweet_stalker57 said on November 28, 2002 06:59:

The best concert I saw ( and the only one I´ve been to) is the Room Service tour concert in gothenburg on november 17, 2001. it was so cool that roxette played Church Of Your Heart.

n_e_1 said on December 4, 2002 19:55:
The bigger: Buenos Aires 1992 ( 120.000 fans ),
The better: Buenos Aires 1995 ( 20.000 fans ),
it was wild and lovely nights.
Go on supporting Roxette .
harriej said on December 4, 2002 21:15:
I have seen Roxette live 3 times:
- 21 september 1994 AHOY Rotterdam,(CBB-tour)
- march 2001, Radio Donna Party, Kortrijk
- 23 oktober 2001, Forest National, Brussel (RS-tour).
They two concerts were really very good.
josy said on December 6, 2002 20:52:
St Petersburg and Moscow 2001
the greatest concerts ever for me and for Roxette. I‘m sure!
Chester said on December 6, 2002 22:06:
Sheffield Arena 1994. C.B.B tour. My first and probably last Roxette concert - seeming U.K is overlooked all the time.
