Stockholm gig a success
Written by roxeteer on April 2, 2001 to Misc.
“Seldom, if ever, has Café Opera had so much people in at the same time,” writes Aftonbladet’s reporter Klas Lindberg of yesterday’s Roxette show in a club in Stockholm. About 550 invited guests saw Roxette’s first live concert in their home country since 1996.
After the gig, Per felt very pleased of the concert. “We haven’t really played in clubs before. And it’s always special to perform in Sweden and in Stockholm. Many old friends are also here tonight,” he told the Aftonbladet reporter.
The concert was promoted by radio station NRJ. They have a set of photos from the concert available on their website.

The last official concert, wasn’t that in Göteborg in september 1994? Or the concert Roxette did in Varberg this fall? (private concert)

Bill! Try www.roxette.at, they have a great .exe file with all the lyrics. They even have the publishing year, and they range from 99 to 01...
Speaking of the last concert - I agree with Sofia, I also thought it was September 94. (Not counting the private performances.)
Speaking of the Opera-gig - it was wonderful! Really cool to be at a real club gig for once. It seriously rocked.
