Who thinks that songs from “The World According To” should be in the tracklist of the Tour? I think T-T-T-Take it!!, Stupid, Wish you the best and so on should be in the list? What do you think? Do you think Per doesn’t like TWATG? Why he only want to play songs in swedish to swedish fans? I think they love the english songs too! What do you think guys? ;)

Well, what i think....
The whole Mazarin concept seems to be PERsonal...
From the handwritten text on the album art... to the DVD
So I suppose he wants the tour the same way, so singing in english would make it feel kinda ummm out of place...
It wouldn’t be very comfortable to sing in a language that’s not your mother language, in front of people that don’t speak english and more importantly, they speak your own language.
If that happens in my country, i bet the same happens in sweden..... xcept for the giant international bands like Roxette, ABBA, or Cardigans....etc

Please please, include “Den Tunna Linjen” in the tour list!
What a great song... Marie would sing at her best

It does seem such a shame though that there is nowhere for Per to perform these great songs!

agree with Tev and Ferdan, this work seems to be very swedish, and adding English songs wouldn’t fit so much. He has enough good material in Swedish to go on a 2-hour-concert tour!
If I could go to Swe and see him live, I would prefer to listen to old songs from his 2 previous swedish albums and of course mazarin, you have to get the feeling, the picnics, sitting on the grass, beer, there with your friends + family..and Swedish music as background :D

“Wish You The Best”: “...and I’am walking ’round the SMALL TOWN, like SMALL TOWN people do...” It’s s-o-o-o-o PERsonal, isn’t it?
And what about Pers Garage? (smastad again, by the way). Why is nobody demanding these tracks to be inluded to the playlist?!?!

well personally per couldnt sing the twatg stuff live from the few performances i had on tape so maybe he better not :)

I think those songs don’t fit in with the rest of his repertoire. He wants a “sing-along feeling” that probably can’t be achieved with those songs. I love TWATG, but I love his Swedish songs more. And most non-fan Swedes probably didn’t buy TWATG.
