Still no official RS live recordings?

In my opinion, the RS Tour was the best so far. People still love them very much and they went to the concerts. Some were sold out, some were on unsuitable dates (for example Innsbruck), some countries had too much concerts (Germany). But all in all I think it was a fantastic tour in 2001. The only thing I would like to see is an official Live CD from Roxette. Their live performance is just great. We know, Marie sometimes forgot the words; Per is not always singing his part in tune, but who cares, that´s live! It´s important that the audience had a good time, still sings every song along and is clapping with hands. I think Per and Marie enjoyed the tour also. So what could they lose if they would release a live album? Would it be a flop? I don´t think so. If they would release a double A-Side single A:”Crush on you” /B: “Crush on you (LIVE)” before releasing a live album it would be great. I really hope they will do something like this for the fans. I like the live track FLAF on the ON single, but why they didn´t put SMT also on the CD. There is space for about 74 Min. on one CD?!

Great idea for a recording, but who would promote it?
With Marie still recovering, poor Per would have to once again, signle handedly conduct a whistle stop tour of all the radio stations, tv channels, magazines, newspapers.. etc.. etc..
...hard work.

No need for promotion. Sell it thru the official fanclub. All people who are interested will buy it within 10 minutes and it doesn’t cost any money at all to advertise.
Simple and easy !

About 500 people would buy it through the FanClub. Wow.

excluding those who are not satisfied with the FC service, which makes the final number considerably lower.
Even if not so many people bought it due to lack of promotion the fans would be happy anyway ( at least me, very much!). The final decision lies of course in Roxette hands, I understand them in a way not releasing it just like that. The tour was a big thing for them, the live CD should raise similar emotions. Let’s wait...maybe we’ll get a Xmas gift one year :)

@ally: No, I’ve made no FC experiences so far, I don’t have such need, shopping in sweden. But I read quite many complaints from fans, hence my comment. :) Hope you’ll finally get your Mazarin CD :)

I’ve bought a reasonable lot at the FC-shop. NO COMPLAINS WHATSOEVER. Allright it does take it’s time. But everything arrived in good shape and I didn’t have to go all around the globe to buy the items.
Easy way to keep the collection complete
