So it was time for the first of three shows at Stadion, Stockholm. The weather was really bad, cold and rainy. I got to the line at just before 2 o’clock and I met with Peppe shortly after. It was drizzling to and fro, so it wasn’t so nice to stand in line, but we got our wristbands and we could walk in easlily to the pit. We got a spot about 10-14 rows from the stage, inbetween Bruce and Steve, to the right of the stage.
We thought the band would be early because of the bad weather, but they came on at 20.10. Nils started on the accordion and he played Idas sommarvisa, a wellknown swedish tune. Thanks to the weather we got Who’ll Stop the Rain as a starter, and other great moments was I’m going Down, Cadillac Ranch and Wild Thing. I also enjoyed My Lucky Day and Outlaw Pete from the new album.
The encores ended with Glory Days, Twist and Shout and Dancing in the Dark. By that time I was soaked, not from the rain but from all the singing, jumping, clapping an shouting. What a finale! And I’m sure Bruce and the band didn’t do it just to make us stay warm in the cold night. 😀
