  1. Nice to follow Roxette. Although I have to say the people who shot the videos for kp.ru can use some camera + montagelessons. Don’t exactly know what is SO interesting about three white vans and a 1-secondshot of Marie Fredriksson.

    Roxetteblog: keep up the good work!

  2. Haha, that’s true! I’ve seen this kind of airport videos only from Russia so far. And thanks! 😀

    • Did Rox make a lapse in Kazan? Haven’t noticed. Seems something was in “How do you do”, right?

  3. I didn’t see anything wrong with How do you do on the video… Anyway, listeining to this song and many others it really seems taht Roxette are a rock group rather than a pop group when they play live, which is marvelous. I also laugh when I hear the Gyllene Tider is/was a pop group… yeah, maybe in the beginning, but live it is pure rock!

  4. @solsken I am talking about Listen To Your Heart 🙂 Can’t wait videos from Samara !

  5. great recordings!

    i just cant understand why these first 2 gigs have seats on pitch, its a pity.

  6. I think Per is right, this world tour is really the best rehab for our beloved Marie…she sang it much much better… So fabulous….
    But it’s just I hope that Per find a way to help Marie re memorizing the lyrics, maybe like providing some lyrics monitor, etc…

  7. I think they’ve tried that before in Moscow last year but it didn’t work for her as it’s probably a lot harder for her to follow & i think she was too focused on it & not the performance. I think it’s something that gets better when Marie is more confident but we have to learn to accept that a Rox show these days is gonna have quite a few forgotten lyrics. She is doing the best she can taking everything into account. It’s a pity though cause when Marie is confident in the lyric she sings much more powerfully, when she starts to get unsure that’s when she gets a bit out of tune & doesn’t really sing out. But take a listen to the end of LTYH from Samara WOW!! Totally nailed it!! It’s definitely still in her : )

    • You’re right, it’s a pity when she’s unsure about the lyrics she doesn’t sing out. Actually she sings better now than RS..I just listened to Samara’s tour vid, she sang them fab, WICF, IMHBL, etc.
      I also hope that she will let her hair grow longer and get it styled up with the darker color in the roots..just like in RS :D. Just an opinion of my personal taste :-)))

  8. I think it works quite fine the way she did it with LTYH at Kazan: when she got lost with the lyrics she vawed Per to start the verses and it sounded really cool.

  9. @Judith: Oh my god! You’re right!!! She’s moving around a lot more 🙂 I think it’s great they don’t have the teleprompter, that gives her a chance to explore the stage like she used to 🙂 🙂 Not that really matters, but seeing her in that Big L vid made me so happy 🙂

  10. I agree with taking Watercolours and Silver out of the setlist but shouldn’t they sing something else instead? Almost Unreal or You Don’t Understand Me for example. 20 songs are not that much of a show… If Marie cannot handle so many songs as yet, Per could take lead: She Doesn’t Live Here Anymore or Crush On You would be just fine.

  11. Vulnerable would be a perfect way to get Marie some rest during the show. And in addition, it’s such a beautiful song ( <3 the severe lyrics). 🙂

  12. I’ve only seen the Big L thus far and it already shows….Marie’s confidence is improving!!! And it looks like she is starting to have fun 🙂 So nice to see different outfits as well from the super pics (thanks!!). Does anyone have a clip from Watercolours from the 1st show by any chance?

  13. Couldn’t watch the vids with sound yet, but I think the leather jacket is a lot better than the long coat on Marie. That made her unnecessary stiff. 🙂
