After 4 days off, Per Gessle’s summer tour continued and the gang played in Rättvik. Last night’s venue, Dalhalla is an amphitheatre located in a former limestone quarry, and is used as a summer music venue. Seeing a concert live in such a beautiful setting must be amazing. Per played there before, in 2015 with Roxette.
The audience were mainly seated, but in the front there was a little space for standing people. Still the stage was too high. Åsa was there and filmed a lot. Per already shared 2 great videos from the gig (1; 2). Anders Roos was also there again and took some cool pictures (1; 2). Fingers crossed for a nice photo book after the tour!
After the first song, Min plats Per talked to the crowd and mentioned they played at this venue with Roxette in 2015. He also said he was writing songs for more than 40 years, which is unbelievable and on this tour he wants to play songs from all the branches of his tree.
Most songs, like e.g. På promenad genom stan or Här kommer alla känslorna (på en och samma gång) were rather heavy clap and sing along songs in Dalhalla and Ljudet av ett annat hjärta was the one that made most people (from 5 to 90) stand up from their seats and party.
There was a little change in the setlist. After It Must Have Been Love the band played Listen To Your Heart. Per mentioned after the song that they rehearsed LTYH only during the soundcheck on concert day, so then they decided to play it. Unfortunately, the setlist didn’t get longer by this one hit, but it kicked Tittar på dej när du dansar off the set. We would be fine with having both of them, just saying.
During The Look, Christoffer came down to the catwalk in front of the stage and was entertaining the crowd with his crazy guitar playing.
Härligt gig igår i obeskrivligt vackra Dalhalla. Tack alla för skönsången. Syns igen. Turne’bussen rullar vidare! /P.
