Last night – seeing the weather forecast days before – we thought it would be raining like hell during the concert, but fortunately, the weather changed in the afternoon and it was rather sunny in the evening. It got a bit chilli, but nice during the gig. It was very lovely from Hotel Tylösand that they put ponchos in the picnic bags, just in case. Thanks for caring!
Micke Syd and Anders Herrlin were around the hotel before the concert, so we expected to maybe have a guest appearance by them on stage. But it didn’t happen. Anyway, very cool that they were checking out PG unplugged.
The crowd was happy to welcome Per & Co. on stage at 20:45. The band was in great form and sounded fab! The audience was rather a clap-along than a sing-along crowd this time. But their clapping was loud!
Before playing Småstadsprat, Per said what’s written on his prompter: to set Capo 2 on the guitar. This time Micke N-S also wrote „Are you doing everything that I write here?” on the prompter. Per read it first and started laughing, then he read it out loud, turned towards Micke and said „Yes, I do!” Everyone laughed.
When Per started counting in for the start of Det hjärta som brinner, Chris maybe started to play too early, so they stopped and Per wanted to start counting again, but then he realized maybe it should be Chris, so he told Christoffer he should start counting, for God’s sake. Haha. I would say it was in the Top3 best songs last night.
Tuffa tider was cool too, here we could hear the crowd singing along. Before PG started to play the ukulele, he stated it’s the world’s weirdest instrument.
It Must Have Been Love always gets a loud positive reaction from the crowd, but last night it got an even longer applause than usual. Sounded beautiful, of course.
Ömhet and Sommartider were outstanding this time too.
When the guys and girl went off stage after the first encore, Christoffer put his hat on Per’s head, then PG put it on Helena’s mic stand.
When the gang came back for the second encore, Per sat down and took his 2 rings off one by one and wiped his fingers. Was it too much disinfectant gel on the hands? Haha.
Before the last song in the second encore Per asked the crowd if we want more. Of course he got a loud yes and he said it’s „lillördag (little Saturday) after all, so what do you think about Om du bara vill?” And so the concert ended with ODBV again.
The setlist was the same as at gig #4 and #6. So maybe Per thinks it’s the perfect setlist and they keep it as it is from now on?
