Promotion in Chile
Apr 25
Comment from Per Gessle
Oh my God….Lunatic Park. There are no words to describe the feelings we have and the welcome we receive every time we hit Buenos Aires. Tonight was the loudest crowd we’ve heard since we played here last April and it felt most fitting that the premiere of IT’S POSSIBLE live took place here. And hey, thanx for making this band really proud of our music but even more proud of having fans like you!!!!

Such a pleasure to be on stage in this environment. Big thanks to all you almost 15000 ppl who participated in making this Saturday night a winner! Cheers, P&M&Co

Oh yea Quito! Thanx for a wonderful evening, thanx for singing along (does everyone in Equador know our songs by heart????), thanx for showing us your beautiful town, we’re certainly having a blast here. Thanx for your support tonight, it felt like we all were one, we had a fab time even though we couldn’t play LTYH due to Marie’s (lack of) voice. Next time we do it in a ten minute version! LOVE, P&M&Co

Miscs
Concert was due to take place on April 17, but later – after Caracas was announced (April 17) and Bogota (April 19) cancelled, it changed the date. Over 9,000 people bought tickets to that very first Roxette concert in the country. The group was really popular in the 90′s and looking at the clips from the concert you can still see how popular all Roxette songs are there.

Thanx Caracas for a beautiful evening! We had a blast playing under the dark blue sky!!! And thanx for singing along and making us feel like the biggest band on earth!
Couldn’t play any songs from Travelling due to the fact that the soundcheck got cancelled! Nevertheless, the band is an unstoppable monster right now and kicked ass even after a five week break (that’s what being on the road for more than a year does to you…)! Had some problems with the Chinese customs leaving Shanghai, lots of things were missing when our equipment arrived in Venezuela. Guitar stuff, a computer, all Marie’s jewellery, even Pelle’s sneakers……. Thanx for coming to the show, dear Venezuela-fans, see you soon we’re sure…. one way or another!!!! Luv, P&M&Co
