World Tour 2012: Gdansk/Sopot Audio Bootleg

by

cd_booklet

So far we have got several audio bootlegs from this year’s leg of the mighty Roxette tour – including Adelaide, Melbourne, Singapore, Buenos Aires, Birmingham, Dublin and San Francisco. But with this new release it’s a little bit different thing. First of all – for the first time you get one concert recorded by three people from three different perspectives (sitting, in the crowd and outside of it). We weren’t able to pick up the one that represents the finest quality so we have decided to go out with all three recordings done by Slawek (known from his great work for Gessle Over Poland and Warsaw 2011 DVDs), Damian (who is passionate with recording various gigs on video) and Nikodem. Blanka is once again behind the cover and booklet for this release. Secondly – our audio bootlegs are always previews of video releases that will surely pop up somewhere in the next year. Thirdly – as we earn nothing, we share it for free.

Teaser of the new Rox documentary

by

SVT has just shared a teaser (1m 36s long) of the upcoming Rox documentary called “IT ALL BEGINS WHERE IT ENDS”. Click here and enjoy!

 

Per says the documentary “will be subtitled for each country”.

Please see subtitles for the trailer prepared by Angelika Grabowska & Ajda Dzambic:

Per – I understand why artists like Rolling Stones never end their careers, you can never replace the feeling you get when you have your audience in front of you.. when you’re playing your music.
Marie – I’m tired today, but it gets good again the second you get on stage and you feel the energy and you get excited.
Per – This is what you/I do to shirts that are newly ironed.
This is something I have to do myself, no one does it as good as I..at least not with my shirts”
“Beautiful”
“I’ve done this over 100 times just this year, so you know the drill”
“I can tell you that it’s chaos just outside the hotel”
“The second we get on stage I’m filled with such energy from the audience and it turns into such an adrenaline kick…you get so happy and strong from that…strange job I have right?”

Per reveals title of the new Rox documentary

by

Per posted the info this afternoon on Roxette Official:  the title of the DVD will be “IT ALL BEGINS WHERE IT ENDS”. The title says it all and reading the comments, it seems to be very popular among all magic friends. How couldn’t it be?

Don’t forget that you can watch a shortened version of the documentary soon on SVT and as Per informs,  more international TV channels will follow shortly. Hopefully, we are not kept waiting so long for the release date of the DVD itself.
