…and “Gessle over Europe” LP is currently no 6 on this list. Tomorrow at 9 am Swedish time Hitlistan chart – the official Swedish Top 60 will be published. Which place should we except?
Edit: The album debuted at #24 on Hitlistan chart.

The very first look at “Gessle over Europe” DVD menu:
The most interesting things I’ve noticed while the watching:
– the interview parts with Per & fans pop up many times through the Cirkus concert – after “Dressed for success” [Why did Per decide to go on the club tour?], “The Party Pleaser” [Rosina & Dany spotted; Per tells more about how he appreciates the fans – especially those from South America], “She doesn’t live here anymore” [Interview with Ezequiel in Swedish; Per’s story from Warsaw gig about some people from Siberia who came for the concert], “Late, later on” [The idea of this tour], “Do you wanna be my baby?” [Roxette/Gessle music as the soundtrack of our lives; Dany wants her husband to forgive her! :D], “Doesn’t make sense” [The future?], “Joyride” [The little concerts suit Per the best], “Are you an old hippie, sir?” [About “The look”], “It must have been love” [The tour experiances], “Queen of rain” [Per tells more about the band members; fans from Spain, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico after the Cirkus concert]
– though there is a 12 years-old parental adivsory – both videos for “Kix” and “Do you wanna be my babe?” are censored
– some unseen footage from the tour was added to the 100x tribal homevideos
Two reviews of “Gessle over Europe” CD+DVD set appeared in the Swedish press – the first one comes from Göteborgsposten and the author, Johan Lindqvist, gives the album 3 out of 5 and says that “Party crasher tour” got only press when Marie Fredriksson came in picture.
Another review was published in Upsala Nya Tidning and GOE got 4/5. Per Gessle was compared by the journalist, Ulf Gustavsson, to the cat with nine lives – his Swedish or English solo career, Gyllene Tider, Roxette or Son of a Plumber. Anyway – the review is really positive.
And tonight, the very first look at the DVD – stay tuned!
I know it’s difficult to think about our idols’ solo careers at the moment when so many things are happening in the rox-world, but I have to remind you that tonight on P4 Live Per Gessle’s Cirkus concert from May 2009 will be broadcasted as well as the new (hopefully) interview with the Man.
According to P4 website, the radio station has recorded both concerts on May 9th and 10th.
Don’t know what is happening, but P4 does not broadcast the concert.
Edit 1: 11-minutes interview with Per Gessle on P4.
Edit 2: From Gessle.com: Something has gone wrong, P4 is not airing Per’s concert, but a Ted Gärdestad tribute.
Edit 3: The concert will be broadcasted on November 14. P4 apologized for this problem.
