#gtsommar Second Gyllene Tider concert in Halmstad on July 6? Coop knows better!

by

…though the official sale did not start yet, Coop, the best chain in Sweden ever (everyone will admit that after today), announced that the second concert in Halmstad is planned on Saturday, July 6. And we are pretty sure it’s not a mistake… 🙂

In addition to Ticnets VIP package for the 6th, Remco Verhaaf noticed that the codes on the tickets of Malmö and Halmstad contain a “1” in the 3 letter concert code (MS1 & MP1), while Gothenburg only mentions SLS. So maybe a second Malmö gig is an option as well? We love all those conspiracy theories!

“Svarte Rudolf” sang by Gessle on P3

by

Last week Swedish public radio P3 broadcasted programme “Livet är en fest” (Life is a party) with episode called “Halmstads pärlor, del 1” (Halmstad’s Pearls, part 1). Yesterday it was time for the second part with such pearls as “Svarte Rudolf” (accoustic song sang by Per Gessle) or “Farlig Terräng” (early Flickorna… demo by Gyllene Tider). The first 20 minutes of episode are dedicated to Roxette’s career including songs like “Neverending love”, “Listen to your hear” and extracts from interviews with Marie and Per in Swedish.

Legendary “Parkens paviljong” on the Swedish Radio

by

As The Daily Roxette informs on its Facebook page Swedish public radio P3 broadcasted the 25th episode of “Livet är en fest” (Life is a party) programme called “Halmstads pärlor, del 1” (Halmstad’s Pearls, part 1). This radio programme included some of early Gyllene Tider and Marie Fredriksson’s gems like “Parkens paviljong” recorded in 1977 and songs from Strul and MaMas Barn record in good quality. Old interviews with both Marie and Per were used, but nothing new – except great music cuts – were revealed.

Next Thursday at 9 pm CET – second part will be aired. The second part will be on the Roxette’s career.

Clarification on the case Nojet / Live Nation vs. Biljett.nu

by

We were asked to share this clarification with you.

Clarification

The Swedish Market Court decided not to open the case Nojet / Live Nation vs. Biljett.nu regarding the right to sell tickets to the Roxette Concert in Halmstad last summer. Their reason being that the event had already taken place and the Court saw no reason to make a ruling in the matter.

They did not however, state that biljett.nu had the right to sell tickets, they just decided to not make a statement at all. Given the headlines in some Swedish media we want to make this clarification; no case, no winner.

As it was Nojet/Live Nation who initiated this case it is common law that the initiator has to pay for the expenses of the other party.

2010 tour bootleg: Halmstad, audio x 2

by

Time flies – 10 long, windy days passed since I had posted the last bootleg here on RXB. So now it’s a high time to present you two “new” audio recordings from one and only concert. Sweden’s Liverpool, Roxette’s hometown, småstad or whatever expression you would like to use – it’s all about rainy and cold Halmstad which got a little bit warmer on August 14th.

These two recordings have different quality, but I do hope you will appreciate hard and very exhausting work of two groups – Czech fans and so-called superduo Justyna & Kai 🙂

The first bootleg (let’s call it Czech) includes all songs – the last ones from Gyllene Tider are ripped from the well-known YouTube videos. The second one (it could be Polish-German one) has a nice cover plus all the songs except “It must have been love”, “Joyride” and two GT’s classics like “Sommartider” and “När alla vännerna gått hem”. So it’s up to you to choose which one is the bigger, the better.

To quote the Man:

Thanx for yesterday. A truly magic night that we’ll never forget. Rox were great, GT were great, the crowd was awesome!!!! Cheers, P.

P.S.
St. Petersburg in audio is still waiting in the line.
Do you have any other recordings?
Maybe you ripped any of these video bootlegs I posted.
