Well,
what can I really say bout it, It was fab, and I think I won´t ever
experience anything much like that again. Firstly I have to say even though
I
am complaining a lot about the weather and the late let-in, and the loss
of some of the bands I think the ppl working at the concert did their very
best to get it all running OK and to make the audience have as great time
as possible ! And I don´t know how the pics went after it was raining
all the time, and I´ll leave them in first tomorrow so...
A'right,
Let´s review *s*
98-08-08
6.40am - 98-08-09 03.10
Woke
up and couldn´t possibly get to sleep again, cos I just had one thing
in my head - BOYZONE so I woke Paula (my mate who was goin too) and we
watched some TV and at 9 my dad finally went up, then we ate some breakfast,
couldn´t get down much, and made some bring-with-us sandwiches and
then we went down to the car, to get down to my dad's TV studio to pick
up the tickets which were there. Then we were finally goin, great feeling,
and we drove up to Helsingborg to take a boat over to Helsingör. We
had booked to the boat at 11.40, but we came already down (after all my
pressure) at 11am so we catched an earlier boat... After 20 minutes with
boat we were over, and tried to find our way to CharlottenLunds travbana,
an horse racing track which the concert were on. When we finally came right.
We ran up to the enterance (me and Paula) just to find out there was just
about 200 ppl there, no need to hurry at all, but there we were. After
we've been there just about 20 minutes it began to rain, so we just hoped
for the rain to pass soon (which it did NOT) and for the enterance to open
soon (which it certalinly did NOT). At 14.00pm, the time we was supposed
to get in the doors still didn´t open, and not 14.30, not even 15.00
it opened, and it kept raining, and we were soooooo wet, and thought all
the way through those hours, is this really worth it ? (myself I was almost
sure that when we finally got in they´d say that Boyzone had cancelled)
But finally at 15.40 we got in, and we ran to the stage to get good places,
but when we got half way through the track, we heard some tunes from the
stage - No Matter What, first we thoght it was just some music they played
to keep us entertained, til the concert should begin, but noooooooo how
wrong we were, when we came closer we heard, this was for real, and I promise,
this fast we've never runned before, so we came to the stage, and who stood
there singing with umbrellas if not - OUR BOYZ, and they were already half
ways through the song, but as lucky we were this was only a warm up, and
Keith said they´d be back at 22.00pm (yeah, right !) I took some
pics before they got offstage. Then at 16.20 the commentator of the concert
finally arrived, and god was he cute or what *wonder how many pics I took
on HIM* and introduced one of all the bands, I'm not sure which one came
first, but here are (most of, I think) the bands that were on the concert
:
Tuesdays
Hit
n' Hide
Cartoons
US
Daze
Drömhus
Alexia
All
Saints
Boyzone
Tuesdays
song, It´s Up To You seemed very popular by the audience, but I wasn´t
very impressed, cos it was playback (not my fave really, when the bands
does playback). Hit n' Hide's Space Invaders weren´t playback, and
they did it twice also. Kewl band, that - Hit n' Hide... Cartoon were weirdos
really, gotta say there were really lots of Danish bands there, most bands
were, and I didn´t get most of what they said either. us were a band
I hadn´t heard of, but they were very good, and one of the guys were
also cute. I think one of their songs were called Fly... the time
between the different bands there was a huge TV screen where they were
filming the audience (I was on it, I think twice) and also they showed
the PEPSI commersial which starred Boyzone and Let The Message Run Free,
it was soooo great, BOYZONE are OUR GUYS ! N-e-ways, Daze's Tamagotchi
got a huge response from the audience. I was surprised even thou Drömhus
is a Swedish band almost everyone knew the lyrics (in Swedish) to Vill
Ha Dej (in English "I Want You") and sang along, wasn´t expecting
that. Alexia with Uh La La La was brilliant, and then finally All Saints
came on stage, how cool, Melanie is (as I guess ya all really knew) VERY
pregnant, and they because of that didn´t so very much dance routines,
but they still were FAB and played about one hour with hits like I Know
Where It´s At, Never Ever, Lady Marmalade, and Under The Bridge they
really caught the audience. In my opinion they are nowadays best girl band,
one of the best ever ! N-e-ways, then after tha Saints there was a looong
waiting time (which felt like a lifetime) til they musicians played the
first tunes of A Different Beat, then they entire audience were screaming,
including me, and when we finally saw Ronan's gorgeous face no one could
stand still. Then they came one after one up on stage - Stephen, Shane,
Keith and Mikey sang A Different Beat. Then What Can You Do For Me
came on, and it's always been one of my fave songs, and they did it beautiful
too, no playback here, Boyzone are for real ya know ! *s* Must Have
Been High came on from the new album Where We Belong, followed by Isn't
It A Wonder. Then when Baby Can I Hold You came on all the fans began to
scream again (myself I never stopped...) and after that the best tune (in
my opinion) of the evening came on - Stephen's Herculestune, Shooting Star
! The entire stage was closed down, and all the other Boyz went off the
stage and left Stephen there with a spotlight. He sang, and smiled and
gave his all in that song, gotta love that bloke ! Also I think this was
a really cool experience - He looked my way, and I couldn´t
resist blowing him a kiss, then he actually SAW that, cos he catched it
and returned it and pointed at me, looked in my eyes and smiled ! No kidding
- he did. *Gorgeous Stephen, I´ll never stop loving you !* Then the
song was over way to fast. Then Heaven Knows from the Different Beat album
came on, bit surprising maybe, but it was fab. Then All THat I Need came
on, everyone sang along. I belive everyone knew songs like BCIHYT and ATIN
but not the ones like What Can You Do For Me, ya know, the older songs,
Wonder how many real Boyzone fans there really were (Xept the 3 ones I
know *s*)... N-e-ways again, All That I Need was a great tune, and after
that followed the brill song from Whistle Down The Wind - No Matter What,
I love that duet between RO and STEVE it´s great ! Then the
good ol'e Picture Of You came on, and even though I am sooo tired of thatone
in reality it was really great in concert ! Then the Boyz went out, and
I thought, it was the end, but we kept clapping and screaming "BOYZONE"
so they came on once more to sing us Melting Pot, great tune ! Then they
thanked us for coming, and hen it was over, seemed just like a dream, can´t
belive it happened ! The *gorgeous* commenter came on again, and thanked
us all for coming, and then was over, cos they were only allowed
to hold the concert til midnight, and all the ppl began running out, the
ground was so saucy and wonder HOW much danish mudd there must be now in
the car. *LOL* Some girls fell down also, and myself I was really near,
cos there was so much pressure. It was kinda cold too, cos we were all
wet, some more than the others too. It was raining through the whole concert,
didn´t end til the concert did, but I´m sure we all got a memory
of life ! Thanks Boyzone - STephen, Ronan, Shane, Keith and Mikey and all
the other band that were on. We had a great time ! The entire concert seemed
to last just about 10 minutes ( it was 1 hour, and 10 mins ) and it was
brilliant, fabolous - GREAT !
