THANK YOU SO MUCH Laetitia It was a very special moment for me, and I suppose that a totally insignificant moment for Joey and John ... sounds a little hard, but real , I think they are very used to a fan to come and greet them. Anyway ...
Special for me because I've wanted always to have a picture with John Norum , ... so many times his solos have moved me live, they made me cry that I needed to shake his hand and record that moment through a photo. This feeling has always been in struggle with my believef that I have never wanted to upset the band and if I have done it, I'm very sorry, I was never the intention to do so.
Let me tell you how it happened
On Friday, Michaela and I arrived in Bilbao and at the door of the hotel we saw Ian Haugland, whom we greeted. We didn't know they were going to be there, we took the hotel months ago ...
After the concert we were taking something to drink in the lobby of the hotel, there were no fans, just there were people who were installed in the hotel but didn't recognize them. At a certain moment I saw how John Norum enters the door, crosses in front of reception and goes to the elevators, automatically without letting Michaela tell me anything (LOL) I got up and went to him, I did not think about it, I did not know what I was going to tell him and sincerely I did not care, but John Norum (my hero) and I, were in the same geographical coordinates and that made that I had to get to him. I greeted him, introduced myself, gave him my hand, and congratulated him on the great concert they had given, at that moment Joey Tempest came over, ... I greet Joey and I asked them for a picture, they were very kind, they smiled at all times and they agreed to take a picture with me.
I apologize if at that time I could disturb them, they were really nice but they came from the concert and it was clear that they wanted to go up quickly to the room to rest. As I said for me it will always be a moment very special lived ... so thanks to both.

For me one of the best EUROPE's concerts I have attended.
I already know how the people in Madrid love EUROPE and in Spain in general, the two previous nights Bilbao and Zaragoza were very good too, both King King (the opening act) and Europe managed to create a great atmosphere and the people responded very well in both of them. But on Sunday there was a different atmosphere, already in the queue of the street there were many people, there was desire to have a good time, good rock. Maybe La Riviera is not a room with the best sound but I can assure you that it is one of the best in terms of the climate generated there and how the people clothe the band, how they are able to have jumping and raising the arms to the people of the first rows and the last ones, how they are capable of everybody singing, and shouting and cheering them, it was really magical. I'm from Madrid but I am being as objective as possible, it was an unforgettable concert and I think the band understood it, the first reason because it was the last one of the tour and I think they were all happy and relaxed, and then because people they hugged them. That communion made Sunday an unforgettable rock moment. The press in Spain is making them very good reviews, I even read that EUROPE is a band for Madrid to perform in places of greater capacity, and it makes sense, LA RIVIERA has a capacity of about 2,500 people but is that the last 2 times who they have come to Madrid EUROPE has been SOLD OUT ... well someone have to think about it. Joey was absolutely delivered, friendly, very good vibes, interacting with people, and with a powerful voice, PICTURES sounded so good! John Norum was masterful as always but also very funny, I don't know if you have seen the picture where John puts the guitar Joey between his legs hehe. And the rest of the band members as always playing luxury. Among the audience were the guys from ECLIPSE who play today in Madrid and were making photos with everyone, they were very kind. And after the concert we were all with a feeling of happiness to have lived a great night. Great EUROPE! They have to keep going, there is a lot of EUROPE still ... they have to rest and I suppose to make decisions for the future, for upcoming albums and concerts, but what they did the other day in Madrid tells us many things and one of them is that they are capable of everything, ...
