Finally I have found some time to edit my summary video from my trip in the US in January 2016, following EUROPE in Tour for six dates and travelling through California, Nevada and Arizona.  Every single bit of this video has a special meaning to me, even those that apparently may seem awkward or having nothin' to do with the story telling...  Lots of things happen actually during a Europe Tour and even if I am not always ready to catch everything with my camera, often someone else does, among my friends or even unknown people in the crowd do... and in case nobody catches the valuable scenes, I don't think I will ever forget them anyhow, forever stamped in my mind and in my heart! So, some symbolic stills or frames are there too.  Each of my friend in this Tour will find himself or herself here! I have shared wonderful memories with them all!!! Needless to say, this is a personal video, so please, don't share it inappropriately...ok?  |

Precious video, I love it  thanks for share it 
Michaela Italy , those first rows without people in some concerts  
OMG, it is unthinkable in EUROPE (the continent ) !! At least in places like Spain or Italy ... I want to go to a first row of a concert as well  !!! I think you refer to Chandler, Eva Tomorrow, The Wild Pass Horse Ovation showroom... it was a seated plan, those people that you see in front were either supposed to seat in first row or they were at risk to be asked by security guys to go back to their seats. Me too, I was going back and forth to my seat because I didn't want to upset completely Security... you know,the aisles for instance, had to be kept free for security and emergency reasons, they said... Well, I wonder what about emergency when we are all packed in different types of venues then!!! I have talked to Adam Parsons for this and the seated venues. He answered me that to organize such a complex Tour, they have to accept different types of venues. But I certainly agree with him on one point at least, that Theater was absolutely AWESOME!!! So, I am happy that the Band plays in beautiful places, where the acoustic sound can also be appreciated!!! |

Yeah,  It's fantastic ... I really like to see the band in small theathers, in beautiful venues as you said, have a special taste, ... I don't know, I really like, ... of the places I've seen live Europe particularly liked HAMMERSMITH APOLLO theater in London, I remember a very clean stage with wonderful lights, was a spectacle to see them there
Sure, I prefer to see the band in small places, not in big festivals, but the great places embrace the band in a special way, the photo of the band in front of 30,000 people in Sweden a few years ago is wonderful. But to live it, my favourite place is Shepherd Bush in London , a place with many levels that create a perfect environment to enjoy a good concert.
Incredible photo with Norum, friend  ... well actually I think are 2 photos, ? Where was taken ? Do you remember the city?

Incredible photo with Norum, friend ... well actually I think are 2 photos, ? Where was taken ? Do you remember the city? , it was in San Diego. Naoko and I have been quite lucky on that day. We met J&J at the airport in Vegas, all directed to San Diego. And in San Diego, when we descended the taxi in front of our hotel, John Norum was on the entrance door! I swear I did a face like: "this is UNBELIEVABLE!!!" He was heading to the soundcheck. And after the gig, we met him in the hotel lobby and he stopped by for half an hour with us. Very nice of him, he prefers small groups of people and doesn't like the official M&Gs. I don't blame him for that. And furthermore, in that occasion you could tell by his voice that he was having a flu! Veeeeery deep voice! And Joey commented: "He is a "flu" man!"...  |

What a great moment! Perfect stay few people and be able to talk to him, and difficult get it, as you know friend. Well, in fact, I understand if the band aren't too fan of M & G, they are there for talk with us, and is supposed to must smile, and is a totally artificial time in form but behind every person who is in the meeting is living a dream, so is difficult to value, I think the band understands it so well, with respect for the fans. Anyway, I also understand that John doesn't like that kind of situation, but on the other side for me was a magical moment lived. Last year John was in the Meeting in Dublin, (I think you met with him there also) the first date of the Tour over UK, I was very hopeful to see him in London , were end dates of the tour in UK and thought he could be there !! Unfortunately  he wasn't there, is my destiny not coincide with John Norum in the same space and time 
Michaela Italy you must have many stories of M & G, ... I've only been to one, and there was really funny moments.
This I have already told you, but I remember the moment just before going to talk to Joey, he did not have many people waiting, there was only one girl with him and I got far enough away to not disturb them, the girl was excited (just like me) LOL that started to sing Joey the song HERO,  not a piece of the song, the whole song! From the depths of my respect for the feelings of any fan towards this band I thought, "you have 2 or 3 minutes in your life to talk to Joey and you wasting time singing him!! Come on darling!  Joey's face was a poem ... and I was thinking, ok Eva, what I tell him now? LOL ...  , sing "Tomorrow" e.g or something like that?  ..." Amazing moments lived !  and thanks to the band because they are always very kind ....
What ? really FLU MAN

Joey has lot of humanity... he undertsands too, I am sure of it! uhmmm, ...the quote has not worked out perfect this time, uh? |

I am not the only fan doing crazy things and travelling around the world to support them, but yes, they know and always show the utmost respect and kind feelings too. They are very human and down-to-earth persons in this!!! Thank you for your words, I have read you will be in Rome, so see you there if not earlier at some other gigs!!! |
