My video of "Vasastan": I tried to fix the shaky video and distorted sound as much as possible in PowerDirector and AudioDirector, so it sounds and looks a bit better than the original video.  |

Just adding a quick thought: I know I've always been very vocal about wanting more changes in the setlist, both on this forum and on the official EUROPE forum, but I gotta be honest: When I was at the Oslo gig, I had a great time and sang and rocked along to all the songs!  So you gotta hand it to the guys: They know how to make kick-ass setlists!  |

A nice thing that happened: While we were waiting for EUROPE to go on stage, the venue was playing a lot of rock songs over the PA, such as "Black Betty" by Ram Jam, "Are You Gonna Go My Way" by Lenny Kravitz, "Learn to Fly" by the Foo Fighters... And last but not least, "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. By the time the first "Mama, oooh..." chorus started, a lot of people in the crowd were singing along, including me. Really nice. Then the song ended right before the opera part and the intro tape for "War of Kings" started. Now that's a cool way to start the show!  |

Oh, and the support band, The Vintage Caravan, was pretty good. I hadn't listened to any of their music before the gig, so I didn't know what to expect when the three band members went on stage. And then... BOOM! They had a ton of energy and enthusiasm, running all over the stage and headbanging like crazy. It made me wish I had long hair... Or any hair at all. LOL! XD Unfortunately I couldn't hear the vocals really well, but the music was quite rocking! |

So you gotta hand it to the guys: They know how to make kick-ass setlists! I know what you mean I think our "problem" is, most of the fans on this forum...including you and me, we have seen the band like 10 times. And it's pretty hard to come up with a satisfying setlist if you've been to that many shows. If this is your first Europe show....then that's a pretty cool setlist. And I think the band keeps this in mind while creating it. Anyway, cool videos and nice to hear you had a great time! Cant wait till november!  |

Thank you Stein for all these pictures and videos.  Im happy that you had such a great time ! (but hey, by the bye, it was a EUROPE show : that's always a great time !  ) So nice you had to meet the band ! The photo with Ian is especially fine : 2 great Norwegians with the same hair ! You look like 2 brothers ! And Norum, Leven and Mic : they seem so happy to meet you ! (that's not every time that Leven, especially, is smiling with fans...) Did you tell them that you are the admin of this amazing forum ? |

The photo with Ian is especially fine : 2 great Norwegians with the same hair ! You look like 2 brothers ! It relates to something that I've told some other fans: When I found out EUROPE reunited in 2003, I decided to grow my hair long because I wanted my hair to look like Joey's hair.  In the end, though, after years of losing hair, I decided to go for Ian's hairstyle instead.   Did you tell them that you are the admin of this amazing forum ? I didn't think about telling them about the forum at the time (I just got so starstruck I forgot about it), but I did tell John Norum that I have a fan site called Aphasia at wingsoftomorrow.com and he seemed to be quite happy about that. When I met Mic earlier that day, I greeted him and said we had met in Lakselv a few years ago and he said, "Yeah, you're Stein-Vidar, right?" And I felt like  That was awesome. |
