Wohoo! I had SUCH a great great night last night! Of course, I've paid for it today with extremely tired feet, but dammit... IT WAS WORTH IT!
See, here in this city Borås they have this thing during the summer called SummerThursdays. :-) It means that every Thursday during summer the stores are open until late in the night, all the coffee-shops as is all the pubs and nightclubs and such... AND! There is a free concert on the main city square! :-D With various artists and various music genres. :-) And last night? Last night it was rock / heavy metal on the schedule... :-D And HOLY SHIT! It rocked! :-D So much!
The band playing called themselves Metal Allstars... because they are just a bunch of friends from various rock / heavy metal bands that like to play together. :-) And did they EVER! Had the entire city square singing along and cheering to old rock / heavy metal classics like Living after midnight (Judas Priest), Enter Sandman (Metallica), T.N.T + Highway to Hell (AC/DC), Ace of Spades (Motörhead), Here I Go Again (Whitesnake).... Of course they played a lot more from other classic rock / heavy metal bands, but those are the ones I remember right now. :-) Oh, it was SO MUCH FUN!
The members of Metal Allstars are these: Mats Levén (a brilliant rock/metal singer, my gawd what a voice!), Kicken Lundqvist (drummer who used to be a member of The Poodles), John Levén (bassist from the old band Europé) and also Pontus Norgren (who is from the band HammerFall).
I was standing quite far back, where I could lean and sit on a low stone wall. :-) I could still see the stage pretty good and I avoided the heaviest bas from the speakers (didn't wanna go into labor then and there... X-D ). Nerd Jr seemed to enjoy the music though, moving around in there when the music was playing! :-D I wasn't there alone, of course.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spicehobbit was with me to, and we had a great night! Even though music like this is not her kind of music normally. :-) She usually listens to musicals, folkmusic and such... But we still had a lot of fun!
Of course we took a few photos, but not many came out good. :-P Here are the two that did though. :-) Can click both for bigger.
( Two photos from the night! )
They kept it up from 9pm to 10:20pm, so that's pretty good for a free concert, I'd say! :-D Not all artists and bands that have played here have kept up for that long. :-) Really awesome! And afterwards they were to play at a nightclub to from midnight onwards. :-) Of course, me and my belly couldn't deal with that, but still... It was brilliant to watch them live on the city square. :-D
I checked YouTube today, just on a whim... and HELLO! Someone has managed to get some great photoage from the concert with pretty good sound to! :-D I highly suggest you check it out!:
( Metal Allstars LIVE in Borås! )
After all that music, me andspicehobbit went to check the busses... and promptly had to wait for 30mins before my next bus would arrive. :-P So we just had a sitdown and talked like us two old friends do all the time. :-) About EVERYTHING. :-D A brilliant ending to a brilliant night. :-)
