It was only a few blocks cab ride from our cool hotel to this cool venue. We played here last year and love the place. The Southside pub above is a cool upscale place to eat, specializing in all sorts of different hamburgers … With a good whiskey bar… Downstairs the cavern holds around 90 people and has a good sound system and good folks running it. Per, the kind manager of the cavern told us that the place had been sold out for a while, I know a lot of these fans.. including Hakan’s great brother Christer.. Who is a revered reporter on many subjects in this part of the world, I’m looking forward to seeing these folks tonight The Show This was a very loose and lived in show with lots of interaction with the audience… Goran was amazing… I loved every minute of this. Highlights from me were many… Including a very special version of Dance With A Hole In Your Shoe and a precious and chilling version of a song from the album Crazy Girl. Folks clapped for a long time after this one .. beautiful gentle stuff by Goran, made this so special on stage. Another new one, New York In Between was beautiful tonight with a similar feeling from the song previously mentioned.. total chill time for me!! For a certain segment of the show my wife Joan stole the show!!! Folks loved the sentiment of Joan Joan Joan and the song which became the title song of the new album A Song I Can Live With Big River and Clean Your Own Tables ( the song I wrote for Johnny Cash) were definite highlights tonight leading up to a beautiful version of Angel Of The Morning and a wonderful sing-along of Wild Thing in an understated but very cool and sensual manner… So soulful… Then came Fuck All The Perfect People with everybody singing along and when the folks kept clapping we stayed on stage for final number which was a beautiful and reverence Refugee Children with everyone singing along from their heart.what a beautiful ending loved this show.. thanks to all my friends love seeing you hope to see you again soon, Hi Riley… from the Akkurat. ..
