And the bands played on...

So, with this I have three more weeks to work at Ericsson. It feels strange and I guess it will be very weird when I'm home. And it will be rather sad to leave, it's been a good time and I have really enjoyed what I've been doing.

The past week was really good though! Took the opportunity to work from home, catch up with some documentation and so. And combine that with some concerts. 2 times Anthrax, Turbocharged & Wasted, Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, Marco Mendoza and yesterday S.O.T.O. A lot of good music and I really enjoyed the shows. But I must admit that the S.O.T.O show really stood out. Fantastic band and Jeff is amazing, it was great fun!

And now there are three Joe Lynn Turner shows coming up. That will be great too but I'm a little afraid I've pushed my expectations a little too high. I don't doubt the band and Joe will sound great but when it comes to the setlist... We'll see. Supercharged!

Cheers

Hellweek now

On the other hand, I can't say the week will be hell since there will be so many cool concerts but ok, I'll be damn tired on Sunday that's for sure! It will be worth it though, doubtless.

So, keeping my fingers crossed, the week starts with Motörhead, Saxon and Girlschool tomorrow. Then a Saxon headline gig with Dirty Passion as Support on Wednesday. Thursday it is Quireboys and The Gloria Story at Sticky Fingers. Should be fun.
Weekend starts off with Judas Priest and UFO at Löfbergs Arena in Karlstad and the last one, Slayer, Anthrax and The Haunted at Lisebergs Hallen. The downside is all time spent travelling. Good one is that I could use my points at Scandic and get a free night in Karlstad. Free is good.

I've applied for photopass for all shows but it can be messy and I need to decide what's worth missing for photos. Normally with these big events I can't carry my camera with me and I have to use the ticket to the show for the headliner... Not a good deal but it's cool to get to "shoot" these big bands also... We'll see what happens.
Saxon at KB is settled without issues and so should Quireboys also be.

My foot still hurts rather bad though. Probably should have had it checked but it feels late now. Standing for Black Star Riders was painful. And having cats around didn't help. To avoid stepping on the cats I hurt my foot again instead. Hope it holds for all the coming shows.

Cheers E
