The Ark in Gothenburg

Myes. A little randomly, we decided to go see The Ark in Gothenburg.

It’s sad, that The Ark are quitting. The Ark is,without any kind of doubt, Swedens best live act as well as Swedens best inspirationsource. Listening to Ola Salo… he really touches your heart! And the show, Oh my god. When they go, a part of my heart will be missing. Love to all of you.

It was pretty much the same setlist as earlier, however, haha this is incredible. Before the show started I was thinking to myself “Hm. Last time I saw them in Gothenburg, they opened with ‘Absolutley No Decorum’, will they do it this time as well?” because in Karlstad earlier this year, they had begun with AND’s beginning and then “Hey Modern Days”. And would you know – They did open with “Absolutley No Decorum”! Else it was yes, pretty much the same.

I always get as happy as a little child when they do “Disease”, I love it, easily my favourite song. Overall it was a fine show, and it was incredibly fun seeing Eric Young from Crashdiet running around being their roadie. Now I’ve catched him twice at places he shouldn’t be at. What the fuck. Oh well. I salute you, The Ark. Can’t believe the end is near.

Hm. I have various versions of this moment. Both from Karlstad this year, and also from Svedala Sommarrock back in ’07. Gonna dig it up!

Also listening like hypnotized to the preview of Jay Smiths “Like A Prayer” on iTunes store. I can’t wait until I get the fucking record. It’s something of the best I have heard.. the arrangement! Oh my god.
