Europe - In The Future To Come

Yesterday Europe was in town for a concert at the Hovet, Stockholm with them on the Scandinavian tour they had the Swedish rock band Mustasch.

The band has one of Sweden's most nicest crew were all are absolutely gorgeous, I know almost everyone very well, some private and others through the profession, this makes the job rolls on how smoothly.

However, the band had hired additional equipment from a company here in Sweden for the Scandinavian part of the tour. Even where there were familiar nice faces, but one that should not be allowed to work with other people, his bitterness and hateful external pulls down the atmosphere drastically. A person who really wants to show who's boss, but do it in an incredibly clumsy way, so it also affects his own colleagues, very rotten in my opinion. Which meant that both my colleagues and I wanted to go and hide when he showed up. So, no more bullshit, but back to yesterday's gig.

Europe, a band that really sounds good live, good sound is obvious when the band plays, a breathtaking light show with some simple means, so value for money you get show-wise. While the song selection was magnificent for Europe-fan, classics mixed with new tracks. The band looked very fresh, though they have been out a long time on tour.

This evening was a little special in all means, it's exactly 30 years after the tune "In The Future To Come" won them a record deal in 1982. So this tune was on this evenings setlist (see below).

Europe is a Swedish rock band formed in Upplands Väsby in 1979 under the name Force by vocalist Joey Tempest, guitarist John Norum, bassist Peter Olsson and drummer Tony Reno. Since its formation, Europe has released nine studio albums, three live albums, three compilations and nineteen videos.

Todays tune "In The Future To Come" is taken from the first self titled studio album. It was released on March 14, 1983, by Hot Records.
