Encore


For the last song he asked the audience to make a circle on the floor and then he and his band went off-stage and played a Bob Dylan cover for us.

Joshua

This was Joshua's first gig in Malmö. He's played in Sweden before. Joshua played for an hour and a half. Talking in between the songs, telling us the stories behind each song. With only two albums released he didn't have too much material, but some of the best songs were there. He even treated us with 3-4 new songs he hasn't recorded yet. They were quiet rocky and in my opinion not very 'Joshua Radin'y. Can't wait to see how they will sound like on the next album.

He played a non-vamped and funny version of Sky with his band. No female voice here. The fire alarm went off during I'd Rather Be With You. Argh! The song I've been waiting for the whole night.

Game Over


Supporting act was Paul Oakenfold who entered the stage a little bit past 8 o'clock. He dj'ed for half an hour, even played the new Madonna single Celebration. The Madonna show started around 8.30 and lasted for two hours.

Overall it was a great concert even with the repeated dance routines and performances from her different appearances. 50000 was present at Parken stadium, Copenhagen. It was 100% live singing, but 80% out of tune. I guess she is forgiven though with two hours of non-stop dancing, jumping and singing.

Liked:
* Music - perfect song to play live
* Devil Wouldn't Recognize You - cool effects from the screens
* Miles Away - simply a great song
* You Must Love Me - acoustic, it felt honest
* Frozen - liked this version
* Give It To Me - the grand finale with the cool laser show
* Liked that Hung Up was excluded. Really hate this song.
* Especially liked the big screens that transformed themselves and moved around the stage and turned it into different sceneries.

Hated:
* Human Nature - totally uninspired
* The Spanish/Balcan session.
* Ray Of Light live is so outdated. Never liked this song.

More From The Concert

It was an OK concert. She's beginning to be a little lazy. Too much of the same songs and dance routines in my opinion. But it's a Madonna concert. You never get disappointed when leaving the show.

Towing The Car

From Another Angle

Accident

There was an accident outside my parents' home today. The car was upside-down. Seems like only this car was involved. Two persons were in it and luckily they weren't hurt. Just a little bit shocked. I heard the crash but thought that it was the thunder at first. Not until I heard one of the neighbors talking to one of the many people and cars that have stopped did I realize it was an accident when I went out to look. Awful, isn't it?

"Don't Wade In The Water", "The Biggest Flood Ever", Or "Whatever"

Yesterday was like this:

17.15 - Entered the gym to take my usual 40 laps in
the pool. Still hot and humid outside.

18.30 - Done and ready to go home. The sky was opened.
The rain just poured down like never before. Got stuck
at the gym since there was a big flood outside the
entrance doors that blocked everyone from leaving and
entering the gym. The pond was 10 -- 15 cm deep!
Water was seeping in from the outside at the floor of
the cafeteria at the gym. This is a newly renovated place!
How could they make the ground slope in such a way that
rain so easily could build up a pond! Unacceptable.



19:30 - The rain finally stopped, but the pond didn't
look to become smaller. The guys at the gym had to
let us leave from the emergency exit.

19:45 - Came home and saw that there was a 15 - 20 cm
deep pond outside the basement storage door. Felt sorry
for people with stuff in the basements. There must have
been a flood everywhere now.



21:00 - Went to the basement to check on my storage
space. The flood outside was gone, but there was
still a lot of water in the basement. Decided not to
go in after all.


Today:

7:45 - Got text message from a friend in the neighborhood
that there was a flood in his storage space. He and his
girlfriend were rearranging stuff. Some stuff were destroyed
by the water. Still a lot of water in my basement. Decided
not to go in.

21:15 - Most of the water was gone in the basement. Luckily
and amazingly the water didn't reach my storage space. It
was dry there, but the rest of the basement was still wet.
