Concert Review, Øyafestivalen

Best @ Øyafestivalen 2012 – day3

    • THE BLACK KEYS
      A bit “slow” in the beginning.. didn’t really kick off before GoTC got us jumping. You get a strong White Stripes vibe, especially when Dan Auerbach & Patrick Carney plays alone.. and that’s a good thing.
      Great “party blues rock”.. but not as great as Afghan Whigs on Thursday 🙂
      And btw.. it’s not before/after Danger Mouse.. it’s just: “The Black Keys”.
      Best Songs:       Little Black Submarines, Lonely Boy & Gold on the Ceiling
      –
    • LIGHTSHIPS
      Lovely summer music. Sun, Beer, relaxing.. & listening to “Teenage Fanclub”… sorry.. Lightships. Yes, it’s much the same.. and that’s Good. Gerard Love has, after all, written many of TF’s best songs.


  • AMUND MAARUD
    Very cool stuff. Hard Rock Blues… with quite a few soul elements. Mr Maarud really rocked and gave us a fine start to “Friday @ Øya”.

  • OFWGKTA
    Well… it was fun.. and a bit fascinating. Lot of energy, irony, “bitches”, “niggaz”.. etc. But I guess that’s the deal. We @ JV might be a bit too old to really get this stuff.. and frankly.. I’m not that interested.

  • BUSHMAN’S REVENGE
    Well at least we tried… and didn’t get it.
  • SUSANNA
    They are quite good at what they do, but maybe the bookers at the Oyafestival this year have booked one too many of the melancholic women. I saw the whole concert but got bored, I would have loved to see them at a club where I could give them my full attention. I believe it would have suited them much better.

Concert Review, Øyafestivalen

Best @ Øyafestivalen 2012 – day2

Best:

  • THE AFGHAN WHIGS
    Great concert! Best performance so far @ Øya 2012. They still have a lot to prove. Greg Dulli has a soulful rock voice & nice stage present. But I feel this is first and foremost a great band.. the total is greater than the sum of it’s parts.
    Best Songs: City Solei, Debonair, 66 & Gentlemen
  • ST. VINCENT
    I did not know what to expect from St. Vincent.. did not do my homework.. only listened briefly to her/their last record… and did not like it that much.
    The Concert was very positive experience… it was intense, focused & rock solid. I liked the songs far better live than the studio versions…. Annie  Erin Clark even reminded me a bit about PJ Harvey 🙂
    Hallgeir:  I really looked forward to see them, and I was not disappointed, great concert!
  • CASA MURILO
    Must be one of the best kept secrets in the pop world, what a revelation! Warm pop, good melodies and done with heart, just lovely and I’m really looking forward to their new album this autumn. They debuted a new song to Oslo, it was very nice, and I mean that in the best possible way.
  • BARONESS
    Good band, solid performance… but too heavy for me.. 6 songs was enough… over to Hallgeir “Metal” Olsen:
    Hallgeir: Not too heavy at all! A great hardrock band (with a bit prog thrown in). Good solid concert from one of the very few “metal” bands that I can stand.
  • BILLY BRAGG
    We got what was expected. Always in need to “preach”.. waging a war against cynicism.. but that’s his “calling”. And he is good at it. Solid performance.

Other:

  • JONAS ALASKA
    Nice enough.. but rather boring.
  • FRANK OCEAN
    20min late.. and left after only 4 (good) songs. It was announced from the stage that he was sick…
    I feel he should have have shown the audience some respect and at start up declared something like: “Sorry I’m late.. I don’t feel well.. but I’ll do my best..”. Frankly – Frank – this felt a bit “fishy”.

Bruce Springsteen summer 2012 concerts – Playlist

2 Comments

Based on setlists from all “Wrecking Ball Tour” shows, and considering the latest trends, I’ve put up a list of songs and their estimated probability to get played in the coming concerts. I’ve also created a spotify playlist.

This is off course estimates and Bruce alters his setlist for every concert. But some songs have been played in every concert this tour thus far, and many have gotten relative many plays. My aim is to hit over 80% on the 2 coming show in Bergen, Norway (July 23/24).

  • I will limit my playlist to 35 songs, and the list might change on every update.
  • playlist expanded to include 46 songs – on july 20
  • playlist expanded to include 47 songs – on july 22
  • I will update after each show
