Best Concerts 2010 (just because lists are fun)

i've obviously been to many more concerts than usual this year, and it's a bit funny.

the crasiest one:
GRAND ISLAND and HOWL on Samfunnet
i bought tickets in way good time before the show, i RAN to the hall to avoid cues and so on and when we arrived there was virtually noone there. we were alone. and it seemed they didn't sell that many thickets either. omg.
so. of course when the band was supposed to play and they started rigging (i went for Grand Island) i ran up to the fence and started shouting and talked much to the band, they laughed and responded and i got their autographs. espen wrote "kjære deilige sofie, vi sees!" or something. i was in heaven, danced like on drugs and they even dedicated a song to me. HA HA HA!!! i was high for two whole, long and wonderful weeks afterwards. the most utterly insane experience i've had to that date in this category.
which gave me the energy to bike all the way to trondheim (770 km or something) in order to go see them again. stupid radio interviewed me three times. but i got backstage, talked a lot to steven wilson and they announced my achivement over the mic to the audience. nice. i was a celeb for one night.
biking well spent.

another crazy one:
Alberta Cross - Parken
i shouthed and had this tshirt made with a stensil i got from their website. i tossed it up while they rigged (which is quite the achivement, it was pretty far up to the stage!) and it landed on the GUITARHEAD of all places. petter got really angry and tossed it right back into the audience. i tossed it back up somewhere in the middle of the concert and he picked it up and commented it over the mic! AWESOME! parken laughed at his comment and i shouted RISE FROM THE SHADOWS (as i had done the whole concert) and then they played it. he hang the shirt over the bassdrum, it's awesome to see some clips from the show, the shirt waves heavily due to the bass. i felt proud and thought i deserved an award or something.
at the very least.

The soundtrack of our lives
i love this band and ebbot scared the shit out of me. i sang (at least the lyrics i remembered) and became in even more love with the band after this. dancing the whole concert, i was insanely high afterwards.
amazing<3>LOVE when the artists talk between songs!! it's the best thing and the peak of entertainment EVER. aaaaah...! and the music. it made me cry so heavily because i had a very difficult period of my life and way to many things in my head and while standing there i couldn't keep it down at all.
i even cry when i here the song "the funeral" because the performance of this song was perfect.
they took me by surprise.
and i fully let them in under my though skin.

another rather surprising one:
joddski at døgnvill
they made such an appearance, and being in tromsø made me feel as patriotic as EVER and i felt like shouting bodø, jumping on stage and dance there with them. tight, good show, so much fun and the people of tromsø sang along.
but anyways, joddskis shows are very good! seen them twice. but at døgnvill they made me a proud Nordlænning.
i guess that kind of surprised me. i admitted my patriotism for the first time.
and moving to bergen made it even worse/stronger.

well well.

Youth pictures of florence henderson
they took me by surprise, the scene were almost overcrowded, but the songs we're so good and the whole experience was nothing like i thought it would be. i've never heard them before, just went out of.. leisure. and i HAD to buy a lot of merch due to the concert being way too awesome, almost. love<3

Dungen
SO GOOD!! but the barefooted bassplayer won the day.
such a drag that we arrived late to the show. we should have been shot for that.
they played thight and people sang along. no dancing tho. that put the whole thing a bit down.

kråkesølv - sinus
AH PERFECTION. bodøband playing for bodøaudience. they had a great time and played very thight. people danced, shouted, knew the lyrics and all in all created a good mood and shared the love.

ihab at parken
a very good show by young blood, the lyrics really surprised me but the way he sang them .. omg. i was in shock afterwards, thinking this must be one of norways best and most promising bands. at least, i have them close to my heart for that reason, i really think the talent of sigurd is stunning. but the theme of the lyrics could easily change a bit more. haha. because he writes them in such a manner i absolutely think he should expand his catelouge here. welly well. they're recording an ep or cd or something now and i'm very exited

But
Honningbarna at Bhcf
was indeed one the best concert of 2010 on my behalf. because there's just not enough dancing on other concerts, people stand too much still. or i've been busy taking pictures, or thinking or being bothered about someone else in the audience bullying me away, or standing in front or me or talking or whatever.
this tho. moshpits, crowdsurfing and ALOT of dancing, i was dripping wet afterwards, made this the best experience ever, and all i want is to relive it.
their music is VERY good, and the lead singer plays a fucking cello.
it almost broke due to all the insane dancing. but what seriously made the big it for me was the look on these guys faces during the show; they could not believe how awesome the energy was, how and why people could take off in this manner and after saying they've never been this far north before i guess we were the ones taking them by good surprise this time around! they even played new songs. ah. being teenagers all of them i guess this launching of their career will make their spirits even stronger. amazing. i'll never forget this cocktail of elements that made for a perfect concert. i even were sober this evening. ha ha!
perfect.
