17/06/96 - PARKEN STADIUM, COPENHAGEN

Review by Andreas Kristensen:
My first BA gig! I can't really remember much, cos I was barely 12. It all started one day, when my dad said "We're going to Copenhagen, and see what rock 'n roll's really about"! I remember it being a cool night, with lots of people everywhere... It was a total sell-out w/ around 60,000 people and a great atmosphere... Highlights were the opener "The Only Thing" w/ BA on wah guitar, which sounded sooo great live, in those 18til I die days, when Adams played wah (and lead on more songs too!) during the song. Too bad he dosen't play wah on that anymore, cos it sounds awesome.. just take a look at some of the 1996-1997 TV-appearences. The b-stage I could'nt see much of, but it sounded great and was such a surprise! I read a danish news-article saying that The Rolling Stones and other big rock bands; took up the b-stage after BA "invented" the concept in the early 1990's.

The best thing, is that stadium gigs just sound so emotionally rocking... I mean it's the perfect place for a real summer-rocking gig! I hope BA's going to summer-tour, if the next album (if it's not coming later) is a chart-topper, cos I know he can fill our national stadium again and he haven't played it since 1996. I think it was the same set as the Karlsruhe 96 concert, that's out there as a radio boot.
