Concert report
The concert was marvellous as ever - and I really enjoyed that part. Reviews in local newspapers as overwhelmed as has to be expected:

The local organization can only be called lousy.
So lousy, that Leonard after half an hour said something like he was glad, that people came to see him even though it was under these circumstances.
The circumstances were, that even though people had queued up for hours, with only one (!!!!) little entrance really many missed the start of the show. And not only the start, but up to 45 - 60 minutes of the concert.
And as the place could easily be overlooked, Leonard must have been aware of that like we were, while sitting on the tribune.
We paid 50€ extra pr. ticket to be seated. According to the plan from tribune A there should be a really good view.
But the tribune had been moved away from the scene, allowing a free space for people to get their beer from a bar situated besides the scene.
And that was very disturbing, additionally people on the tribune were chatting, as the tribune had been placed, so most of the seated people with the most expensive tickets could not see the scene at all.
The local event manager said in an interview, she could not see a problem in people missing the first part of the show, even though they had queued up for hours - as the concert was 3,5 hours, everybody got their share.
Additionally: not enough toilets and if you wanted food before the concert, you had to qeue for 60 minutes - but only sausages or sweets were available.
Not a good venue - but only due to bad local organization.
Luckily we left the expensive seats quite early and swapped with some people standing right in front of the scene.
And could so enjoy the concert without disturbance and had a really great evening.
The set list included both Famous Blue Raincoat, Light As The Breeze and a full version of Closing Time, which we did not have time for in Copenhagen.
Leonard also took the time for small anecdotes and jokes (da doo dam dam) and blessings at the end.
(speedy driving, don't catch a summercold, etc).
A great evening, as I was lucky to get into the venue in time andso did not miss anything and left the tribune to be at the scene. Amazing atmosphere there.
Feels still like a dream having been at two so georgious concerts in a row.
