Rocktoberfest


Me and Stian attended Rocktoberfest at Blårock in Tromsø last night.
There were three bands playing. The first one was a local band called The Considerate Lovers.
I've heard them play live many times before and they're just getting better each time.
Second band up were The Twistaroos. They were just awesome. Great performance!
Last band up were the legendary The Fleshtones. I always get a little skeptic when I hear "they are the best live band in the world!".
But quotes like these made me wonder.

«The amazing thing about the Fleshtones is that every night for the last thirty years they have consistently been the best live band on earth»
- Peter Buck (R.E.M.)

« Seeing The Fleshtones live makes me wanna disband U2, cause they are so extremely much better on a stage than anything else in the world»
- Bono (U2)

Two songs into the gig and I knew it was true. This is by far the best live performance I ever seen.
The guys had unlimited amounts of energy, running back and forth playing off stage, building human pyramids, doing push ups, made people from the crowd do push ups (including me :S).
I'm so happy we decided to go last night!
