AH-MAZE-ZING, what can I say?!! Amazing...
A brilliant night was had at the Ericsson Globe - a giant white ball of an arena here in Stockholm... Carried away by the sounds of a full orchestra and soothed by Sting's smooth tones - at the same time!
Some of the songs sounded like they should always have been played that way like Roxanne, with the hear wrenching tones of the violins, cello and double bass...
And the most unbelievable version of Russians, and such a moving version of Fields of Gold... Well, I could name them all one by one - the whole concert was a fabulous experience. I spent half the night with goosebumps and the other half holding back tears at the beauty of it...
Thank goodness, because getting the tickets was a trial - you can't order them here with our Australian credit cards over the net or phone - but have to front up to an outlet for purchase, so after work on Tuesday after a few failed attempts over phone and net, I left work to run into the city to make it to the outlet and then back out near home before our fantastic yoga class...
Let me assure you, it was well worth the effort!
