I was genuinely surprised that literally everyone in the audience sang along already in the very first chorus (šŸŽ¶ Take on me… šŸŽµ). I was super cool to hear.

Also, they got the whole hall sing along in the chorus of their interpration of A-Ha’s Take On Me, which was really cool.

It is darn impressive when a band performs their songs live better than what they have on the record. There aren’t that many bands like that, but I can confirm that Leprous is definitely one of them.

I always wear ear plugs, I am good.

A bit clearer photo of the musicians, just in case.

It was busy. Both in good and bad way. But that is now past, let’s see what this year brings.

I went to see one of my favorite bands play live in August 2024. They were on their 40th anniversary tour back then, so I obviously felt quite old even though I had ā€knownā€ that band for ā€onlyā€ ~27 years.

Today I am seeing another one of my favorites that is also on their 40th anniversary tour. I find it a bit funny that the vast majority of the audience is well in their 40s and 50s. A bit different age distribution than at a stereotypical rock concert, I would say. But nowadays rock and metal is ā€old people’s musicā€. šŸ˜†

I know, I know…

Well, this book just introduced the world and the main characters and got the story rolling (in a bit over 400 pages), I expect the story to evolve quite a bit in the following volumes (of which I shall pick up the second volume from the library tomorrow).
