Audience recording from Stockholm 2002. This is my own recording and it turned out really nice. The sound is good and it was a good gig although no real suprises in the setlist. The concert begins with BA alone on an acoustic guitar doing "Back To You", but later joined by Keith and Mickey. But BA doesn't change to bass so no bass on that song, a bit strange. "House Arrest" follows, one of the more underrated BA rock songs, I like it very much and I am happy it returned to the setlist last year. "It's Only Love" feautures a long solo by Keith at the end which is a bit cool. After this we are transported through some old hits (not much new in this show). "When You're Gone" was cool, BA picked a girl, Kate (Katarina?? from Rågsved, Stockholm), from the audience who was so happy about being chosen that she jumped up on stage (while Bryan and the audience sang this) and gave BA a BIG hug, and lots of happy screaming from her too. To say that she was overenthusiastic is maybe an understatement (!). She was very funny and a great dancer, very sexy dancing. If she had a better voice she could easily have taken over the show. ;-) Her voice was not in a very good condition, I guess she had been screaming a lot when she was down in the audience. But it was great entertainment! After her performance she couldn't resist grabbing the microphone again to say hello to her mom and dad. :-) The last encore was "The Way You Make Me Feel Tonight" with BA alone playing an acoustic guitar. He has never recorded this song himself, it was given to Ronan Keating instead. I like it very much though and ncie to hear it like this with BA.

I don't understand why BA is doing almost the same show now as he has been doing for the past 3 years. Not much variation in the standard setlist and still the 3 piece band. The most suprising thing during this concert was that they forgot to play "Thought I'd Died And Gone To Heaven" (according to BA) and did it later in the set instead causing a bit of confusion for themself. More confusion please! And keyboards... At least they were not wearing completely white clothes this time like the last time I saw them in November 1999, 2,5 years ago (gosh, times flies!). No big video screens this time either. But BA seems to enjoy doing these shows night after night and he is good at it. He must love it, as simple as that. At least big parts of the audience loved it very much. BA has loyal fans, and great hits. You can see two pics of BA from this show here and here. Remastered sound. Available on two CD-R.
