Tabloid Aftonbladet gave them 3(5), complains about the bad sound.

Just back from Copenhagen where I saw the boys for the second time in two days

- at first: the Stockholm sho was good, but not great - Neil's voice drowned and was distorted at times, and having three slow songs in a row (Before et all.) when they just started to pick up pace was just idiotic.

The 'arena' is very cosy though and you got a family-reunion-feeling when being there, but what annoyed me the most was the audience! Tickets sold out in 10 minutes, and still 95% of the ppl there were SO stiff and non-interested (as it seemed) - while I was up dancing most of the time, NONE of the audience at the back (e.g. 90% of all the ppl there) did the same until Go West!!!!! that's sad! And even more disturbing was that there were almost more Depeche Mode-tshirts being worn than PSB-ones

Oh well, Copenhagen presented a better sound, but a dumpster to an arena *blurgh* and the acoustic versions were cut out (most likely due to lack of time) but I didn't care that much, Before and Home & Dry almost made me fall to sleep back in Stockholm

Alll in all, good - but could have been better!

CU soon boys!

I had a rather fat, tattooed guy beside me who shouted, just before the last number,
"I want to have your baby, Neil!"

Was he someone of you?

I didn´t hear that.
