I went to Cirkus around 9 am and I heard from some of the people PSB weren´t going to come before 4 pm. So I only decided to stay. After a couple of hours I was the stage truck coming and thought PSB might come soon too. But they didn´t. Then a bus arrived and some lighting guys came out. I went to talk to the driver and I told I´m from Finland and he said he´s too. This is how it all began then......
He drove the bus on a parking place and he said he could organize me something because I came all the way from Finland, maybe a backstage pass. ( don´t get too excited yet). I was so amazed. He said he´ll talk to the tour manager and I saw them talking and heard I will get one. But the driver explained there´s no way of getting to dressing rooms. I asked if I could see the soundcheck and he said it might work. So they were building the stage and I saw from a schedule that PSB will have a soundcheck at 4 pm. The hours went by and the bus driver came to me and said let´s go and see the soundcheck.
When we got there there was only the technical support there. We waited for a while and then one little man with NO cap in his white shirt came on stage. I noticed immediately it was Chris. I asked if I could go to the floor in front of the stage and see the soundcheck. But when I got there one of the crew said I couldn´t stay there so I went sitting on a bench. Soon also Neil came there and they practised some movements and Chris was playing something with his keyboard. They tried a couple of songs too. And I saw something very unordinary, Neil was dancing ! They played for example Before and Always on my mind. Then Neil and Chris went off and didn´t come back.
I had to go out and wait for the concert to begin with other fans. I had to go to my seat through the floor where people were standing but I noticed free space at the front row so I stayed there the whole show. I loved the show. And when Neil played the guitar he was right in front of me
After the concert I went outside but soon realised PSB weren´t going to come out from that side so I went to the other side of Cirkus. After a while one guy came to me and said I can get to the backstage because I have the guest pass. So there was me, West End Girls and their dad and few other people who got there. When we went there first Sylvia came and said hello and after a while Neil came and shook hands with us. And then little sweetheart Chris came. I immediately went to say hello to him and shook hands with him too. Then happened somthing I didn´t want to happen. Chris didn´t have cap or sunglasses and I took a photo of him. When I took it Chris turned his head around to avoid the photo. Chris said to me "no photos without a permission " and Neil was standing there near and said I have to believe Chris so I did´t try to take a photo of him anymore (I took one, really, but not gonna show it to anyone, because it doesn´t have Chris´s permission). Then I tried to take one of Neil and he told me to put my camera in my bag. And I did. When I saw Chris talking to Neil I noticed Chris looked at me a couple of times so I guessed what he was thinking.Then Chris went to put glasses and a hat on. Then they took photos with West End girls and then I asked Chris if I could take a photo with him and he agreed so I went sitting in front of him and asked Neil to come too. The other one from the West End girls took a couple of photos of us. Then Chris went away and I remembered that I had to ask for autographs. So I only got Neil´s signature.
After the backstage happening I went with two guys fro New York to the after party. I managed to talk to the portier that he let´s them in. We were drinking there (I drank coca cola, don´t like alcohol) and after an hour the other guy went to the toilet but soon came back and told Neil had just come in. He sat around a table in the corner with some of the crew. But no Chris in sight. Dave Dorrel told Chris hadn´t felt very well and had gone to sleep. Neil left the place around 1 am. He was completely drunk. I shook hands with him before he left and his hand was so sweaty. Well, we were all, it was so full there.
There you go. It was marvellous concert. And here are some of my 150 photos:

I couldn´t post the soundcheck and one of the backstage ones because I don´t have a permission to them. Like that Chris´s photo, I mentioned.
At the end of the gallery you can see 2 photos of me and PSB and my signed Behaviour cd and guest pass.
And forgot to mention I asked Chris why he didn´t play Paninaro
I didn´t get an answer actually
When I was in the Abbes hostel for 2 night the sheets there were from Ikea too. I need to get that kind of lamp 
Well Done on getting a back stage pass!!! That's a very 'rare' opportunity you had there.
