Väsby Rock Festival

This years Väsby Rock Festival got cut short due to me having to catch the Quireboys playing in Stockholm. Still some good bands and good music despite missing W.A.S.P. and Michael Schenker.

Astral Doors were very nice to see yet again and they almost played all the songs I wanted to hear. They deserve to be bigger than they are, such good music.

Väsby Rock Allstars started out quite bad and I thought it was going to be very bad. It got better than Johnny Lima did two good covers and it got excellent when Thomas Vickström performed three songs. So fun to hear his old song Free Like An Eagle (Talk of the town) from my youth. He is such a good singer. Cherie Currie of the Runaways did three good songs also before it was time for Tony Martin to do three Black Sabbat songs from his tenure with the band. The Shining sounded great but he got all of Väsby rocking with the Headless Cross.
The backing band were of shifting quality but Chris Laney and Nalle Påhlsson were both excellent.

Friday evening finished with Danger Danger which were fun to see after eleven years but I had to leave early so I could get home.

Saturday were cut short due to the Quireboys show the same evening but one band has to be mentioned and that were Work of Art. A bit similar to Toto and quite energetic on stage. Good show.

Alice Cooper at Gröna Lund and Furuvik

Not many times I get to see a band two days in a row. But Alice Cooper played first at Gröna Lund in Stockholm and then at Furuvik in Gävle. So a good time would be had.

Gröna Lund is a good place but unfortunately one has to come early to be certain of getting in and there is not many seated places there so one has to stand up a long time in there which is kind of hard. But Alice Cooper were good. Not the best I have seen him but I cannot complain.

The following day Alice Cooper played at Furuvik entertainment park in Gävle. This is a very good concert place with a lot of green areas. The Alice Cooper show were the same as the day before with the same setlist but that didn't matter as it was yet another good concert.
