amazing!!
seriously great.

did a variety of songs.. mostly miseducation tracks. amazing!! i got so carried away that i threw my very expensive necklace on stage.. she picked it up and smiled.. very happy with the concert. very very happy

I saw that! It was a golden cross right? lol, I can hear that you're just as amazed by the show as I am. Anyway...

I'm literally lost for words. I won't write a long review this time, because I'm not going to do the concert any justice by describing it with words - And some people are not going to understand anyway. This tiny woman is a profound musical genius and there is nobody out there like her.

She performed for something like 2.5 hours and she was an hour late. The security guy told me, that Lauryn and the band had arrived early in the morning to set up the instruments and then Lauryn wasn't satisfied, so they had to do the whole thing over again. Basically they had been soundchecking the intire day, and so they were late. She performed like 10 Bob Marley songs, a dozen from Miseducation (Including When It Hurts So Bad, which she according to herself hadn't performed in many years), The First Time I Saw Your Face, Sinnerman, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, Lose Myself and all the Fugees hits (Incl. Zeaots). She did 5 or 6 encores. After singing Lose Myself with the band, she said "I want you to hear the words, this is what I'm saying..." and then sang first verse of the song acapella while the crowd was completely silent. It was breathtaking.

Marcel I saw you there! After the show. But I was too overwhelmed by the music we had just experienced to say anything. I hope you had a nice spot and enjoyed the show - I can't imagine that you think it was anything less than amazing...

Edit: Tiny pic from last night and a very, very positive review: http://ekstrabladet.dk/flash/anmeldelser/m...ticle319826.ece

Good to hear that Stine, sounds like a great concert to me. How about her voice? Is it getting better already?

It's raspy as always, but strong during the slower songs. You'll love it Glenn, trust me! Get a front row spot if you can.

More pics:

I don't know what this review says, but it has a nice photo posted. Maybe someone can translate.

Sorry guys I didn't see the other thread. Please move. Thanks

I'll try to stand in the front row, would love that. In a week from now is the Netherlands gig. I'am really curious.

OMG Stine, it sounds like that show was the TRUTH!!!!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed your self! I can't wait to see her, Im trying my best to get things situated so I can go to the free show in NYC.

Are you feeling better? Did she talk to the audience? Did she say anything interesting?

WHAAAT? you saw me? You shoud have say "hello"!! LOL I was all alone! lol
After the encore I was so thrilled, I didnt even know where to go to... and I was totally done too.
I WAS SOOO GREAT!

Where did you stand?? I was looking out for you but there were like a trizillion blond girls that looked like you ( I only saw a small pic of you once...)

...and I bet every thrid of them was named STINE - lol

anyways,
The show was amazing!!! I cant put it in words! SOO SO SOO much better than the stuttgart show where she seemed so unhappy.... but this time, it was all different!

WHAT do danish newpapers say about the concert??? anything? EVERYONE around me enjoyed the show like maaad!

peace!

Well, my hair is dark brown so I guess you were looking for the wrong person ^_^ I was standing at the front row a bit to the right - What about you? The reviews in the newspapers are pretty bad, they're all talking about her raspy voice and "weird" outfit, except the one in Jyllands Posten that is really positive. But I don't care, the crowd loved her and that's what matters...

You should see how much I'm smiling right now - I'm so glad you enjoyed the show... I was afraid you would come here and be all like "This is the last time I paid to see her live" because then I would really have to think hard and long about whether or not I am just obsessed with her and love everything that she touches.

It was so great last night maaan, I'm gonna have to travel next time to see her if she doesn't come to DK again. Which songs did you enjoy the most? I loved the "marching" part of To Zion when she just kept singing it over and over with the drums... And Lose Myself acapella when she sang "...he never did deserve me no" and the crowd just cheered so loud! I had tears in my eyes at that point. Sinnerman, Heathen, Natty Dread, Hammer, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow were all amazing.

it was perfect. seriously..

stine it wasn't a gold cross it was like a big black bow at the end of a gold chain.....

i am lost for words

damn, I really thought you got blond hair! ahah, probably just my stupid sterotype of a danish girl... :P
you were front row? wow...
I was so tired that a fell asleep a few hours before the concert... I overslept and arrived at the venue only at 7:15...
I was like 5, or 6th row a bit to the left. At the end of the concerts (for the encores) I was 2nd row...

I dont understand the newspapers... I was actually surprised at how strong her voice was especially in the beginning during "Heathen"... and the acappella songs! However, it might be because I had low expectations regarding her voice.

However, I think the raspyness didnt take away from the performance it was pure energy.

Of course I loved Lose Myself acapella...
and I loved her rapping during Lost Ones and Final Hour...

I loved that part when she was singing "when I say SWWWWWIIIIITCH you guys switch the beat....!" and than the band messed up and she was like "ohhh, I didnt say SWITCH....!!!" nooow, swwwwiiiitch...." lol

I loved that Zion-marching part as well...
I missed that part with the necklace... but, where did she get that danish flag from at the very end of the show?? that was cute...

Did you see how she gave her towel to the guy in the first row (he was standing pretty much in the middle)??! And then she smiled at him intensly.

Before the concert I was also afraid that Id get dissapointed but I think Im a bigger fan now than before... :lol:
but seriously, ALL the people at the concert enjoyed it, right?
so we cannot be that wrong (obsessed)! :P

I'm putting up some videos on youtube right now... however, they can hardly reflect what that night was like...

I REALLY hope someone recorded LOSE MYSELF acapella...

Did you record any videos

lol, don't say that - I already had tears in my eyes watching that first clip you've put up! I can't wait for the rest!

Yes, front row! Me and my sister were the very first peope who came in when the doors opened... If only I'd seen you before the show then you could have gotten a spot next to us - Next time we have to arrange it better! But judging from the video it seems like your spot was good!

Fuck those newspapers... I can't say I'm not bothered by it, but it's just a bunch of old white (No offense, I'm white myself lol - But you know, they probably only listen to "white" music) men writing these reviews... And her way of performing is probably very different from what they usually listen to, so they just don't get it. They don't understand the greatness of it. It just goes straight over their heads, which is a shame really. The way they don't recognise any of the Marley tunes, and the way they only focuse on her raspy voice and her clothes, just tells that they are totally missing what is really going on on the stage.

I had completely forgotten the SWITCH part! I think that was improvised... And do you also remember during Doo Wop when she leaned over the crowd and said "I'm gonna sing this part to the lovely girl here with the big earrings and then I want all the ladies to sing with me... GIRLS YOU KNOW YOU BETTER..." That was so cool.

The Danish flag... Well, there was a guy standing over at your side just infront of the stage on the other side of the fence (I guess he came from backstage or something, but he was obviously a fan) and he kept waving at her with the flag. Then in the end she picked it up and walked to the other side of the stage (Where I was standing) and gave it to a young black girl who was standing right next to my sister! The girls' reaction was just priceless... She was one huge smile.

Yes I did notice that guy in the middle! She also sang to him sometimes! He was definitely a huge fan, he kept blowing kisses at her and stuff...

No I didn't record any videos...

I am also a bigger fan than before. I had GREAT expectations and wasn't dissappointed at all. She is devine! None can compare to her... none.

hej laurynet people,

here are some videos I recorded at VEGA, I hope they can give you a glimpse on what the concert was like...

Wow, it sounds like you had an amazing time. I've watched the videos, and her performance was genius. I swear, Lost Ones && Final Hour were just sung/rapped brilliantly. I'm so excited to see her in NYC. I swear yo!
