Saybia in Concert
This Wednesday evening I went to Debaser Slussen and saw Saybia in Concert.
I was supposed to see them last year but they canceled so I was really looking forward to this.
The first time I saw Saybia (and the only time before Wednesday) was back in 2003 I think.
They played at Hultsfred in a small arena that took only 1000 n the crowd and had a low ceiling that provided us with a great atmosphere. That is to date still one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen and I had never heard them at all before it.
So back to Wednesday.
As you understand I had some great expectations when we arrived and when I left I was indeed very happy.
I’m not really sure how I can summarize the show so I don’t think I will.
However I will mention the fact that I love their mix of old goodies with new material. I didn’t recognize all songs they played since I mainly listen to songs recorded pre 2003 so I really woke up and came to life when they played those songs. And they did play quite a few of them.
When they came back for their encore and played I Surrender I knew that this concert had made it into my top ten list of all times. It was pure magic.
The only downside was that it was almost a bit too dark so you couldn’t really see the bands faces which is something I like to do because that really gives you that feeling that the people on the stage are actually no different from you and me, they just have a skill that we don’t.
