Okay, so here is my review, at least first impressions on an airport on our way back to Helsinki.

This was an awsome and strange concert.
Shania was fantastic, really was into it, and the crowd too,
but the security guys were pretty nasty.

First of all, the arena look like more than a big industry hall, and unfortunatelly (at least for me) it was aloud to get beer and wine, and I was sitting beside three pretty drunk guys during the concert.
In the beginning Shania told us that Marc Mueller was sick, so they platyed only eight, and that this is was the first time ever someone missed out the concert.

Get well Marc!!!!

But the crowd really waited for Shania, and after boring through the "Bjorn Again" everyone waited for the big moment: Are you ready Oslo?!

Unfortunatelly the security guys always make us seat, so we could be UP! and dancing only when Shania said it, and in the third part, after TWIM.
But even with that, Shania was in a great mood and danced a lot - involving some intersting moves , later...

She came out in a lime green top under it with a turkiz one(?) and the crow started to get into it till they were made sit....
Than, in the third song the crowd started to floading toward the stage. Unfortunatelly, in my side the security won't let too much people get into the stage, after one of them hold too much Shania's hand and she had to pull it out really hard and commented it likee wohooo.

For FAFA Shania came out in a pink shirt, and it was a great rendition too. Than TWIM from the audience really was fantastic, and from there on the crowd went crazy, followed by TDIMM, IGGG and IOH.

After the big cheering, Shnaia came back in the Norwegian hockey T-shirt and asked : if she's wearing the right one?

Than in the encore came the big surprise!!!!!! (continue later)

Okey, for a moment back to Outta Here song, Shania got a girl sing with her, actually went down to the crowd, and later with other girl get down her knees and shaked it, and the and was a guy shouted I'm Outta here!!!!

Than in the encore was really big Yeahs for Any Man Of MIne, and than...
Shania missed the intro to Rock This Country, because she was perhaps preoccupied with something. So much, that Allison told her that.
Than she said: Sorry, I missed my intro, now we start again. NO I changed my mind.
Then shge talked about the band going out, and she never got to because of the traveling, and she saw some guys dancing there, so she asked the best dancer got up on stage. He unfortunatelly didn't know her song, but anyway, Shania asked a beet from the band, and they started to swing, just like that, in the middle of the encore. They were pretty good together!!!!

Than Shania said :It was pPretty wild from her to do that, out of the show.
Than she asked there who know YSTO, so she sang the song, and the girl sand nmosdt of the choruses.

Than Rock This Country started, and Shania laughed all the song, and danced, till she lost the air and had to stand a bit, and not dancing around!!!!!
And then it was over, and that was my last concert for this tour
but I'm extreamly happy I couldmake it, three so different concerts with all the nteresting happenings! And at least saw her three times!!!
She worth all!!!!!

Thank You Shania!!!!!!!

I did not got good pictures, but I will post all which came out clear.

AAA, Randall played the guitar for TWIM instead of Marc, and on other songs mainly Cory did his job, so poor guys was running from instruments to intruments. And Andy did the drums during IOH instead of Cory.
And than with the intro Shania just drived them crazy I think....

Thanks for the review Jud ! It sounds rather different to the other concerts. I especially didn't like the security guys bit ! Bet that took the fun out, eh ..........

Was Cory still with Roddy and Allison most of the time ? Who walked down (onto the stage) with BB then ?

Oh cool ! So the girls got to sing NAH! with Shania Was it their favourite song too ?

Security was different at the 3 concerts I went to here in the NY area. At Long Island the one concert I was the closest to the stage [2nd row], we couldn't get near the stage to get an autograph because security was holding people back. Shania even shot them an angry look from time to time, since it looked like it was only our side that was being kept away. At NYC and in NJ it was a lot looser.

I did manage to get a high five from her when she walked past when heading back to the stage after TWIM.

That bag balm must work, Shania has very soft skin, her hands were ice cold too.

I don't know who came down with BB, but Andy came alone to the stage.

Yep, their fave song is Nah too



Don't know if I have much to add to the review.... at first the security almost ruined it for us, but after TWIM the rest of the songs are uptempo so we got to stay UP!
It was really a jaw dropping experience witnessing the rock'n'roll dance Shania and that guy did
I can still picture it clearly in my mind, even though most of the show was a bit blurry to me, trying to look everywhere to record the last moments of the last concert
But it really made me concentrate when the extra stuff happened. Shania did not have anybody but the raffle winners on stage in Stockholm & Helsinki, so plenty of extra happenings in Oslo

Also great to get winks & pointings from the band members who by now recognized us

Going to 3 concerts most certainly was worth it, each concert added something different and special

Yep, that was a feeling I had! Giving some extra interaction with the fans cause of the idiotic security.


hmm....
2 little girls as the raffle winners
not on the stage but Shania kneeling down on stage to sing with fans
Thea & Annette singing Nah with her
one guy dancing with her
one girl singing YSTO with her in turns
