Yes, actually 3 of the Nordic Stones Vikings decided to go to Gislaved, after we parted with the rest of NSV in Stockholm. So we got hold of a driver that took us 400 km to Gislaved!! (some wives were NOT amused...).
It was a totally different surrounding compared to Fasching, lot´s of people who had no idea who he is. A quick phonecall to the Wentus Blues Band, and we were on the guestlist! Actually you can´t find a nicer bunch of guys than Wentus, thanks a lot! And their own songs are really, really good!
Anyway, as Mago already explained Gislaved is a completely different place, compared to Fasching were people were told to not cheer to much or move around. In Gislaved he played one set wich was crowned with a Hipshake that was closer to ZZ Top than the Stones. Fantastic!
Also, if I compare Fasching to Gislaved, he seemed a bit off at Fasching. But in Gislaved he moved to the music, smiled, and he let the 2 excellent guitarplayers in Wentus have more solos so the songs were probably a bit longer. No CYHMK, but Blind Willie McTell was outstanding as he included some riffing similar to Brown Sugar!
The first night at Fasching we waited to meet Mick, so when the place was nearly empty, we were allowed to meet him backstage, one at the time.
So we had brought lots of stuff for him to sign, wich he did not mind, but he did not want to take pictures (as I said, he was a bit off). He was also presented with a NSV t-shirt.
I brought all the artwork for the CD:s from his time with the Stones.
So I said: Hi Mick, my name is Vilhelm, would you mind signing these for me?
"No problem" he said.
"Mick, just wanted to let you know, that your sound is fantastic, it´´s like honey dripping from the speakers". (Really stupid, but hey, what would you say?)
"You think so?, To me it sounds like blob....!
Next night in Gislaved, when he saw us, he said "Oh, some old friends of mine, the musicologists!
And he then renamed "Alabama" to "Alabama Honeydripping"!!!
So Fasching was fantastic, Gislaved was ROCKING!
