a-ha were back in Norway yesterday, to play in front of 10.000 people at the main square in Hamar – the first of four outdoor shows in their home country this week.
The setlist included the same 18 songs that have been played at almost every show on the summer tour, but the song order in the first half of the set had been shuffled around compared to last month.
The band was in fine form and there was a great energy coming from the crowd. Here’s a video clip of Minor Earth Major Sky live in Hamar.
Morten struggled with some sound issues and at one point told the FOH engineer that he couldn’t hear himself due to “strange frequencies” at the front. Magne jokingly suggested the whole audience could all move one metre to the side to correct the issue.
The tour continues in Trondheim tonight, with two festivals in Ålesund and Bodø to follow this weekend.
