2018/09/22: Skambankt, Odense

As always, the smartest thing after a great concert is to not expect anything from the next concert. That way, you won’t be disappointed if Odense fulfills your image of a small, rural town, with a half empty venue and a band who used all their energy on yesterday’s concert and afterparty.

And in addition, if you don’t expect much, you will most likely be proven wrong. And Odense lived up 100% to the expectation of getting way more than you expect! =:-)

And since I now managed to confuse even myself: That concert was awesome! =:-D Somehow, it felt like “the old times”, with a tiny and intimate stage, people jumping around in front of the stage right from the start, everybody really into the show, and Skambankt just playing rough and wild and “careless”, in a way. A perfect club show! =:-D With a >95% male audience, it felt … not sure how I should interpret that though. =;-)

Terje’s voice was pretty much gone from the start (he blamed it on a cold – and sure, it was really chilly and windy outside after yesterday’s concert … *g*), but he made it through the show, and they even added Levende legende on the fly (it wasn’t on the setlist).

When a guy complained to him about speaking weirdly, Terje admitted that he had to decide between talking normally and nobody would understand what he said, or he could speak in a way that sounds idiotic to all Norwegians but is actually understandable to Danish people as well – and he went for sounding like an idiot. =;-)

After O dessverre, which of course took off completely, Terje promised we would have to make it through only one more Celine Dion song before they would get back to the fast songs. But not the one that a guy in the front had explicitly requested, since it was the song he proposed to, not “My heart will go on” – but of course we got “Balladen om deg” instead. Almost the same. *lol*

And as promised, then they were back to hard and fast and loud, with Me sa nei. But first, Terje had to request a schnapps from the bar to make it through the song, since his voice was pretty much gone by then … In the break, we all had to be really quiet and shut up, because “we’re doing art here!!!1”. =:-D

Stormkast #1 was a great conclusion again before they went off. And just like yesterday, we got Slukk meg and Mantra as encores. OK, the Mantra version was missing the first verse, but who needs lyrics anyway (and honestly, I don’t know ANY of the lyrics, but starting with the second verse is apparently not the best idea if the melody is different from the first *g*). But that only proved that this was a “dirty” club show and that these are more fun than big and “clean” shows can ever be. Yay! =:-D

The full setlist (exactly the same as in Aarhus, actually):

1. Anonyme hatere
2. Skambankt
3. Dynasti
4. Voodoo
5. Levende legende
6. Horisonten brenner
7. Vår bør
8. O dessverre
9. Balladen om deg
10. Desertør
11. Me sa nei
12. Stormkast #1
    ————–
