Thanks for a very thorough and well-written review. It's reminded me why Sparks are such a top band!

Agree. Fantastic Review brilliantly written by someone who is clearly knowledgeable and clearly very fond of Sparks!

Absolutely marvellous review, so spot-on. Great writing and presentation with the superb photos. Am loving every line. Quality.

That must be one of the very best review of Sparks (and not only of the recent tour) I have ever read and I have read many great reviews of them anyway.
So well written and spot-on and how I feel about Sparks.
Great!

Ah thanks! Much appreciated...the Blog's just my little hobby so it means a lot to get such nice comments back, makes it worthwhile..! Steve

Oh, Sparksswede...slightly off topic...if you hunt around my Blog you will find loads of Swedish music on there. I have done lots with The Soundtrack of Our Lives (big Sparks fans by the way...) and there's my Swedish music special Podcast here...hope you like it! Cheers Steve

Speaking of Soundtrack of Our Lives - they will perform all their live albums, one album a night starting 17th December 2012. Just like a certain other band.

Guess where they do it? Södra Teatern, of course.

For those of you able to read Swedish, here's the press release:

hehe...yes Parus, as I said they are big Sparks fans...I wonder where they got the idea from?! I was a bit disappointed when Soundtrack played at Södra Teatern back in August, as they played outside on the terrassen and I was hoping it was going to be in the main venue on the same stage as the Sparks "L'il Beethoven in Stockholm" show. However, I hope I get my wish soon, as I don't think they will be outside in December..!

What a wonderful review, thank you. I've just learned that they will be in San Francisco in April, and I am just thrilled to see them! It's been over 30 years, so I'd say I'm a little past due.
