The acoustic gig in Leipzig turned out to be a very nice event. A lot of fans showed up, and one diehard fan even said afterwards that it was the best concert she had ever seen. "Not only the best Pain of Salvation concert, but the best concert all categories!" We personally liked the songs so much that we are considering recording them for an album. Thank you everyone for attending and making this a special night!

Of course I entered the stage on a bicycle - the acoustic equivalent of the Judas Priest Harley Davidson.

    I'm not a diehard fan, and the best concert I've ever seen was Mike Patton's Mondo Cane in Milan two years ago. But the Leipzig show comes very close to it. :)
    To be honest, I've never listened to PoS until I discovered what a great, great record RS1 is. And since then I can't stop listening to both RS records, I guess they changed my world.
    I drove 400 km to Leipzig, and it was absolutely worth it. Thank you so much, I enjoyed every minute of this evening. It was wonderfull, not perfect, but very charming. ;)

    To have a record (vinyl) with this songs would be really great!!! :)

    I would like to confirm my words - yes, IT WAS the best show I have ever seen! I travelled over 600 km to see it and Pain of Salvation is absolutely worth it. (The longest distance I have travelled to see The Best Band in The World was over 2000 but well... I would even go on foot if I had to!)
    Making an album is not only a good idea. It's a need for all the people like me :-)
    Thank you once again for the great evening!

    Nice outfit. You look better wearing some adult clothes. Ok, I like the Beatles tshirt, the Japan tshit, that orange one that you used to wear with a (hopefully fake) leather jacket and that shirts you wore on the Melodifestivalen, but you look very nice in those blue somethings. That black suit you used in "Be" was awesome too. But, seriously? You'd look SO FUCKING GORGEOUS in a black tie outfit.. Seriously. I would eat you up with caramel sauce.
