Stockholm - January 31st

Stockholm, Sweden was one of the lovelier stops on the tour. A few of the band's family and close friends flew out to join us on the road so it turned into a wonderful reunion. Despite the weather - which is taking some getting used to - a long line of eager fans started to form outside of the venue doors at 5pm. As the guys drove by on our way into the venue, they waved to the crowd and anticipated another amazing Scandinavian gig!
Stockholm's Globe Arena was by far one of the coolest architectural gigs we've seen on tour; it's the largest hemispherical building in the world. It's essentially the Epcot Center of rock and roll. For the Swedes, it's a solar representation of the sun. The guys loved the forward-thinking concept.
Fun fact: Depeche Mode played the venue less than 2 days before it became officially known as the Ericcson Globe arena so in many ways, it our boys were a last 'hurrah' for the venue's former self.
Photos for the blog were contributed by two dear friends of the tour - Steve Burton, Dave Bourner and Dusty. Check them out for some behind-the-scenes action.
See you in Helsinki!
