Hej and SORRY that I haven´t written in here so long again.
A lot of things happened, I have been in Kuopio the last weekend to visit Juha Tapio´s and Johanna Kurkela´s concert on friday there, on saturday I went to see Marco Hietala´s second band Tarot, which also played in Kuopio. So it was a weekend full of concerts, action, emotions, travelling, etc.
Here some photos of Tarot´s concert:
So let´s start with Tarot´s concert, since this was my favourite concert of the weekend.
It has been really really nice there, there have been mostly young people, since it was a concert, which can also be visited by people under 18 years. (It was a non-alcohol event). The concert started already at probably 19:30. Tarot had one support band, which was a band of some young boys who were maybe between 15 and 18 years old.
I didn´t like their music style or their taste of rock music, but anyway, they rocked on stage! So respect! For their age it was really really great and I´m sure we´ll hear from them in some years again, when they are maybe playing on a big festival in Finland, like the Tuska Festival, for example. ;-)
I don´t know the name of their band unfortunately, but if you are interested, you can check it up at Tarot´s webpage for sure!
No niin ... after probably one hour, where the young guys played on stage, Tarot started finally to play! It was so nice to see the guys again since it has been such a long time since my last Tarot concert, which was in 2007!
They played songs of their last albums and some songs of their new album, which you can and should check up on their webpage, too! ;-)
Really good music! One of the best songs they played was an acoustic version of "I Walk Forever", which was so beautiful, especially with Marco´s "soft" voice and all the people singing along!
If you wanna see and hear it, here´s a little video of "I Walk Forever":
On Friday I have been at Juha Tapio´s and Johanna Kurkela´s concert, which was nice too. But it´s not really my favourite kind of music, but I have to say anyway that Juha Tapio is a really great singer! I have never heard him before and I was never interested in him, but NOW I´m definitely a fan of him!
He´s such a nice and friendly man and a great singer, although I´m not the biggest fan of his music style, but his voice is amazing!
And a nice thing was also that you could really see how he loves music and that he totally is behind his music and lyrics.
Let´s say like this: He lives the music!
He played that concert together with Johanna Kurkela, so it was that he started the show with one song of him, then Johanna sang a song of her, then Juha came back and sang a song, ja niin edelleen.
Johanna has a really nice singing-voice, also live and there have been a lot of very emotional moments during their concert, since some of their songs are very sad and maybe also a bit melancholic. Anyway, I don´t listen to Johanna´s music that much, since I am not very much interested in her as a person or a singer, but some songs are really nice and maybe I will visit a concert of her one day again.
But Juha Tapio is it definitely worth it to attend a concert of him and I will do that as soon as I have the possibility for that. ;-)
It was a really nice but stressful weekend, with the train travel, going from one concert to the other, finding the concert venues, and so on. Especially because I have never been in Kuopio before, it was even harder to find everything.
I was happy when I arrived back home and I was so happy that I have taken the first train on sunday back to my town, since I had the whole sunday almost to relax. :-)
