a-ha - the final concert



Last night we enjoyed the last concert with a-ha. This was their final farewell as a band.  

 I did not bring a camera – but took some video and photos with my cell.





I remember back in October 1984 when I first saw them on Norwegian TV. It was at a prime time Saturday show. Norway only had one TV channel back then so most of the Norwegian population watched their debut.

I then saw them live in Nashville in 1986 (18. Sept. – I Goggled it) at their Hunting High and Low World Tour. 




Trivia about a-ha:

1986: Won 8 out of 11 MTV Awards during the MTV award show.

1991: Set a Guinness Book World Record by playing for the largest paying audience in the world: 198,000 people in Rio de Janeiro.

2010: Sold over 36 million albums worldwide since the start, plus more than 25 million singles.

2010: Dec 4th – the final farewell.


THANK YOU a-ha
