A-ha in concert at the Birmingham LG Arena
Magne Furuholmen, the keyboard player of the band says that “Twenty-five years ago we came to Britain with nothing more than a bunch of songs,”Has it really been 25 years? we are still shocked to see all of them so perfect, they all still looks young and live, they are always energetic at their live performances.inger Morten Harket can still hit the sort of high notes that must terrify dog owners and makers of fine glassware throughout the world.
Through their vast back catalogue tonight’s gig was one last trip,a celebration, they said, before A-ha call it a day in Olso on December 4.
Live, A-ha are extremely professional, great musicians, but possibly a bit too polished and businesslike. They may have made some excellent records, but they’re just not very exciting - although in their defence it must be hard to connect with an audience inside a vast auditorium such as the LG Arena.
It was only near the end of the show that a crunching I’ve Been Losing You, Analogue and The Living Daylights really seemed to get them going. The band appeared to be enjoying themselves as they got the crowd singing along.
No prizes for guessing what they ended with, but it sent thousands of people home happy.
Farewell then, and thanks for some great records.
