Paul came up with this lovely song in 1998 as an explanation of the band's four years apart, and this specific concert is A-ha's farewell concert in Oslo Spektrum 12 years later, in 2010. Luckily they reunited in 2015, and are still touring. In 11 days I will see them in Stavanger, Norway. Can't wait.

Hi there AhkkariQ!I had seen them live in that farewell tour back in 2010 Nov.2010 in London Wembley.And damned, unfortunately due to proffesional reasons, I had already missed the chance to catch their fantastic RAHall concerts same year earlier with the symphonic orchestra and the marvelous stage lights,where they played songs from their first 2 albums only!Though Fan- made videos of those performances are all around the net i don't know if these magical gigs were officially filmed.Enjoy the gig in Stavanger(i'm sure you will).

I had abandoned a-ha in the late 80s. Then I heard them perform this 'live' on a BBC TV show - I think it was "Watchdog" - in 2000. Oh, man.

Got back on the train and still on board today (a-ha, not "Watchdog").

You should really listen to the studio production of this song someday. It's amazing and one of my favorite a-ha songs of all time. I personally always find it hard to judge a song simply based on a live version of it, since the band oftentimes changes up the instrumentation and pace. They obviously can't have an entire orchestra on stage. I have seen many Reactions-KZbinrs disliking a great song, just because they picked a shitty live version of it where the singer or the band didn't have their best day. I'm glad you chose this one and enjoyed it. This performance was from 2010 by the way, a-ha's farewell concert. They did however reunite in 2015.

Simply brilliant estonished life performance of Morten. I have a live CD of A-HA, long time not heard in my car. I must find out if this exceptional version is on it. Morten has a unique voice and is a brilliant singer, with or without remastering. I'm a music fan, often better not know much about the biography. Last summer I couldn't sleep and saw a documentary, were shocked about the tension between the members Pal and Magne. that makes me so sad and speachless. Think about the films about Eagles, Queen and Elton John (a hope U2 do not this Netflik shit??? I don't want it know; is it the last act of the total sale???): reality? exaggeration? only commercial? Since then I can't hear a song neutral, specially the lyrics wihout remind me at these shit biography facts. Beg your pardon for this ending. Anyway I love the A-Ha music in my daily life, brings good vibes! I love the not reacted "Manhattan Skyline/voice acrobatic again" or "Touchy/so dancy, so sexy, feel 10 years younger" or "Dark is the night/so catchy-guitar!" or the cover "Crying in the rain" (all poppy, not more but also not less) or a ibit more demanding "Lifelines/so melancholic, Scandinavian super pics" or "Train of thought/unexpected" or "This is my home/MTV unplugged," MTV unpugged shows - specially also by the reacted songs like "Stay these roads" or "Hunting high and low" - how good and uniqe the band was and is

I cant wait for the New album. You should react to the single of the New album "I'm In". And the album is named "True North" sort of a "love letter" to the beauty of Norwegian nature. Its coming in october. I think its being Released in the US also. They have moved from Universal to Sony now, so they are signed to RCA. And they have been touring USA This year so its def coming in the US also. I am curious for any American out There if you can listen to the post 2000 albums on Spotify or other now?
