Björn Afzelius - Tusen Bitar - Live Midtfynsfestival 1989

[@azynkron]

It's impossible to dislike this humble guy. One of the true gems.

[@veebee58]

My late ex-husband and I actually "smuggled" a bottle of champaign and 2 glasses into the Midtfyns Festival, because we both loved Afzelius' music and this was "our" song!!! Everyone smiled at us, when we sat down and opened that bottle of champaign! Wonderful day, I'll never forget!!!

[@BjørgStrandHagen]

Du var en stolt og kjær trubadur, med dine fine låter, som du spede landet over, der du var. Du blir savna med melodien dine. ❤❤❤❤

[@JensMikkelsen-dl7ig]

Bjorn Afzelius. You are / where the best EVER. You will be missed, you where one in a life time person. 😢

[@perlu2122]

Vilken fin artist/Björn du är så saknad ! Dina texter och melodier helt fantastiska!

[@henriknielsen1662]

@perlu2122: ja, men i dette tilfælde er tekst og meoldi af Anne Linnet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/joetpomHaZiUkJosi=dPwjSlBjS6QbDika

[@mortenottosen4938]

LOL it's so funny that people don't know of the songs being covers! anne linnet is the Original song and music. and its 100% better then his cover of that song.

[@jullejuhl8167]

Den absolut bedste udgave af en god sang. Tak Affe! ❣️

[@BjørgStrandHagen]

Låten er en kjær melodi fer hele bandet hans kan ha et hjertelig takk for tiden sangeren levde. Takk for de. ❤❤❤❤

[@fregot]

It was an incredible experience to play this song as an encore, and for the first time live, in front of a Danish audience of 65.000 people. We recorded the song a few weeks later, and I think it made Björn one of the most played artists in Scandinavia, and won him a Danish grammy for best singer. Frederik Adlers

Great story, thanks 😉 Swedes are not completely hopeless 😂

[@Situnadei]

32 år sedan år 1989 - Björn for ever !

[@christersvedell9559]

Saknar dig.. min kompis. Träffade dig först i Tingsryd. Sedan blev vi vänner. Vi skrev låtar ihop i Köpenhamn. Saknar dig

[@bohoghjensen3168]

Vi skriver 2023, jeg er 61 år gammel, men jeg var der!! mellem de ca 30 tusinde mennesker foran scenen stod jeg og jublede da Bjørn sagde "Ja, jeg elsker hende også" det er sgu da vildt!

[@wenchelillegjerdet4480]

Oj... Må ha hvert litt av en opplevelse. Lucky you. Enkelte ting setter seg dypt i hjertet. ❤ Stor artist som aldri blir glemt. ❤

[@henrikcramer3847]

Mener han sagde " ja, jeg elsker hende sgu også. Men rigtig fed koncert.

[@YS28863]

Tak til danske ANNE LINNET for at have skrevet denne sang - der om muligt er smukkere på i den svenske version . PÅ DANSK : TUSINDE STYKKER

[@HugoTobias-ex5cs]

Vet att ni danskar älskade björn Afzelius 🙏🇸🇪🇩🇰 danska bröder o systrar 🔥❤️

[@gnawershreth]

Han var fantastisk! Jeg håber, at vores svenske naboer husker ham og er stolte af ham. :) Slutningen får hårene til at rejse sig! Det lyder så godt! :D

[@znarkz]

Skojar du, Afzelius har ett enormt eftermäle i Sverige

[@jokelip]

Det finns bara låtar, sånger, som lever i årtionden i alla nordiska länder, fastän hjärtan går i tusen bitar........ Jokke/Finland

[@gnawershreth]

To the guys asking about the subtitles. It's from Danish TV coverage of a Danish festival that unfortunately doesn't exist anymore. You also need to remember that it's originally a Danish song, so a lot of people will always remember that as the "real one" here even though we also know Björn's version. You can also hear him switch to the Danish lyrics at the end. From his Wiki page: ""Tusen bitar" (Thousand pieces - which was originally recorded by Danish Anne Linnet as "Tusind Stykker")" It's not uncommon to hear the Swedish version on the radio here in Denmark. It's probably played just as much as Anne Linnet's original, but since Anne's was out first, there's obviously going to be a "This is the real one" feeling about it. He took a song that was already well known in Denmark and managed to make a cover that became just as loved as the original, which is a rare achievement. Most covers never come close.. Especially if they're in a different language. :)

[@Bjowolf2]

And the two languages are very similar as well - mutually intelligible to a high degree with a bit of focus and clear speech - 85 % of the words are the "same" - and the grammars are also very similar mostly - , the Swedes just pronounce the words in weird ways and are rather poor at spelling them. 😂

[@meltingsnowman266]

​@@Bjowolf2​The SWEDES pronounce the words in a weird way? That was a good one! En halvfjerds takk på dig, broder! ♡ 🤣

Mange tak for sangen!

[@micke1971]

En väldigt bra låt och en bra text.. En tänkvärd text

[@veebee58]

Thanks - it IS a wonderful song! And it means a lot to me. :-)

[@barbroholm6689]

Fin låt!👍

[@steenlu]

også tak til Billie Cross for hans fantastiske fortolkning

Jeg var der... og konserten var fæd... en af mine beste minder fra 89

[@ulfbeckman9909]

Jag också Midtfyns festivalen var bäst, 9 år i rad! Jag till och med syns, jämte han med en stor marijuanaflagga. Jag o Jonny, min polare

[@ulfbeckman9909]

Gräset var grönare där...

[@veebee58]

Unfortunately this video is recorded in a very bad quality - if anyone has a better recording from the festival - PLEASE put it here on KZbin!!! Thanks in advance, as we (the polite ones) say in Danish!

[@bfdmudk]

I understand completely, but for 1989 vintage home taped video from TV it is actually pretty damn good! My guess is it is VHS SP - so it is a miracle it was stil playable in 2008. Sure, you can do a lot of post-processing if you have the equipment. Most of us don't! Even fewer did in 2008. All we can hope for is that it is broadcast again - the original tapes should be safe in the station's vaults. Meanwhile a warm thank you to the uploader for sharing this precious memory.

Danska originalversionen med Anne Linnet - hoppas ni svenskar också förstår den 🤗 m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3zIgYKnqbd0aJI Björns version är också mycket fin och blev ofta spelat i dansk radio på den tiden.

selvfølgelig er det dansk! men er også god på svensk og norsk! det er så ens på de nordiske sprog. kan godt lide sangen på danske originaler, men svensk og norsk er også god. elsker Anne lin hilsner fra Skåne

smuk svensk version.

[@Bjowolf2]

Jeg ved, at der også findes en god tysk version, og der er for nyligt kommet en successfuld italiensk version ( som nærmest bare låner omkvædet 🙄 - en ren forbrydelse, hvis du spørger mig 🙄 ), men hvorfor fanden er der egentlig aldrig lavet en cover-version på engelsk af denne smukke sang / melodi? Den kunne jo blive et superhit i USA, hvis fx. en eller anden amerikansk ( country? ) sanger fik fat i den, og indspillede den i en lettere moderniseret version.

[@veebee58]

But a little stupid with the danish text underneath - if you don't understand swedish, why listen to it?

[@jacek-]

hard to explain, sometimes you feel like you belong to a song where you only can understand a line or two. Biorhythms...

[@azynkron]

Because 1. It's in Denmark and 2. It's a Danish song from the beginning.. Now sit down and shut the fuck up.
