Many thanks for sharing this Olov! I had the great privilege of seeing Väsen perform at my cousin Ruth and Rob’s house concert (the first time) - it is still the most amazing musical performance that I have ever witnessed (and I’ve been performing music for over 50 years) 🤯. Wishing you long life and many more shows!

The one time I was fortunate enough to see Vasen in concert, there was a couple who had decked themselves out in folkloric attire and had come specifically to dance... in front of the stage, blocking the view of the band for many of us in the audience! The band was incredibly gracious about it, but I wished a big hook had appeared and dragged the dancers away. Even still, one of the best concerts I ever attended.

@@c.a.t.732 Usually if there are dancers at these concerts it's traditional dances that the music is written specifically for. A polska is to be danced to, it's named after the dance. If you can't appreciate the cultural expression then that's on you.

@@omgnuub I can appreciate cultural expression just fine... I was a world-music musician for much of my life, and don't need you to lecture me about traditional dances. I can also appreciate common courtesy, as when in a relatively small concert venue where a small three-piece band is playing, it might be considerate for dancers to not block the view of the audience by dancing right in front of them, especially when there is plenty of room to either side of the stage to express their need for attention.

these dancers play an improvisated tune at six voices adding to the music. when being fortunate enough to approach some magic dancers like Petra Eriksson amongst others, nobody should complain about blocking the view, but listen with the eyes instead
