While standing in the DC in Helsinki, waiting for the gig to begin, I heard a member of the road crew talk about Jonīs spirit towards the end of the tour.
(Unfortunately, I donīt remember his name altough he said it. But heīs the same guy who organised the early FC admission in both Norway and Finland, giving everybody in the DC a high five and saying how much his hand will hurt afterwards).
He said Jonīs been enthusiastic and in a very good mood now that theyīve started the Open Air leg, despite of the preceding 1.5 years on the road. He said Jon had planned to play longer sets from now on, aprrox. 3 hours per night. Everything looked really well, Richie was back in line and the final leg of the tour looked very promising indeed. So it really is unfair and a pity that the injury occurred at this occasion.
