Yes, the gig in Helsinki in 2008 wasnīt the most triumphant one Iīve witnessed. Obviously Jon had a bit of a cold. Singing seemed to be quite painful for him that night, he even shook his head in between the songs. Later it was said there had been some issues between the promoter and the BJ management. There were even rumours that at some point the whole concert was about to be cancelled. Jon didnīt look too happy for the most part of that evening.

On the NJ tour, on the other hand, the band was on fire while performing in Finland. The tour had barely begun at that point and the eagerness on stage was evident. The concert in 1996 was also special in here for it was the last one of the TD tour in Europe. The encores went on and on and the band seemed to enjoy the athmosphere even though the stadium was far from sold out. On the Crush tour the gigs we saw were the first in Europe of that tour(if I remember it correctly...Seb may prove Iīm wrong...) so we got very tight 2 shows in here, especially the first one.
