Me too, except for the last song.

I can assure you that it works live, especially with the stage show and everything that comes before and after. But actually, what made both concerts fantastic for me was not the setlist (even tho I got to hear two songs that I absolutely love and would have wanted to hear above all), but Jocke's stories about the band members and the past. They were so funny and touching at the same time. On saturday he was close to tears when he was speaking. I haven't heard him talk so much before. I hope someone records his speeches at the shows I can't go to, because I really want to hear everything he has to say. And the scene show is just to die for.

Here is what I was sent by a friend.
First pic from the merch booth.
Two next pics is playing cards deck

And final pic from a random member of the Facebook group.

By the way if you guys are in Facebook you might want to join Kent Så Nära För Ingen Gå And the Kent - Avskedsturne Setlists groups

I joined Så nära får ingen gå, and now I feel stupid, because I really don't feel like I should have done that. The other group I don't see the point in joining, what are you even talking about there? Just curious, because for me, the setlist is not really important, it's the show itself and the emotions that count, not how much I like the song when it is not played live.

You 're welcome
Maybe we should do an English group too for faster communication during the tour and the possible meetup needs

Here are some pics from the card deck I got earlier.
Waiting for a pic of the pin set.

Thanks, now I don't have to take photos of it. Just got home from Sweden and way too tired to stage the cards and get my cat to leave it alone until I take photos.

Just made the group, it is called kent fans.

I can't see the group at all. First I thought because I was on mobile, but I logged in on my laptop and it still doesn't show up. Maybe because I'm not friends with you? Anyways, can you guys post it on the forums what you have planned for december when your plans are final? I'm fine for all the other dates, but a december meetup would be nice, especially that I will have company that would like to meet other kentfans than me. Thanks!

Aaand this is the part that'll go right over my head Hopefully someone will record any anecdotes and also translate them!! Although I'll be happy whatever they play, there are some particular songs that I'd love to hear live, just once. This tour being my last chance and all...

It took me a while to find it too! Search "kent fans" with the quotation marks included - that's what worked for me.

Did you take the Linkoping-Amsterdam flight on Sunday, because then we were on the same flight

I didn’t even try without the quotation marks and it still got me a bunch of unrelated stuff but not the group. But the link worked, so I’m in now.

Well, something I haven’t seen discussed here and that will surely not be over your head, but I thought was super cool…

was that they came down after the last song, a few of us in the first row got roses from them (I got one from Martin on both days) and Jocke was up for ‘high fives’. How awesome is that? I still can't believe I didn't just dream it.

My friend who is traveling with me to all the shows does not speak Swedish either, so she had to wait until the end of the concerts for me to try to recollect everything and translate (I didn’t want to miss anything so I didn’t start translating right away), so I would really love to see videos of the previous gigs as well, to check if I missed something. I understood most of what was said, but I wouldn’t volunteer for a translation, my Swedish is not that good that I could just transcript and translate without some native speaker fine-combing it, and I don’t want to burden anyone with reading my crap.

Yes, found it! And dropped you a PM about it as well.

No, I took a direct flight home on Monday. The Sunday flight would have been not only way more expensive than spending an extra day, but also nearly impossible to catch without getting up before sunrise. I’m usually pretty nondescript outside concerts I think, so if you saw someone with clear kent-vibes, it wasn’t me.

Tonite's (September 30th, 2016) show at the Scandinavium Gothenburg was the longest Kent show I ever attended. A total of 25 songs were played during two and a half hours, many in new versions. Though not listed on the Swedish forum, the first song is actually "Då Som Nu För Alltid." The band comes on as the intro fades into "Gigi." Although "Gigi" isn't played in full, it's meshed with "Då Som Nu För Alltid.". Great result.

After "Lila Ego," Jocke holds the longest monologue I've ever experienced live. Is any Swedish member able to translate that part?

Later in the show, Jocke thanks, praises and relates anecdotes of every single band member, including the vocalists and the backing band. It would great to receive a few translations here as well, especially pertaining to "four roses."

For the final encore, "Den Sista Sången," the entire band return dressed completely in white, symbolizing their ascencion to heaven.

Another great show in Gothenburg on October 1st. Jocke shortend his monologue and there were less glassy eyes on stage tonight.

What was he saying here?

Thanks for sharing these, I was really hoping that someone would record what Jocke says, he told so many interesting things in Linköping as well. (Okay, this one was not that interesting. But he's so adorable. <3)

I just received a mail saying that the kent concert tonight has been moved to the 4th of december... anybody else who can verify that?

[JukkeBerry]

Cancelled & rescheduled. Hope Jocke's vocal chords get well soon. Rescheduling the Stockholm shows would've be a greater disaster... IMG_0380.jpg

What a week. Sadly, it looks like my Kent live experience ended in an abrupt way last Saturday in Copenhagen.

As usual with a kent show, we flew out the night before from the UK. I'd avoided the set-list for the entire tour so it would all be a big surprise, and I was looking forward to sending the band out on a high. We literally found out about the cancellation as we arrived at the venue in time for the doors opening. As you can imagine, when we got there, we found a very quiet surrounding area, lots of people sat around calling for cabs and parents to pick them up (or heading to the bars.)

I should point out that I understand that what Jocke said was true and I wish him a speedy recovery. But naturally I was heartbroken as I knew instantly that it would be difficult to get to the date on the 4th, for a few reasons that I won't go into here.

I could have probably dealt with not seeing them one last time if we knew we couldn't come at all. But to fly hundreds of miles to a show, find it cancelled - and then not be able to return is tough news to take if you love a band (especially since every other date remains unaffected by cancellations and re-scheduling.) Now I wish so badly that I'd gone to another date as well to make sure that I saw them.

But with all of that said, I must be grateful for the 2 times I have seen Kent live. There are many, many fans around the world who haven't had the time or the money to see them at all. I have years of incredible memories of live shows that I'm sure I'll come back to eventually. And maybe I'll even come to joke about "the Copenhagen incident" and how badly I took the news. (Honestly, it was not good!)

I'll keep the tickets to tell the tale in the future anyway, from the final gig that might have been....

Ow ow... that is very unfortunate and sad to hear. When I read the news about the cancelled gig, I was immediately thinking about the foreigners flying in for a concert (as I've done on this tour as well). I would not take it to good either, so I can understand how you're feeling. And you have no way anymore to go and see another concert? No more time or no more tickets or a combination?
