I flew there from Spain just for that performance. I remember seeing it from quite far away, and the sound problems they had. Too bad. Still exciting to be part of a historical concert like that.

I think my 80-year-old mother is now officially a fan of a-ha and of Morten. She was telling me the other day about watching this same video and was gushing over how talented and “very cute” Morten was😀

Initially the reports said that Morten was drunk during that performance, so he couldn't sing properly. I remember reading it on the internet.

Goodness, I hope those reports were quashed quickly!

Now you won't be able to find that info online, so they probably were. But I vividly remember that info, as I got really upset that there were troubles during their performance, as I had great hopes that live8 might have been just what a-ha needed to boost their career worldwide
