Pink concert in Copenhagen

I went to the Pink concert in Copenhagen two weekends ago. I traditionally only like to go to concerts where I really like the artist, or where i know a lot of the music so I can sing (poorly) along. Pink's latest album (Funhouse) has so many hit singles off of it...I love every one of the them, and knew that I needed to see her live - most especially because I wanted to see a famous American artist live while living in Denmark.

The concert was great - Pink is a great performer live. Although her show has wardrobe changes and crazy stuff happening, she still clearly can sing live, and her voice isn't too manipulated on the cd's. Additionally, in between songs, she speaks to her audience, and you get the feeling that she is truly trying to connect.

I was interested to see the venue as well - this is MUCH smaller than a venue in the US. There are only chairs in one balcony section, otherwise you stand everywhere. Once you enter the building, there is no walkway surrounding the court, etc, where you would buy your beer or snacks. They don't really sell snacks - just drinks. And you just drop these cups on the ground when you are done.

The bathrooms are regular bathrooms as well as port-a-potty's, and are located basically right at the back, where you can still stand and see the stage. They have a coat check where everyone checks their coat. They sell tshirts like normal, which were the equivalent of $30 - $60!!! Yikes!! They were selling a hoodie for $100!!!

It was definitely an interesting experience, but not too bad. We were able to get really close to the stage and have a great time!


The girls who went - my friend Lonnie is 2nd from the right, the rest of the girls are her friends who I don't know very well.

This was a sign in the building - it states 'You go out, you go home!' They aren't messing around!
