Jon Landau was asked by Sweden’s largest daily newspaper Expressen to comment on the shows in Gothenburg. Here is the text of his response:

The two shows in Gothenburg were among the very highest moments in Bruce and the Band’s history of performing. As in all of Scandinavia, the crowds were among the greatest I have ever seen–for any artist. The audience comes with a great knowledge of Bruce’s work, a depth of feeling for all of it, and a special empathy for his artistry. As a result, Bruce and the Band are free to be as spontaneous and loose and emotional as they can possibly be. The results are nights of pure magic. For example, on Friday, Bruce did his greatest performance ever of “Drive All Night.” On Saturday, he did his greatest performance of “Frankie” as well as that beautifully deep and special and heartfelt version of “Jungleland,” featuring Jake Clemons playing the song’s classic Clarence Clemons solo. Moments this beautiful can only happen when the artist and audience are as one.

On behalf of Bruce, and all the members of the E Street Band, we thank the people of Gothenburg, all of Sweden, and all of Scandinavia for their incredible support for our efforts over so many years. We play for so many audiences around the world, but none are better than we find here. We look forward to our future visits and to seeing you all again the next time around.

Här kommer ett personligt minne från lördagen: vid ett tillfälle fick jag för mig att peka på skärmen och försöka fånga Bruce's blick.
Och vet ni någon tiondel senare gjorde Bruce exakt samma sak.
Det kändes som han sade till mig:
 
-Yeah, Man I see you:)
 
Det ögonblicket kommer jag minnas länge!!
Vilken helg!!

En härlig bild från Ullevi:

Jag vill hylla Victoria med en liten historia om hur jag nästan mötte vår kronprinsessa i verkliga livet :)

Det var en söndag för inte så länge sedan. Jag och mina föräldrar hade valt att förlägga vår söndagspromenad i Ulriksdals slottspark. Jag har alltid kameran - I-phonen i beredskap. Den här gången fotograferade jag en äng, blommorna med Edsviken och slottet i bakgrunden. Då kände jag att någon blängde på mig, som jag kände det lite surt. Jag tittade upp och såg en ung vacker kvinna som jag tyckte såg mycket bekant ut. Precis då sade hon något till sin vännina. Då insåg jag vem det var - ingen mindre än vår kronprinsessa.

Hon var nog orolig för att jag förskte smygfotografera henne :)

Grattis Victoria!!
