Michael Jackson Honour Concert Poster
November 13th, 2009. Fasching in Stockholm completely sold out. 16 musicians on stage. Everyone there for the music of one man: Michael Jackson.
I love the music of Michael Jackson and I’m honored that I got the chance to take part in a tribute concert to him at Fasching in Stockholm. Playing this night was amazing! Fasching was completely packed with people, the spirit in the audience and in the band was unbelievable and we had such a good time playing!
Unfortunately not everyone who wanted to see the concert could, since it was completely sold out, but hopefully there’ll be more chances in the future.
The goal of the concert was to play the music of Michael Jackson as true to the original as possible, with all sounds there. Not an easy task, his music is full of small details and I think I have never worked as much before a concert as we did before this one, everyone transcribing every little detail of the recordings. I’m glad we did though, because the result was truly amazing. Here’s a show reel from the concert, which I think captures the whole thing pretty well! Enjoy!
