Bergen is Norway’s second largest city with 240.000 inhabitants. The city was founded more than 900 years ago.
This is a nice little post. The reviewer goes through each song and gives a very personal opinion.
I can only find a couple of reviews so I'll fall back on the always reliable Backstreets set list pages. From this review I see there were some unusual moments in the show - some quotes here :-
Bergen is known to be a rainy city, and tonight was no exception. Following two hours of heavy rain it came as no surprise that "Who'll Stop the Rain" kicked things off. What indeed was a surprise, however, was the arrangement we were offered: just Bruce, at the mic, and Roy, at the piano, delivering a soulful version that felt fresh and fitting for the occasion.
As Bruce gave the usual five-finger sign to start "Death to My Hometown," Max started playing "Badlands," and the song had to be restarted. After the song, Bruce noted that "We've actually got a setlist, but I tend to go away from it, showing mysterious signs to the band members." A really funny moment.
As in Bergen in 2009 when Steve's acoustic guitar did not work during the intro to "The River," this time he played the wrong notes during the first few bars and they had to start all over.
During "Dancing in the Dark," Bruce was pointing at a sign saying, "I want to dance with Max while Bruce is playing drums." What actually happened: Bruce picked a girl to be his dance partner while the girl with the sign ran up to Max's drum kit, got the sticks, and started to pound away.
So the set list is here as usual. I'm not sure about This Depression myself. I can imagine this one being better live than on the CD. There is a You Tube video but the sound is awful. Looks like it could be really good though.
A pretty good setlist for me - nothing there I don't like.
