Before Summer Has Moved On

In a month or so, summer has moved on. To prepare oneself, one can always listen to a great song.

Yes. Here is even more of that Norwegian band. This is a video clip of the song that made them reunite back in last years of the previous millenium. "Summer Moved On" was, as all you a-ha afficionados already know so well, written specifically for a performance at the 1998 Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo. In the year 2000 the song was turned into the bands first single from their "new" album "Minor Earth Major Sky". By then the German producers had blip-blopped the song back and forth a bit and lost some of the magic moments from this beautiful live performance.

I managed to download an audio version of the live performance in just under three hours back in the old days of 100 megahertz computers and tragically slow modems. I had no idea of what an mp3-file was. The computer broke down and the song was lost. Shortly after this incident the song was taken off the internet by a-ha's record company. They were about to launch a new web site and not very keen on having various sorts of downloads littering the net here and there.

So... if anyone has the audioversion in their possession, pleeeaase contact me on this blog.
