And despite two decades having passed in what feels like the blink of an eye, the irresistible, bouncy joie de vivre of the song – and others in the A-Ha canon – remains. But the live arena also gives the group chance to do something that was never readily highlighted by their singles – they can rock it with the best of them. Bond theme The Living Daylights retains its air of menace and 2000’s fantastic but cruelly underrated Summer Moved On highlights Morten’s pitch perfection. Material from new album Analogue sounds interesting, though it will always be labelled as an A-Ha ‘sound’ because of Harket’s distinct voice. | "A-Ha took us back to a more innocent age for a couple of hours. And do you know what? It really wasn’t that bad." | | James Bentley, reviewer |
There’s no doubt that the chiselled features of the main man are just as important for a lot of the crowd as the music. Something about the brooding Norwegian makes women of a certain age go slightly limp. The strong, silent type, he barely exchanges 50 words with the audience all night. And as they bop in the aisles to a brilliant encore of The Sun Always Shines On TV, it’s clear that this crowd wouldn’t have it any other way. Perhaps there could have been a rendition of Cry Wolf but it would be churlish to complain too much about anything from the night. A-Ha took us back to a more innocent age for a couple of hours. And do you know what? It really wasn’t that bad.
