a-ha in Los Angeles and New York
Nearly twelve years had passed since their last shows in the United States when a-ha returned to Los Angeles and New York this April, and was welcomed with tremendous excitement!
The excitement *might* have been influenced in part by some photos on Morten's Instagram and Facebook accounts, showing how he spent time on his days off in Los Angeles:
Paul also shared some behind the scenes photos from the Wiltern in Los Angeles:
Head over to the a-ha Instagram account to see some fantastic photos taken by Stian Andersen from all of the US shows, including a few of Magne and Morten at the Sunset Marquis and on Mulholland drive, respectively:
In the midst of these four shows, the set list underwent a simple but truly impactful transformation; after the first show at the Wiltern in Los Angeles, the band switched the first and second parts of the set so that the 'Hunting High and Low' tracks - which had opened the first five shows on the tour - became the second half of the set, and 'Take On Me' became the encore and energized finale the concerts really needed.
The set list as of April 8th has been:
Sycamore Leaves
Forest For The Trees
You Have What It Takes
The Swing Of Things
Crying In The Rain
Scoundrel Days
