We started off in a moving tram and Jaakko Laitinen & Väärä Raha -boys kept playing the whole time. At stops they would walk out and play outside for a while, the passengers would smoke a cigarette and then the tram would continue its journey through the streets of Helsinki.
There was a warm atmosphere. After one hour ride the tram was so full it was hard to breathe. Most people were standing to see the musicians in the recess in the middle of the tram. Some struggled to keep balance, not only because the tram was moving and jerking during braking. People sang along and shared their drinks with strangers. When one bottle was empty another one opened :-)
Then there was time for the actual concert at night. Over two hundred people gathered in Gloria and danced like there was no tomorrow. I featured in three songs and the rest of the gig I danced and jumped in the crowd.
If you missed this gig don't worry. Jaakko Laitinen & Väärä Raha have plenty more gigs to come.
