Thank you so much for the concert yesterday, it was amazing! I’m happy and proud that in our country was the first time when a-ha played live “Butterfly”! The standing ovation at the end of the show… it was incredible feeling for me, I’ll never forget it! But it almost made me cry because it was over and no chance to see you together again…
Thank you all for the joy you bring us with your music!
Awesome show last night! Truly like a dream come true after so many years of hoping A-ha would finally make it to Hungary. Was wondering what I was doing sitting down up in row R when at Scoundrel Days I finally flew down the stairs and found myself dancing and chanting till the end. Never thought you CAN actually dance to Take On Me!
) Unforgettable. Thank you guys!
Oh..and thanks for the Hungarian words, Magne! Respect.
Yesterday I saw them in Budapest on a fantastic, amazing concert!This was one of the best day of my life.
Thank you for this wonderful evening….
A-HA WILL BE FOREVER IN MY HEART.
Dear Morten, Mags and Paul! Thank you so much for the amazing show last night in Budapest! The show was perfect for me, guys were lovely, too.:) This was the first (and last) time when a-ha gave concert in Budapest, so it was very special for me (and Hungarian fans)! I was standing in front of Mags in the first line… I was able to see all the small things between them, which was very interesting. We were the first to hear Butterfly, Butterfly live on a concert…
Thanks for that! I am not able to sleep, as I see them on stage and hear the songs in my head. “How can I sleep with your voice in my head..”
))))
I feel happyness and I am sure that I will always remember for the feeling I am feeling now! A-HA made my dream come true by coming to my country, I cannot describe what is in my heart and soul right now!!! Thank you very much, I do respect it!
Beyond the show… I got the chance to meet the guys personly and took photo with them. Thanks, God!:) It is just so unbeliavable, too! Thank you very much for your time and understanding!!!!
Hope to see a-ha later this year… I need this feeling, it is like a drug…
I am not able to tell you what I feel as it is beyond expression… I need time to belive that it really happened with me!
A-HA FOREVER WILL BE IN MY HEART!
With love,
Evi
Thanks for the great concert last night guys. I am a lucky bastard, I will see you again in Amsterdam in October. Too bad you decided to call it quits….but your legacy is forever…
i’m HERE* <: lololol****
I’m kidding
lolol, Sorry, gave a tilte memory in me that I found this amusing ::) Minor Earth / Major Sky!!Poor Morten stood alone on the Moon!!
I loved this clip, you guys are awesome – Ahh making fans happy¨¨
Oh the things that you say
Is it life or just to play my worries away
You’re all the things I’ve got to remember
You’re shying away
I’ll be coming for you anyway** Take on me – GOOD TIMES – **
oWWHH, how their music SPEAK WITH ME, MY GOD, there’s no way -
Wow, I have not thanked the show’s A-ha I was in Brasilia in March that it was silly, the next day was so excited that I arrived at school crying **! And really forgot. That is, all their shows are great, do not say this because I am one of the craziest fans_ is because you are great!!
All well-adjusted people
Can’t you tell?
And everything is all too fast
Just add water Nothing’s built to last
When your colleagues can’t recall your name
Time and time again
There’s a reason for it
When your name’s the butt of every joke
Just about to croak T
here’s a reason for it
And everyone is worlds apart

I was there, I was crying, singing and feeling in the ninth heaven …it was a magic night, it was overwhelming and I’m still very-very emotional. I was standing on the first row and I had the chance of a happy moment before the concert ended…here’s : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afZ4RMa_jHg

Hi Boys,
It’s really hard to describe my feelings in words.
I have never ever felt such happiness like this
during your Budapest concert.
My eyes are still dimmed with tears just
as I am writing these lines. But these are the
tears of happiness, because I have
been waiting for it since I was 12!!!
It was worth waiting 23 years!
Thank you all for this wonderful experience!
I will never forget it!!! And of course I won’t
forget you either. Szeretlek Morten! <3
I was at the concert in Salem on july 18th. It was so amazing. I enjoyed every single second! Thank you for the wonderful evening! And thank you Morten for sharing some minutes behind the stage with me before leaving! Moments that will always stay in my mind!
Finally I could upload my video over the last song, Take On Me:

thankx!
Dear Morten! Magne and Paul! I remember each moment of a concert! Maybe in Germany I will see you again. Yours respectfully.IHatha.
Happy Birthday Morten!
Dear Morten, Magne and Pal!
I’m sad, because i couldn’t go to the concert of A-ha in Budapest. I know it, it was the last, but i hope it, you will come to Hungary again. In that case I’ll be certain to go. You are my favorite bands, and thank you the last twenty-five years. I always will listen to the songs of A-ha.
You know, I will always remember this day of the Budapest concert, and the brandnew song Butterly butterfly presenting here for the first time live. My grandmother was dying that time, and she left the Earth a month later. During the last days I kept watching the video of the song again and again and I was crying. While she was breathing last I recall a picture of a butterfly flying up. So when I listen to this song, I remember these last painful days of my grandma and this sad time in hospital with her. A-ha, you wrote a song I will remember till the end. Thank you.
