Enthusiastic review of the tour finale on Saturday, 08.09.2001, at Sting Nere: two hours, 16 songs, not a minute of slack; the Scot looked like a tramp and entertained like a king. The reviewer hardly knew Leven beforehand and asks why some become superstars and others remain an insider tip. Leven walked on stage in shorts, a tattered shirt and with a patched-up guitar; he gets away with swearing, sex talk and puns thanks to a disarming manner, scattered in anecdotes from Norway and Scotland, small digs at Mette-Marit and at Americans. Only four songs came from the new album. Leven promised to come back next year – only about 50 spectators were there.

Summary in our own words; for the exact wording see the original.
