I don't know if there are any other fans of the Norwegian folk rock band Gåte on this forum (apart from Carmen and me), but I'll post this here nevertheless. Here are the first reviews/pictures/clips of Gåte's one-off reunion concert, which took place yesterday and had an impressive audience of about 6,000 people (which I think is quite a lot, especially in Norway):

I'm sure some clips will pop up on youtube soon.

And here's rehearsal- and interview-clip:

Just found another clip from the reunion-concert on youtube in good quality with a great live performance of one of Gåte's best songs, namely "Margit Hjukse":

Their guitarist is really crazy!

I've changed the original title of this thread, because after the success of their allegedly "one-off" reunion-concert, Gåte have announced that they'll play a few more concerts in 2010 at some Norwegian festivals.

So far, they have already been confirmed for Storåsfestivalen (as it says in this article) and for Vinjerock (as it says here).


Gåte have also recently published a book+DVD titled "I Dødens Dal", limited to 600 copies and only available in Norway.

The book (which I received today) contains lots of pictures from the reunion concert and some quotes, mostly by fans. The DVD is - unfortunately - rather short, about 5 minutes from rehearsal sessions before the concert and about 30 minutes from the concert itself, starting with "Grusomme skjebne", which is cut off somewhere in the middle. Then you get to see "Knut liten og Sylvelin", "Sjå attende", "Springleik" and "Margit Hjukse" in full-length, thus at least my two overall faves have been included.

According to this article Gåte will play their final concert at Operataket in Oslo on August 20 and as it looks right now, I'll be there!

The other three concerts they will play are:

24. Jul 2010 Vinjerock Jotunheimen
30. Jul 2010 Storåsfestivalen Sør-Trøndelag
06. Aug 2010 Raumarock Møre og Romsdal

Hi,

I really like this one:

Thanks Burkhard

This song is a wedding march from Jämtland (Sweden). The studio version of this song is to be found on Gåte's first album "Jygri", but there is also a live-version on their official Live-DVD "Liva". They haven't been released in Germany, but can be ordered from cdon.com.


You're welcome!

I've already found some pics of Gåte's concert at Vinjerock two days ago (the first of their five final concerts):

Here are three pictures from their concert yesterday at Raumarock:

Now there's only one concert to come, namely the - allegedly - very last one in Oslo on August 20th, and I'm really looking forward to it!

The concert 6 days ago in Oslo was great! What made it even more special was the fact that I attended it with three people I know from three different forums, whom I've never met in person before - one from Norway, one from Italy and one from the United States - and with three members of Bergtatt, another of my favourite Norwegian bands.

The only negative aspect was that it rained, though luckily not troughout the entire concert, so I could also take some pictures during the first part of the concert (until the rain set in again).

Since the entire concert was filmed with different cameras, it seems very likely that there will be another live-DVD.

Here are some reviews of the concert in Oslo as well as some youtube-clips I've just found:
