NO DOUBT with special guests "the Vandals"
HARTWELL ARENA · Helsinki, Finland
10 Oct 1997
By: Erika Andersson
I met No Doubt after the concert in Stockholm and they did not forget me because a couple of weeks later when they were playing in Finland they invited me over. Me and my friend, Patricia, went to Helsinki and spent almost 24h alone with the band. They let us come along during the whole event. We went to the soundcheck, the concert, the dinner, the party afterwards, everything!! They were really cool and nice.

This is me and Gwen backstage. The ring she has on she got from me as a birthday gift.
The actual concert reminded me alot of the one in Stockholm. However, Gwen was not so satisfied. At the hotel she told me that her neck was hurting so she couldn't jump around as much as she usually does. Although, I didn't think the performace was as bad as she said. But they also had some touble with the sound during "Sunday Morning" so you can understand how disturbed and unbalanced they got by that.

This is me and Adrian backstage. Adrian loves beer...
Gwen and the guys did say that the Swedish audience was the best one on this European tour. They thought it was just amazing the way we sang louder than Gwen during almost the whole concert. So, they were telling the truth in Stockholm.

Me, Tony and Tom behind the scenes.
