Title: Northernmost BB concert?
Post by: Fall Breaks on May 07, 2009, 03:37:21 AM
On July 3 this year the Beach Boys will play in Piteå, Sweden. Since Piteå is located at 65°19′N, would this be the northernmost location for a BB gig ever? They've played in Fairbanks, Alaska, right? That's 64°50′N.

Actually it looks like the July gig just maybe the most Northernmost one they have done.
What an interesting thread for all those who enjoy their geography  ;)

I recall that they played Reykjavik  Iceland in November 2004 (After the UK Tour) and i have checked it out (how sad) and its co-ordinates are 64 8' N , that would therefore place it in 3rd place

Rob, that is not sad at all - this stuff is important!  ;D Actually, I didn't think about Iceland. Interesting that it's so close North-wise.

Darn it, that'll be a tough one to beat!

Piteå. Way after I'd got the tickets, and planned a accompanying vacation trip up North, the Töreboda show was announced. That would've been somewhat nearer... How about you?

So Mike & Bruce are finally flying to the European mainland again and they're leaving it at two shows in Sweden? A show in Holland or Belgium would be nice... Or western Germany or northern France, even...
