Concert Review
“MTV Unplugged Sweden 01-09-1993,” recorded live at Cirkus in Stockholm, captures Roxette in a beautifully intimate setting. Stripping away their bright studio polish reveals the strength of Per Gessle’s songwriting and the emotional power of Marie Fredriksson’s voice. The acoustic arrangements give new color to their global hits, shifting them from radio-ready pop to warm, organic performances that showcase nuance, depth, and chemistry. The setting is relaxed yet elegant, allowing the duo to shine with a mix of charisma, vulnerability, and musical maturity.

“Joyride” transformed into a playful, stripped-down performance with strong rhythmic energy.
Beautiful harmonies on “Fading Like a Flower,” highlighting the duo’s vocal blend.
