| My name is Stein-Vidar and I'm from Norway. I've been a EUROPE fan ever since I heard "The Final Countdown" for the first time back in 1986.
More than 30 years later it still is my favorite song of all time. I started my first EUROPE website, The Europe Sanctuary,
just a couple of days before the band's one-off reunion concert in Stockholm on New Year's Eve 1999. After a while I realized that the name wasn't good enough, and thus I decided to rename it after a EUROPE song. Finally I decided on Aphasia, named after John Norum's epic instrumental on my favorite album of all time, Wings of Tomorrow.
16 years later, more specifically in March 2016, I felt it was time for another name change, this time to Wings of Tomorrow. I've been to thirteen EUROPE concerts – ten in Norway and three in Sweden: |
| 1. | Festplassen Vallset, Vallset, Norway – June 11, 2004 (first concert on their reunion tour!) |
| 2. | Rockefeller Music Hall, Oslo, Norway – October 19, 2004 |
| 3. | Vikafestivalen, Mo i Rana, Norway – July 21, 2007 |
