One of those magical spring nights, when it's cold, but it just feels cool and nice after you have danced yourself sweaty at a great gig with a great band. And the lilacs are in bloom, and you want to lie down on the grass (but you don't), and you don't feel old at all. #livemusic #Nationalteatern

Magiskt. Och "Bara om min älskade väntar" sist. Jag grät igenom hela. #Nationalteatern
Soon. A classic Swedish band, in Sweden's own genre of 1970s progressive rock - not to be confused with British progressive rock from the same era.
The Swedish version was politically progressive, not musically. It was a rather standard 1970s bluesy rock, not so much symphony rock with flute.

“Doin’ the omoralisk schlagerfestival” (“Doin’ the immoral Schlager Festival”) is a song from 1975 written by Ulf Dageby (a member of the leftist rock orchestra and theater ensemble Nationalteatern) under the pseudonym Sillstryparn (The Herring Strangler).

The song was created as a result of Sweden in 1975 arranging the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time. This event was considered by the prog music movement to be a commercial jippo and as a counter-reaction, the Alternative Festival was organized where several artists criticized the competition. One of these artists was Sillstryparn (The Herring Strangler), a kind of Gothenburg cabaret figure played by Ulf Dageby. The song together with other left-wing protests contributed to Sweden canceling its participation in Eurovision 1976.
