On 21 August 1992, Roxette released a live video entitled Live-Ism. On a set painted in Piet Mondrian primary colors, Miss Fredriksson struts, leans on the other band members, makes symmetrical arm motions, pouts and straps on a guitar to take a few chords she took off her leather jacket and later her long sleeves, like a G-rated stripper." Recordings She's clearly superior to Roxette's uncomplicated, hook-crammed material" Jon Pareles of The New York Times criticized their show for its "careful mimicry of MTV. A review for the Los Angeles Times claimed that Fredriksson was "squandering her talents in pop's low-rent district. The North American leg of the tour received mixed reviews. By the end of the tour, sales of Look Sharp! and Joyride in those six territories had risen to almost 1.1 million copies, up 27% from pre-tour sales figures. They played four shows in both Argentina and Brazil, with total ticket sales in those countries exceeding 120,000 and 110,000, respectively. Beginning on 25 March 1992 in Mexico City, the thirteen dates saw the band performing to a total of 347,000 audience members in Mexico, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Argentina and Brazil, with ticket prices across the tour averaging roughly US$20. The South American leg of the tour was particularly successful. Tickets for the tour's Swedish dates sold out within a week of release, with the band performing to 104,200 people there over those fifteen dates. So we kept on doing that forever." Opening instead in September in Helsinki, the tour saw the band playing to over 1.7 million people during its 100 shows in Europe, Australia and North and South America. So we started in Europe, and then the whole album just exploded. The tour was originally scheduled to begin in North America, although Per Gessle later explained: "We were supposed to start the tour in America, but then everything got sort of screwed up because of the gulf crisis.
