Live At Sweden Rock (30Th Anniversary Show)

EUROPEs 30th-anniversary performance at this years edition of the Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden was the bands only Swedish concert of 2013 and the stage show was one of the greatest, if not the greatest of the bands entire career. The setlist was specially composed from EUROPEs entire nine-album discography, including their cult debut "Europe" (1983), multi-million-seller "The Final Countdown" (1986) and their most recent outing, "Bag Of Bones" (2012), which has now reached gold status in Sweden. The performance was also professionally filmed and recorded for release on double CD, DVD and Blu-ray, to be made available on October 16 in Scandinavia via Gain, in the rest of Europe through Edel, and in Japan via JVC.

"Live At Sweden Rock - 30th Anniversary Show" contains live renditions of 28 songs, including cover versions of THIN LIZZYs "Jailbreak" (featuring a guest appearance by THIN LIZZYs Scott Gorham) and UFOs "Lights Out" (featuring ex-UFO guitarist Michael Schenker).

For the record: todays version of EUROPE is identical to the classic "The Final Countdown" lineup: Joey Tempest (vocals), John Norum (guitar), John Levén (bass), Mic Michaeli (keyboards) and Ian Haugland (drums).

"Bag Of Bones" was released in Europe on April 27, 2012 via earMusic/Edel. The CD, which features a guest appearance by blues-rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa (BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION), was produced by Kevin Shirley, who has previously worked with IRON MAIDEN, Joe Bonamassa, BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, BLACK STONE CHERRY and JOURNEY, among others.
