EUROPE: Quality Footage Of HIROCK FESTIVAL Performance

June 9, 2013

Quality fan-filmed video footage of EUROPE' June 2 performance at the HiRock Festival in Loreley Freilichtbühne, Germany can be seen below.

EUROPE's 30th-anniversary performance at this year's edition of the Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden was the band's only Swedish concert of 2013 and the stage show was one of the greatest, if not the greatest of the band's entire career. The setlist was specially composed from EUROPE's 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 filmed for a DVD release.

For the record: today's 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.
