Partial EUROPE Reunion Brings House Down At Stockholm Club
December 14, 2002Three-fifths of the most celebrated EUROPE lineup — guitarist John Norum, bassist John Levén, and drummer Ian Haugland — reunited on stage last night (Dec. 13) at the Hard Rock Café in Stockholm, Sweden to perform the EUROPE classic "Rock The Night" and a version of LED ZEPPELIN's "Rock And Roll".
The gig, which took place as part of the Christmas show of local radio station Rockklassiker 106.7, also featured an appearance by LION'S SHARE guitarist Lars Chriss, who played with Haugland during the regular set before Norum and Levén joined the duo for the explosive finale. Haugland himself is said to have handled the lead vocal duties for the EUROPE track, while a local DJ was brought in to sing the ZEPPELIN classic.
Rumors are continuing to circulate about a possible EUROPE reunion, with all the members of the group having publicly expressed interest in exploring the option at some point in the not-too-distant future. However, for the time being, at least, those plans have been put on hold as frontman Joey Tempest continues to promote his recently-released third solo album, which has been receiving positive reviews.
