Sweden Rock Festival in Solvesborg, Sweden was the location where Swedish rock group Europe recorded this live performance in 2013. Live At Sweden Rock - 30th Anniversary Show is a great value release with twenty six songs taken from the many releases that Europe have recorded since that 1983 self titled debut. Plus covers of Thin Lizzy's "Jailbreak" with Scott Gorham and the UFO track "Lights Out" features an appearance by Michael Schenker.
Europe was so prominent back in the eighties and after taking an extended break the group is enjoying a strong comeback, and you only have to watch this to see those in attendance and what a wide range of ages are present to realise that this band still has it. Europe confirms that they can still put on a great show performing those memorable songs that so many are fond of with a very energetic front man Joey Tempest doing a fine job delivering their hits from throughout the years. It would have been great to have the likes of "Cherokee", "More Than Meets The Eye" and "Love Chaser" included but there are so many others on here that brought back the memories with songs like "Girl From Lebanon", "Superstitious", "Seven Door Hotel" and "Rock The Night" of such a great time in music.
There is just so much on offer here and it shows that the band had plenty of top tunes to select from off their nine albums, and what they have included does present the opportunity to hear how this group has changed over time. The line-up on Live At Sweden Rock - 30th Anniversary Show is the same that featured on their hit album The Final Countdown, and they have been back performing together for a while now and releasing new material the latest being 2012's Bag Of Bones.
Fans of Europe shouldn't pass up the opportunity to witness their performance in front of a massive and enthusiastic audience at the Sweden Rock Festival, celebrating the group's 30th anniversary.
