BKP sent this along a few months ago probably because he knew I loved their last album. Here is a link to that post ...please read it because I won't rehash it here. Yes, the blank video screens piss me off, too, but that's the nature of the beast when you embed cool, fan-based selections, ie. unauthorized versions. Between the artists' legal teams and YouTube's, one will eventually get your account deleted. Not this time, though, as the entire two-plus hours of this concert is right there for everyone to see on the band's VEVO channel.
Playing in front of a home crowd, the band rocks hard through their catalog, serving up several of my favorites from the pre-breakup days and a few from that last gem of 2012. Sure, I didn't know the tracks from the reformation years, but they all sounded like Europe, which is a good thing in my book. One of the covers made me smile as I cranked the volume...
Good lord, where did they dig him up?! Schenker's had such a checkered history but he can still play. Do your rockin' self a favor and investigate some UFO albums. Vocalist Joey Tempest still sounds good and dammit if he isn't one of the youngest-looking 50-year-olds in the business.
I started a "concert" folder on my music hard drive for records just like this one. Keeping the whole damn thing...
