EUROPE - The Final Countdown Tour DVD Coming Soon

Submitted By James Walsh on 09/22/06

Europe's THE FINAL COUNTDOWN TOUR: LIVE IN SWEDEN 1986 Available On DVD November 21, 2006 Through MVD Visual

MVD Visual and Talent Trust are pleased to announce Europe - THE FINAL COUNTDOWN TOUR: LIVE IN SWEDEN 1986 for North American distribution on DVD.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Europe's THE FINAL COUNTDOWN album and tour, this 13-track live concert from Solnahallen in Stockholm 1986 has been re-mastered in Dolby Digital and restored in widescreen format. The DVD features interviews with the band from 2006, and an extensive gallery with never-before- seen photos from THE FINAL COUNTDOWN tour. It also features the only existing unreleased outtake from THE FINAL COUNTDOWN recording sessions: "Where Men Won't Dare," an instrumental written by Joey Tempest and John Leven. Additional bonuses include the band revisiting the Powerplay Studios where they recorded THE FINAL COUNTDOWN album, and a detailed bio.

Originally a progressive rock group, Europe failed to attain any popularity until they reworked their sound into a bombastic yet melodic pop-metal. Originally going by the name Force, the band -- featuring founding members Joey Tempest (vocals), John Norum (guitar), and John Leven (bass) -- won a national talent contest in the early '80s earning them a record contract. After changing their name to Europe and releasing two albums in Sweden (EUROPE and WINGS OF TOMORROW), the band landed an international deal with Epic Records.
