Few shows from my archives - the No picture post...

Funny and strange how difficult it is sometimes to find live pictures of famous bands on the net!!! Europe and Hardline for example…. They had their time of glory respectively in the mid 80’s and early 90’s. I have spent couple of hours trying to find live pictures of them live. I could not find anything biiger than blurry thumbnails. So this post is a kind of appeal!! I need Live pictures of those bands at the top of their fame!!!! Email me links pictures from your archives. I would appreciate very much!!!

This Europe show was taped in Japan In 1986. It is a mindblowing concert!!

Another Show from Hardline captured live from San Raphael in 1992

Enjoy the shows and send me tons of pictures!!

Europe - the Outtakes

 

Europe - the final Countdown

At the end of the year 1986 Europe began the recording of their next album. The result was The Final Countdown. It became a worldwide hit, selling more than six million copies. The title track was number 1 in 26 countries, and the ballad "Carrie" reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the USA. Not satisfied with the album's keyboard-dominated production nor the band's commercialized image, John Norum decided to leave Europe in November 1986 to pursue a solo career. Kee Marcello was asked to replace him, and after some consideration decided to join the band. The following year included successful tours through the European continent and the USA. The follow-up to The Final Countdown was entitled Out of This World and was released in 1988, a time when Guns N' Roses, INXS and U2 had broken the monopoly that melodic hard rock had on the music industry. The album would sell two million copies, which was considered a fiasco compared to previous sales figures. More touring followed, including an American tour with Def Leppard and a festival gig at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes, England with Bon Jovi, Skid Row and Vixen.

The Final Countdown Tour 1986 features footage from a concert filmed at Solnahallen in Solna, Sweden on May 26, 1986.
