Europe, the Final Countdown 30th Anniversary Show: Live at the Roundhouse: Directed by Patric Ullaeus. With Ian Haugland, John Leven, Mic Michaeli, John Norum. “What an awesome night…one of the most memorable nights of our career!”

“The stage curtains open …u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn the 80u0026#39;s, I was a teenager who was big on the rock scene, and Europe had their rightful place in my own collection. Fueled by its huge, anthemic hit, u0026quot;The Final Countdownu0026quot;, Europeu0026#39;s 1986 album by the same name featured a solid 10 song list including other hits, u0026quot;Rock The Nightu0026quot;, u0026quot;Carrieu0026quot;, and u0026quot;Cherokeeu0026quot;. But truthfully, every single song on this album was solid and memorable. I was a fan of the band.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThirty years later, after numerous changes with record labels, band members, and 10 studio albums under their belt, Europe released this video showcasing two of their albums in their entirety: u0026quot;War Of Kingsu0026quot;, and of course, u0026quot;The Final Countdownu0026quot;. The video starts off with u0026quot;War Of Kingsu0026quot; and right off the bat, you can see that they are still tight and sounding great. Joey Tempest has lost a bit of his bite, but hey, for a man in his 50u0026#39;s, he still sounds pretty good. After their u0026quot;War Of Kingsu0026quot; set, Europe went into u0026quot;The Final Countdownu0026quot; and brought the house down.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI loved every single minute of this concert footage. The band is still viable and full of energy and exhibit an obvious love for their music and the fans they play it for. Yes, theyu0026#39;ve noticeably aged, but they can still bring it. The thing that struck me as I was watching this concert was that the majority of the concert goers were young – a true testament to how far reaching the impact of their music is.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI highly recommend this video. I had a great time singing along, remembering the days of my own youth when music was such an important part of my formative years. Europe had a part in that. At the end of the concert, the words u0026quot;Thank Youu0026quot; were up on the screens. I return that sentiment to the band. Thank YOU for 30 wonderful years!”
