Live Over Europe is the first
live album on February 28, 2012.[1]
Background and release
Footage for Live Over Europe was recorded during three shows in the German cities of
Vue Cinemas in the United Kingdom on November 1, which included "an exclusive filmed introduction from all four members of [the band]".[5]
Speaking about the tour in general, producer Kevin Shirley said the following:
We saw that this live act could be an awesome force of nature to behold; one that promised legendary performances like those of our heroes of classic rock. The plan was to get them out there for the entire world to hear. Records allow a certain musical finesse, but live performance promises so much in the very transient nature of a gig; chances are taken, boundaries are crossed and the most exciting performances explode. Two studio albums built a repertoire big enough for a full concert which allowed us to unleash the monster for the rest of the world to see and feel.[2][3]
