Europe, Shepherds Bush Empire 19th Feb 2011

[Captain Howdy]

Saw Europe for the first time last night, and the show was awesome.

They played to a packed house, which was obviously a good thing as they filmed the show for an upcoming DVD release.

Only downer for me is that while they played songs from the early career to the modern day, they played absolutely nothing from my fave album, Prisoners in paradise.

At the encore they did play a new track (Doghouse) and said they would be going into the studio in October to record a new album for release in 2012.

Actually, just realised they did play one song from PIP, Seventh sign, just none of the singles from it.

according to comments from Joey on FB, the tracklisting is like this because they wanted something different to the last live DVD they released.
