What a fantastic interview! Great questions, in-depth and some tasty news coming up!
I really hope they do play Europe's debut album in full next year.
Thank you for posting. 🤘🏻

According to John, they're working on a documentary! "We're working on a documentary right now, (...) which has been going on now for about a year, I think, or a year and a half. Actually I think it started when we were in Japan so it must be two years ago, because then COVID hit. We have a British team that was there and filmed the shows. And they've been to South America and they've been filming some stuff now on this tour with Whitesnake as well. We've done a bunch of interviews backstage and things like that. Hopefully that will come out soon. Maybe next year or maybe later this year, I'm not sure."

I really hope they do play Europe's debut album in full next year. That would be awesome! Especially considering many of those songs haven't been played live since the early 80s: Farewell - last time in 1984 Boyazont - last time in 1984 (in full) * Children of This Time - last time in 1983 Words of Wisdom - last time in 1983 * = The first half of "Boyazont" was played as part of a medley, which also included the second half of "Aphasia", on The Final Countdown tour in 1986 as well as John Norum's first solo tour after he released Total Control.
