SPV Records release AXEL RUDI PELL 'Live Over Europe' a double DVD on 25th February in celebration of Pell’s outstanding show at the Rock Hard Festival in 2007.  The 75-minute concert features the Axel Rudi Pell Band performing haunting versions of classic tracks, including ‘Strong As A Rock’, ‘Tear Down The Walls’, ‘Mystica’, ‘Rock The Nation’ and ‘Fool Fool’.  The band line-up is Axel Rudi Pell (lead, rhythm & acoustic guitars); Johnny Gioeli (lead & backing vocals); Ferdy Doernberg (keyboards); Volker Krawczak (bass) and Mike Terrana (drums and percussion).

The bonus Official Bootleg DVD contains material featuring select footage from 2004 to 2006.  This material, taken from Pell’s private vaults, includes from 2005: Wacken Open Air and Bang Your Head Festivals, the 2004 Sweden Rock Festival and shows in the UK, Belgium and Switzerland, as well as unique footage from his local club, the Zeche in Bochum.  

With a total playing time of over three and a half hours, Live Over Europe is a comprehensive document highlighting the impressive live qualities of a band who have a few things up their sleeve for next year.   Says Pell: “There will be a new studio album in 2008, plus a number of festival shows, and a headliner tour in the autumn.” That’s all he’s prepared to give away at this point, so we’ll just have to wait and see.
