The Rolling Stones Tour of Europe in 1982 was their first for six years and demand for tickets was huge. The two month tour began at Aberdeen’s Capital Theatre in late May and ended at the 700 acre Roundhay Park in Leeds, on 25 July. This is the show that you’re about to watch and listen to…

On this live recorded concert special, Lynyrd Skynyrd go back to where it all began. Back to Jacksonville, Florida. Back to the town where their high school phys. ed. teacher Leonard Skinner gave them hell for being the long-haired, booze-swilling, Rock & Roll outlaws they were. Back to the territory that gave birth to the musical and lyrical content of this most American of bands. Back to perform the entirety of “pronounced leh-nerd skin-nerd“ and “Second Helping,” the first two legendary albums that forever planted their rebel flag in the Rock & Roll landscape. The musical origins of Lynyrd Skynyrd come from the genuine, real-deal, American musical roots…

For the first time in absolutely ages, Axel, did perform a short four song set with his original band Steeler (not to be confused with the Ron Keel led American “Steeler” which also featured guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen) then a set that utilized as many of the studio singers as possible, was performed, with them, singing their “own” era’s material and finally a bunch of classic rock tracks were performed by the band enlisting the aid of some special guests/friends. All in all the whole show lasted for almost three hours and celebrated the long history of ARP, in the best way imaginable!
