The Shadows: The Final Tour

Do yourself a big favor before settling down to watch this concert: Watch the extras first. If you’re not from Great Britain and over 40, chances are you aren’t that familiar with the unique sound of this hugely influential rock band. Listening to the musicians talk about their history helps put their entertaining show in context. Not that you can’t just put the disc in the player, hit play and dance the night away. You can, because after decades of touring the world and burning up the pop music charts, it’s clear from the start that these guys still love their job and it’s nice to know why.
