Erasure's Road To Nashville
Erasure's Road To Nashville...
One of the most successful acts of all time gathers hits and live favourites on new DVD!
With more than 14 million albums sold, Erasure have always been proudly, defiantly, shamelessly pop but behind the impressive sales figures and kitsch stage costumes, it has sometimes been overlooked just what consistently great songwriters Vince and Andy have been throughout their career.
For their 2006 Union Street Acoustic Tour Andy Bell and Vince Clarke reworked a selection of the defining songs that embody their two decades together and were joined onstage, for the first time ever, by a full band.
Led by guitarist Steve Walsh, Andy Bell’s vocals and Vince Clarke’s guitar, mandolin and melodica were joined by an array of musicians and instruments that included the pedal steel, autoharp and banjo.
Filmed live on Erasure’s Union Street Acoustic Tour in May 2006 in Nashville, Tennesse at the Ryman Auditorium - the DVD features never before seen versions of the songs ‘Oh L’Amour’, ‘Love To Hate You’, ‘Stop!’, ‘Blue Savannah’, ‘Victim of Love’ and ‘Sometimes’.
The DVD also features a short film, ‘The Road to Union Street’ and a bonus audio CD featuring 18 of the live tracks.
The ‘On The Road To Nashville’ DVD is out on 29th January
