Europe - The Final Countdown (Live 1999-2000)

[TwinofDevil]

Ich mag das lied wer mag es auch daumen hoch

[elvengadorcerocho]

wooow the 5-piece Europe!!!!

[OneOneElevenOne]

Played this in the last 5 minutes before the Reddit black out, brought a tear to my eye...

[ronaldromero85]

Your video is a favorite on Abidjan

[enjoeyeurope]

苦しそう、、、寒いのと、久々のプレイでの緊張なんだろうなぁ。

本当はもっと出来る人達なのに！！

再結成後は、成功していて良かった。

[MayelGura]

And not to meantion the fact that the money they got from this, they didn't even get!!

The drummers "friend" said he'd take care of 'em and he disappeared "magically" with approx. $2.7 million. x)

[bostrom94]

@MayelGura i've read the biography myself too. kindda makes you appriciate kee a bit more.

He didn't deserve to be thrown out of the band.

Do they still owe money or have they paid that of yet?

[MayelGura]

150 grand each... (Previous post)

[MayelGura]

So I've read Kee's biography and it was originally meant to have Kee in the band as well but in the last minute, Europe's manager told Kee he was no longer welcome and none of the band members have spoken to Kee since. And Kee thinks he deserves rights in the band and that's why he's going to sue them. Did you also know the band members including Kee got about 150 grand ($) for this performance?

[europe20092009]

for 25 years more!!!!

[markmartinez717]

Strange feedback with this video yet again.



[rambo464]

寒そうｗ

[HammarbySjostadify]

New Years Eve 1999, in Stockholm. I was there, snow and freezing cold, about -20 degrees Celsius.

[XT102AA]

Seria bueno otro concierto con John Norum y Kee Marcello

[MultiRunescape999]

The older this song, the finer it gets.

[MrLOSERIFICATION]

guitar god battle, awesome

[trypticon101]

This is how they should have continued. With TWO guitar gods instead of one. Guess it will never happen now that Kee decided to sue them...

[asianfreedom21]

Twin guitar ,way cool.

[ravick2009]

33 people will not go to Venus when the final countdown start.

[BobTheSkeleton]

wheres Bryan Danielson when you need him? 

[daveanthonybrown]

How cold is it there? The bassist has fingerless gloves on!

[bugatti94]

@daveanthonybrown probably below 4-5 degrece. Thats not rare here in scandinavia. Actually 0 degrece is normaly in Northern Norway around september/october.

[tikapwn]

still good...but it is a LITTLE bit better on the music video.

[LightTheHawk]

Thumbs up if you still listening to this in 2011

[Simonorum]

Epic, isn't it?

[98buddel]

UK: So it's Musik !

GER: So muss Musik sein !

[numpty2005]

When Rock was real! Not like now when they have talent contest to find the people. These people found themselves. Fantastic!!!

[Gritsen]

@numpty2005 YOU KNOW WHAT'S IRONIC? Europe actually won a talent contest ROCK-SM in '82. : D

[sidoboy3214]

einfach nur göttlich



[ekayurov]

олололлоо я ебу (сношай) гусей

[lukah777777]

EPIC

[pedroguina1]

THE BEST!!!!

[Metalfie66]

That Harmony solo was the best ever!!!

[guachobarbaro]

un calor de la concha e su madre!!

[oussa1231]

time when rock was back ...

[Simonorum]

It's great to ear John Norum and Kee Marcello playing the solo at the same time :D

[rogger2586]

epic

[riseagainst11000]

They played in front of 500 000 - 1 000 000 people that day.

[mr888cool]

@riseagainst11000 impossible. Queen won this record when they played in morumbi,São Paulo,Brazil,with 131,000 people in the stadium. but europe still rocks :)

[HungKiet]

i like in the old day

[Blazekjanhust]

What is the only sad thing over this video - the fact, that many of people isn't able to recognize Kee Marcello. Remember!: in spite the fact, that Norum recorded 3 albs during 1982-1986, Kee did next 2 during 1986-1992. So that Marcello spent in the band more time during first EUROPE era than Norum!!!!! Both Marcello and Norum are excellent in solos from times they participated in the band, b ut can't play solos from albums, they were off. Kee's problem is Rock the night,John's Superstitious.

[Blazekjanhust]

This is the reason, why every Europe fan should want both guitarists on 1 stage as we can se here. As you can see, this is ROCK!

[Xage85]

epic performance.. so glad i was there

[123boje]

21 justin bieber fans i guess

[Juugo14789]

@123boje or wrose fans of the justin biber's song

[superdemonguy1]

damn, joey tempest looked better back in the day

[joeytmichaelj27]

oh my god guys!!! i mean they all have jackets on, exept poor joey, who must be FREEZING!!! and he stil sings sooo well :) <3 and hes sooo HOOTT <3 hes my hero <3 joey. next time put on a jacket!!

[musicbymax]

WOW RESPECT!!!

the guitarists did an incredible job playing that solo in that cold oO

[nltiti]

i think they are less pride then before expectially Joey Tempest (Joachim Larson)

I prefer Jonh Norum than Kee Marcello

he was a friend of Joey

[SallySarah100]

wow einfach geil

[ErikBlondie]

Well... their label fucked them over back in the 90's so Joey among other members fled the country due to some serious tax issues. I believe that it was this gig that made them ''cool'' with their label one again. Also... Their drummer Ian used to work @ Arlanda Airport driving bags to the airplane. Midlife crisis indeed.

[Nightcrawlerinsweden]

the singer really fails to be honest sure i know its minus 20 outside that hes not in hes youth anymore but still even considering that his preformance isnt really good he should be able to pull some high tones i mean the backup singers manage to and he doesnt really have any power eather :/

[KrazyDeejay]

@Nightcrawlerinsweden why dont u try singing in -20 degree ;)

[Nightcrawlerinsweden]

@KrazyDeejay as a matter of fact i have ;)

[helehole]

How can anyone "Disslike" this!?!?!? got so pissed right there >=(

[mariofan4523]

Final countdown to hypothermia! I get cold just watching them!

[Vipergti1985]

damn they got old xD

[SOULdierX93]

really, this live version is the best ive heard in Youtube. the 80's music video is just way too "whimsical".

[rock100pre]

JOHN NORUM is THE BEST GUITAR by THE BAND europe

JOHN NORUM the best GUITAR in the future to come

yeahhhhhhhhhhh

SALUDOS a todos que esuchan buena musica en el YOUTUBE

[rock100pre]

SI QUE YA PASO MUCHO TIEMPO desde la entrada al nuevo milenio

QUE BUENA BANDA EUROPE

DE LO MEJOR

[magnus206]

no pueden cantar el frio debe estar ufffffff

[eltryzz]

EL SOLO SE ESCUCHA INCREIBLEMENTE BIEN CON DOS GUITARRAS!!!!!!!! Y QUE GUITARRAS KEE MARCELLO Y JHON NORUM SON DOS INMORTALES!!!!YA QUE CON UNA SOLA GUITARRA SIEMPRE SE EXTRAÑA LA HARMONIA....QUE FRIO DEBE ESATR HACIENDO QUE YA PARACE QUE SE MUEREN

[Hurebal]

-15°C ..... Rock´n Rooollllllll !!!!!!!

[kejt93bub]

it had to be sooo fucking cold ! i think joey had ski pants;d and john norum looks sooooo good here

[Kawayoporu]

I was thinking if the words would be Welcome To The 80s and fits the same syllable as It's The Final Countdown. Well I don't know if someone had sing in a different way, because It's The Final Countdown is from the 80s.

[andersonnorum]

guauuuuuuuu this video is amaizing this is the way to said goood bye to the milenniummmmmm

[Aaaaaaalucard]

one of the best rockband ever

europe forever

[godjoey1]

@Aaaaaaalucard nice ryme ^^

[FinalFantasyFairy]

.......How the heck did they do that in that freaking cold weather! you like cant even see the drummers face at first because of all that frozen breathes coming from his mouth. Kudos to them singing in that freezing temperature because seriously i have learned from experience. it is harder to sing in the cold. ur vocal chords freeze and tense up and they need to be warm and loose when your belting songs like these.

[vicentem7]

Que frío deben estar pasando.

Esas voces muy tocadas, en las giras posteriores mucho mejor con las voces..

[JohnyWakka]

they are jumping to get warm :P

[shmeckmer]

norum are so much cooler then marcello

[Lotsoffun111]

guys the vocals arent bad the sound quality on the video is AWFUL!

[cool79606]

@Lotsoffun111 its hard singing in cold weather lol

[Fredriklarsson2]

Var 7 år gammal men kommer fortfarande ihåg detta.

[SOULdierX93]

@AFABIANO1 u suck

[lgi850420]

I compared favor John Norum Kee Marcello to lose him

[AmiAbuOfficial]

they realy performed in front 500000 fans?

[europe20092009]

increible john norum y kee marcello juntos....buenisimo recuerdo

[Mannerson]

Were not ignorant, ure a little twat who thinks u know it all and posts idiotic comments without any real facts. Do you really think it's warm outside? Its minus 20! Would YOUR voice sound the same? NOBODYS voice stays the same 20 years later, but joey tempest voice has improved, it has matured alot and he can still hit the high parts live, listen to the new albums and u'll know that I mean. But from now on, just if u know ure comment will upset ppls, KEEP EM TO URESELF AND DONT BE AN IDIOT.

[1000061871]

@Mannerson

They are vikings !!!

[mysweettragic]

@Mannerson i just got back from europe gig at leeds academy and they were awesomeeee ...

[worldstefanos]

@Mannerson Yeah! And by the way, beautiful doesn't mean high notes and reversal... try to sing decently the songs in the recent albums and you'll will discover that Joey is Joey and he's fantastic.

[Mannerson]

@worldstefanos Im fully aware of that mate ;) He's my idol and his voice gives me the chillz in each and every song.

[godjoey1]

@Mannerson did u say joey O_o my name is joey i never noticed and i like the song ^^

[merrydancers74]

I prefer Original time

[mobil999999]

so fucking cool that both John Norum and Kee Marcello are playing!!!!!

[wazzyman]

yes, mr. marcello has to come to his senses and return to europe

[SandReckoner14]

Dreadfull sound at 2:42. But overall a good performance considering the conditions.

[galgalico]

john and kee are too monsters its a luxuri see both together!!!

[metalheadsilay]

europe still rocks!

[danchannell]

90's hair just doesn't do it , amazing how a few years change every thing, still a good band, but sometimes you just have to go to bed

[ShaddowSwordX]

[chantal010234]

[Iceeeen]

Amazing performance in that cold temperature. Would like to see a another artist mange to do that. Playing guitar is even more amazing. Your fingers are like ice taps after a minute.

[Alvedonat]

@Iceeeen yepp, been there with frozen fingers, hard and a good comment

[dpsdan4]

ROCKY!!!!

[MarcelloKee]

I was in the crowd that night. It was -15 degress celcius and a little windy. I was wearing skiing clothing and was freezing my ass off....

But it was a MAGIC moment !!

[plumshoejeff]

OMG,can you imagine what it took to get out there in that cold ass weather and perform !!?? These guys really still kick freakin ass after 20 plus years !!!

[ILLRICARDO]
