Formed in Calgary in 1979, Loverboy caught the ear with their powerhouse music, the vocals of Mike Reno and red leather pants!
On June 7th, 2024, one of their most memorable live performances will be released for the very first time, in high definition.
"Live In '82" has been lovingly restored by guitarist Paul Dean from his personal archive of 16mm film. With their great music, colorful clothing, outrageous hairstyles (and headbands!), and songs that featured on the soundtracks for movies like 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off', and 'Top Gun', "Live In '82" will become available on limited CD Blu-ray, limited LP+DVD and digital streaming and download.
For more than 40 years, Loverboy has been "Working For The Weekend", delighting audiences around the world.
In 1979 vocalist Mike Reno was introduced to guitar hot shot Paul Dean, both veterans of several bands on the Canadian scene. Along with Reno and Dean, Loverboy still includes original members Doug Johnson on keyboards and Matt Frenette on drums.
With their trademark red leather pants, bandannas, big rock sound and high-energy live shows, the band has sold more than 10 million albums, earning several multi-platinum awards. In 2009, the group was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, and more recently the Canadian Walk of Fame, in the fall of 2023.
And there is no stopping the band this year, as they embark on a Live Nation promoted North American tour supporting Sammy Hagar, starting in July this year.
To show how good the live performance was, check out the video of "Torn me Loose" below.
