COMMENT         : Shortly after the release of their fourth studio album “Rockwall” at the end 
                  of 2018, Piledriver started their European tour of the same name in January 2019,
                  which ended about 12 months later with the show at the Arrow Rock Festival in the 
                  IJsselhallen in Zwolle (NL), because a few days later, Covid reached Europe. As a
                  result, all planned concerts had to be postponed indefinitely, and the increasingly 
                  dramatic course of the pandemic, with no realistic prospect of being able to play live
                  again in the foreseeable future, suggested that Piledriver had already played their last 
                  gig after more than 25 years of band history and would probably never set foot on the
                  stage again. This fear became bitter reality in August 2020: keyboarder Rudi Peeters 
                  died tragically and far too early at the age of 42. Due to this stroke of fate and the
                  travel restrictions caused by the pandemic, the show on January 25th, 2020 in Zwolle was
                  not only the final concert they played together, but also the last personal meeting with 
                  Rudi before his death. The end of Piledriver seemed to be sealed.

                  During the Rockwall tour between March 2019 and January 2020, three concerts in three 
                  European countries were filmed for a possible later release: a show in Herne (Germany)
                  supporting Ian Paice featuring Purpendicular, a concert in Minehead (UK) at the Status Quo 
                  Fan Convention and finally the concert at the Arrow Rock Festival in Zwolle (Netherlands). 
                  Over two years since the last show, the band reunited to sift through more than three hours 
                  of footage – and were keenly aware of the fact that these recordings were the last of the 
                  band’s longtime line-up. They quickly realized that these three shows represent a contemporary
                  document that could not have better captured the band and all its facets. Hence it was decided
                  to not only finalize the concerts for a release, but to bring Piledriver back on stage, too.

                  Demonstrating their musical and playing skills, Piledriver impressively illustrate why the 
                  band has become a fixture in the European classic rock festival scene. Enthusiastically and 
                  to the point, the band presents their own extensive repertoire of the previous four studio 
                  albums as well as numerous Status Quo classics with their rousing stage show.
