- Synopsis:
If a band can claim squatters rights, then Deacon Blue can take ownership of the charts. Their first album Raintown set the precedent, spending 77 weeks in the album chart, and with five top 5 UK albums (of which 2 were number 1) under the belts they have chalked up an impressive 4 years in the British album charts. Their seventeen top 40 singles resided in the chart for more than 2 years. They may be serious about creating timeless songs, but are never afraid to have fun with the live experience, challenging the strength of the world's concert hall floors for bounce-ability. This live video and accompanying album (P3MCD018) was recorded during their sell-out 2007 tour of Europe. Like many artists of quality, the success did not come overnight. A commitment to live performance built a solid fan base, and despite the fact that the first release of Raintown was met with critical rather than commercial success, a re-release following extensive touring, meant the album spent 77 weeks on the UK chart. Raintown was the first of five top five albums, with Dignity the first of 18 top 40 singles. Six million album sales were the backbone of Deacon Blue's lasting success and now they remain one of the most popular touring bands, with tickets for live performances rarely available for long.
