LOVERBOY RELEASE FULLY RESTORED + REMIXED LIVE VERSION OF “WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND” — WATCH
TRACK TAKEN FROM THEIR FORTHCOMING ALBUM LIVE IN ‘82
The story of Loverboy is akin to a Hollywood movie. Overcoming rejection to eventually become one of Canada’s most successful rock bands of all time and selling millions of albums in the process is a feel-good story for the ages.
For more than 40 years, Loverboy have been “Working For The Weekend” (and on the weekend), delighting audiences around the world since forming in 1979.
The year 1982 represented a triumphant 12 months for the rock band with extremely successful arena shows in the course of their second studio album, the multi-platinum awarded US Top 10 record Get Lucky (featuring various hit singles such as the aforementioned “Working for the Weekend,” “When It’s Over,” “Lucky Ones,” and “Take Me To The Top”), and winning no less than six Canadian JUNO Awards — a record that still stands today.
Today’s release of their 1982 live performance “Working for the Weekend” is another exciting foretaste of the incredible live show Live In ’82 becoming available for the very first time in high definition on June 7. Pre-order it here.
