U.D.O.
Live In Bulgaria 2020 – Pandemic Survival Show

In 2020, there were not many live shows. Mostly drive-in or beach chair concerts. But there were exceptions. U.D.O. got the opportunity to perform in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. This was not a fully adequate replacement for the cancelled European tour. But by following a hygiene concept, this gig was made possible. Two thousand five hundred fans had the opportunity to take part in this unique event. Of course, the opportunity was taken, and the show was recorded. And released in March by AFM, as CD, DVD and on vinyl.

Of course, the current album “Steelfactory” was the focus of the evening. Six songs from it alone were on the programme. But Udo wouldn’t be Udo if he didn’t also present older hits. So, one could also hear the title song from the debut album “”Animal House” (1987). “Timebomb”, which came out four years later, was also represented. Nothing more needs to be said about the quality of the individual songs. U.D.O. have been delivering metal at the highest level for decades. Of course, the one or other Accept hit was not missing, such as “Metal Heart” or “Princess Of The Dawn”. The sound quality of the recordings is excellent. The atmosphere, you could say the euphoria of the fans was captured very well. I can’t say anything about the picture quality of the DVD because I only had the audio files.

It’s hard to believe. In the middle of the pandemic, this grandiose live show was celebrated. And recorded in sound and vision. An impressive document of time. No real metal fan should miss these recordings.
