Erasure 'On The Road to Nashville' DVD

With more than 14 million albums sold so far Erasure have always been proudly defiantly shamelessly pop but behind the impressive sales figures and kitsch stage costumes it has sometimes been overlooked just what consistently great songwriters Vince and Andy have been throughout their career. For their 2006 Acoustic Tour Andy Bell and Vince Clarke reworked a selection of the defining songs that embody their two decades together and were joined onstage for the first time ever by a full band. Led by guitarist Steve Walsh Andy Bells vocals and Vince Clarkes guitar... mandolin and melodica were joined by an array of musicians and instruments that included the pedal steel autoharp and banjo. Filmed live on Erasures Union Street Acoustic Tour in May 2006 in Nashville Tennesse at the Ryman Auditorium (once home of the infamous Grand Ole Opry with a stage that once hosted a teenage Elvis Presley) the DVD features never before seen versions of hits and live favourites such as Oh LAmour Love To Hate You Stop! Blue Savannah Victim of Love and Sometimes as well as a short film The Road to Union Street and a bonus audio CD featuring 18 of the live tracks. Union Street a captivating and boldly experimental album for an electronic band saw Erasure unplugged and bringing soulful new depths and acoustic textures of 11 songs spanning an incredible career that has recently seen Andy Bell and Vince Clarke (also known for his work with Depeche Mode and Yazoo amongst others) score 32 consecutive UK Top 40 hits and appear by the Book of British Hit Singles as one of the Most Successful Acts of All Time.
