German metal queen Doro Pesch celebrated the 30th anniversary of performing live during 2013 and 2014 by touring the world extensively for a year and by playing three official anniversary shows.
The tour kicked off impressively in front of 85,000 people at the world’s biggest metal festival, Wacken Open Air, followed by two sold-out nights in her hometown, Dusseldorf, where she also started her outstanding career.
And everyone came to party with Doro: Phil Campbell (MOTÖRHEAD), Biff Byford (SAXON), Chris Caffery (SAVATAGE), Blaze Bayley (ex-IRON MAIDEN), Joakim Brodén (SABATON), Hansi Kürsch (BLIND GUARDIAN), Udo Dirkschneider, Uli Jon Roth, LORDI as well as many more amazing guests — the list of stars who celebrated the metal queen on stage comes across like a “Who’s Who” of the rock and metal scene.
Three decades of Doro — three unforgettable nights — forever captured on three DVDs and two Blu-rays; including an two-hour-plus great music movie, which delivers deep insights behind the scenes and inside the heart of Doro.
Nuclear Blast will release this incredible Doro anniversary package, titled “Strong And Proud – 30 Years Of Rock And Metal“, on June 24. It is a fantastic memory for everyone who has seen Doro live worldwide during her anniversary and a revelation for all fans of good, hard rock music and classy live performance with blood, sweat and tears.
A performance clip of the song “Love Me In Black“, taken from “Strong And Proud – 30 Years Of Rock And Metal“, can be seen above.
“Strong And Proud – 30 Years Of Rock And Metal” contains 38 songs in total, a full load of rock and metal, including all Doro classics, many old WARLOCK hits and ingenious cover versions of songs such as “Fear Of The Dark” (IRON MAIDEN) and “Balls To The Wall” (ACCEPT). The filming and cutting is phenomenal, and the sound crystal-clear. Once again, the packaging was drawn by Doro‘s favourite artist, Geoffrey Gillespie.
Additionally, “Strong And Proud – 30 Years Of Rock And Metal” offers a unique music movie with a two-hour plus documentary, “Behind The Curtain, Inside The Heart Of Doro“. It gives the spectator deep and detailed insights into the world of Doro.
Says Doro:
“There’s always great impressions from all over the world and never before seen pictures from our life behind the stage. The camera team accompanied us for over one year everywhere and captured very emotional, intimate and human situations.”
