The Shadows long and influential career spanned 6 decades, with hit singles or albums in every one of them. Hank Marvin's guitar playing has been an inspiration to hordes of wannabes down the years, including the likes of Brian May, Eric Clapton and Pete Townshend.
Over a decade after their previous tour, Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch and Brian Bennett reunited as The Shadows for The Final Tour, which kicked off in spring 2004 and would be their last live dates apart from a final reunion with Cliff Richard. A sell out everywhere, the band played to over 90,000 people in the UK and many more around Europe, a testament to their ongoing popularity. This concert was recorded at Cardiff's International Arena on June 5.
