Considering that Roxette is one of Scandinavia’s most successful bands, it is really about time that there is a documentary about the band.

And given that the group during its sensational comeback tour 2011-2012 played before 1.5 million ecstatic people in 46 countries, it is as much high time for a concert film that shows where the group is right now.

All this and much more fits into the Blu-ray/DVD/CD package “Roxette Live: Travelling The World” which comes out on December 6 and thus should be regarded as the year’s most obvious gift for the world’s Roxette fans.

In fact, Roxette hasn’t released a concert film since the group’s first heydays, when they recorded the Crash!Boom!Bang! concert in Johannesburg before an audience of 52,000 people January 14, 1995. Infinitely more drama and darkness lies between this distant golden age and the unbacked resurgence in 2011-2012. Everything is captured here.

We get for instance a complete concert with 90 minutes of an inspired and energetic Roxette live from Curitiba, Brazil, Cordoba in Argentina and Santiago in Chile. The band had by this time been trimmed into an incorruptible and totally buffed rock machine that night after night pumped out 20 of their world hits with an energy that seemed inexhaustible. The film really captures the ecstatic mood of a typical concert in South America in the spring 2012, from the introduction of “Dressed for Success” to the sing-along party in the final encore “Church of Your Heart.”

In addition to the concert film is also the poignant and insightful documentary “It All Begins Where It Ends,” recorded on the road while Roxette for eighteen months did their unique return to the world stage. Join us behind the scenes, in the bus, at the airport, meet fans around the world and hear the stories of the events that shaped one of Sweden’s most fascinating musical destinies.

Also included is a live CD with 16 tracks, recorded at the Teatro Caupolicán in the Chilean capital Santiago May 12, 2012 and the band members themselves classified as one of the tour’s absolute highlights. It also contains lots of exciting extras in the form of Per Gessle’s backstage films during the tour, the recording of the album Travelling and insights into life on stage just off the headlights.

At the same time a digital/streaming version of the live recording from the Teatro Caupolicán in Santiago will be released with two bonus tracks: “Silver Blue” concert favorite that Roxette fans voted the most desired live song on Facebook, as well as the acoustic encore “Church of Your Heart.”

In short, it’s like Christmas for everyone with a heart for the band that got up at nine, and took back the championship title when it was the least expected.
