In September 1989, Europe did a gig at the Whisky a Go Go club in West Hollywood, California , under the pseudonym Le Baron Boys . That name would later be used as a title for a much-circulated Europe bootleg , which contained demo recordings from 1989 to 1990. Two years later, the album Prisoners in Paradise was released, but received limited media attention due to the “boom” of the grunge movement, started by Nirvana , Soundgarden , Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam . Although the sales were low compared to previous albums, the single ” I’ll Cry for You ” managed to hit number 28 on the UK charts. On New Year’s Eve 1991, Europe kicked off a new tour with a show at the Tokyo Dome , in which Tesla , Thunder and Metallica also performed. The show was called “Final Countdown ’91”.
