Mike + the Mechanics + Paul Carrack: Live at Shepherds Bush London (2005)

In 1985, Genesis member Mike Rutherford sculpted an illustrious side project named Mike & The Mechanics, running parallel to his work with Phil Collins and Tony Banks. The project's debut album, featuring vocal talents of Paul Carrack, formerly of Ace, and Paul Young, formerly of Sad Café, exploded onto the scene with the immediate hit 'Silent Running', igniting a chain reaction of successful singles and albums that filled the intervals in the Genesis schedule. In 2004, following the tragic loss of Paul Young, the band re-emerged from the ashes with a fresh studio album 'Rewired'. With the reins of lead vocals handed over to Paul Carrack, the band embarked on a victorious tour across Europe, reaching its zenith with a riveting performance at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire. This film captures the electrifying energy of this concert, featuring tracks from their new album, sprinkled with a selection from their previous albums, culminating in a 'greatest hits' assembly that includes vibrant classics such as 'Silent Running', 'Another Cup Of Coffee', 'Beggar On A Beach Of Gold', 'Over My Shoulder', 'Word Of Mouth', and the emblematic 'The Living Years'. Through this movie, experience the captivating journey of Mike & The Mechanics in all its glory, as they carve a distinct path in the annals of rock history. This is more than a concert film; it's a celebration of resilience, creativity, and timeless music.
