Filmed live at Castle Hill in March 1989, this program features Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famer Del Shannon's last-filmed performance before his death less than a year later of a gunshot wound that was ruled a suicide. Born Charles Westover December 30, 1934, as a boy he learned to play on a guitar that cost five dollars and was held together with wire. After a stint in the Army, Westover concocted the stage name Del Shannon. His first and biggest hit was "Runaway," a worldwide smash. Shannon's last Top 40 hit came in 1982, a remake of the Phil Phillips song "Sea of Love." The concert captured on this video came shortly after Shannon had recorded "Walkaway" with Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne and a new version of his classic "Runaway" for the popular television series Crime Story. In this video Del Shannon and his band perform to a sold-out Australian crowd. Songs performed include "Runaway," "Sea of Love," "Crying," and "Runaround Sue." ~ Steve Blackburn, Rovi
