Eurythmics at ethrill.net :: Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart

In 1991 Dave Stewart performed ‘Amnesty’ (aka ‘The Amnestry Song’) with an all male choir and an orchestra at ‘Amnesty International’s BIG 30′, the organisation’s 30th anniversary. This classical, instrumental piece of music has never been released on CD or record but in Europe on the complete 4 DVD box of the charity show and concert series “The Secret Policeman’s Ball” as well as the very cheap The Secret Policeman’s Ball – Music edition DVD (screenshots see left).

Now a new US DVD called “The Secret Policeman Rocks” includes Dave Stewart’s rare performance. Read a review of the new DVD here and official press details below:

In June 1979, Pete Townshend gave a solo acoustic performance at Amnesty Internationals Secret Policeman’s Ball benefit show in London, inspiring Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Sting, Bob Geldof, Phil Collins and many others to perform for Amnesty. It also helped inspire the unplugged of the 90s, and galvanized a generation of musicians to become involved in social and political causes: Sting, Peter Gabriel, Bob Geldof (who later founded Live Aid) and Bono all cite the show as the inspiration for their activism. In celebration of the 30th anniversary of that historic first show, Shout! Factory is proud to partner with Amnesty on this collection of the musical highlights from three decades of Secret Policemans Ball shows.
