Loverboy

In the live recording of "Working For The Weekend" from the Expo 86 Gala, Loverboy was experiencing significant success as they had just released their third studio album, “Keep It Up,” in 1983, which included hits like "Hot Girls" and "Queen of the Broken Hearts." This period marked a peak in their popularity, following the success of their earlier albums, particularly "Get Lucky" (1981) and its chart-topping single "Turn Me Loose." The band's energetic performance style and catchy anthems like "Working For The Weekend" helped solidify their status on the rock scene. The Expo 86 Gala, held in Vancouver, B.C., was not only a prominent event commemorating the World Exposition but also provided a platform for the band to showcase their talent before a large audience during their prime. The flamboyant nature of their performance reflects the quintessential energy of the 1980s rock scene, contributing to Loverboy's legacy as a leading band of that era.
