The World Tour

In late 1993, Luke Melvin and Luke's Band embarked on The World Tour, spanning into 1994 and including almost the whole globe in 38 concerts. Though it sort of coincided with the Secret Gigs album, according to Melvin it was to again "please the people of the globe". The tour was eventually documented in the live album Luke and The World Tour.

History
Following his Secret Gigs tour from early 1993, Luke Melvin felt he wanted to embark on another world tour, having enjoyed it so much the last time. He went almost across the whole globe, with the first leg in Europe, then into Asia, into Oceania, into Africa, into South America, into North America and then finishing off in Europe. The shows were well-received and it was a successful world tour. Most of the shows he performed were in places he had never played before. The only break he took was for Christmas 1993 when he left Cape Town on late 23 December and returned to Liverpool, England to be with his family. He returned back to the tour on 1 January 1994, playing a concert in Rio de Janeiro.
