From a Distance: The Event is a live album by Cliff Richard, released in 1990 by EMI. The album was recorded in June 1989 at Richard's "The Event" concert, held at Wembley Stadium in London. The album peaked at number 3 in the UK albums chart and was certified double-platinum in the UK. Three singles were released from the album; "Silhouettes" (UK #10), "From a Distance" (UK #11) and "Saviour's Day", which was the 1990 UK Christmas number one.
The album comprises two sets from the concert plus two new studio tracks. The first set is a tribute to Jack Good's 1950s Oh Boy! TV series, the all-music show which had kick-started Richard's career in 1958; it comprises rock 'n' roll era tracks from the TV series featuring original artists of the show The Dallas Boys and The Vernons Girls, plus guests The Kalin Twins.
The second set comprises cuts of old and new songs from Richard's main show, including the singles "Silhouettes" and "From a Distance", plus two from his set with The Shadows and one from the Aswad set. Also from the second set, the live recording of "We Don't Talk Anymore", a UK number 1 single for Richard in 1979, was remixed with a contemporary dance beat for the album; a further 7" remix was made for single release in some markets outside the UK (including Germany and Australia).
