Thanks Mega. Fun show!!

What MS music do you have been exposed to? maybe I can point you to some jewels that you may not know. He is very inspirational. (playing wise.... lifestyle not so much :no: )
 
Awesome pics. Michael looks in good shape and like he is having fun. Good to see!

Just a guess as he said it was mostly the 40 and over crowd. He's fallen off the radar in the last 15 years even though he has been putting out material. He was fairly popular in the '80s, which is probably why the crowd was 40ish.

Cool pics. I see a JCM 800 and what is the other one?

Scorpions - Lovedrive
UFO - Essential UFO
UFO - Lights Out
UFO - Phenomenon
UFO - Strangers In The Night
UFO - Walk On Water
UFO - You Are Here
MSG - Essential MSG
MSG - Be Aware Of Scorpions
MSG - Heavy Hitters
Solo - Thank You
Solo - Thank You 2

The song Assault Attack is amazing, I definitely want to hear the whole album. Do you have any of those albums by chance?

Another JCM 800 - random 2 channel model. He played that the entire evening, the vertical input one was never plugged in.

He is a longtime user of the JCM800 2205, though he sold his favourite one to John Norum of Europe..

From what I heard, she pawned to get her and her son back to Thailand because hes a friggin nutjob and that I believe...
 
Also try to find UFO-Obsession.
And the Uli Roth/Michael Schenker-Live at Donnigton is probably something you'd dig.

Absolutely, I missed that he didnt have Obsession and thats a Must Have IMO... I do believe that he missed Force It as well....
 
I can't seem to find these albums anywhere, except Built To Destroy. :(

He missed some other stuff but I didn't think he would dig as much, No Heavy petting comes to mind. As well as the Scorpions Love Drive for the 3 tunes Schenker played on.
 
For the NY/LI area Mulcahys Thursday July 19th. This is a no brainer for me.

Holy Shit!!!
He's sporting my hairdoo!! :D
 
MS might be the best guitarist I ever saw live; saw him at Medina Ballroom in Minnesota and I was seriously sick but he absolutely killed Great Tone and emotional great vibrato.......That was like ten years ago now that I think about it......damn time flies....


I have all of those old MSG UFO albums on vinyl------They Rock

I also just got a DVD a few months back of MSG from 81 in Hamburg with Gary Barden and Cozy Powell its pretty good stuff.
