Nothing beats a classic concert. Over the past couple of years, the folks over at Rockpalast have released some vintage footage, of some of the great heavy metal/hard rock bands of our time. Rockpalast was the German version of American Bandstand, but with some major balls. The latest show to be released from the vaults, thanks to MVD Visual, is a vintage show from the Michael Schenker Group. This show was filmed in 1981 and predominantly features the band's first album. It is a killer show which showcases MSG in their infancy. Nothing beats these classic shows. It is just ashame that the lineup that recorded their debut is not featured on this recording, but that being said, this is still a killer show.
The footage is from TV and looks really good. Remember this was filmed in the early 80's, so it is not perfect, but for what it is, it is amazing. The sound is clear as well as the video. The best thing about this DVD is seeing Schenker in his prime. Pretty cool seeing the band play Lost Horizon live (One of my personal faves). The set list goes presents the first album for the most part in chronilogical order. The end of the show features some classic UFO songs that Schenker penned. A killer DVD which takes you back to the day. Schenker and Co., firing on all cylinders and delivering the goods live. This DVD is essentail for any rockers collection.
-Bottom Line: MSG in their prime, it doesn't get much better than that.
-Ragman thinks this is the best MSG DVD he has ever seen.
