By Mr Blackwell TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
Essentially a celebration of MSG's 30 year history,that the majority of its tracks come from his first 2 albums,tells its own story,still those are his best tracks and its nice to have several from his last studio disc plus one from the Gypsy Lady project,of course there are the perennial UFO staples of 'Rock Bottom'/'Doctor Doctor'

Thanks to a poor audio mix,this release is equally frustrating as it is entertaining,Simon Phillips & Neil Murray are top class musicians but here they are relegated into the background via a audio mix that nueters their sound,either that or they both turned in average,workmanlike performances on the night. In regards to Wayne Findlay(who he?) for the most part you would be forgiven for forgetting he's there given the barely audible/understated keyboard parts,only the occasional background vocal(way in the background!) to let you know he's still alive.Gary Barden was never the greatest vocalist in the heavy rock arena but he does a passable job here(but blots his copybook with some poor attempts at communication with the audience and on several occasions allowing the fans to sing instead of him,frankly ruining a couple of tracks,especially 'Doctor' Doctor' and 'Dance Lady Gypsy' where the audience clearly dont know the words.

BUT and its a massive but,when Schenker peels off those solo's you cant help but smile,a frustrated smile yes ,that yet again a man as talented as ANY guitar hero from that generation has released a sub standard product that doesnt fully represent what he's capabable of,and yet those solo's from the opening 'Welcome Howl' thru to 'Rock Bottom' the man pulls out every solo in the book,that sound ,the tone perfect,the only thing the audio mix gets right.

All in all,tread carefully with this one,there are moments of exceptional guitar playing,all the classics are here,just dont expect 'Strangers In The Night'/'One Night At Budokan' levels of excitement.

BUY THE DVD 22 Oct 2010
Format:Audio CD
Amazon only seem to be selling the Blue Ray version of this concert [along with the audio] i've just got the regular D.V.D, i don't have 5:1 surround sound just stereo through 4 speakers which gives the impression of surround. The default setting of L.P.C.M stereo is in my opinion pretty good, you don't have to crank your amp up to much for it to fill the room and the bass and drums are well to the fore, giving some of the tracks especially those from the first album what they didn't have first time round, some serious bottom end [funny as the first album was produced by a bass player]and that coupled with Schenkers guitar which is well up in the mix, more than compensate for Wayne Findlays guitar being less audible, it just highlights the fact that he could quite easily manage without a second guitar player.
The biggest mistake he's made in my opinion is releasing the audio only version, as a D.V.D it works quite well, the visuals definitely enhance the overall experience. The band look like they are enjoying themselves as do the crowd and the fact that Gary Bardens' voice doesn't always cut it, doesn't impact on the overall enjoyment; you just get sucked in to the good time everyone is having. Of course, you get the extras, which follows the band through pre-tour rehearsals and some personal reflections right through to show time. Ideally there should have been a career defining documentary added to this DVD considering it is marking a significant landmark. However, the audio option does seem rather pointless as Schenker has released a multitude of 'audio only live' material over the years covering similar ground and as such, that dilutes significantly the impact of this CD. It might not be his best-ever live CD but up to this point, it's definitely his best live DVD.

It's not bad! 16 Oct 2010
Format:Audio CD
To the first two reviewers - don't be so harsh! And to other readers, don't be put off! Admittedly Gary's voice isn't what it was, and the mix is not ideal, but overall this is an enjoyable CD and a great testament to Schenker's return. As you would expect, the guitar playing is exceptional!
