Format:Audio CD
Bought this re-master and stuck it in iTunes straight away. It's so new that CDDB didn't even recognize the tracks. Really annoying having to type in all the info! Nice remix though, not much different, real clarity in the guitar sound. I had in fact forgotten just how good this is. Schenker was such a perfectionist I can't remember a bum note. Even live the speed, melody and structure of his soloing should be a lesson for all guitar players.
For those of us old enough to remember it takes you back to 1981. I remember being in the front row of the tour gigs slagging off the support band (Starfighters I think), head bangin' away to the solo intro on "Attack of the Mad Axeman" and watching all starry eyed in wonderment as my idol played "Courvoisier Concerto". God I wish I could play like that!
Reasons to buy another copy then. Not much extra in terms of an inducement to persuade you to fork out for this one. Nice artwork and reading material yet again. There are 2 extra tracks to complete the original set line up. "Tales of Mystery" has been inserted and whilst good has nothing like the pure emotional feel of the guitar playing and vocal on the original recorded version. I don't know where they snatched this from as the sound is not the same quality. Then comes the "Cozy Powell Drum Solo". This was a good showpiece live with a twist of "633 Squadron" and "Over The Top" (RIP Cozy). Well that's 11 minutes of my life I'll never get back! He was a real powerhouse drummer but recording a drum solos does nothing for me at all. They're OK when you're there at the gig with the pyrotechnics, atmosphere, etc but it just doesn't transfer to play back.
In summary, well you just wouldn't believe it was live the playing is so good. The band were a really tight and well-rehearsed outfit performing at their peak. The music is dominated by but not spoiled by lead guitar but then that was Schenker's writing talent. There was only two albums of songs to draw from so plenty of room to spread out and indulge. Whilst "Strangers in the Night" is still my favorite live album, in terms of virtuoso guitar playing, this could well be it's equal. "Cry For The Nations", "On and On", "Courvoisier Concerto" and "Lost Horizons" are magic. If you are a guitar player and a fan of heavy guitar based rock and roll then you need to buy this one to see how it was done. Definite five stars.

God i've waited for this day for so long,rock bands live and die by their ability on stage and live albums became a badge of honour,this band were no different.Whilst the 2 studio albums were excellent and well worth buying - this is the dogs bollocks!!!!. Essentially the cream of the 2 studio albums this rocks from start too finish mr schenker on fire from the opening chords of armed and ready to encore ready to rock,this is a man at the top of his game and it could be argued his playing tops even that of ufo's strangers in the night.Every song is toughened up by the live sound and cozy powells' drums are a revelation thundering out of the speakers,this is probably the only disc of the remasters where the sound has noticeably improved.If i have to quibble disc one is only about 35 mins long and is over before it starts surely we could have had 45 mins a disc?,still it seems churlish to complain when music is this good,lost horizons preceded with courvoiser concerto is simply mind blowing(damn i promised myself not to say that) all the classics benefit from cozy/glenns rock solid rythmn section with raymonds keys adding the occasional flourish,if tracks like armed n ready/'mad axeman/sleeping dogs etc dont have you grinning from ear to ear there is no hope - your dead already,the bonus track tales of mystery is a decent addition and cozy's drum solo confirms why he was a top drummer in his day,this disc cannot be recommended too much its always belonged up there with the kiss alive's/strangers'/unleashed in the east etc and now has a release to be proud of,honestly this will never be off your hifi and your speakers will never be the same again.

Having bought the original release I was surprised to see this remastered but found no good reason not to buy it. The sound has improved as other reviewers have said & the mix is in my opinion slightly better then the original release, having listened to both back to back. Gary Barden was never the best vocalist of the 1980s & the remaster does nothing to improve already dodgy vocals.
As a huge fan of Cozy Powell whom I will always cite as one of my influences to take up playing the drums, I am sorry to say that his solo left me a bit cold to be honest which is one of the reasons why I say this album is mainly one for Schenker collectors. The only other extra track Tales Of Mystery could have been left off as it is hardly an ear/earth shattering song.
The original was & still is a good live album which gave a good indication of MSG as it was back in the day. Sadly after this album things seemed to slip downhill but Michael has had a bit of a renaissance in the past few years so hopefully a welcome return to form is on the cards.
Buy this to hear some of the best musicians 80s rock had to offer plying their welcome trade. Almost gave it five stars but four is about right.
