I saw this tour in Savannah Georgia . They opened up for Ted Nugent and Yngwie ran the whole night . He was like Angus Young on twelve cups of coffee . Best stage presence I ever saw until Nuge came out and ran the entire night as well . Both of them were incredible .
I love how he is going balls out, that's what's rocknroll is all about. Walking the edge musically and sometimes almost falling over. And Yngwie of course is at his best here..
I can't believe how Graham manages to hit all those high notes, off key or whatever... You have to push so hard to get up there, anyone who has sung like that knows it. I have a similar singing style, but I´m nowhere near him. It´s just raw power! imagine screaming on the top of your lungs for two hours, in perfect pitch... and without your voice getting tired or your throat getting sore...
Thank God Yngwie was there to save the show. His tone is especially awesome here, and of course there is his one of a kind way of burning the fretboard
The album with this song on it was simply amazing, and I couldn't ever find a copy. I had a cheap copy on cassette that I wore out. The thing that made Alcatraz such a powerful act were Malmsteen, that singer, and the fact that they tossed a Hamond organ into the mix. The Hammond started to get eclipsed briefly in the 80's by all those boring digital synths that weren't nearly as cool as real analog synths anyway. The Hammond came back with a vengeance in the 90's with the "folk-rock" wave.
I was able to get a CD copy from Japan back then. It was $13 and I imagine plus shipping. I probably spent about $20 from the late 80’s being about $50 in today’s money. That was a lot at about age $22 back then. Were I not still living at home I would never have been able to buy it plus all the other regular CD’s. Man we wasted mo ey. Now everyone can just go online and play what they want and not spend a penny.
Yeah, Bonnet really didn't do this justice live. However, the album is STILL one of the best rock albums of the era in my opinion. Songs like General Hospital, Island in the Sun and Big Foot are staples in my MP3 player to this day!
show this malmsteen performance to any of his haters and if they still continue hating this amazing player after that then their ears must be chopped off, neat performance from the master himself, in the 80's malmsteen was untouchable, no wonder why he has influenced so many players with his fast flashing yet coherent style. I agree his a little bit sloppy nowadays but nontheless back in the days no guitarrist match yngwie's skills, perhaps the closest to match him was steve vai and yet i doubt it.

Ce légendaire chanteur a un étrange style à côté de ces collègues très métal… bizarre match! Je suis surprise de découvrir ça, mais en harmonie musicale, ça fïte ma foi. Stupéfiant!
that night he was a little off! Try to listen to the live with Steve Vai a year later and he's perfect! Bonnet is my favourite singer ever! He has an extreme bluesy style of singing! And sometimes of course his voice can be a little tired.
@kamz73 He was asked to join Alcatrazz,he opted to do that instead of joining UFO wich he was also asked to join.His goal was always to record and tour under his own name but he was in no position to do so at that time because he wasn't wellknown enough.So he didn't "take" bonnet at all,he was advised to take the place in the band and he did to further his career.And tbh he's been a guitar god ever since the steeler days,dont forget the "Yngwie is god" T-shirts..
for everyone bagging the singing jeff scott soto sings this shit way better they did a really good version of this and jet to jet on a dvd, I think it was live in tokyo
When you get the chance check out Todd Rundgren's Utopia version of HIROSHIMA on You Tube.It's not a cover of Alcatrazz's version,it's the heaviest song Utopia has ever done.
Make fun of Graham Bonnett all you want, but he has one of the best voices in hard rock. Live clips don't do him justice. You should hear him on Rainbow's Down To Earth album, or the two Alcatraz albums, No Parole From Rock N Roll and Disturbing The Peace. PS: This weekend I bought a Alcatraz promo poster for No Parole, framed, for 20 dollars!
@snakeweirdo that is bcos yngwie can't be egocemtric in that time.. bcos he was starting to play ( i mean in world stage).. but now he has more than 30 years being a leyend of neo-classical guitar.. well the point is that u read what 13guitard00d post and u will understand what i mean..(haha no words, no imagination XD)
@kytrev27 Steve Vai is miles ahead of Yngwie,Steve Vai was in Zappa's band,Zappa didn't take just anybody.He knew Steve had the talent to be with the Mothers.If you want to hear classic Vai listen to PIL'S song called "ease" off of Public Image's "ALBUM".
@AudiophileTubes Yngwie is one of the all time greatest. But to say he's unmatched in every regard is a clear overstatement lol For example: originality, we must recognize, is not Yngwies' strength.
Yes I have to agree with you on Steve Vai not only is he a master of his instrument but he is a perfectionist when it comes to his sound and technique...It is very rare to find a bad recording of his work and the ones that you do find are third generation dubs....I think what irks me the most about malmsteen is his cocky arrogance it so much takes away from the music and performance that he does ...Maybe a little humility would do him good...but hey thats just me ...Keep up the good work mate
This is not Graham's best vocal performance he's way off key here. But i don't know how far into the show he sang this song, but i suppose it's not easy to sing in the higher register like he's doing if u have to do a 90 min. or 2 hour show and hit every note perfectly.
@hedgehog1965uk i think alkatrazz wa going to be a cover band cause when graham formed the band had no songs what so ever off course yngwie came in the picture and made all the songs otherwise nobody would remember the band . yngwie rulesssssss
@pizzacrime i agree,sometimes i get the feeling Malmsteen is like "look at me i'm Yngwie F**king Malmsteen ,you lucky people.There is no doubt he is an excellent guitarist,one of the best i've ever heard.I seen him twice .He is a show off,but he doesn't have to be.He should just let his music do the talking.
@playloud1622 Yeah, sure whatever, Graham is a good songwriter masterminding the very song you're listening to...also Malmsteen tried to prevent the release of Alcatrazz albums...yeah...helped the band...whatever... Then we was replaced by Steve Vai and the band sounded better for it....yep, Yngwie rules alright...
@iopunderstealth whe u say alcatrazz who does everyone think of yngwie of couse and when u say that yngwie was replaceable whoe even listens to the albums wirh steve vai or danny johnson cheers dude bonnet rules with yngwie period
You can hear AA G A in every song if you look for it. A hundred songs have been written with The A G F progression because it so pleasing to the ear for some reason.
Chris Cockrell hahahaha you're right, same goes for the E-D-C progression, tons of tunes around it, steve harris of iron maiden have written so many masterpieces around that progression, quite thrilling.
I love Alcatrazz´s "no parole...".... Graham bonnet is a good singer in the albums,but it was eclipsed live by yngwie and his voice was not able to do the same things he did in the studio...
Yngwie is absolutely godlike here. Nobody has ever been better.
Yngwie was so damn good back then, way better than now, but he's still my favourite of all time.
Yngwie had very emotional tone in his early time.

Malmsteen is unmatched in every regard! Amazing!
What an amazing tone he had back then! So much better than his current tone IMO.
Yngwie is fantastic what energy pumping out that fender
Definitely in my top five favorite albums from 1980-1984. # of the Beast, Ride the Lightning, Holy Diver, and Blizzard of OZ
correct.
I have seen this chap recently and he can still sing brilliant
Amazing!
Young Yngwie, he had made all of his style at this time.
This is a really powerful song.
great guitar and great vocal!
I'm from Hiroshima in Japan
Thank God Yngwie was there to save the show. His tone is especially awesome here, and of course there is his one of a kind way of burning the fretboard
Don't forget the out of tune part!

¡Excelente banda metalera de los 80's!
Excellent heavy metal band from the 80's!
great performance
estos si son dioses pero de verdad daria mi vida entera por haberlos visto en vivo !
Yeah, Bonnet really didn't do this justice live. However, the album is STILL one of the best rock albums of the era in my opinion. Songs like General Hospital, Island in the Sun and Big Foot are staples in my MP3 player to this day!

great song!!!!!
I don't care how he looks as long as he sounds this good
Ridiclously high key to set a vocal in!
@AttilaThe1 Yes that is Graham Bonnet on vocals. After Rainbow and MSG, he formed Alcatrazz in 1983.
1:48 greatest guitar move in history!
mató el coro que hizo con la palanca en el 1:22 . Very good!!! =P
that night he was a little off! Try to listen to the live with Steve Vai a year later and he's perfect! Bonnet is my favourite singer ever! He has an extreme bluesy style of singing! And sometimes of course
his voice can be a little tired.
@kamz73
He was asked to join Alcatrazz,he opted to do that instead of joining UFO wich he was also asked to join.His goal was always to record and tour under his own name but he was in no position to do so at that time because he wasn't wellknown enough.So he didn't "take" bonnet at all,he was advised to take the place in the band and he did to further his career.And tbh he's been a guitar god ever since the steeler days,dont forget the "Yngwie is god" T-shirts..
graham,one of my fav. singers.make fun all you guys want, but were you on stage all those years, and to play with yngwie, w.t.f.
fantastic...!!
Go Gramm!!! best i ever heard ya! usually a little pitchy, but nailed it here!
girl, you really got me now.
One of the most fastest cleanest...pronounce scaler to ever execute on a electrified six string..........MALMSTEEN
What was that you said?was that English?
YNGWIE was the only one keeping this together.
Alcatraz kicked ass in hawaii in the 80s, witness the complete power of yngwie and Graham in all its glory.
Where did they play?
@dominysynclair University of Hawaii campus ballroom to about a crowd of 500. Yngwie just started with Alcarrazz after Steeler and he was badass🤘
@@Stixin3nya That's awesome. Hey question: What was the traffic on Oahu like in the early 80s compared to now? Better, worse?
@@dominysynclair Univ of hawaii ballroom it rocked
@dominysynclair Hawaii in the 80s had Zero traffic compared to the morning and after work traffic they got now.
Amen brother!
great introduction
best live
at 0:37 it's like "wtf, is there a board meeting at this gig?" ha ha ha haa Soto was a killer frontman though, dude had some serious pipes.
il miglior vibrato di sempre yngwie malmsteen
I respect that guy, even though it`s more craft than art.
Yngwie didn't have the saturated sound back then like he does today. He was a better player too!
@umakara55 it was the 80s hehe love yngwie
これが名曲でなくて何を名曲という！
명곡은 맞음 미국은 일본에 이렇게라도 사과를 했음 그런데 일본은 조선에 사과하는척 만했다. 욱일승천기 가 바로 그 증거.
This is still Yngwie that at his best!
Classic!
amaizinggg
That's the point brother! Hraham is the best! Listen to Power Live with Vai to hear a perfect vocal performance by Graham!
for everyone bagging the singing jeff scott soto sings this shit way better they did a really good version of this and jet to jet on a dvd, I think it was live in tokyo
graham is legend
When you get the chance check out Todd Rundgren's Utopia version of HIROSHIMA on You Tube.It's not a cover of Alcatrazz's version,it's the heaviest song Utopia has ever done.
@Sunedosa He should have went with UFO,but it wouldn't be easy to replace Michael Shenker.
WOW I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THESE DUDES!!!!
Grahams voice here is the best
viejos tiempos. tenia entonces 17 años y ahora 42...snif...snif..., parece ayer.....
i would like to have this nervous umbelievable right hand

If you think you can sing better than this guy then by all means post a video.
to be fair ....graham is awesome (my fav ) but this is clearly too high for him live
@@TheMichaelseymour maybe now that he's 80 yrs old! He's got this handled at this show ! He's the shit at his age .
@snakeweirdo that is bcos yngwie can't be egocemtric in that time.. bcos he was starting to play ( i mean in world stage).. but now he has more than 30 years being a leyend of neo-classical guitar.. well the point is that u read what 13guitard00d post and u will understand what i mean..(haha no words, no imagination XD)

0:30 Sounds like Van Halen - You really got me
彼って結構るけぶしなんだよ、全く！
Cantaba Bien SiLvio Soldan... Jajajaja.... estan Re Buenos Esos Temas :D
Me mata la pinta de graham bonnet espectacular !
@AudiophileTubes Yngwie is one of the all time greatest. But to say he's unmatched in every regard is a clear overstatement lol For example: originality, we must recognize, is not Yngwies' strength.
o yeahhh
個人的にやはりグラハムさんはショートカットのほうが合っているロックンロール系の人だから
ファンシンが学生時代に弾いていた曲です！

One of these things is not like the other.....
you speak for us brother
Haha dropped his pick at 0:58 seconds
god
Graham Bonnet rules,its as simple as that.
Am i the only one who realizes the cords and rythem are almost the same as you really got by van halen?
This is not Graham's best vocal performance he's way off key here. But i don't know how far into the show he sang this song, but i suppose it's not easy to sing in the higher register like he's doing if u have to do a 90 min. or 2 hour show and hit every note perfectly.
@johnstonebreaker I thought that was it !!
@hedgehog1965uk i think alkatrazz wa going to be a cover band cause when graham formed the band had no songs what so ever off course yngwie came in the picture and made all the songs otherwise nobody would remember the band .
yngwie rulesssssss
@playloud1622
bonnet had nothing to do with the music he only did the lirics my friend
@pizzacrime i agree,sometimes i get the feeling Malmsteen is like "look at me i'm Yngwie F**king Malmsteen ,you lucky people.There is no doubt he is an excellent guitarist,one of the best i've ever heard.I seen him twice .He is a show off,but he doesn't have to be.He should just let his music do the talking.
@yayamacha jajajaja es igual,es graham bonnet
@playloud1622 Yeah, sure whatever, Graham is a good songwriter masterminding the very song you're listening to...also Malmsteen tried to prevent the release of Alcatrazz albums...yeah...helped the band...whatever...
Then we was replaced by Steve Vai and the band sounded better for it....yep, Yngwie rules alright...
are they preforming hiroshima in japan :O
cuz that would be pretty messed up
When did Ritchie Blackmore start playing for the Talking Heads?
yeah one string on a Hurdy gurdy
@iopunderstealth whe u say alcatrazz who does everyone think of yngwie of couse
and when u say that yngwie was replaceable whoe even listens to the albums wirh steve vai or danny johnson cheers dude bonnet rules with yngwie period
@teaandbiscuits300 why?
Is that Graham Bonnett on vocals?
Yngwie was a child prodigy first off he really didn't think out what he was doing he's very influenced by the Johnson brothers and Stradivarius
0:11 - 0:16 !
Is there a secret to playing that ! Can some one please tell me !
how can you say yngwie has no feeling after watching that intro
@elchafa i think yngwie just doesnt like 'change' :P
That still leaves the fact that he sung really bad in Alcatraz. There isn't a single song on "no parole" that he didn't mess up.
the strings on chuck norris guitar have scared to break off
chuck norris plays telephatically without even touch the strings
Does anybody else hear "You Really Got Me" in this?
You can hear AA G A in every song if you look for it. A hundred songs have been written with The A G F progression because it so pleasing to the ear for some reason.
Heard that too!
Chris Cockrell hahahaha you're right, same goes for the E-D-C progression, tons of tunes around it, steve harris of iron maiden have written so many masterpieces around that progression, quite thrilling.
"you really got me with a nuke "
I love Alcatrazz´s "no parole..."....
