what makes Michael Schenker so unique is his phrasing on the chords he emphasizes certain notes and then he throws in a crunchy rhythm then he blazes on a shredding lead. He is all over the place on the guitar yet he maintains a smooth fluid sound that's very precise. As far as I am concerned he is in a class by himself and really doesn't have anyone who can compare to his unique style of guitar playing.
Ich habe dieses Konzert 1981 gesehen und fand es gut. Michael Schenker, war eine Band der 80er Jahre und eine der großen Hartrock Bands. Ihr Sound und Stil, zeichnet sich dadurch aus, aus abwechslungsreichem melodischem Hartrock Stil, der 80er Jahre, der vom Synthesiser und Keyboard geprägt und bestimmt war. Diese Band, war und ist eine Mischung aus UFO und Scorpions, die von Schenker, aber auch von musikalischen eigenen individuellen Komposition, entscheident mitgeprägt wurde. Ihr abwechslungsreicher melodischer Hartrock, mit harten Gitarreneinlagen, ist genau das richtige für Fans, dieses Musikstils. Nicht zu hart und nicht zu melodisch. Genau ausgeglichen. Auch bei Schenker, spielten einige bekannte Musiker, die vorher, bei großen Bands spielten. Cozy Powel, Gram Bonet, Doogie White, aus der jüngeren ehemaligen Besetzung von Rainbow, von 1995 bis 1997. Und Paul Raimond, von UFO. Vor 5 Jahren, produzierte, Schenker, ein Album, wo all diese ehemaligen Musiker wieder zusammen kammen, außer Cozy Powel, der leider viel zu früh, bei einem Autounfall 1998,ums Leben kam. Diese Band, gibt es immer noch und Sie hat Ihren musikalischen Charakter und Sound und Stil bewahrt und behalten.
Takes me back to being a spotty 13 year old...So in love with the music I had discovered. Now 54...and this music still beats in my heart. No spots now...thankfully. 👍
I'm 58 and discovered him through his first solo album when I was around 16-17and then bought every album Schenker was on. He still is the biggest influence on me.
@SabuPtolemy Yep totally over rated just like Ginger Baker , loads better drummers about at that time like Bill Ward , Ian Paice , Brian Downey , Neil Peart ........
55 here dude and exactly the same these years were incredible ...and these musicians here were just , for me, the best band he ever had as the MSG band
@@siegmarlange5470 yeah so happy being born these middle 60s cause we did and seen so many crazy things people wouldnt be able to believe or understand SO FAR ! Take care brother
I've been a Shenker fan since the UFO DAYS and COZY POWELL is one of my biggest influence as a drummer! what makes Michael so fuckin great and unique is his sense of melody! In my humble drum bashing opinion 😁✌️
MSG at their best! Their first 2 albums with Gary Barden singing were absolute classic. Cozy Powell and his powerhouse drumming, and the great Michael Schenker, what a line up!!! A very overlooked band by rock radio. I love them!
Should've been huge … the personal in this band are incredible, should've been a huge success - I mean - they did well, but didn't get anywhere near as huge as you'd expect.
The playing was decent, particularly from Michael, but the songs are awful. I was never that impressed with Barden either to be honest, he sounds a bit bar band at times.
@@donharrold1375 so you are a WHAM fan?? Schenker plays a flying V like nobody else....and Barden's voice is what all rock bands want for a front man.....
Wow Cozy was one of the greatest drummers of that era, him and Schenker were a force of nature. Im so thankful I grew up to hard rock in its golden era
Finally saw Schenker for the first time last year. After listening to him for years. It just doesn't compare to seeing him live. Truly a master. Amazing!!!
Awesome stuff. One of the tightest bands in the early 80s. Easy to forget just how good Michael Schenker was (and is). Sadly not all these guys are with us anymore.
Michael has one of the sweetest guitar tones...that midrange tone with the help of a wah-pedal set to a single spot about halfway through ''locked and cocked'' lol and of course the Gibson Flying V and Marshal amp just made Rock N' Roll magic together in the 80's. About to turn 65 years old and still Rockin' the fuck out! God bless ...
@@badmonkey2222 Didn't forget anything. MS core sound came from a Gibson Flying V, a Marshall amp along with a simple delay, chorus and wah-wah pedal. That’s it. Now uses Dean custom guitars.
@@sunlion8866i know what his core sound came from is petty much what you said but you left out a very big part. I'm a professional guitarist been playing over 30 years I've met Michael and I actually held that Gibson V THE V the white one he showed me how he repaired the headstock multiple times with drumsticks but it was so good you could hardly tell, held It in my hands in 1991, but and you're right he used all that, and he did not use a simple delay, its called an Echoplex, its a tape delay they don't make them anymore and there hard to get parts for but he still uses it to this day, that's one of the keys to his sound. George Lynch and Eric Johnson use it also.
@@badmonkey2222 Will go with what Micheal says in his interviews. That's been his main guitar set-up for years. Going all the way back to the early eighties. Look it up.
@@sunlion8866 did fucking look it up I've talked to him my selfl and he says in just about every interview that he uses an Echoplex dumbass you can look it up ... And you can now stop talking to me because you do not know what you're talking about. And he's use the Echoplex since the 70s not the 80s and he still uses it today you look it up I don't have to i know what the fuck I'm talking about. I told that you had pretty much his whole setup correct and he does use a couple of types of boss delay pedals but that echoplex is his secret weapon, just believe what you want to believe.
I seriously don’t know what I did on Jan 24 1981 - I was in Hamburg, but I wasn’t at this amazing concert... WHY ? ? ? ? I should ask my teenage self.... :-) Big Miss !!
This concert took place in Hamburg after they had toured America and opened for Molly Hatchet. The band is tight, Barden's voice is at it's peak, and Schenker at his best. This is one of MSG's and Schenker's best performances. An absolute must-see.
The classic line-up. This is what I think of when I think of MSG. Had the pleasure of seeing them twice in this era. One of those was standing room only general admission in San Antonio, Tx. I was second row and we were packed in like sardines. Schenker played every single lead note for note just like the albums. It was beyond belief. I was floored forever. One of the greatest musical experiences I've ever had.
GodsTruthMinistries - Schenker never plays a solo exactly the same. The main melodies are the same, but he has stated over his entire career that he makes most of it up on the fly, otherwise he’d die of boredom. I’ve seen him three nights in a row a few times and it’s his improvisational skills that make him such an exciting player on stage.
that's sad..UFO was my favorite metal / hard rock band in the 70's and 80's. I got to see them several times and actually work very closely with them for an entire day on a professional level. It was an unforgettable day of my life in a theatre in Wheeling West Virginia.
ruclips.net/video/P_RX-VlmPnQ/видео.html Honestly when Paul Raymond came in the band. And they recorded lights out, and obsession. The band was in a completely different mindset, as well as the production which was done extremely well. I feel including the live album strangers in the night. Were some of their best albums hands-down. It’s a shame that Michael Shanker and Phil Moog!! Had such a falling out over a fight. Can you imagine if that never happened, and they went on to record the next album with that lineup? Tremendously Awesome
We were spoilt back then all this talent fresh new authentic energy of schenker Powell Raymond glen and barden music now just don't do it for me give me these guys everytime....
One thing about RUclips giving you the chance to see so many amazing musicians playing live is...well, it lets you see them playing live, and I'm always amazed at how *effortless* Cozy Powell's playing was. He's always murdering his drum kit and making this big noise and he's just doing it effortlessly. In my personal lists of drummers, the only one who managed the same thing better was John Bonham.
OMG this video kicks ass! The band is amazing and the filming and sound for that era are great. The camera crew understands how to film a rock band and superstar guitarist. Cozy rules.
Бокал с золотинками ..Она, как бокал с золотистой водой, что пенно играет, сияет игристо на свадебном празднике, в дате святой, а в нём пузырьки - это мысли-монисты. Украшен хрусталь этот строчкой к стиху, цепочками, кольцами жёлтых металлов. На нём есть две крошки берилла вверху, кофейные вкрапинки россыпью малой. А с ближнего края малиновый кант, а сзади винтаж - шоколадная пенка, как зонтик коктейльный, узорчатый бант. Он сам родникового цвета, оттенка. Такой мастера уж не смогут отлить. Один, единичный меж кружек, фужеров. Его очень хочется взять и испить, и этим гордиться средь леди и сэров!
Just stumbled across this and damn what a find. Seventies and Eighties had the best music and musicianship. No auto tune or protools or computerized shit, a guy plugged into some Marshall’s kicking ass.
Saw this line up Birmingham odeon in 81 or 82 . I was front row and managed to shake hands with both Gary and Chris that night. Michael seemed a bit out of it that night but still a great gig. Classic line up. Great memories. 🤘🎸
This is a phenomenal performance. So glad I caught it. Surprised Rockplast hasn't released it on dvd. Maybe they have. It's great and what an amazing lineup. Schenker is one of the greatest guitarists ever.
Thanks a lot for sharing this early footage of one of the greatest guitar players of the 70's and 80's, when he was in his absolute prime, after releasing the seminal debut album!
My best friend gave me the audio tape of this way back in the day, awesome to finally see the video of it.....Schenker and his friends , ALL of them at their BEST!

I remember buying this MSG album when it came out and lovin' it , and it's still cool.with Gary Barden vocals,Simon Philips drums,Mo Foster bass,Don Airey keyboard, & Micheal Schenker guitar on the album , what a great lineup.then had Cozy,& Paul live on drums,& bass respectivly. And the 2nd album Assult Attack was also fantastic , with Graham Bonnet's great vocals, & fantastic drummer Ted McKenna, Chris Glenn bass, Tommy Eyre keyboard ,& of course Schenker on guitar, to me these two albums rank up with the best music of that early 80's hard rock-metal era ,along with JudasPreist, Rainbow, Scorpions, IronMaiden, BlackSabbath, & all the others that made REAL music (not noise) with heavy riffs and great melodies. I feel sorry for kids now,all they have to listen to is repititious lame Hip Hop ,and boring Pop with no feeling. it's a lot of over hyped,pre procsessed,,assembly line,weak crap not played by real musicians (only a bunch of button pressers & DJ's...good lord !) as people get dumber so does the arts. So i say let's salute the real artists & keep rockin' to this killer music forever!!! Sincerely Bob Gourley
Anybody else get the feeling that Schenker was just pleased to be out of UFO, and playing these innovative creations, and just loving every minute of it?
@@michaelblythe6525 That's because he realized Rudolph had been using him for decades .. If Michael was really that bad .. he wouldn't still be friends with Gary Barden , and Chris Glenn , from this lineup . 30 plus years later
Recently I read an article where Michael Schenker was saying that when he had joined Scorpions for The Lonesome Crow album he had saved the band from extinction because they had no lead guitar player and he stayed until Ulrich Roth aka Uli Jon Roth joined. When he joined UFO they weren't going anywhere and again he saved another band and they became one of the biggest bands in the world until he left them. Judas Priest soon after that asked him if he would consider joining them. He turned the offer down. He didn't want to be a member of somebody else's band one more time. His goal was to have a band of his own with his name, hence MSG
I saw MSG in Philly in '81(?), they were the opening act for Molly Hatchett. Two great things about that show: 1) Danny Joe Brown was back as MH's lead singer. 2) I discovered MSG. Been a fan ever since.
No hate to Molly Hatchet, but how in the hell do you watch MSG in it’s prime ( not knowing at that time) and follow this performance up ? You can’t. MH I seen a couple times and they are good but not MSG or Michael Schenker good. They had to play 10 times better which I doubt they did. I can only imagine them watch from backstage and thinking “Fuck!!”
Saw MSG on the North American leg of this tour. In Vancouver at the UBC Sub Ballroom. Local punk band DOA opened for them. They got booed off the stage by 500 aspiring guitar players who where there to see the MASTER! Amazing show!
what makes Michael Schenker so unique is his phrasing on the chords he emphasizes certain notes and then he throws in a crunchy rhythm then he blazes on a shredding lead. He is all over the place on the guitar yet he maintains a smooth fluid sound that's very precise. As far as I am concerned he is in a class by himself and really doesn't have anyone who can compare to his unique style of guitar playing.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. Phenomenal axeman!
The mad axeman!!!
SUPERBLY SAID MATE
I can´t say ....... when I was a teenager I bought the LP "UFO - strangers in the night ........" nothing more to say about his style ....
The BEST 💥

Yeah same. No spots but piles and a fat gut 😀
RIP Cozy and Paul Raymond. What a band!!!
The magic combination - Michael Schenker and Cozy Powell. What a sound.
jeddak yes. Love Cozy
And Gary. He's in top form here too!
COZY WAS A BAD ASS
Magical combinations: Cozy with Jeff Beck and Ritchie Blackmore
@SabuPtolemy Yep totally over rated just like Ginger Baker , loads better drummers about at that time like Bill Ward , Ian Paice , Brian Downey , Neil Peart ........
I am almost fifty-eight years old and I have been listening to Michael Schenker since I was about 18 years old and I do not get tired of this music
Ditto, ditto and ditto.

55 here dude and exactly the same these years were incredible ...and these musicians here were just , for me, the best band

Not only music has changed for worse since then. Being 58 as well, I was able to see many of the best groups live.
@@siegmarlange5470 yeah so happy being born these middle 60s cause we did and seen so many crazy things people wouldnt be able to believe or understand SO FAR !

Rip Cozy Powell [I'm a fan], Mr. Paul Martin Raymond [UFO, MSG] and the voice of Gary Barden in the band, incredible show! [Rodolfo Doddy - DRUMMER]

They just played zztop and wham, mike Jackson, GO GOS, dURAN DURAN? every day, radio sucked in N.Y back then, I just could not understand.
The playing was decent, particularly from Michael, but the songs are awful. I was never that impressed with Barden either to be honest, he sounds a bit bar band at times.

Paul Raymond. the guy does it all. ⚡️🤘❤️
37:26 lmao YES!🙌
Paul Raymond must have been the most underrated band member of any band
Too little appreciation/love for this guy
Played lefty without inverting the strings. Very noteworthy
@@robertwhitcomb6105 Really?
Is that a hammond organ he s
playig too. It s the biz.!
I didn't realize til recently that Cozy Powell played drums in so many different bands. Very versatile drummer for sure. 👍
Those first four MSG albums had some insane guitar playing. Long Live Michael Schenker.
that first MSG album is the best! I was in 11th grade when it came out and was hooked ever since.
🎸🙋♀️💖Michael is still my fav guitarist! Great concert. Thx for posting.
Great show. Easily MSG’s best lineup featuring Cozy Powell, Michael Schenker, Paul Raymond, Chris Glen and Gary Barden🤘😎

i cant believe it was 40 years ago, time fly so fast OMG
It's almost unbelievable Schenker never used his pinkie on his right hand and still was able to be play those runs at lightening speed.
RIP Paul Raymond who died yesterday
that's sad..UFO was my favorite metal / hard rock band in the 70's and 80's. I got to see them several times and actually work very closely with them for an entire day on a professional level. It was an unforgettable day of my life in a theatre in Wheeling West Virginia.

Always thought of these guys as a

Yes they were 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
They were, but Michael and Simon were even better.

Бокал с золотинками
..Она, как бокал с золотистой водой,

а в нём пузырьки - это мысли-монисты.
Украшен хрусталь этот строчкой к стиху,
цепочками, кольцами жёлтых металлов.
На нём есть две крошки берилла вверху,
кофейные вкрапинки россыпью малой.
А с ближнего края малиновый кант,
а сзади винтаж - шоколадная пенка,
как зонтик коктейльный, узорчатый бант.
Он сам родникового цвета, оттенка.
Такой мастера уж не смогут отлить.
Один, единичный меж кружек, фужеров.
Его очень хочется взять и испить,
и этим гордиться средь леди и сэров!
This gig fu**in' kicks ass - MSG really at it's best. Michael truly was and of course still is one of the world's most talented guitar heroes.
I was there. During “Rock Bottom” I even see myself for a second in the video. That was an amazing concert
Gary‘s great too!
The whole Band on their highs, great performance!
RIP Cozy. The most powerful and unique hard rock drummer!
Cozy has to be one of the most underrated drummers ever! As Robert said, a "powerhouse", but also so precise with incredible cymbal work.
RIP Cozy Powell.
Just stumbled across this and damn what a find. Seventies and Eighties had the best music and musicianship. No auto tune or protools or computerized shit, a guy plugged into some Marshall’s kicking ass.
Gary's voice is great, for Gary. Can't hold a candle to Phil's.
I still remember listening to the first schenker album thinking what a killer sound and cry for the nations is timeless!
the outro solo in that song is still one of my all time favorites.

Hey, I was at that gig, loved it. I think it wasn't too long after John Bonham died, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it was around that time.
This is a phenomenal performance. So glad I caught it. Surprised Rockplast hasn't released it on dvd. Maybe they have. It's great and what an amazing lineup. Schenker is one of the greatest guitarists ever.
The classic MSG line up. It doesn't get any better than this.
Bob Nixon I wish Gary Barden sang on Assault Attack.
Michael Schenker the god of Guitar Rock!!!!!!! EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!
Tight, tight, tight! Gary’s even hitting the high notes!! 🤘🏻
Thanks for sharing.,
Gary Barden fantastic
A perfectionist in action. One of the very best.
Michael Schenker Group war absolute Spitzenklasse !!!
Mega Qualität Besetzung

Schenker is still magnificent ✌
Thanks a lot for sharing this early footage of one of the greatest guitar players of the 70's and 80's, when he was in his absolute prime, after releasing the seminal debut album!
I saw them on this tour at the Edinburgh Odeon, I was right down near the stage. Schenker was an incredible rock guitarist.
Is an incredible guitarist!!!!
Now I wanna travel back in time...
Schenker Michael is..great ..🎸
very good
Sehr gute Performance von allen. Barden war schon großartig.
My best friend gave me the audio tape of this way back in the day, awesome to finally see the video of it.....Schenker and his friends , ALL of them at their BEST!
Absolutamente maravilloso... poder disfrutar de esto 40 años después, con semejante calidad de sonido y de imagen no tiene precio.
¡¡¡Tremendos!!!
Great band and great camera work
Schenker will always remain my main influence for guitar playing!
完成度の高さではsecond albumが最高傑作なんじゃないんでしょうか‼️
i joined THIS awesome concert!
Clarity and sound are top notch for this time period. What an amazing group.....still the best lineup imo. Fantastic!
EXPERIENCED MSG AT THE ARAGON IN CHICAGO ON THEIR FIRST TOUR TOGETHER, VISUALLY SPEAKING COZY POWELL WAS GREAT.....LIGHTS OUT WAS COOL TOO;)
Saw him on Michael Shenker Fest tour 8 weeks ago.Fantastic!
That ROCKS! What a line-up. That first MSG album is classic.
Remember seeing MSG few time in Paris during the 80's they were great gigs !
Schenker rules
Cozy Powell plays the drum in the traditional style. The way that Buddy Rich teaches so that you have more versatility.
I saw this exact line up opening for Cheap Trick here in Seattle, '81.
Did they blow Cheap Trick off the stage?

And the 2nd album Assult Attack was also fantastic , with Graham Bonnet's great vocals, & fantastic drummer Ted McKenna, Chris Glenn bass, Tommy Eyre keyboard ,& of course Schenker on guitar, to me these two albums rank up with the best music of that early 80's hard rock-metal era ,along with JudasPreist, Rainbow, Scorpions, IronMaiden, BlackSabbath, & all the others that made REAL music (not noise) with heavy riffs and great melodies. I feel sorry for kids now,all they have to listen to is repititious lame Hip Hop ,and boring Pop with no feeling. it's a lot of over hyped,pre procsessed,,assembly line,weak crap not played by real musicians (only a bunch of button pressers & DJ's...good lord !) as people get dumber so does the arts. So i say let's salute the real artists & keep rockin' to this killer music forever!!! Sincerely Bob Gourley
@@tonygourley4896 Assault Attack was the third album mate .
Anybody else get the feeling that Schenker was just pleased to be out of UFO, and playing these innovative creations, and just loving every minute of it?
Hang on UFO were brilliant too I wouldn’t knock them ok moog et al fell out with Michael but everyone fell out with Michael even his brother 😂
@@michaelblythe6525 That's because he realized Rudolph had been using him for decades .. If Michael was really that bad .. he wouldn't still be friends with Gary Barden , and Chris Glenn , from this lineup . 30 plus years later
Recently I read an article where Michael Schenker was saying that when he had joined Scorpions for The Lonesome Crow album he had saved the band from extinction because they had no lead guitar player and he stayed until Ulrich Roth aka Uli Jon Roth joined. When he joined UFO they weren't going anywhere and again he saved another band and they became one of the biggest bands in the world until he left them. Judas Priest soon after that asked him if he would consider joining them. He turned the offer down. He didn't want to be a member of somebody else's band one more time. His goal was to have a band of his own with his name, hence MSG
This is a jewel. I do have the LP, and never has heard these tunes live before.
Killer set. MSG at the height of their powers. Every solo is amazing.

I saw MSG in Philly in '81(?), they were the opening act for Molly Hatchett. Two great things about that show: 1) Danny Joe Brown was back as MH's lead singer. 2) I discovered MSG. Been a fan ever since.
No hate to Molly Hatchet, but how in the hell do you watch MSG in it’s prime ( not knowing at that time) and follow this performance up ? You can’t. MH I seen a couple times and they are good but not MSG or Michael Schenker good. They had to play 10 times better which I doubt they did. I can only imagine them watch from backstage and thinking “Fuck!!”
I think Cozy Powell was in every live heavy band in existence in the late 70's early 80's. RIP Cozy!
Cozy powell & Gary Barden in my opinion is the best era of this band!
I think just the same
Saw MSG on the North American leg of this tour. In Vancouver at the UBC Sub Ballroom. Local punk band DOA opened for them. They got booed off the stage by 500 aspiring guitar players who where there to see the MASTER! Amazing show!
sounds like a dick move to boo a small local punk band off the stage
@@LoneShot95 no.
