Michael Schenker Group kicked off their 28-date US 30th Anniversary Tour last week in Southern California (don't worry So Cal fans that missed them, MSG are swinging back around to your neck of the woods next month). If you don't get the chance to catch them on tour, you can still witness this landmark tour in the comfort of your home. Here is how:
The "Live In Tokyo: 30th Anniversary Japan Tour", to be released on October 19, was recorded in January 2010 during the 30th Anniversary Japan Tour. On this tour, the Michael Schenker Group consisted of Michael Schenker, Gary Barden, Simon Phillips, Wayne Findlay, and Neil Murray. The band, in impectable form, blasts through a track list highlighting all stages of Schenker's career: from UFO and Scorpions hits, through MSG classic tracks, to his solo compositions.
