He played 3 dates in Japan. This show is an excellent sounding matrix (IEM + audience) that includes the soundcheck material. I was surprised how much interaction Michael Schener has with the audience. Michael introduces the show and himself and introduces each vocalist. I have listened to a lot of Michael Schenker shows and cannot recall him ever speaking to the audience. As far as the vocals go - Gary Barden does ok, Graham Bonnet struggles, and Robin McAuley does well. Note - Graham Bonnet performs Broken Promises in this Aug 26 show. They had soundchecked Broken Promises on Aug 23 and 24, but did performed it only at the Aug 26 show. Listen to the samples. Scans are included too.
