[@Tangento]

I saw this same band in Reseda, California the year before. MSG kicked fucking ass, I'll never forget that show. Michael is STILL my favorite rock guitarist after all these years, ever since I was age 12. 🤘🤘

1981 was a great year for this era of music and culture. Just seeing all the people together free and enjoying themselves is heart warming. 👍👍

Geweldig om dit terug te zien.Ik was er destijds.M'n vrienden bleven ietwat stoned liggen achteraan maar ik ging naar voren om MSG te zien.Wat een impact op me,geweldige gitarist,vingervlugge solo's,uitstekende songs,ook een paar van UFO gespeeld.Voor mij was dat het beste van de dag.
