McAuley Schenker Group - Live Save Yourself Tour 1990 -REMASTERED AUDIO-

[@jeffkressner5675]

Man what an amazing guitarist Schenker is. I recently realized that Captain Nemo is very much like classical music. Schenker is alone in the realm of hard rock and classical music. Genius!!

[@crisrose521]

Schenkers BEST playing of all time. Fast , smooth , tone , vibrato , look , gain etc . This should have been Pro Shot with minimal cameras and a “ director’s cut “ of showing only Schenker with a CD / tape / album . Schenker is on fire here 🔥

[@ametalman66]

There should have been a live album from this version of MSG!

[@Olo.PL02]

Yesss!

[@関口尚貴]

1. Save Yourself * 2. Bad Boys * 3. Gimme Your Love 4. This Is My Heart * 5. Into the Arena 6. On and On 7. Courvoisier Concerto 8. Lost Horizons 9.Anytime * 10.Get Down to Business * 11. I Am Your Radio * 12. Rock Bottom 13. Doctor Doctor 14. Get Out 15. Lights Out * = from the album "Save Your Self"

[@barrymurphy402]

Why did MSG never play Destiny live ?

[@LORCAN_1]

❤🔥⚡🎸Кому-то очень повезло быть на этом концерте. Шенкер красавчик! ❤ 90 год , мне было всего 13, эх...

[@markdavidson5971]

Greatest fucken Guitarist of all time. Queen of the deep, Rock bottom live, assault attack, into the arena, lights out,love to love,on with the action, The list goes on and on if you know what I mean. Best Guitarist on this or any other fucken planet, no need to listen too any other guitar great simply because there isn't one. only one true Guitarist and we all know his name is Michael Schenker..... axeflyer, ufo, msg, 4 ever. axeflyerMD

[@1970borntorun]

+mark davidson I agree with you, and would ALSO add Randy Rhoads to that very short list of incredible and easily identifiable rock guitarists who have incredible vibrato, passion and Classical Modalities/Intervals in their playing. We're not in High School, so no need to get into a pissing contest of who is "better" :) Both are awesome in their own ways !!

[@bluerfoot]

Yes Queen of the deep forgotten masterpiece.

[@toxsickdog]

i can't argue with that. schenker has been my fave since the early ufo days. frank marino, uli john roth tony iomi, I have always dug their chops, but schenker rose above the rest very early on and is still kicking ass.

[@user-kt5jf1st3x]

Я согласна с вами! Майкл лучше всех вместе взятых!!

[@Jade_holloway]

completely agree

[@joeyarmstrong238]

Whats so bad ass about Michael back then was the lack of pretention in his style. its never boring. The guitar players nowadays is like sitting in math class. fuck i hate that.

[@Password1590]

yep my favorite.....first saw michael in 75 ufo, and was hooked

[@renberg199]

⁠@@Password1590Same here. 1974-75 at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, Pa.

[@michaellee3724]

I saw MSG at the Hammersmith Odeon in London circa 1983 when Rock Will Never Die was recorded. This guy is incredible I've seen Gary Moore, Eddie, Michael to me is the best just cause I like his tone and speed. Awesome music friends...

[@arturocamargo8245]

De acuerdo contigo My friend

[@tonyw1416]

I loved this version of MSG. Robyn was my fave Schenker singer and he wrote my four favourite Schenker tunes. Gimme Yout Love, Love is not a Game, Anytime and When I'm gone.

Christ! Schenker lit the whole place up with impeccable guitar work and he was in rare form here. Great band and thank you for posting this!

[@regdawson5488]

Michael is RIPPING here. Incredible. At his peak methinks. Thank you Mr Tyger for making this treasure available etc. Should be released "officially" - but would lose power of what we have here. Cheers!!

[@ChristopherKarl]

I never heard Schenker play like this.... Jesus - what a monster...

[@JesusSanchez-ks2yn]

It was in support of the Perfect Timing Tour. Now that was more McCauley era. in my opinion more rocking. But Schenker is awesome regardless Thanks for sharing this! Keep posting!

Saw this tour at Ventura Theater, Ventura Ca!! Wow!

[@mikenealon4042]

michael f'n schenker

[@barroncrist5779]

Michael's solo at the beginning of "Save Yourself" may be his best ever. I think it's better than Van Halen's "Eruption".

[@robertturner570]

Schenker never improvised a solo in studio. Every single note, inflection and vibrato was worked out in detail. Now live, he did lots of ad-lib,but it was always brilliant. I've been a fan since his early UFO days. Despite his known personal struggles he has continually improved year after year. Every time I hear him he's better than he was the last time. Unbelievable!

[@dlr0u812]

Rôbert Turner what about his work with the scorpion?

[@robertturner570]

Bruce Brock Frankly, I wish there was a lot more of it. His contributions to Lovedrive hinted at what they might have done together. My guess is there's a creative control issue. Schenker himself has said he felt silly playing Uli Roth soloes during the live shows. As for the very first recordings with Scorpions, Michael hadn't yet found his voice. He was still a teenager! One would have to admit, the Scorpions fared quite well without him.

[@stevemann_music]

Robert - that's not quite correct with the improvisation in the studio - most of the outro solos were improvised - at least on the Save Yourself album.

[@robertturner570]

Steve Mann You know, you're probably right. I hadn't thought of the outro solos. But Schenker himself has said that he creates his solos the same way he creates a song, from beginning to end. He's well aware that he's known for his great solos so he gives them a lot of thought. You make a valid point, though. I would like to think that he's cutting loose during those fade-outs.

[@Musicman4001007]

I have to differ with you guys, I met Michael in 1995 at a UFO concert and talked to him for 2 hours. It was unbievable and he personally told me he improvised every solo. Being a guitar player I have always rememberd that and my playing got so much better it was life changing. I asked him about his solos and he said I don’t even remember them the solos that is; so that’s why they sound different every time but always fresh....

[@paulespinosa5195]

What an amazing show!!! MSG at their best

[@falcondfw69]

Michael at his best! The whole band was ON during this night!

[@smitchix1]

Does any pro-shot video of this tour exist, anywhere? I realize in 1990 that MSG and The Black Crowes may have been a somewhat "minor tour" at the time, but this is monsterous stuff. Were they playing theatres? Hard to imagine that twin bill (as much as I would love it) filling arenas in 1990.

[@lifeisnice23]

What a gem! Michael was incredible here, absolute master! Also an hard-core metal punk version of Rock bottom, never heard the solo that crazy fast and tight before!

[@MichaelInsinger]

Ich glaub das war Michaels beste Zeit, da war er unglaublich fit und bestens eingespielt.

[@glimmertwin1548]

Seine beste Zeit? Solo bzw. als MSG bzw. McSG vielleicht, aber ne, eigentlich auch nicht. Da gefällt er mir Anfang der 80er teilweise besser. Und seine beste Zeit hatte er sicherlich mit UFO. Was er auf der kompletten 'Strangers' macht, ist einfach überragend!

[@cocktailhotel]

Schenker the Superb Commander !

[@marcsorensen1184]

He was always at his best with Robin..well, other than UFO. Get Down To Bizzness is fricking awesome..Always loved that song.

[@dandylion18]

More of a 'Heavy Metal' sound from MSG here, and it's great!

[@skrappost482]

The most amazing thing about this show was that the Black Crows apparently at one point opened for MSG.

[@jackmckenna8410]

+Skrap Post I saw the Black Crowes open for MSG in 1989 at the Newport in Columbus, OH. I hadn't heard of them from Adam at the time. Chris Robinson was drunk, too loud, and slurring his lyrics. I thought the band was good, though, but my buddy and I still booed them. MSG was SUPER LOUD, but good. Had to put napkins in our ears to help mitigate the decibels. Crowes came out on the radio about 6 months later, couldn't fuckin' believe they hit it big. Became a fan on the basis of that first album.

[@margueritemazzeo2904]

​@@jackmckenna8410Saw Black Crows open for this MSG in Fort Lauderdale Florida in 1989..met Michael..Rocky and Bodo..Robyn was backstage..the Black Crows appeared on MTV the very next week.

[@LarryBledsoe-m3p]

I saw this show at a bar called the SWITCH in Raleigh N.C. Then , like a couple weeks later saw him again at CHARLOTTE COLISEUM . The bar show was definitely better.

MSG was cool , but UFO could have been fucking huge , oh well

[@badmonkey2222]

Got a great story...saw them on this tour at Charlie Goodnight's in Raleigh NC on this tour, Black Crows were basically unheard of at that point but anyways after the show managed to get backstage and was in the dressing room when i spotted it, THE flying V, the Gibson that up until that point has played since his UFO days, anyways Bodo and myself are doing shots, Michael was on the bus at that point taking a shower, i said man can i hold that just for like one min? And he said sure man, i almost had a fking heart attack, he says "man of Michael walks in right now he's going to kick mine and your ass" i don't know if he was serious but i proceeded to hand it back, the head stock had been repaired multiple times with all things, drumsticks, but it was such a professional job but i just thought it was crazy, I'm a prof musician (guitarist) myself and Shienker was muy biggest influence so needless to say when walked in and took pictures and talked to the only other girl and me and my friend (there we're only us 3 back there) for like 45 mins it was a memory I've cherished and will continue to the rest of my life🤘🤘

[@izzimichaels2892]

very cool story, i have one, not nearly as awesome, anyway, saw the same tour, black crows opening act..etc....it was at a venue that forbid cameras....like most did back then, anyway, i sneak my 35 mm bulky ass camera in....i manage to get some decent shots, not easy as low light meant slow shutter speed.(no flash obviously) i did not get caught, years later schenker signed an enlarged copy of one of the better shots for me, and took time to admire it, asked where it had been taken. the picture he signed looks almost to a T like the thumbnail for this post, thats why i clicked on, to see if it was filmed at the same place. lol. rock on!

[@badmonkey2222]

@@izzimichaels2892 very cool yeah I got some good pictures after the show with him and with the guitar, I'm a musician and used to tour and I've been blessed to have met most of the people that I idolized growing-up, Eric Johnson being one, like you I had taken some pictures and then years later saw him again and had him sign them and he asked about where they were taken and all that, but anyway cool story also rock on..!! 🤘🤘👍👍
