Michael Schenker Group/Scotland,UK 1982

“ASSAULT ATTACK Tour” is known for its unexplored areas even during the Golden Age. A new excavation master that conveys the site has been decided to be released. What is sealed in this work is “December 1, 1982 Edinburgh Performance”. This is an exquisite audience recording. Speaking of “ASSAULT ATTACK Tour”, it started with Graham’s disappearance at the warm-up gig and Gary Burden’s sudden return, but perhaps there was a limit to promotion with a different singer, and it ended in a short time. I quickly shifted to becoming a production doctor for my next film, “BUILT TO DESTROY” (although my next film also ended up having a difficult delivery). This work is a live album that allows you to experience such a valuable show on-site. First of all, let’s look back at its history and check the position of the show. 1982, August 24th: University of Sheffield (Graham disappeared) August 27th: Rehearsal with Gary Burden》 August 29th: Reading Festival appearance ← *Official BBC RADIO ONE September 4th + 5th: Golden Summer Night (2 performances in West Germany)《“ASSAULT ATTACK” released in October》・October 31st: Bristol performance・November 21st – December 13th: UK (14 performances)　←★Here★ 1983・1 March 13th-20th: Japan (6 performances)《Producing “BUILT TO DESTROY”》This is an overview of activities related to “ASSAULT ATTACK.” For MSG, the exact dates are vague depending on the materials, so the number of performances is not exact, but I think you can understand the general flow and scale. I did a feat of appearing at Baden and Reading Festival in less than a week after Graham’s disappearance, but the main part of the tour started about three months later. There were very limited stages only in the UK and Japan. Among them, the Edinburgh performance of this work is the beginning. This was the 6th concert of the “UK” tour. This work recorded at such a show is a new excavation master that jumped out from the currently popular collection. The collection is “G.Mann”. Yes, it is a prestigious group in 2021 that has released masterpieces from various bands, including masterpieces such as ACCEPT’s “MONSTERS OF ROCK 1984”, Gary Moore’s “MONSTERS OF ROCK 1984”, and MOTLEY CRUE’s “NUREMBERG 1984″. The other day, MSG’s 4-disc set “MANCHESTER 1982” was very popular. This work is a live album that can be called a sequel to “MANCHESTER 1982”. This time as well as “MANCHESTER 1982”, it seems that it is not a recording of “G.Mann” himself, but the quality is as expected. The best thing about it is its active core and glossy sound. The vintage tone at the beginning makes you think, “Is this a normal recording?”, but when the performance begins, the performance sound is powerful and clear with details. Actually, although the bass is a little recessed, everything else is perfect. Particularly wonderful is the main character, Michael’s flying V, which shows not only the width of the bending and vibrato, but also the delicateness that seems to be conveyed to the angle of the pick. That sound depicts MSG as a unit, including Barden & Ted McKenna. Let’s organize the set here. ・Phenomenon: Doctor Doctor/Rock Bottom (★) ・God: Cry for the Nations/Bijou Pleasurette/Victim of Illusion (★)/Lost Horizons/Armed and Ready ・Mythology: Attack of the Mad Axeman/Let Sleeping Dogs Lie/Looking For Love/Are You Ready to Rock・Apocalypse: Ulcer (★)/Rock you to the Ground・Others: Courvoisier Concerto/Scotland the Brave (★) *Note: “★” marks “BBC RADIO ONE” and “ROCK WILL NEVER” A song that you can’t listen to even with “DIE”. …and it looks like this. Unfortunately, “Into the Arena” and “Desert Song” were not recorded due to the mid-stage change, but the selection of early masterpieces starting with “Ulcer”, which is the proof of the “ASSAULT ATTACK Tour”, is still exceptional. “Scotland the Brave”, which will be performed at the start of the encore, is a favorite song that is also referred to as the “unofficial Scottish national anthem.” However, it is not a band performance, but a loud chorus between Baden and the audience. However, it is not just a play, and the flow where the riff of “Are You Ready to Rock” roars when it gets excited is very cool. The “ASSAULT ATTACK Tour” has only a small number of live performances, and it is inevitable that it will become a hidden gem. Not only will it enrich your collection, but this work itself is a great-sounding live album. Not only is this a sequel to “MANCHESTER 1982,” but it’s also a great trial version for those who are put off by the 4-disc volume of “MANCHESTER 1982.” Playhouse, Edinburgh, Scotland 1st December 1982 TRULY AMAZING / PERFECT SOUND Disc 1(41:38) 1.
