Michael Schenker/Osaka,Japan 2016 & SC

The Osaka performance on August 23rd (ZEPP Namba Osaka) was recorded in full with amazing high quality sound from the festival stage, where Gary Barden, Graham Bonnet, and Robin McAuley were accompanied by three successive vocalists! This killer “multi-IEM matrix sound source” allows you to hear all the sounds the band produces with perfect separation and clarity, centered on the unique guitar tone of the “god” (the guitars perfectly separated on the left and right are a masterpiece!) and the “voices” of the three unique singers. The label released a similar “multi-IEM matrix sound source” on the previous tour of Japan (2015), but the level of completion of this series of works is overwhelming, surpassing those. Anyway, Michael’s guitar sound is too good! Please experience the ever-advancing recording technology, “multi-IEM matrix recording” in 2016! Well, this Osaka performance, which was also the memorable opening stage of the Japan tour, was a fulfilling live performance that could literally be described as a “Michael Schenker Festival”, covering the representative songs of each era, including Baden, Bonnet, and McCauley. It is especially noteworthy that “Captain Nemo” was included in the set list for the first time in a long time! Also, from the appearance of Michael introducing himself in a good mood from the beginning (the chorus part of “Rock Bottom” is firmly on the microphone!), you can see how special this tour is. The opening stage of the Japan tour that left a strong impact! The first night of the historic return stage of the great Captain Nemo! This is a memorial item that allows you to relive that hot night’s performance with amazing high quality sound! The bonus track includes plenty of footage of the sound check rehearsal that took place before the doors opened that day. “Broken Promises”, which was debuted in Sapporo, was already being performed at the rehearsal that day, so it’s another song not to be missed.
