Michael Schenker/Texas, USA 1984

From the U.S. tour held after the third performance in Japan in conjunction with the release of “Built To Destroy” in 1984, the April 1st Texas and El Paso performances are completely recorded directly from the recently discovered original audience master. Although the encore has not been recorded, it is of amazing quality at the time, and the sound quality can be said to be sufficient in all aspects such as balance, clarity, and power. Also, bassist Chris Glenn left the group at the beginning of the tour. As a result, until a successor was chosen, several performances were held without the bassist, and Derek Saint Holmes also left the band after a short period of time, and although there were many troubles, the performances were excellent, and it was one of the best performances in Japan. Unlike its popularity, in America, even though it is a club gig, there is still a lot of momentum to come, and you can feel the enthusiasm of the audience. After this, Gary Burden also left the band, and the sound sources from this transitional period are not widely distributed, so this is a must-listen item that fans cannot miss. 01. Captain Nemo / 02.
