This recording captures the Michael Schenker Group's performance at De Montfort Hall, Leicester, UK, on September 15, 1981, during the On The Rack Tour. Following their August Japan tour, this European leg of the tour saw a high level of audience enthusiasm, perhaps influenced by Cozy Powell's addition, and Michael himself delivered a very stable and powerful performance. Cozy's addition stabilized the rhythm section, resulting in a highly polished and complete performance overall. The setlist mainly consists of songs from the new album "Myth," making for a very enjoyable and well-produced live performance. The bonus track features a full 13-song set from a California concert held in 1980 after Cozy Powell joined the band. The sound quality is good, as it is an audience recording and has a slight dated feel, but it is recorded in good quality with excellent clarity and presence, allowing you to enjoy a stable, high-quality sound.
