This item couples MSG's 1980 debut tour dress rehearsal with the London performance from the same year. It features recordings from the first tour with MSG, including Cozy Powell, following the completion of Michael Schenker's first solo album. The concert-style studio rehearsals, conducted concurrently with the solo album, include band intros and offer a realistic glimpse into the members' chemistry and Michael's passionate guitar work. The live performance held in London that same year directly conveys the high motivation of the band members, and while there is a roughness to the band as a whole, you can enjoy a powerful performance. In terms of sound quality, the rehearsal recordings are from an SBD source, and the London show is a good audience recording, although it has some roughness.
