This recording captures Michael Schenker's 1981 Japan tour, August 14th, Nagoya-Kokaido, Aichi, Japan. It features the strongest lineup for MSG, including world-renowned hard rock drummer Cozy Powell and vocalist Gary Barden. Michael himself had great confidence in this Japanese performance, and the Tokyo show was released as an official album, demonstrating its superb quality. Young Michael's high-energy guitar work is truly impressive. The bonus track features seven best takes from his June 8th concert in the Netherlands, recorded in soundboard format. Although the sound quality is Audible, it is recorded in excellent quality, offering a clear, immersive, and consistently high-fidelity listening experience.
