MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP: Quality Cleveland Footage Available - July 6, 2009

Quality video footage of MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP's (MSG) June 26, 2009 concert Peabody's Concert Club in Cleveland, Ohio can be viewed below (courtesy of Arthur, a.k.a. arcme262).

MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP's current touring lineup is as follows:

Michael Schenker (Guitar)
Gary Barden (Vocals)
Wayne Findlay (Guitar, Keyboards)
Pete Holmes (Drums)
Rev Jones (Bass)

MSG's North American trek was originally scheduled to take place in March/April but was postponed due to a delay in receiving the necessary paperwork required for Schenker to enter the U.S.

Audio samples of all 12 tracks that appear on SCHENKER BARDEN ACOUSTIC PROJECT's first album, "Gipsy Lady", are available for streaming on Play.com.

"Gipsy Lady" was released on May 19 via Inakustik.

Almost one year after his phenomenal comeback album "In The Midst Of Beauty" and follow-up tour, guitarist Michael Schenker has collaborated with singer Gary Barden to give the cleverly arranged songs just the touch of soul they need for full impact. And with Michael Voss, Schenker has an experienced producer, a second guitarist as well as a background vocalist on board, who delivers an outstanding performance. Kai Luennemann on percussion completes the team. Using a flamenco guitar with castanets in "Dance Lady Gipsy" conjures up a hot-blooded gypsy dancing before your eyes, while the fiddle and flutes in "Fight For Freedom" transport you to beautiful Ireland.

	COMMENT \| I saw him this past Saturday posted by : PowerBrake 7/6/2009 6:49:37 PM

	Broadway 19 in Fairfax. We were packed in like sardines. There was only room on stage for one of his Marshall stacks. It was loud and my ears are still ringing and its Monday Michael was stone cold sober and he really looked good. Relatively thin, smiling on occasion - played the full set without a break. I give him credit. One day at a time.

	Gary Barden was fabulous. I mean, where and the fuck has this guy been? He was really into the set and put on a great show. I heard many years ago the fucker didn't have a voice left. Perhaps, but I can tell you right now - the fucker really went for it. He was really great

	Saw them recently and they put on a hell of a show. Place was jammed pack and it was very loud. Michael sounded really great. Gary sang well too. rest of the group were tight. All in all it was a awesome night of classics from UFO & MSG

	COMMENT \| Schenker probably forgot.... posted by : msgathome4 7/7/2009 12:45:38 AM

	more than most guitarist know. When he sober, focused and on top of his game, no one can touch him.

	COMMENT \| Awesome! posted by : rando 7/7/2009 11:12:58 AM

	Unfortunately, I was not able to make it to any of the dates on this tour. Schenker, in my opinion, still has by far the best style and technique of any guitarist alive. Nobody else plays leads that sound so good. It would be nice if Schenker and Barden came back to the U.S. to hit some cities they missed. In any event, I hope they put a DVD together from this tour --with lots of closeups of Schenker's fretboard-- because the Youtube clips of his solos are jawdropping.

	COMMENT \| Pretty Fucking Good ! posted by : Hornitos Concerto 7/7/2009 5:26:53 PM

	Would love to see the whole show if it is available. Great to see Michael back on top of his game (again) ! Good to see Gary back in the fold after all these years. Maybe he is a good influence on Michael.
