Michael Schenker Fest Live Release Features Former MSG Singers

Michael Schenker Fest Live Tokyo, which features guest appearances from former MSG vocalists Gary Barden, Graham Bonnet And Robin McAuley, is set to be released on March 24th 2017.

The package will be released in various formats including 2CD, 2CD+DVD COMBO, Vinyl LP, DVD, Blu-Ray, Digitally (Hi-Res, standard download and streaming) and Schenker has released a trailer that can viewed here. Some of the formats are available for preorder here.

Live was captured during a special concert at Tokyo's International Forum on August 24, 2016 and Schenker had this to say, "It's a miracle that after all these years, something like this took place with the original band members of M.S.G.

"Being able to go back to those days and celebrate the music is an exciting experience for us, as well as for old and new fans. To being able to re-experience, and for the new audience to get a feel of what it was like, is incredibly enjoyable."

He adds, "It's an amazing feeling to have all of my M.S.G. Family from the '80's performing together and especially with Graham Bonnet, who I never got to play any concerts after our Assault Attack album that was originally released in 1982. Fortunately, being able to have the participation of original M.S.G. members such as Gary Barden, Chris Glen (bass) and Ted McKenna (drums) being part of it, and somehow, to perform with Robin McAuley and Steve Mann (guitar, keyboards) again as well, is pretty awesome."
