Synopsis

Album Description

Vintage live tracks recorded in 1983 by the band that introduced guitar hero Yngwie Malmsteen to the world and featuring vocalist Graham Bonnet of Rainbow, Alcatrazz! The performance draws mostly from the band's debut album "No Parole For Rock 'N Roll" including the highlights "Island In The Sun", "Hiroshima Mon Amour" and "Jet To Jet" PLUS a bonus studio version of the Rainbow classic "All Night Long" featuring George Lynch. Packaged with full liner notes.

CD Reviews

Yngwie 101: Required Listening.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The Good: This is an excellent mix and transfer from a show that was originally used as a radio broadcast and recorded at The Country Club in Reseda, CA back in the early 80s. This show was also a widely circulated bootleg. Yngwie is on fire and Graham Bonnet is sounding his best. A good set list including several tracks that were not featured on the "Live Sentence" LP. The real treat here is hearing Yngwie's take on Michael Schenker's "Desert Song" from the "Assault Attack" LP which Graham sang on. Included as a bonus track is yet another un-necessary cover of "All Night Long" featuring George Lynch on guitar. I would rather hear the live version from the show which was likely the encore that night.

The Bad: The worst cover art I have ever seen. It looks like they spent about six bucks on packaging. (The bootleg versions have better artwork). Martin Popoff does a nice job with the liner notes but I wish he had more space to work with. He could have written a nice detailed essay on the band but insted was limited to the standard two page insert. Also, a lazy editing job. You can hear where the banter was cut out between songs and the crowd noise doesn't synch."
