"MICHAEL SCHENKER'S BEST!"
An unexpected surprise! Just when you thought that Michael Schenker's best days were in the past, he releases a future classic. For a live album, it's one of the best ever! The collection of songs are a career-spaning set that reminds you of just how much great material he's help generate through the years. The "UFO" songs is what got me to buy it and I was shocked to hear just how good they sounded. This is a must for Schenker and "UFO" fans!

Definative Greatest Hits
Well it seems that Michael Schenker CAN make a good business decision after all!!! After playing in 5 different bands and being released on 500 different labels, he came up with the idea for this spectacular album. Basically a definative greatest hits
that covers every facet of his career up to it's release date, this brilliant performace showcases him and his (then current) virtuoso band lineup blazing their way through his most famous songs from The Scorpians, UFO, The Scorpians (again), MSG, Contraband, Macully (sp?) Schenker Group, and MSG (again). Drummer Shane Gaalaas and bassist Barry Sparks each take turns astounding the listener with their incredible chops. It says a lot about Michael that he was so willing to share the spotlight. This being said, the jamming doesn't affect the structure of the songs in the slightest. I saw the band on the tour supporting their follow up album and they were really this good. No overdubs neccesary. With all due RESPECT to Cozy Powell, Don Airey, etc...THE BEST MSG LINEUP EVER!!!! The album to get if you are only going to own one Michael Schenker album.

Michael Schenker solo finally does a good one...
After several years of lousy solo albums with one or two good songs or just really bad sound engineering, this compilation is worthy of Schenker's guitar talent. This one also omits Gary Barden who is a pretty bad vocalist, especially live, in favour of Sundin and Van Landing (who share vocal duties on here). This compilation is not truly MSG's best of collection, but it provides a fairly comprehensive selection of Michael's best work. And the most important thing for me at this point, was that the sound quality was good- and it really is. One of the best live cd's I've heard. Even if you compare it with other hard rock live recordings done recently, like Queensryche's Live Evolution comes to mind, this cd is much, much better. I can crank it to the max and I don't get any hisses or annoying production limitations, just clear bass, mids, tweets, all well-balanced. One reviewer mentioned that Schenker does well for an old geezer. He's actually only 46 years old now and he looks and performs better, at least on this cd, than any of his previous stuff. He isn't the fat old fogie type that some of his contemporaries have become. It looks like he actually follows an exercise program (at least from the photos). Another testament to the fact that while diet and execise may not guarantee a long life, it sure looks a heck of a lot better and usually makes you feel better, too.
