Guitar icon Michael Schenker<\/strong><\/a> has announced the release of the ‘Michael Schenker Fest Live Tokyo’ DVD+CD on March 24th 2017 via Inakustik. Filmed and recorded at Tokyo\u2019s International Forum on August 24, 2016, this release features the Michael Schenker Fest in which original Michael Schenker Group vocalists Gary Barden, Graham Bonnet and Robin McAuley participated.<\/p>\n

Says Schenker, “It\u2019s a miracle that after all these years, something like this took place with the original band members of \u201cM.S.G.\u201d. 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.”<\/p>\n

Continues Schenker, “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.”<\/p>\n

The Band:
\nMichael Schenker \u2013 Lead Guitar
\nTed McKenna \u2013 Drums
\nSteve Mann \u2013 Guitar, Keyboards
\nChris Glen \u2013 Bass<\/p>\n

The Vocalists:
\nGary Barden
\nGraham Bonnet
\nRobin McAuley<\/p>\n

“It was just one enjoyable event from beginning to end,\u201d says Schenker. “Seeing those happy, excited fans right from the beginning before the show even started, was incredible. It was like Budokan all over again. It\u2019s wonderful how we all got on with each other. It felt incredibly natural, as if it was always like this. Right from the start of rehearsal, the chemistry was great. No problems, just pure fun.”<\/p>\n
