Michael Schenker hit the stage at 11:15 P.M. During the opening song \u201cE-Tone\u201d the guitar virtuoso commanded the stage with his expertise flawless guitar performance. New singer Doogie White has a vocal style that reminds me a lot of Ronnie James Dio. On the song “Cry For The Nation,\u201d he dedicated this song in memory of Ronnie James Dio. It was also Wayne Findlay\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n

The set was quite diverse featuring new material from Bridge The Gap<\/em> and of course all of the classic hits including Scorpion songs \u201cLove Drive\u201d and \u201cPiece Of Meat.\u201d The new material was well received and very strong. The band performed new songs \u201cWhere The Wild Winds Blow\u201d and \u201cHorizons\u201d both have that classic Schenker flair.<\/p>\n

In concert Michael Schenker brings back the guitar solo. His amazing fret board pyrotechnics were riveting. The execution and precision of the majestic guitar solos were spell binding. <\/p>\n

The audience enjoyed the classic hits of \u201cOnly You Can Rock Me\u201d and \u201cRock Bottom.\u201d During the set Michael performed many solos that were infectious. Be sure to catch Michael Schenker on tour this winter. <\/p>\n
