Michael Schenker

Michael is still bringing it after 40 years!! All the singer's and the rest of the band kicked ass too. You definitely want to see this show!

The show was awesome! I can t explain enough how mind blowing it was to see All the singers from over the years and to see Michael Schenker year it up on the guitar from a few feet away!

At 63, Michael Schenker can still bring it! Schenker is one of my top 3 favorite guitarists, and I finally had the opportunity to see him perform live at The Neptune in Seattle on March 22, 2018. Schenker did not disappoint. His veteran bassist, drummer, and rhythm guitarist also can outplay musicians half their age. The vocalists....well, I've never been impressed with the singers Schenker has employed over the years, but they certainly gave it their all. As for the concert, the playlist was well-paced and representative of Schenker's career. Finally, the band rocked for 2 hours and 40 minutes. Wow! In summary, "Michael Schenker Fest" is one of the best concerts I've ever attended. Keep bringing it, Michael!

Ok, we know Michael Schenker is a guitar god but, this show with 4 of his former and present singers all with their own short sets and sharing songs concluding with UFO classics was a show not to miss.

I love Michael I always have ever since I saw him at the Capitol Theater way back in 70-something. Absolutely one of the most melodic virtuoso rock guitarist of all time! Seeing him on the 10th was fantastic and he looked clean and sober and the happiest I've ever seen him while performing... but... Having all those MSG singers up there I don't know it didn't quite feel right - it was like a Broadway review maybe because at heart I'm a Phil Mogg fan .. I have a deep longing to see UFO back together again ! Now that would be tremendous! Ted McKenna was amazing on the other hand Chris Glenn- eh... way over the top too loud and the synthesized harmonic on his bottom just didn't work for me. perhaps it was the sound guy but I doubt it ... I mean I appreciate his prowess and his pedigree- and his playing is fine for the MSG material but I thought he massacred the UFO songs and that was disheartening. He just doesn't have the groove and the swing that Pete Way has with Andy. But that's just me I've heard other opinions about performance.. I don't know who the other guitar/ keyboard player is-he was great hung right in there... all in all Mike Schenker the blonde bomber!! what a monster Rock guitar Meister what a great tone. I'm always humbled-WR

Hats off to these guys...still rocking after all these years. Schenker is in his early 60's and you would think he was 23 up there. He played with great enthusiasm and fervor. He definitely is one with that flying V. The best live guitarist I've ever seen and I have seen well over 100 shows. All four vocalist were good , but Robin McCauley was the most impressive. He sounded like it was still 1987. The only changes I would make are adding "On and On" to the setlist and switching up the UFO encore songs a little bit. I realize "Rock Bottom" is a must but I'd like to see more of a rotation. They pretty much play the same UFO songs every year. How about "Let it Roll", "Only you can rock me", "Love lost love", "I'm a loser", "Try me", "On with the Action"? Just to mention a few. Otherwise great show!!!! Bravo

Michael Schenker is a legendary rock guitar player and if you are a Scorpions fan, UFO fan or just a straight up rock fan, you won't be disappointed!!

Michael Schenker was at his absolute best. I've seen him multiple times and this was the best he's been. The "Temple of Rock" band is awesome. The singer is a great frontman and he sounds great on all the hits. The Scorpions members on bass and drums are obviously great. They tore through classic UFO, Scorpions, and MSG. songs as well as two or three new ones. The new songs fit right in with the set list. Schenker was flawless and sounded amazing. This line up is top notch. I doubt, either, UFO or Scorpions would sound any better. I fell like I saw the best of both!

Michael Schenker & Don Dokken brought me back to my high school days! The guitars were amazing, as was Michael. He can rip it! All of the band members in Michael Schenker were excellent at their trade. It was definitely loud, but isn't Rock-n-Roll supposed to be? Don Dokken did an acoustic warm-up act. Unfortunately, not a big fan of acoustics. However, he did a great job. I would have rather heard him sing with more band members though. The violinist that he added to the act was amazingly good, and it was a nice break from just guitars. The Canyon in Agoura Hills, CA is a great venue. I had never been there before. Excellent acoustics and seating/standing areas. Bar drinks were a little pricey though!

I never followed Don Dokken, but I showed up with an open mind. Two acoustic guitars and a n unhappy man complaining into a microphone. Some good moments, but pretty unprofessional overall. His other guitarist was just the opposite. We all came to watch Michael Schenker play, and play he did. Ever the perfectionist, and with an incredibly ON NIGHT, Michael tore the place apart.

great show, packed house was fired up. Temple of Rock lineup playing well together. Michael played great. Don Dokken added an acoustic set of some classic Dokken songs.

Micheal still has the skills, great mix of UFO, Scorpions, and new music. The band is very talented. Poor Fat Don Dokken blew during his acoustic set, did nothing but complain about his guitar volume and how tired he was. Angeles nice warm up band, covers and originals. Does anyone know who the 2nd warm up band was??

This was my first Michael Schenker Group experience ever. I mean ever! I have UFO Strangers in the Night. that's it. I've seen Michael on "That Metal Show" with Eddie Trunk a few times. Eddie loves Michael to death and always talks about him on the show. One day I got an e-alert from Ticketmaster informing me of MSG playing in Englewood NJ, BergenPAC. I went on a whim, basically. Thank you ticketmaster. I bought a front row ticket and went on a snowy monday, Martin Luther King Jr's birthday. WOW! this show kicked ass from beginning to end. Doogie, the singer, immediately got the whole crowd on it's feet and the show just took off. Top notch musicians and super nice guys. Posing for photos, waving hello to everybody, and rocking out in our faces. I would recommend seeing MSG to anybody who wants to see some great, kick ass rock and roll! Good minx of MSG, Scorpions, and UFO. The opening band Gundriver kicked ass too and super nice guys also. I'll definitely be seeing MSG whenever they come to the tristate area. Thanks everybody!

Saw Schenker last Saturday night. Great show and the crowd really was into it. If you get the chance to see this guitar icon, go do it.

I hadn't seen schenker play live since 1990 and he has gotten even better today than back then. Excellent show and rest of the band were very good also. Would highly recommend show to anyone else and would go again.

it was a moving and awesome show.. Hoping they come back to the area this Spring.

SCHENKER KILLED IT IN CORONA, MUSIC FROM HIS NEW CD , CLASSIC SCORPIONS TO UFO.

This was a birthday present for my boyfriend, who as a guitarist, idolizes Schenker. My boyfriend was thrilled and said he is a technical genius, playing exactly as he sounded on his recordings. I was very impressed as well; he used about 4 different v-shaped guitars! The bass player was quite a showman and the singer had a good personality and vocal strength. The drummer and keyboardist nicely rounded out the group.

The man is still the legend,continue to bang your heads my friends.

Michael Schenker Band was tight and that's about it. Unfortunately my husband and I could only hear double bass drums, and the high E & B strings of Michael Schenker's solos. Nothing makes me more nuts at a concert than a good band sounding like yit because they are either turned up too loud for the room and the sound man cannot control it, or the sound-man is incompetent. Bergen PAC room doesn't need double stacks of Marshalls, a 60 watt Class A Tube Amp thru the PA is more than enough. Longer story short SOUND (volume, equalization, dynamics) is/are the most important part of a concert and if that is missing the rest will not matter much. Especially for those who have an ear to hear and appreciate bands who would otherwise be musical. BUMMER!!

A follower for 30+ years, he just grows & grows! There wasn't an unenjoyable moment. Schenker's virtuosity is astounding. It helps that he has accomplished musicians working with him, though not who I expected. Sure, like many, I love the UFO classics, but in his own right, and on his own, he's written and performed some great material to a very high standard. Michael Schenker could play with Josie & the Pussycats, and I'd still love how he'd deliver.

The last time I saw Michael Schenker was when I was in HS 30+ years ago, and holy crow, can this guy still play! Michael can still shred riffs that will melt concrete as good as or even better than back in the day. The band was incredible as well, as was Doogie White, excellent lineup with old Scorps and MSG members. They play like they belong together, and that's because they do. This is no creaky old revival act, this is high energy, loud, solid rock and roll at it's finest. One of the best and most innovative guitarists that ever lived. Do not hesitate, sell your soul and go see this show.

hat a great show, Micheal was at his best form. perhaps the best I have seen him and I have been going to his shows since 1979. The Band Pet shark was also a very pleasant surprise. They seem to play from what I have been influenced by in the past few decades !

Schenker did what he alsways does, rocked the show from the moment he walked on stage until the end of Doctor Doctor... They wasted no time and ran through their set with no delays, no BS, Only issue was with the venue and not MSG. Four opening bands was a bit much. Coldwire opened and did a good set, rum soaked raisins was ok, but felt out of place.... 3rd bands name escapes me at the moment was loud enough to wake the dead, and battlefront, the fourth band was a solid band... yet 4 was a bit to much.

Great show , Schenker is back in full force . the whole band was great . Go see them.

Mike was just fantastic , He didn"t hold back nothing . As a hard rock guitarst for more than 30 years I can tell you he s as good as it gets. I had tickets to see him back in 1979 and he left UFO . This was at the Tower theater AC/DC opened up for UFO , I sat in the10th row center sec . Was a great show ,mike missed out on this. He realy made up for it at this show. And Robin McAuley is one of my favorit singers , and a very nice guy was a pleasure to meet him and talk to him. Would of loved to talk shop with Michael ,but I just he was tired after that fantastic show .

great rockin show. lots of old ufo favorites and terrific songs from schenker's newest album. his best in years. Venues sound system could use lots of improvement.

Michael Schenker and company did not disapoint. five warm up bands were a bit much at that particular venue but the warm up band and Michael with Robin were amazing. Would love to see that again.

Michael Schenkers Temple of Rock tour was amazing. I was lucky to be able to see him twice and wish it wasn't over. He played all his great songs leaving you wanting more.

another classic schenker show with new tracks mixed in with msg, ufo & scorpions tunes

Great from start to finish! Opening act Gundriver was excellent as well, you could tell Gundriver is not only very capable of headlining their own tour in the near future but to become a world renowned band. MSG/Temple of Rock of course exceeded all expectations and cannot wait to see them again!(Also worth noting this was MSG with Jones and Holmes who were great fill-ins.)

from start to finish great rock and roll show. great to see MSG after all these years he finally played in our area, good to see Robin McAuley back, he still rocks also!

I have been a fan for 40 years I had never seen Michael play before. I've always thought he was awesome but he exceeded my expectations tenfold. Unbelievably great show. Totally blown away. A definite brain melter. As well as playing lead guitar for 40 years, I've seen 100's of rock shows this has to be in the top three! Rock on Michael.

Nice small venue! Closer to the band, different feel from the stadium or arena show but really nice in general. MSG and Schenker still rocks, great guitar riffs and solos.

all I can say is what an amazing show...Schenker is God played almost 3 hours better than ever Great seeing all these singers together jjust go see this show if you can

I bought the MSG album in 1982 and was hooked. I can't believe I got to see Michael with Gary Barden after all these years. And Graham Bonnet. And Robin McCauley. The show was amazing and a dream come true for me. All 4 singers rotated and sung back up on select songs for each other. It was an incredible show for the deep MSG fans. The venue is large and very nice. We sat in the balcony. It was weird for me to sit during a show. At the same time, it was easier on my injured back.

Great show!! Venue was good, Michaels play was amazing! Always a good time!

A check for the bucket list. A++ and in a word, AWESOME! His technique and fret work along with that incredible tone he has was spot on. It was an honor to witness such skill and greatness with a guitar.

Hands down the best Michael Schenker show I ve ever seen. 2 hours and 45 minute set, 30 songs. Playing the best he as ever played.

3 hours of non-stop guitar wizardry spanning almost 50 years of an incredible music carrer. Starting with numbers from the original MSG, with Gary Barden, continuing to version 2 with Graham Bonnet, to the MSG with Robin McCauley, to the Temple of Rock with Doogie White - interspersed with numbers from the newest album just released in March 2018, then back almost 40 years to a number from Lovedrive (Scorpions), and ending with an amazing version of the original appearance of the Blonde Bomber including what must have been a 20 minute solo in Rock Bottom. Michael was on stage the whole time, playing the whole time - only stopping when he changed guitars. I hope to see him many more times.

The band ROCKED for 3 hours! Best Michael Schenker performance and I ve seen him about 4 times. If you get a chance go see Schenker Fest!

This was the best concert I have ever been to,I was the loudest person in the crowd, I can be heard on YouTube during coast to coast.

The show did not disappoint. Sound was fantastic and having all the different singers was quite a treat. Schenker brought his A Game tonight.

Really enjoyed the MS Fest last Saturday night Mar. 24th at the San Jose City Civic

Great show covering all of Schenker's Career with the 4 singers that made the songs great!! If you are a Schenker fan this is a can't miss show. Will go again if this show comes back through the PNW.

Wow! What an amazing show! It was really fun to see all of the singers from the past. I really liked how he showcased each singer and the music he made with them individually, then to have them as back up singers for each other was really special! I especially loved when they did all the UFO songs. My absolute Favorite! It was 3 hours of pure Rock and Roll! Michael had a huge smile on his face and was really enjoying all of the fans! Such a great show! McAuley was AWESOME! His voice sounds great and we really enjoyed seeing him as well. What a fun event! Everyone had a great time! We were all leaving the show saying "That was Fricken AWESOME"! Shenker is as good as ever and never left the stage. Even for the encore, he stayed and said "do you want more?"... Everyone went wild and back the band came! Loved that! Loved the show! Loved Schenker! Thank you for coming to San Jose! Woo Hoo! Rock and Roll at it's best! Would love to see Schenker and Phil Mogg together again! That would be amazing! Thanks again! Loved every minute of it!

True working musician - played for 3 hrs. never stopped +guitar solo. 4 singers. 2+ encores!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for MSG/Schenker/UFO/Scorpions fans!

Michael Schenker Fest was awesome. Michael rocked the house for almost three hours and did not disappoint. He has not lost any of his magic over the years. Sound was great and the four vocalists really worked.

Played everything. Close to 3 hours. No breaks. No opening band

OUT-FRICKEN-STANDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All of the different vocalists brought back great memories of this mans Great Music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Micheal Schenker was amazing, once in a lifetime goal to see him. Robin McCauly sang amazingly!

one is the best shows and venues i have been to in a long time. He has been a long time favorite guitarist of mine and he did not let me down, THE MAN ROCKED THE HOUSE FOR 2.5 hours. Need i say more

Michael was at his best...(as usual). Being able to see 3 previous singers, Gary Barden, Graham Bonnet, and Robin McAuley, along with current singer Doodie White in the same show was fantastic. Great energy and showmanship on stage by all members of the band. Only knock on the show was I wish the would have played 3 more hours.Truly a fantastic show!!! Till you come around again, ROCK ON MICHAEL!!!

Great sound. Love the band. Love the setlist and I am impressed by them.

Awesome,couldn't have been better.Well worth the price to see them in such a cool small venue.

Saw Michael at the Neptune Theater in Seattle on March 22nd. He and his band were incredible! It was awesome that he had all former MSG vocalists (Robin McCauley, Gary Barden, and Graham Bonnett), as well as Doogie White who joined him in more recent years. They rocked for over 2.5 hours, Michael never stopping! I was up front in the GA section and was able to get to the barrier. He was kind enough to navigate over to me as I leaned over the barrier to touch his hand! That made my night! He played MSG tunes, some of his more recent creations, and also played greats from his days with UFO. The base player, keyboardist/guitarist, and percussionist were equally as terrific. I ve been a Michael Schenker fan since 1982 but was never able to see him live. My daughter came with me and had a blast as well. I m thrilled she was able to experience the Blonde Bomber and see what a real rock show is all about!

This was a great show, with Gary Bardens, Graham Bonnet, Robin McAuley and Doogie White all taking a turn on the vocals, and singing together on several songs from the new album.

If you're a Schenker fan you really should not miss this or you may regret it for the rest of your life. Who knows, you may not get another opportunity.
