Michael Schenkerfest 2019 - Rock Bottom 

Note, I’ve now got a 2022 tour live version of this at this link. Sitting a lot closer for the 2022 tour, with excellent sound and video quality. Check it out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vLHDN0Zqrts.html

I've seen Beck, Page, Blackmore, Clapton, Vai, Satriani, EVH, and many more. For me, Michael Schenker was the best of them all.

MS one of the great's guitarist of all -time, this is his masterpiece!!

Schenker. The living legend. Still fabulous.

Such a great tone. Could listen to him solo for days. Never gets boring.

Saw him in a small bar in Dallas in 1984. Was INCREDIBLE. wore that leather jacket the whole time. Awesome.

Lordy Lord - I am speechless. True wizardry and mastery - every note has TONE - and he never chooses speed over phrasing and note choice - he can play as fast as anyone needs to, but he governs it to the very highest level.

THIS is how you play Classic Hard Rock! Michael just 'has it' and what a guitar tone! Great band with him! RIP Ted McKenna!

Proud to say I was there that evening. Had to have a Pabst on tap at the Pabst Theater. Michael Schenker is one of the absolute best guitarists. Still rocks it out.

Michael and his pals are genuine and pure old school rock and roll

Can't get enough of watching this guy play lead. Truly amazing!!!

Hall of fame " NOW !!!!!!! The list of musicians he has inspired is phenomenal " seriously !

MS is one of the all-time greats.

Holy moly! Best Rock Bottom solo ever!

INCREDIBLE PERFOMANCE !

20 mins of pure rock music

Old school style. A lot of improvisations.... Nice!

One of the best riffs in rock history epic guitarist

Michael Schenker is a guitar god!

He still plays amazingly

The One And Only... And I Mean Only Albert Einstein Of All Guitar.. Mr. Michael Schenker !!!

This was incredible, I was there! awesome, awesome show!

The master at his best! Just awesome to hear and watch him play his Flying V. He's a legend and can go on as long as he wants on any of his songs.

Been in awe of this guy since 1977 when I found out about him and since I saw him at the Atlanta Agora Ballroom (October 10, 1978), a few weeks before the Ron Nevison gem SITN was recorded in Chicago. He has not lost a thing. He has changed it up a bit, but jeez, who wouldn't. He is still amazing. Hope to see him soon for a third time...(saw him on this tour). Still a legend. Still amazing. The lead on this song is likely the best lead ever written for a hard rock song...cannot think of anything that compares.

Michael Schenker is the number ONe

The Greatest Song Ever

He has always been absolutely exceptional, one of a kind, he gets lost in the flow of the melody, he invents in the moment new licks and phrases but everything is so perfectly balanced, he experiments, everything goes far but always comes back to the main line and it sounds so clean as a classical symphony, it looks like he's playing something he wrote that way not a solo with variations born instantly on stage ...Genius guitar God 🤘🤘

Yeah he is a legend! His brother too, and we are proud of them! Greetings from Germany \m/

IS the best .... it is number 1. Always always MICHAEL SCHENKER!!!!!!!!! IMPRESIONANTEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! LO NUNCA JAMAS VISTO Y OIDO!!!!

Still #1 in my book! Mad Technician Bringin the Goods!

The most underated guitarist of all time love this guy so much. MSG Yeah right. 4 ever 👌🤘

I remember very clearly when this was Brand New, my Best Friend and I both bought it over the weekend and when he picked me up for school Monday morning we were both like “Man you gotta hear this”! ROTFLMSAO! Damn I’m getting OLD!🤣

I have to watch Michael everyday. 👌👍😎

Very exciting solo

Sensational! Absolute guitar god

ABSOLUTE LEGEND 💪

That's a bad ass guitar player. Saw him with UFO WAY back in the day. Life changing.

凄すぎる。 数あるスーパギターリストの中でぶっちぎりのギターリストだと思う。 日本にはこのようなギターリストは絶対にいないね。

20 minutes! Most players are done with a one minute solo. Schenker is God.

worlds greatest solo...IMHO

Thank you for sharing this! I live in Milwaukee but regrettably missed this show. I grew up listening to Michael and took for granted how amazing he is. So glad he’s still performing and I hope that I can see him live.

It was amazing as always!

Glad to see him once at least back in 2012,what a player...

Phil Mogg is sorely missed here

"THE" guitar players player hands down!

Proud MSG fan since first hearing them in 1982. Saw them in Palo Alto, CA in 1984. Snuck in on a fake ID. Have seen him MANY times since. Met Michael in 2015. Saw them again in 2018 in San Jose, CA. Only a couple hundred in attendance. Several dragging green oxygen tanks. It’s a trip to see fan base age like that. 🤦‍♂️

What a fantastic sound !

Legend Rocker. It is good to see him with Robin again. The best MSG vocalist ever

This is fucking amazing! Been following MSG since my dad said, "You've never heard of UFO?"

Thks for the Show ...upon the highest , always Me ...!!!

Terrific Schenker jam love it !

He is legend

Después de haberlo escuchado miles de veces, no deja de emocionarme. Gracias Michael. No sé tocar la guitarra, si supiese, me gustaría que sonase con sonido MSG.

I don’t think that Michael has played this solo two times the same way, but it is always brilliant because a guitar is just an extension of his body. His guitar can just put into sound what he is feeling at any given time, which is why Michael is one of the best ever. I have been a huge fan of his since about 1977 or so when I first discovered UFO. As a young guitarist at the time, I just couldn’t get enough of his playing. It’s a shame he has had such a rocky career because of substance abuse, he could have been even better, if we can imagine such a thing? I’m just happy he has made a comeback and I hope he has put all of his demons behind him, so we can enjoy his music for a while longer.

Killer Tune!!!!

Awesome video!!! From an I-phone- Ha! Love it!! UFO ROCKS, and this is undisputed proof! Good stuff!👍🎸🎼🥁❤️

I sure hope to see him! I have been listening to his work since I was 13. He wrote Rock Bottom when he was a kid. Played it with U.F.O and he actually wrote his older brother Rudolph's band Scorpions 1st album when he was about 16.

I love it!

That man rocks

When UFO came out way back when I thought who is that guitar player and I've been a fan ever since.

Simply awesome….

And you just reminded me of when MSG played Keystone Palo Alto. Glad we went. Just like this show but in a club. At the end I witnessed a Guitar God. Built to Destroy.

Maybe the best ever

Schenker is having a great time here.....

I think Michael has overcome his stage fright

que animal michael shenker lo mas de lo mas

Schenker stops himself before making a mistake, like runnning out of frets, when he improvises and turns it into a magic spell.

power of legend... Greated😊😊😊

Michael is 66, was the lead guitar player for UFO in the 70's-80's. I've seen him/them twice in the LBC.

Depois de 30 anos tocando essa incrível música, até eu que não sou músico tocaria sem olhar para as cordas. Tipo bater penalti: nunca errei um! (Garay, admitamos.... O cara é bão demais!). Inesquecível...!

KILLER version \m/

Amazing 🎸 🎸 👍 👍 👍

OK LOVE. to LOVE...

Michael was never a follower, only a leader. He tutored many Rock Hall of Famers.

Grande malha,Michael Shenker arrasa,tal qual o irmão,Rudolph, nos Scorpions,durante tantos anos!!!

Got to see UFO in 1977 or 78(can't quite remember) during the Strangers In The Night tour in Chicago. Glad i didn't miss out.

Genius

Aliás.... desde 1970 e lá vai pedradas..... naquele show com cabelos loiros compridos. Esse fera é bom mesmo!

What a legend MS would of liked to see him jam with the late Edward Van Halen RIP

Badass

MSG!! Love it!

Well..Patriot place Foxboro Ma. A place called Showcase Live. I stood 2 feet from Schenker . Best show of my life!

Old school Best..

Although in the top 3 guitaristes on this planet,RIPN huw Lloyd langton ,he has never bettered the version of this song on the lights out album.

Just fucking awesome!

Schenker〜. Come to Japam! We all are want you!

the melodic master in the zone

♥️ 🤘😎🎸

That track is like no way .heavy classic riff melodic solo from the gods. The whole band is kicking ass. Try the studio version please.

เยี่ยมมาก

King of pentatonix ❤❤❤

pretty damn good for 66 wtf!!! damn!

ひっぱりすぎw 最高でした！

Real Rock Stars

Now imagine if Michael had been with UFO for the first two albums as well, with the long solos on those and the space rock focus. If Schenker actually liked space rock there would be some amazing solos for the long interludes on most songs. Nonetheless, we should be glad we could still see him rock out the classics anyway! Really hope to see your band in Scotland soon Michael!

Rock on

You know what I missed a concert I was suppose too go too !!it was like a state fair in Arizona !!!but I couldn't go causei got in trouble

Always a UFO/MSG fan...Michael Schenker is GOD!

Probably the greatest improviser in rock history.

One of the greatest pkayers ... NOT only 🤮
