Tony MacAlpine and band perform "Tears of Sahara" on EMGtv 

This has to be the best sounding version of this song in my opinion. One of my favorite Tony MacAlpine songs. The whole Maximum security album is a Gold medal album.

Tony MacAlpine % 100 musician, underrated player... This is a song from heaven!

Awesome performance by ALL! Aquiles Priester…..one of my favorite drummers! I gave him a ride to his hotel before a gig years ago when he was on tour with MacAlpine, and he was so cool to invite me in for soundcheck, then gave me a pair of his signature drumsticks. Tony was very nice too and signed items for me too. Great times!

Amazing! Aquiles Incredible as ever! And Nili so talented!

Just two things to say, Tony & Nili!! So awesome!!!

Been listening to Tony Macalpine for 30 years and he was a beast back then. Congrats to Nili for being a part of this. Great tune. Every instrument compliments the next.

Nili is a definite contender for best female rock guitarist in the world . Goosebumps watching and listening to this ! Drums amazing too.

One of my favorite Tracks on Maximum Security such a awesome Guitarist and Keyboardist as well as a very nice person to chat with.

Nobody could play that part like George Lynch but Nili does a fantastic job in her own style, sounds wonderful

What a feelin’ in this Tony MacAlpine song, such precision, it’s outrageous! He’s one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. His technique and feelin’ are one-of-a-kind!

I hosted Tony back in the day at my music store for a guitar clinic. At the time, Tony was endorsing Hughes & Kettner amps. Never met a nicer guy and he had such a great sense of humor! Monster player! 👍

Four absolutely great musicians. It doesn't get much better than these four. Rock talent today is nowhere close to this level.

Vinnie Moore and Tony Mac Alpine,two of my favourite and tastiest of shredders.

Back in 88 I played the shit outta this album.(Maximum Security). This one of the best on the album. All are just so Melodic!! On the album George Lynch plays the part Nils is...Killer collaboration

When both guitarist are looking at their hands you know it's about to go down... Thank you for your art Tony, the world doesn't deserve you.

Apart from the music being great and bring me many memories, and also the fact that Tony is in another league, everyone in this band had improvements in their careers after being in contact with Tony. He makes sure that everyone around him is known for their merit. This is Tony. He doesn't want to be alone above all of us. Great human being! And that's why he will win all the adversities in his life.

This is one the songs that just take the wind out of you. Very melodic, technical and just damn awesome. Nili Brosh is amazing! She can totally keep up with Tony! Best pair on stage!

He's a melody master! Not word,can define this genius!

This definitely deserves more views. Tony is a legend and the band members here did a phenomenal job. All of them. Rebirth of a classic from my childhood

Killer Band!!! Tony n Nili shreds, Pete dropping the bass, and Aquiles just rips those drums.

after 30 years, still my favorite instrumental song

Never tired to listen this song every day.. Tony the gifted musician ..cheers

Nili Brosh, baby - BOOM. This clip has so much awesomeness going on, I can't even.

Great to see a classic 80's shred tune brought back to life, Maximum Security is full of soaring licks and emotional melodies.

Absolutely amazing emotive piece from a legend of metal instrumental guitar. His first album Edge Of Insanity is still a masterpiece💪🤘👊

A monumental display of Metal meets classical music! The best!

Aquiles Priester on drums !!! My favorite T Mac Alpine song.

God bless you Tony! So beautiful!

My all time favorite guitar player since 1986. I now play Bass and this man is nothing less than 100% total inspiration to me still. Be well Tony!

Tony MacAlpine..80s shred-rock living legend..veteran shred-rock icon.and,ALWAYS awesome!

Esta canción la escuchaba con mi padre hace muchos años y me recuerda a él, que aunque era de otra época la disfrutaba mucho, la buena música no tiene tiempo, como esta rola de Tony.

Nothing short of amazing how tony and nili harmonize

This is still one of the most beautiful guitar instrumental tracks I've ever heard. I really hope Tony and his wife are OK, and thank you for such beautiful music.

I keep coming back! This tune is so melodic and singable I bet many folks can sing all those solos just pure classics

@2:33 Those points in life when you cant express how beautiful life can be. What an amazing collection of notes beautifully played.

2019 and here I am still engrossed by the lovely melodic guitar works from the band !

Wow! Tony Macalpine is the man! He keeps doing music with feeling! He´s one of the few shred guitarrist loyal to that feeling! Repect!

From an era of many great guitar instrumentals, this is still one of the best IMO.

Tony MacAlpine is always the best G.O.A.T =Greatest Of All Time=Tony MacAlpine..Greetings from KK Sabah,Malaysia🇲🇾🇲🇾🤘🏼🤘🏼🇲🇾🇲🇾✌

That is still an awesome song, 27+ years on. Tony and the whole band really did it justice. Close to the original but with enough modern touches to keep it current. Well done.

this is the song that you hear either during or after doing something momentous like conquering the world or beating a really hard boss fight.

Saw the Amazing Tony MacAlpine and his awesome band last night at a small venue in Fayetteville, NC... absolutely unbelievable precision, unreal and such fluid shredding... truly a nice person, meet and greet, guitar signing, Such an honor to have finally met one of the all time greatest Guitar Gods!

F-ing MacAlpine is such a master musician. May not be as well known, but he's definitely a professor of the electric guitar. AND every bit as good on the keyboards as he is on guitar. Even among the alreay outstanding virtuosos from Shrapnel Records, he stood out.

I just want to point out the beautiful and talented Nili Brosh. Take note Nili dresses professionally for a gig vs the thousands of social media guitar girls that sell their bodies to get views instead of just letting their talent shine thru. You rock Nili!!!

I was in the Air Force in Iceland in 1987 and Maximum Security, Gary Moore and BeBop Deluxe got me thru that one year remote tour. Played in a band there and we had groupies coming to our rehearsals!

Been a T Mac fan since the beginning. The emotions are strong with this one.

undoubtedly the best instrumental ever recorded... absolutely beautiful and breathtaking...❤T-Mac

What a beautiful song... Tony is great!

The cancer diagnoses for him and his wife is so unfortunate and sad. I hope they can both fully recover. Bad things always seem to happen to the best people.

wish i could like this one every time i came back thanks EMGtv and hail to Tony and Nili 🖖🖖🖖🖖

This song has always been a favorite of mine from any genre. Mr. MacAlpine wrote a beautiful song that will last forever. Beautiful. I do enjoy the album original with George Lynch.

Masterpiece of music, not only a guitar masterpiece.

Tony I love your playing and compositions.So sad to hear about u being sick with cancer.Please get well soon.This is frm all your fans in Aizawl-Mizoram(India)

Yes!!!! Tony's back! I remember listening to him, Yngwie, Vinnie Moore & Paul Gilbert way back in the early 90's and knew he could shred with the best of them. So glad to see he's back.

One of the best songs from Tony, amazing!!

Great song Loved it for years. Aquiles Priester talento latino papá!

Soundscapes. Amazing melodies. God-given talent. Hope he's doing well!!!!!

That's been one of my favorite instrumentals for decades. It holds up very well over time. Just a great piece of music. The current band did a great job with it. Great musicians.

Since the day I picked up Maximum Security on vinyl, I can't stop listening to this track! Decades later, Tony and team can still breathe new life into it and keep making it better and better. Fantastic performance!

Keep strong Tony, we need your music!

Damn so much talent on that stage. Incredible!!!

listened to tonys playing since my 20,s what an incredible musician.this song brings tears to my eyes,the band are brilliant,and both guitarists compliment each others playing.,with such emotional solos.truly pray to god that tony and his wife can both beat cancer,such a sad thing to happen.

I’m so glad Tony is doing well!❤

EMGtv really captures it's featured artists sound. Impressive sound

Love tony, miss him loads being about, such a talent. Great drummer too.

I watched this video too late. A night of nostalgia brought me here. After some videos of Tony, I decided to watch this video. I will say this: Tony is still the best... And let's don't forget Nili. When I watched the first few seconds without reading the description, I thought at that moment, it could be Nili Brosh, the guitarist wearing the skirt. And Bingo. Two great players at the same stage... And Nili, keep going solo and take your place in the hall of fame of the greatest guitar players...

Absolutely fabulous!! Ever since I first discovered Tony back in 1988 on Z-ROCK Radio, I was instantly hooked!! He has since then been my favorite all time guitar player hands down! His melodies on guitar are unmatched!! He does for guitar what ABBA does for vocals!! He is simply the best!

Now me, pure nostalia, I fucking Love that 80s sounds! Amazing.

One of the best guitar player in the WORLD!

OMG! Just perfect! The girl playing along with him... Awesome!

Man, I remember first seeing this dude in the back of a music store in Orlando doing a clinic back in '85 or '86 He was super cool and blew me away. This is awesome stuff. Me likey.

Praying for both you and your wife.

As a guy with no love for hard rock (even when melodic, neo-classical, highly skilful, etc.), I find the off-scale note Nili briefly emphasizes at 2:17 to be quite exquisite.

Tony's sense of melody will always be so close my heart

oh my god ! ... im just blown away ! i think im going to cry !

At 0:36 I love the way Tony looks at Nili and says with no words: "Hey let's make some energy here" :)

Wow marvellous performance !!! Thanks Tony and great band !!!!

The composition of the song is beautiful. Thumbs up to the babe on guitar as well.. Tony is brilliant as always.

Some of the finest rock musicians anywhere on the planet. Only the good Lord can bestow talent like this in a person. Incredible.

Amazing! Tony's great as usual but Nili is his perfect guitar partner and she is also building a brilliant solo career.

He's great...I love that he he doesn't present himself with that stupid mouth opening screaming in ecstacy b.s. he just lays it down and the girl too. They're reserved and it's refreshing to watch.

Absolutely MESMERIZING! What feeling and emotion that comes through! CHILLS!

This is one of the songs, one of the melodies that will stand the test of time! Absolutely timeless forever! Thanks Tony and all the other so very talented musos playing on this one!

Talk about purrrrrfect sound and tight chops: y'all have'em both. Great Rock song. Keep up the great work you are doing. Fantastic mix and master.

Тони!!!!Мастер гармоний!!!!Браво

The drummer was able to fit in almost all the fills he wanted....in case you missed it. Love this track. Great melodies.

Tony i love your music! God bless you

Love the harmonies. Imagine having to be his rhythm player

I used to jam this tune a LOT back in the day. I think I have to find that box and pull out some CD's. Looks like it's Tony time in the car for a while. Probably some other killer shit in that box as well. I may have the entire 80's Shrapnel catalog in there. Awesome job on this, the band was superb.

Incredible song. It never gets old. Every time I hear this song, I get goose bumps. Thank you Tony for this wonderful gift. Amazing hands too.

Toni ` I Love youre Play since1997 ...Best Wishes, Mike

It seems to me that Tony doesn't always get the respect and recognition he quite obviously deserves. Like with some of those "all-star" collaborations he's done with other musicians. I've seen several in which his role is seemingly nothing more than a background rhythm section, and his name never even gets mentioned. That is just not right, and it really pi$$es me off. Tony was among that first mid-80's wave of brilliant techno-shredders to follow in the wide and influential wake of The Viking. Guys like Jason Becker, Vinnie Moore, Paul Gilbert, etc. But to say he "followed" is one doozy of a misnomer, because (lest we forget) he also has the skills of a concert pianist. So… the way I see it, Tony doesn't have to take a backseat to ANYONE! Nor should he be expected to...

increíble,sin duda alguna unos de los mejores conciertos a los que he podido ir es al de Tony MacAlpine con Aquiles Priester en la bateria,.

I already love the change in the phrasing on the melody from the original. I want to hear the Vinnie Moore recording with this as well. I remember absolutely being amazed by Tony MacAlpine when all the Mike Varney shrapnel wars were going on.

WOW!!! I just discovered Tony MacAlpine's music an hour ago and he is already in my top 3 guitar players of all time.

3:29 THIS is professional, she makes a mistake no one hears, and you cannot see it in her face. Well done.

Beautiful! Love the perfect unison work and nice pickup tone too!

I love this song. I respect Tony.

FANTASTIC,ALL OF THEM PLAYED GREAT.

How many of U have heard this more than once??
