At the begining of the soundcheck they're playing the song "In The Dead Of Night" by the band U.K. which featured Allan Holdsworth on guitar in the album version, about 8 years later Yngwie recorded a cover of this song and released it in his 1996 album named "Inspiration"
@@therealandrecorbin4050Helstar rules! I remember the song Burning star from your first album I think,so long ago.I also had A distant thunder and Nosferatu on cassette.I found Nosferatu on cd,I love your music!
I was surprised by that, and then the whole band did "In The Dead Of Night" by U.K. (Allan Holdsworth, Bill Brufford, John Wetton and Eddy Jobson)! Now that's my Kind of music.
I got to see him at the Crest theater in Sacramento in 1987 with wild dogs opening, Dallas with Billy Sheehan second, and yngwie malmsteen headlining. Had Jeff Scott Soto on vocals. Wild dogs had Dean Castronovo on drums!!!! One of the most memorable concerts I've ever been to. But actually Billy Sheehan stole the show!!! 😝
Speaking as a youngin, even with all of these mathrock tappers and sweep pick flaunters, once you discover Yngwie, the chills still come and always will. 🤟
More Americanised and boring. Jeff Scot Soto was the man. Shame that Yngwie apparently boned his lady and earned himself a busted jaw for the privilege. Whether or not that's true is open for debate but Jeff was a vocal force of nature.
Amazing player, saw him years ago and I'll never forget him balancing a strat on the side of his Marshall string side down until it rocked back and forth making a police siren sort of feedback sound blasting loud!!! Crazy stuff!
Yea The 1988 Odyssey Tour with Yngwie of Course on Guitar along with Joe Lynn Turner - Vocals, Jens Johannsson - Keyboards, Barry Dunaway- Bass & Anders Johansson - Drums. Yngwie & TheBand playing "In the dead of night " before he recorded it on his 1996 " Inspiration " Album...So Cool !
@@christervainio This. While Yngwie had studio success with former Rainbow singers Graham Bonnet and Joe, live they kinda sucked. Graham was always a half tone flat on the high notes and Joe seem more interested in tits and ass than putting on a good show.
@@christervainio Marching Out for me too. Odyssey was a good album but too commercial. The 2 best tracks on this album was Rising Force and Riot in the Dungeons 2 tracks written in Sweden.
I jumped over a guardrail in Phoenix on this tour to get a pick he threw, almost got thrown out. I still have the pick and the ticket stub today. I win.
Why jump? He threw hundreds on every show! At this time in Germany I was wondering, how they could make any money, playing in front of audiences of maybe 1000 people? Anyways, at this time, he was on top of guitar players and the Johannson brothers were fantastic! Only thing he kept and improved is his asshole attitude.
GREAT footage of Yngwie backstage......Did you hear what they were playing during the soundcheck ? .....UK's IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT featuring ALLAN HOLDSWORTH (who was a great inspiration to young Yngwie even if he doesn't play or sound like him.
@@RickNBacker Its interesting actually....Both Allan & Yngwie were re-designing the way guitar is played to sound like other instruments.... Allan Holdsworth was making it sound like a Saxophone & Yngwie Malmsteen was making it sound like a VIOLIN. They were both doing something revolutionary with guitar but in DIFFERENT ways. Allan the plucked instrument you BLOW and Yngwie the plucked instrument you BOW.
@@gilbertp.9851 Listening to it now, idk if I got into it before but fuck yes, repeating bits of the solos and shit, sick. The riff like a minute in is extremely familiar.
He had such great band members back in those days.everyone in the group was awesome and really contributed , and that just highlighted his playing so much more. Jeff Scott , Joe Lynn tuner and off course the great Graham Bonnett!
It's so good to see Yngwie inspired by the rock stuff. He has pure joy in this time and emanates R&R energy. He is definitely looking for ideas playing some riffs instead of those nonsense quick phrases he puts everywhere today.
Well if I am correct, this was just after Yngwie had had a terrible year in 1987. Dude was is a coma from a car wreck, his mother sadly passed while he was in it, lost his house in an earthquake in California, and apparently his manager ripped him off of his money at the time.
Half correct, his mother passed a few months after his coma, but his manager ripped him bare at the same time. The earthquake didn’t destroy his house but he left California because he didn’t like the idea of them. Can recommend the autobiography. Great book, crazy read.
I love the Rising Force period of Yngwie, and the fact that he brought the baroque element into hard rock, but if I could choose any instructor for one-on-one lessons, it would be, hands down, Paul Gilbert.
HAH. Holy FK Yngwie playing Zappa back stage! 2 of my biggest guitar heros ever. I've met Yngwie quite a few times over decades. My friends band opened for them once in mid 90's. I never would have guessed that, else i would have Totally brought it up for conversation. That's nuts man I'm tripping on that hard right now.
Saw him with Alcatraz at Gram Central Station was completely blown away some of the best playing he did in my opinion but that was my introduction to his playing. It was right after he was in Steeler. Me and George Manos from tuff stood on a table five feet or so from the stage was blown away Graham forgot the words during jete to jet Malmsteen was pissed but flawless the showmanship and playing was beyond memorable.
however, indeed he is... though definitely he was not back then, especially during the Rising Force-Trilogy era. But nowadays' Yngwie is the exact opposite: sloppy, predictable and ultra boring.
@@H270127 I lost interest after the Facing the Animal Album. But I recall clearly that his haters always said that he is just fast and has no feeling. So what is the purpose of such debates?
Yngwie 's personal Luther used to be my good friend ( I actually rented the apartment at his shop where Yngwie 's guitars are fixed & the REAL scallops are done) and I used to see Yngwie in street clothes all the time.
In the late 90s I went to see Yngwie for his Inspiration tour at a small bar near Minneapolis. During a break I went to take a piss and guess who sidled up in the next urinal? Yep.... that guy! I broke the "urinal code" because I was so star struck and said "Great Show!" he said "Thanks!"
Yngwie playing rhythm guitar and chuck berry licks in the dressing room! And it sounds REALLY COOL!Yngwie should have chosen a different path, instead of excessive noodleling harmonic minor over and over again
@@neobes Kinda crude, but I'll never forget that camel toe in those black leather pants haha. We hosted her for an in-store autograph thing in Tampa later and Chris Holmes was with her.
@@ericjenkins2737 That is awesome! That cameltoe was worshipped on MTV! I drove down to Thoroughbred Music in Tampa around this time and bought a guitar I have to this day.
@@ericjenkins2737 That's some sweet gear! I remember my Thoroughbred salesman, Chris Noth, said he talked Steve Vai into doing an in-store in Tampa because they sold so many Ibanez JEMs for him.
@@dadude7 I dont think so, personally. You can download any of his bootlegs from the Alchemy tour, or even his Live in Seoul Dvd. His playing was hauntingly good there, just as amazing as he was at the early 80s, but obviously his tone changed over the years. Also, the the Full Shred version of Far Beyond the Sun is probably the best he ever played of ALL versions.
The only enemy of Yngwie Is his Ego ,but even that he's the only Survivor on playing Fender Stratocaster with 3 singlecoils like Ritchie Blackmore on the past,since 1980 many guitar players begun using Humbuckers on the bridge like Ed Van halen ( R.I.P) and the Floyd too but the difference was this other players installing the HSS plus the Floyd ,Eddie used the Humbucker pickup on the bridge and later on 1988 i think so Switch to HH , Yngwie on the past posed for guitar magazines with a Gibson stratocaster with Humbucker he keep loyal to the SSS pickups and the standard tremolo .
I've read many comments and heard many players say that Yngwie should have been a big star. He should have been as big a star as Eddie Van Halen. Yngwie is without a doubt one of the best guitarist of all time. But, without good songs, you don't become a big star. At the end of the day, you can be the most awesome player in the world, but if you are not applying that skill to a good song, then you are only going so far. Blackmore, Iommi, Van Halen all created good songs and played accordingly. Steve Vai was just another young obscure virtuoso with some success with Zappa and Alcatrazz until he made a record full of good rock n roll tangible songs with DLR. It's just the nature of the business. I have seen great players in tiny bars that would blow your mind. None the less amazing, however they were playing cover songs. It is not by coincidence that some of the most successful rock artist and bands of all time are not virtuosos. The really successful artist per capita are good to very good musicians that write good to great songs. At the end of the day it is all about the songs.
@@dominysynclair The first albums up to and including The Seventh Sign for me. After that the quality dipped and then in the mid-2000s they became unlistenable.
0:21 That sums up his attitude at that point in his career. I saw him at the Agora in West Hartford CT when Jeff Scott Soto was singing. I think that was 1986? Man, what a voice.
I saw this tour at Budokhan in Japan...I was in the nosebleeds and the sound was atrocious, but shredding was delivered!! The whole band was sick...Joe Lynn was adored by the japanest folks...it's fun to hear them try to chant "Yngwie"....it sounded to me like EEgay! EEgay!!! haha
