MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST - Resurrection (2lp) (2LP)

In 2016, Schenker put together MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST, a tour featuring former MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP vocalists Gary Barden and Graham Bonnet, plus Robin McAuley of the McAULEY SCHENKER GROUP. Instrumental back-up was provided by former M.S.G. bass player Chris Glen and drummer Ted McKenna, plus guitarist/keyboard player Steve Mann, also of the McAULEY SCHENKER GROUP. These shows were so rapturously received by audiences across Japan and Europe that it seemed only logical for the protagonists to make new music together. The decision to bring in Doogie White, singer of Schenker s TEMPLE OF ROCK, adds even more substance to Michael s assembly. - All of the album s participants appear in the album s tongue-in-cheek cover art, a biblical-style concept. Originally Michael wanted to call the album Michael Schenker Fest In The Studio with an album cover showing a big banquet table in a recording studio, waitresses with big bosoms, pints of beer and chunks of lamb in medieval style.
