Somebody should hook him up with an old 50W NMV Marshall head again, his sound is too 'preampy' now. I wonder if he ever listens to his old live recordings? Nice to hear he is working with Gary again, to me that's the MSG singer!
Thnx for sharing!

WAY better than last time! I thought he was at his peak with the work that included "Into the Arena".

That's my favorite MSG period too!
The band he had with Cozy Powell on drums was the best imo.
Check out these, with Cozy:

These are all from 24th jan '81 in Hamburg, that whole gig was broadcasted by RockPalast. Most of it is on youtube now.
Hence the difference in playing and sound, between now and then.....
