Really good video quality for 1989.

@mystereojones Thanks. Shot on a (heavy) professional-grade Sony CCD chip camera from way back in the last row of the theatre (thus the shake).

Was this a solo show or when they opened for Deep Purple?

In any case, I was there. They also played a killer show over at the IC Light tent with Kix and Badlands. That one kicked!

[somethingididlongago]

They actually opened for Bad Company (Brian Howe as replacement singer). Another poster said Deep Purple was the main act but but we interviewed both bands and shot one song from each band that night so I know for sure Bad company was the headliner.

How do people not like guitar solos, they can be the part of a song that completely pushes the song to the next level. They are so important to music creativity and in my opinion todays music lacks so much creativity and musicianship its almost not worth listening to any new music. I will listen to 70's and 80's rock till i die, there is no comparison to those decades. i'm 19 if anyone else is around my age and likes those decades for rock message me or add me as a friend.

Great musicians no doubt....but I still hate the head-mic. lol

[BladeJones]

I can remember a time when to be a musician you had to practice guitar 12 hours a day until your fingers bled. Then you had to find 3 or 4 other equally dedicated and talented musicians to invest years into the project. Now you just get up on stage with headphones, play other people's stuff and twist a high pass filter knob.

@RoCk4LiFe90 Anybody that doesn't appreciate a guitar solo needs to have their heads examined.

[hardsixteenyeah1]

@mystereojones Yes, I'm totallly agree with you, man.

[vanhalen1975]

He makes it look too fucking easy. Hate this guy, only because I know i could practice nonstop for a lifetime and still be nowhere near as good. Easy one of the best there's ever been. I think he just replaced Van Halen as my guitar idol. Maybe.

Oh what I would give...
