The Michael Schenker Group were founded in 1979 by one of rock’s greatest guitarists Michael Schenker,following his time in Scorpions and UFO. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1980 on Chrysalis Records, was hailed as a commercial and critical success.

 ‘Live & Ready: 1980 – 1984’, the recently announced 6 disc boxset, captures the live raw power and precision of the group in their formative years. “My whole life has been a journey of constantly developing as a guitar player”, Michael states and this box set is an essential part of that.

This boxset features four complete, career-defining shows across the years which, showcase the development and evolution of Michael Schenker’s performances. He adds,

“These shows and these recordings, they’re all part of what I did in my past, part of my development. It is what it is, part of my life and with good memories. And by the way, this box set, that’s what it’s all about too, that short period of time, ’80 to ’84. It was definitely a crazy and very fast-changing period of time. It’s hard to wrap my head around how fast we had to make changes based on circumstances, but that’s part of life.”

The live albums in the boxset are:

Manchester Apollo – 1980: The explosive debut tour featuring early classics, Nippon Budokan, Tokyo –1981: A legendary show captured at the height of MSG’s powers, Hammersmith Odeon – 1983: Recorded at London’s Hammersmith Odeon with special guests including Rudolf Schenker and Klaus Meine of Scorpions, available in its entirety for the very first time. Seibu Stadium, Tokyo – 1984: A powerhouse festival set showcasing MSG’s melodic metal mastery, with an additional DVD including the full visual concerts of Hammersmith Odeon – 1983 and Seibu Stadium, Tokyo – 1984.

The set is accompanied by a booklet featuring extensive liner notes by acclaimed rock journalist Martin Popoff and a brand-new interview with Michael Schenker himself, offering personal insights into the era, the band, and these legendary performances. The booklet also includes previously unreleased photographs.

Hoobastank came together in Agoura Hills, California, in 1994, when vocalist Doug Robb and guitarist Dan Estrin, who had known each other before facing off in a high school battle of the bands, decided to start a group of their own. They brought in drummer Chris Hesse and bassist Markku Lappalainen, forming the lineup that launched the band’s early years. Before the major label success, the group built a name for itself on the Southern California club circuit, playing venues such as the Cobalt Cafe alongside acts like Incubus and Linkin Park. In those early days, the band’s sound included

In the early 1990’s, Arrival (Long Island New York), brought forth the AOR/Arena Rock of the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s – Big harmonies and catchy choruses.  It is hard to fathom that an unknown, original band would aspire to write, record, and perform music in a style that was soon to be outmoded.

Live Review: Alter Bridge – Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham

5th March 2026
Support: Daughtry, Sevendust

Words & Photos: Tim Finch

The final night of a tour always carries a different kind of energy. When Alter Bridge rolled into Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena to close out their UK and European run, the atmosphere felt like a celebration. Fans packed the arena aware that this was the last chance to witness the band’s current set in full flight.

Opening the evening were Atlanta veterans Sevendust, who wasted no time igniting the crowd. Kicking off with ‘Black’ and quickly rolling into ‘Denial’, the band delivered their trademark blend of groove-heavy riffs and soaring vocal hooks. Frontman Lajon Witherspoon commanded the stage with effortless charisma, his voice filling the arena as the band tightened the screws with ‘Is This the Real You’ and the ever-reliable crowd favourite ‘Enemy’

As the set continued with ‘Praise’, ‘Crucified’ and the crushing ‘Face to Face’, Sevendust proved exactly why they remain one of metal’s most dependable live acts. The chemistry between the band members was obvious, and the band loved every minute, smiles ear to ear as they played (and Mark Tremonti watched on in the wings). For a band playing early in a stacked bill, they delivered a performance that could easily have headlined a smaller venue, leaving the Nottingham crowd thoroughly warmed up.

Next up was Daughtry, whose polished brand of arena rock provided a stylistic shift while keeping the momentum high. Opening with ‘Divided’ and ‘The Bottom’, frontman Chris Daughtry showcased the powerhouse voice that first brought him to global attention. His vocals carried effortlessly through the arena, particularly during the emotional sweep of ‘The Day I Die’ drawing a huge response from the audience.

One of the sets standout moments came with their cover of ‘Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)’ by Journey. The band gave the classic track a heavier edge without losing its soaring melody, and the Nottingham crowd enthusiastically joined in.

Closing their set with ‘Pieces’, ‘Over You’ and the punchy ‘Heavy Is the Crown’ the band finished on the newer material ‘Artificial’ which sat comfortably alongside the older favourites. Daughtry’s set started well but felt a little long as they neared the hour mark, a punchy half hour set in the sun with a beer at a festival would be the ideal booked for this band, through in a Journey cover and you’ve won the crowd over.

By the time Alter Bridge took the stage, the atmosphere inside the Motorpoint Arena had reached fever pitch, the whole bowl was full to capacity, as was the floor as the many thousands in the building waiting in anticipation.

Opening with the thunderous ‘Silent Divide’ the band immediately demonstrated why they’ve become one of modern rock’s most respected live acts. Guitarist Mark Tremonti and vocalist Myles Kennedy locked into their signature interplay, while the rhythm section powered through ‘Addicted to Pain’ and the epic ‘Cry of Achilles’.

The setlist pulled generously from across the band’s catalogue, including the riff-heavy ‘Playing Aces’ and the towering ‘Fortress’. Tremonti stepped forward to take lead vocals on ‘Burn It Down’ delivering a muscular performance that showcased his many varied talents.

As the set moved on momentum continued with the swaggering ‘Silver Tongue’ before the anthemic ‘Rise Today’ sent the arena into full voice. As the opening riff of ‘Metalingus’ rang out, the response was deafening, proof that the band’s early classic remains a cornerstone of their live repertoire or maybe there were a few Adam Copeland fans in attendance?

Of course, no Alter Bridge show would be complete without ‘Blackbird’ and the encore delivered exactly that. The epic track unfolded with breathtaking precision, its guitar work and Kennedy’s soaring vocals creating a spine-tingling moment that reminded everyone why the song has become such a defining piece of the band’s legacy.

They closed the night with the relentless punch of ‘Isolation’ bringing their UK and European tour to a triumphant conclusion. The band return in the summer, including a very special show at Cardiff Castle in June, grab your tickets for that now, as that will be a once in a lifetime experience!
