Experience the raw power and precision of one of rock's greatest guitarists with this ultimate live anthology spanning the formative years of the Michael Schenker Group.

This 6-disc box set features four complete, career-defining performances:

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, previously only available on laserdisc in Japan. 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 exclusive 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.

Housed in a premium two-part rigid box, this release is designed not only for fans of Michael Schenker and MSG, but also for serious collectors of classic rock and heavy metal history. With its wealth of unreleased material and expertly curated content, this box set serves as both a stunning time capsule and an essential addition to any rock archive.
