Rockframe has shared the video below along with the following introduction: "Recorded on January 24, 1981 at the Markthalle in Hamburg for German TV's legendary Rockpalast series, this concert captures the MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP at a pivotal moment. After leaving UFO and the Scorpions, guitarist Michael Schenker formed MSG in 1979, and this show features nearly the entire debut MSG album, in almost the same running order, alongside two of the greatest songs he wrote during his UFO years: 'Doctor Doctor' and 'Rock Bottom'." "The line-up captured here is considered by many fans to be MSG's finest: Schenker on guitar, Gary Barden on vocals, Chris Glen on bass, Paul Raymond on keyboards, and legendary drummer Cozy Powell — who had already made his name with Rainbow and would go on to play with Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, and Gary Moore. Powell's powerful drumming anchors this performance, widely regarded as one of the standout shows of his career before his death in 1998." Setlist: "Armed And Ready" "Cry For The Nations" "Victim Of Illusion" "Natural Thing" (UFO cover) "Feels Like A Good Thing" "Into The Arena" "Rock Bottom" (UFO cover) "Looking Out From Nowhere" "Lost Horizons" "Doctor Doctor" (UFO cover) "Lights Out" (UFO cover).
