Man! What a great show! The year was 1992 and the concert was recorded in Anaheim, California on March 25 with a three piece line-up consisting of Michael Schenker and Spencer Sercombe on guitars and Robin McAuley on vocals.
The booklet contains very detailed information about the unplugged tour plus all song lyrics! The set list is very interesting too as the band played a few classic UFO tunes that actually sound really good in this format: "Natural Thing", "Doctor Doctor", and "Lights Out". I remember when I was listening to the album for the first time, I wasn't so convinced about an acoustic rendition of "Doctor Doctor", but this is a great version! It is as good as the original if not better!

The rest of the songs come from the McAuley-Schenker Group albums "Perfect Timing" (1987), "Save Yourself" (1989), and a self-titled one from 1992. Some of my favorite songs include the rocker "Gimme Your Love", and the ballads "What Happens To Me" and "Anytime". There's also a short instrumental called "Perrier" where Schenker plays a cool solo.

If you are a fan of Schenker, then you should check this one out. Even if you are not convinced, just get this one for the acoustic version of "Doctor Doctor"! It's great!
Thanks for taking the time to read!

I got to see the tour for this acoutic show on its US tour. Robin carried the show off very well and did a great job in doing the UFO tunes. The show had a very warm feeling to it and really connected with the fans.

MSG unplugged is an excellent CD, only compared to Scorpion's Acoustica (also a must) and Kiss MTV Unplugged.
Absolutely all the songs are worth it.
Buy it Now.

This is a great album; too bad it is too expensive (import) and hard to find; Doctor Doctor, Anytime and We Believe in Love are the best songs. I would recommend all MSG fans to make an effort and buy this album.

Anybody that loves Metal could get into these guys. I mean Micheal Schenker rocks! All the groups he has played with, Scorpions and UFO. Robin Mcauley has a great voice and he gives it his all. Anybody that likes them already will love them even more. They only have three Studio albums, so this one just makes it allUnplugged Live sweeter. Then they broke up what a shame but they were amazing!

THIS IS DIFFERENT FOR SCHENKER,IT`S VERY MELLOW BUT ALSO IT`S VERY GOOD.THIS IS LIKE A UNPLUGGED GREATEST HITS WITH ROBIN MCAULEY PLUS SOME OLD U.F.O. SONGS THROW IN.MCAULEY IS PROBABLY THE BEST SINGER MICHAEL SCHENKER HAS EVER WORK WITH AS FAR AS HIS RANGE GOES,EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A BIG DEPARTURE FROM HIS EARLY WORK.WITH THIS HE KIND OF VENTURED INTO POWER POP,BUT IT STILL HAS A HARD EDGE.IT`S JUST TO BAD THAT THIS IS AN IMPORT,BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE WON`T PAY 30 DOLLARS FOR ONE CD,BUT THIS IS A VERY GOOD LISTEN.MUST HAVE FOR ANY M.S.G. FAN.
