That's the show I'm talking about! Did you see him at the Jazz Cellar?
man for those of us who saw him in his early years live, enjoy the memories comrades.
seeing him when he first joined alcatrazz, and then early on his first rising force tour, then marching out and trilogy. those were the peak years imo.
hard to explain how radical he was when he burst onto the scene but he was truly mind blowing.
i met him on the marching out tour in a small rock club in hawaii after his gig opening for dio at the blaisdell center.
i saw him walk in with his girlfriend and i believe i squealed like a schoolgirl and soiled myself.
me and my best friend sat with him for about an hour at a table making small talk. i was totally star stuck because as a totally rabid fan of 80s electric rock shred guitar at that time, he was IT. and he was super cool to us at that time. signed an autograph and left but had to come back because he forgot his sunglasses which yes he wore at night!
Donuts back stage and white spot lights front stage for every show for now on. The comedy will be better than the music.He's been complaining about the white lights for at least 10 years now. I'm starting to think it's all part of the show, where he wants people to think he looks cool snapping at the lighting techs.
Either that or literally every venue has been trolling him
bingo brah! da spot in the 80s.That's the show I'm talking about! Did you see him at the Jazz Cellar?
After that he went for the hits . Less hard hittingI have yet to hear anything from Guthrie that wow'ed me. Though to be fair I haven't heard much..
I don't get the Shawn Lane comparisons that I see people often make when talking about Guthrie.
But for Yngwie, I think 1986 was when he was an apex predator at his pinnacle peak.

Let's just take a minute to appreciate him back when he actually cared about the quality of his band and actually played WITH them. He's ripping here. Love the ferociousness and tempo. He was bringing it in the 80's. I think this is post accident so he might have been better before but still sounds extremely clean here compared to anything in the last 20 years.
How'd Doro look?I saw Yngwie when he opened up for Dio. I was a teen then. My mom was nice enough to drop me and a friend off at the show and pick us up when it was over. We saw Doro Pesch open for Yngwie, then Yngwie came on. Completely star struck in awe. After Yngwie was done, we had been standing and not moving for like 5 hours straight by that time and couldn't take it anymore so I called my mom to pick us up. So we left before Dio came on....
.....we didn't know who Dio was at the time......

Sexy as hellHow'd Doro look?
Hooooo Braddah Cuz, I got to see him at a small club in PDX on that first Rising Force tour and it was just face melting. Badass and then some...I’ve seen him a couple times since then but it’s never been on the level of that first show. Few things ive seen compare to that actually, I think it was all still so new and over the top that the ‘WTF Factor’ was strong like li hing mui or Zippys Wahiawa at 2:00 am.

Yngwie now claiming Soto was thrown out because he snuck in and didn’t pay cover....
