Saw him in Kansas City a long, long time ago. AC/DC had to follow him on stage. Didn’t go that well for them.

I saw that tour in 1985 here in Oakland . Yngwie was technically great but he was no match for AC/DC . Angus tore the place apart with his energy.

Yngwie has some technical issues here but grabs another Strat and really lights the place up

Hahah funny part is around the 7:00 mark where he's playing the Deep Purple / Rainbow riffs... funny because down the road he would claim to not know who Richie Blackmore was / is or something to that effect

Did he say that early in his career , when some players try to deny their influences. I’ve read interviews where he’s mentioned Deep Purple as his favorite , the fireball album being a huge influence on him and getting to go over Blackmore‘s house in the 80s and play some of his guitars.

I would give my left nut to be able to offer him a donut.

He blew them off the stage in KC. We never saw anything like it. We came for AC/DC and they rocked, no doubt. They always do, but Yngwie left us speechless.

He definitely knew who Blackmore was. At his " clinic" ( lol, him ripping and leaving as fast as possible) he mentioned being able to play almost any DP purple song by the time he was 14. He's saying his solo style is his own... based on Pagannini and Vivaldi blablabla, you know the story of his greatness!

I bet Blackmore wasn't laughing about this photo.

Would’ve been amazing to see his concert in the early/mid-80s. I saw him live in 2006 with Doogie White on vocals and Derek Sherinian on keyboards and it was great. He’s coming to my country this summer but I won’t travel hundreds of kilometers to see him with his current band and especially how he pushes the other musicians to a narrow space at side of the stage.

I hear ya , I can just speak for the shows that I’ve seen here in the Bay Area . I’ve seen some pretty big bands open for AC/DC and none of them have come close to blowing AC/DC off the stage. That 85 show was my favorite of the bunch and Angus was just off the charts . Yngwie played a festival here also in 85 and again he was great but he didn’t dominate the other bands
