│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Graham Bonnet, Yngwie Malmsteen, Gary Shea, ║ │
│║ Jimmy Waldo and Jan Uvena shine on Alcatrazz ║ │
│║ live recording from 1984 Japan tour. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Alcatrazz was a relatively short-lived American ║ │
│║ rock band (1983-87) that made a lasting ║ │
│║ impression on the music world. It was with ║ │
│║ Alcatrazz that former Rainbow singer Graham ║ │
│║ Bonnet restarted his career after a very brief ║ │
│║ stint with Michael Schenker Group. It was here ║ │
│║ that young Swedish guitar wizard Yngwie ║ │
│║ Malmsteen got his big break (and was then ║ │
│║ replaced by another wizard, Steve Vai). ║ │
│║ Alcatrazz was also home to New England and ║ │
│║ Warrior members Gary Shea and Jimmy Waldo as ║ │
│║ well as former Alice Cooper drummer Jan Uvena. ║ │
│║ Last yearÆs partial Alcatrazz reunion in Japan ║ │
│║ (featuring Bonnet, Shea and Waldo) reminded us ║ │
│║ how great this band is. This live album, ôLive ║ │
│║ in Japan 1984ö, is another great way to look ║ │
│║ back at a terrific rock band and its legacy. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The ôLive in Japan 1984ö album was recorded at ║ │
│║ Nakano Sun Plaza in Tokyo in January 1984 and ║ │
│║ the album contains the complete gig. Alcatrazz ║ │
│║ was a popular band in Japan and on this live ║ │
│║ album we get to sample some of that magic. With ║ │
│║ Gary Shea (bass), Jimmy Waldo (keyboards) and ║ │
│║ Jan Uvena (drums) laying the foundation of ║ │
│║ AlcatrazzÆs music, at the centre of it all is ║ │
│║ that familiar, characteristic Graham Bonnet ║ │
│║ voice. It is instantly recognisable. We also get ║ │
│║ treated to some splendid guitar solos by Yngwie ║ │
│║ Malmsteen. Personally, I think that YngwieÆs ║ │
│║ contributions to Alcatrazz were his career ║ │
│║ highlights. As a solo artist he often gets ║ │
│║ carried away, but when he played in Alcatrazz he ║ │
│║ got to shine without overdoing it. His guitar ║ │
│║ work on this live album û especially on ôEvil ║ │
│║ Eyeö, ôKree Nakoorieö, ôComing Bachö, ôGuitar ║ │
│║ Crashö and the traditional Japanese song ôKojo ║ │
│║ no Tsukiö û is sheer brilliance. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ We get three Rainbow classics (ôSince YouÆve ║ │
│║ Been Goneö, ôAll Night Longö and ôLost in ║ │
│║ Hollywoodö) as well as a Michael Schenker Group ║ │
│║ song (ôDesert Songö), but the bulk of the set is ║ │
│║ made up of Alcatrazz classics such as ôToo Young ║ │
│║ to Die, Too Drunk to Liveö, ôHiroshima Mon ║ │
│║ Amourö, ôNight Gamesö, ôIsland in the Sunö, ║ │
│║ ôSuffer Meö and ôBig Footö. Many of the songs ║ │
│║ here are still being performed by the Graham ║ │
│║ Bonnet Band today. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The production of this live album is û ║ │
│║ thankfully û quite raw and real. This is more ║ │
│║ like an ôas isö recording rather than one of ║ │
│║ those polished ôlive albumsö with tons of studio ║ │
│║ overdubs. It makes it more real and a great ║ │
│║ documentation of what Alcatrazz sounded like ║ │
│║ live on stage back in the day. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ AlcatrazzÆs album ôLive in Japan 1984ö is out ║ │
│║ now in Japan via Ward Records. It is being ║ │
│║ released in various formats including CD, LP, ║ │
│║ DVD and Blu-ray. Graham Bonnet will tour Japan ║ │
│║ again from 29th August until 5th September with ║ │
│║ Michael Schenker Fest. ║ │
