Also Adrian updated his web site. He also appeared at Uli Jon Roths recent show. 'Uli Jon Roth And Friends' Concerts. The concept of Sky Academy was conceived by Uli. He wanted a medium to teach his own unique approach to musicians wanting to take their playing to that next level.

Uli performed two concerts, titled "Uli Jon Roth and Friends", in conjunction with his Sky Academy Seminar. Uli played lots of SCORPIONS and playing tribute to many classic bands, such as CREAM, JIMI HENDRIX, THE DOORS, and others.

Commented Galysh:

"This year's concerts went very well, with a great venue (Musician's Institute Auditorium), great sound, amazingly talented special guests, and of course Uli Jon Roth and his remarkable band.

"Besides getting to play guitar alongside Uli on some classic SCORPIONS tunes, specifically 'Pictured Life', 'Fly To The Rainbow' and 'In Trance', some highlights of the weekend for me were witnessing singer Mark Boals wail on 'Sails Of Charon', 'Child In Time', and 'Catch Your Train'... he is an absolutely amazing singer, whose range and power has to be witnessed in person! It was also great to meet and hear Robbie Krieger from THE DOORS, who played some classic DOORS numbers. A special treat for everyone was hearing my old friend Johnny Hiland, a country picker from Nashville, play along with Uli Jon Roth on 'Down, Down, Down' and 'Mercury Blues'... what a contrast of styles, but they are both such good listeners that they really complimented each other. Paul Gilbert brought the house down with some great renditions of the JIMI HENDRIX tunes 'Purple Haze', 'Highway Chile', and 'Foxy Lady'. Again, such a contrast of styles between Uli and Paul, but the results were very musical.

"All in all it was great to see some old friends, meet new ones, and get to jam with some very talented musicians. Everyone involved was so nice, what a great hang... it's events like this that remind me of why it's so fun to be a musician."
