Planet rock hada review of the Michael Schenker gig in Swansea 11.2.08.

We are in Attack of the Mad Axeman and Schenker has already done one solo. Then he tries his hand at slide guitar playing. The roadie hands him the glass slider but Schenker is unhappy with the guitar and tries to change the settings. The roadie changes them back as Schenker is playing. Wrong move my friend. Schenker struggles with the slider then takes off the guitar and throws it away, storming off the stageinto the wall. The rhythm section loop while the singer looks forlorn at the stage exit door. The roadie wires up the reserve guitar. Then Schenker returns and picks up the original guitar; the roadie struggles to unplug the reserve and plug the mains into Schenker's guitar. We then get a minute of blistering guitar work that only a few of the very best can do. Then, the fuse blows again and Schenker throws the guitar at/to his roadie, who is wisely hiding behind the cabs and then Schenker is gone. The band play on a bit then they too leave.
