Yngwie Malmsteen: Marquee club London 1985




I've just been going through some stuff in the loft, last week I moved 600 LP's... This week I found some old photos from my seeing Yngwie Malmsteens Rising Force in 1985. I scanned them so you could at least see te show from back then... I must have a cassette tape of the show as well. The show was jam packed and many of the people that turned up were expecting a secret Bruce Springsteen show as Bruce had arrived in the country earlier that week. Just before the live solo you can clearly hear some of the crowd singing "Bruce, Bruce... we want Bruce!" I was just blown away by the whole band and sheer musicianship. The pictures feature the original Rising Force line up, including Jens Johansson, Anders Johansson, the late Marcel Jacob (sadly missed) and Jeff Scott Soto.

At the recent Jason Becker Fest I caught up with Canadian mega guitar fan Mike Blackburn only to find that we had both been to the same show and had experienced the same fun around the Bruce Springsteen guest none appearence !
