The show started at around 8.20.

1. A Secret History : They beat Coheed and Cambria as the gayest band I've ever seen. There were white chicks wooing after every song of theirs, and they left after this band finished playing.
2. Throttle : They were pretty good. Some good riffs and hooks in their songs.
3. Doug Doppler : Very interesting. It was a one-man show and quite a good one at that. His only band mate on stage was his pedal board.
4. MSG : They rocked the Key Club!!!

1. The Ride
2. Cry For The Nations

3. Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
4. Armed And Ready

5. Are You Ready To Rock
6. I Want You
7. Night To Remember
8. Into The Arena

9. Lost Horizons
10.Rock My Nights Away
11.On & On
12.Attack of the Mad Axeman
Encore:
13.Gypsy Lady
14.Doctor Doctor

15.Rock Bottom

A guest vocalist came out to sing Doctor Doctor which was the highlight of the show!!
The rest of the setlist speaks for itself, so I'll just say I'm really glad to have seen a guitarist like Michael Schenker perform these songs. The other members specially Rev Jones and Gary Barden were really great to watch too and it was a lot of fun interacting with them standing in the first row.

I took a couple of videos too and I'll post them soon.
Edit : The guest vocalist was Robin McAuley (thanks to Ravenheart for the info).

chances of this tour successfully completing all dates? 500 to 1? 1000 to 1?

Who cares .. I got my show

And the shows were rescheduled because of Michael's visa problems. Now obviously he has the visa so there shouldn't be a problem.

He's cancelled more than 1 tour

Definitely not him. UFO are on tour in Europe and were playing in Brighton that night.

Oh I see .. I asked one elderly looking guy, thinking he must have known for sure. He said it was Phil.

Always either because of Visa problems or some mad ex-wife trying to sue him.

It was probably one of the other former MSG singers.

Edit: hahaha. Just looked at your photos. That old dude thought THAT was Phil!? Hahah, he's got about 300 times more hair than Phil!

This is Phil: http://www.strangers-in-the-night.com/philpeacev.jpg

I'd say it's Robin McAuley.
