Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force - June 15, 1985

So Yngwie Malmsteen is the artist - the album name is "Rising Force" - not the band. Kind of an interesting way of doing it. The idea of concept albums weren't new by this point, but the reverse emphasis on the album for touring promotion is novel. I'm not a guitar guy at all and was not a fan in 1985. However, today I can appreciate this. Not my favorite by any stretch, but certainly not awful as I had imagined then. Billy Sheehan is a "bass playing virtuoso" so this show was for the musicians.
