Lots of open dates, and that troubles me. Michael isn't known much for his ability to follow through on lengthy travels through the U.S. and this tour looks to be filled with consequtive nights in small bars and clubs. It could be a recepie for disaster and this is clearly not the larger venue tour they had in mind before when Uli Jon Roth and Leslie West tour.He's now paired up with Robin Mc Auley again, which means that I won't be seeking out this show like I was with the original tour package.
Mc Auley isn't even featured prominently with this latest album, so maybe someone figured out that latest vocalist Michael Voss is a bust.
Here's the press release:
"Michael Schenker, a true purveyor first-class hard guitar rock, released the aptly titled "Temple of Rock" on October 11 on CD, digital formats, and vinyl. He will now be touring with Robin McAuley in support of the album."

Did a little checking cause I really had no idea where Libertyville, IL was and it turns out it's a far north suburb. Far north as in your closer to the Wisconsin border than the city. Prices seem a little steep for a bar $30 GA. But there's a couple of other interesting options...for $40 you get in a half hour before the rest of the Schenker-heads and you get all the free beer you can drink for that half hour. Sounds good but theres also an $80 option that gets you a reserved balcony seat with free beer and mixed drinks all night (no shots though)! This seems like the best option if you want to really party Schenker style. All in all, while i'd like to see him, between the price of the ticket and the minimum 1 1/2 hr drive from my burb to this one, I won't be making this gig. Odds are Mike won't either though
