Paganini and Lord Bach smile on his every performance. Bravo, sir. I love his perfect high notes.

Seen him in 1984...he blew everyone away with his tone, speed, and compositons. He came out familiar sounding due to his own influences, and won us with being a larger than life rock star!..he had image, and his intensity was so aggressive. He threw his guitar around like it was an axe...serving as a sword as he claimed his new crown. It took a lot of time for most of us guitarists to collect ourselves back up off the cutting floor, and even today, 40 years later, we know who we will never be. Oh there are many after him..vinnie moore, steve vai, joe satriani, greg howe, jason becker, paul gilbert, J.P., jason richardson, etc, etc, but even to this day, malmsteen is like the dragon that many guitarists should savior from a safe distance...like an old tale hidden in the pages of your childhood story book....but in reality, he is still here...welding his axe...(a term that is only held by the greatest guitar slingers)...on his own terms.

Genius arrogance and perfection is how I remember him, a man and his music together in perfect harmony, thrilling and unpredictable, I bow down in gratitude for everything he has given us, a Swedish treasure

Met him in '84. Came into a club we were playing and stayed for over an hour! we chatted and had a grand old time! He signed my Strat with the connotation, "Play Loud" Very nice guy and phenomenal guitarist!!

The intro is a masterpiece. Perfect mixture of beauty & pain.

In January of 1989 Yngwie did two concerts in what was then Leningrad Russia ( Now Saint Petersburg ) and called it " Trial By Fire: Live In Leningrad. Over 32 years later It is one Yngwie's Best Live Concerts. I'm proud to say I still have both CD and VHS unfortunately I don't have it on DVD.

Malmsteen will be studied and remembered a century from now. The man is Bach with a Stratocaster

For me this is the greatest metal song ever written.

This guy was born to shine.

the best live version! what a lively, fresh, energic and wild performance!

Yngwie Malmsteen I'm Impressed With The World's Greatest Showman Guitarists Have Never Equalled.

Amazing musician and performer. Went to see him with my band's other guitarist back in '85 after we heard a 30-second radio spot promoting the tour. We drove home in silence, no longer feeling like young guitar hotshots. It was inspiring, eventually... after 2 weeks of severe depression, jealousy and awe. This guy's on another level and he's been there nearly 40 years.

The most brilliant guitarist ever. So fortunate to have seen him several times in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Still have guitar picks, drumsticks and many great memories.

Love him, hate him, there ain't nobody quite like yngwie!

I am fan since 85 great artist yngwie. Greetings from good old Germania

I have the First Yngie album Rising Force autographed & framed on my wall. One of the coolest album covers out there & the groundbreaking music was on another level. Been a fan since '85 when I was a freshman in High School. Wow, how the time passes

Damn this has always been my favourite concert and it will always be. It showed the world how a rock concert has to be.

Why doesn't this have 500 million views? A truly stunning piece of work.

such passion not only in his style and playing but in the music itself.. haunting yet beautiful,,,,,

Been listening to this since 2008 and I still get the same stun everytime I hear it just like the very first time, Yngwie you living legend, I appreciate your existence in my lifetime. ❤🙏

I love the start of this show he is for sure one of the best guitarists in the world.🙃

One thing about Yngwie Malmsteen concert is you get your money's worth that's for sure flawless

Mr Malmsteen, u have an 8yr old fan!!! Far beyond the sun - Yngwie malmsteen cover by PettyRock 8 Year old girl Thailand

A true master, a true god. The rising force himself!!

Yngwie M rules…!! His absolutely best song ever all categories is just this one: Far beyond the sun!! Listen and enjoy! This is universe's greatest guitarist ever. I mean he has so many skills that no one else has. He’s god at arpeggio’s, he plays so clear tones that no one else can come up with, and he’s so dedicated on what he’s doing!! It's just bow and bow and hats off to you Yngwie Malmsteen!👌

Ингви, ты самородок! Твори и исполняй шедевры, это останется мировой классикой! Браво МАЭСТРО! ✊🤝👏👏👏

I love this guy! He is nothing less than a virtuoso! The film crew need to keep in pace to keep this man's reputation intact.

Watched this a thousand times!!!!❤

Live In Russia . Phenomenal Performance . Classical , Emotional , Melodic , Accurate . 🎸🎼🎼🎼✨✨✨🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️

I have Live in Leningrad on VHS!!!

The opening of this song was the best that I ever watched, live in Leningrad really blowing my mind. The first video in VHS format that I ever had

You can't get guitar playing better then this . This is outstanding to say the least . I should never have sold my Fender Custom Shop Malmsteen Strat from 1987 . 🎸☮️✨✨🎼🎼🏄🎆

He is the first in this style, Master Malmsteen is an Icon.

YM changed everything about music for me and I am a drummer. I heard Rising Force when it was released and bought it immediately. This cassette changed everything about metal for me. After YM I was a fan of Vinnie Moore, David T Chastain and ofc Gilbert and Freidman... Cacophony. Tony McAlpine was also awesome! Some excellent drummers played on these recordings!

Damn. Legend.

The master !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it , never get tired off hearing this. I bought Live in Leningrad wayyyy back then , its worn out lol. Nice too see ppl starting too react too this, man they have been missing out for years. Better late than never i guess

Im shocked how good this is snd how he played every time i see it, and i've seen few thousand times.

Yngwie is The Legend.....Greetings from indonesia..

I agree with the last two comments. this man is out of this world.

As a fan of Rhapsody of Fire and Luca Turilli I'm ashamed to not know Yngwie Malmsteen sooner, he's clearly a big inspiration.

This is just perfection.

Perfect... There isn't a word in the dictionary to better describe this performance.

Best guitar piece of all time....live performance with no single mistake that I can notice.

That's great , stunning ! Without any words ! Malsteen is on forever and ever !!!

Tal vez el mejor guitarrista del mundo Estaba muy adelantado para su época Pienso que debería volver hacer magia con las seis cuerdas nuevamente 💥👏👏👏💥✊✊✊

The Best guitarrist in the world, my inspiration to play the guitar

High octane music. Love it!!

What a performance I love this !

One word: Masterpiece. Overall the song is great, not just Yngwies part.

Amazing! Yngwie guitar monster. 🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥🤘🤘🤘👍

Yngwie is on effing fire with a capital F... Don't recall seeing a performance of this energy, execution technical prowess etc from anyone at anytime, and I've been around.... Inspiring don't come close.

Ostentatious, flamboyant and brilliant. This is Malmsteen to me forever.

This man the GOAT!

Cool, the best! It`s a Great Bridge between mass heavy-metal music and the Great classical music - creative heritage of humanity! The best way to join the classical music - it`s Yngwie Malmsteen neoclassic-metal songs!

Jimi Hendrix, Edward Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, the 3 most influential rock guitarists who ever lived.

Yngwie malmsteen is amazing guitariste best guitariste of the world for m'y love it

This is probably one of the most iconic solo medleys in the history of guitar.......I can guarantee 99.99% of today's guitarist at one point wanted to achieve or copied this solo....the other 0.01% just don't know how to play guitar.

Perfect, woow,,, dia sudah sangat pantas disebut sebagai dewa gitar...

Guitar Lord....The melody and the story in his songs solo are incomparable with other solo guitarist. This man is unique and legendary.
