I had a bad feeling all day. And my fears came true. I just got back from the Scout Bar. Michael Schenker canceled the gig there. The person in charge at the Scout Bar said that he got on a plane yesterday and flew home. So, the rest of the tour may be in jeopardy as well. Call your venue for any upcoming shows and find out before you drive a long way.
I was so looking forward to this show. I even got my two Lonesome Crow LPs out to get them signed by Schenker. It would have been a great gig. Maybe he will reschedule. I hope everything is OK with Michael.
Update: Dallas (07/01/2007) was canceled too. Thanks Lindzee!

Hi...
Hate to tell ya this.. but Schenker actually showed up at Scout Bar about 10pm in a cab. No guitar, no band, just him.
A local band, The Slags, took the stage while Schenker signed autographs beside the stage. After about 20 minutes, he disappeared into the back of the club.
Before the the band's 3rd set, Schenker came out on stage with them and played a couple jam-type songs. They didn't seem to be UFO/Scorpion/Schenker songs. He played some great solos and seemed to be having a good time. Afterwards, I asked the lead singer what songs they'd just played, he said "I don't know, I was just making up words".
Schenker played a Dean Michael Schenker Signature Flying V that someone from Scout Bar had just purchased from the local Guitar Center's Midnight Madness sale.
While on stage, Schenker apologized for the mix up that led to the cancellation. The crowd was very enthusiastic.
