As Secret World neared it's release, Christmas 1984, it was decided that a band was needed to perform the album live. My fourth band, The Paladins was born. A remarkable group and my personal favorite looking back throughout my career (especially once my friend Tony Fischer came in a little later). The recording band was joined by bassist Bob Deikmeyer (far right) allowing Michael to strictly concentrate on recreating the guitar he played so brilliantly in the recording studio. A fine, fine group slightly ahead of it's time. A live Paladins CD is offered through the Alpha Sound Archive Series. Don't miss it.
