Ron Keel formed the band Keel after the breakup of the band Steeler. Steeler was a band that featured both Ron Keel and a young Yngwie J. Malmsteen before he joined Alcatrazz. Somewhere around this time Ron Keel was temporarily in Black Sabbath. It's said that he recorded some demos with the band but they have never surfaced, unlike the Jeff Fenholt tapes.
Keel (un)luckily landed a contract with Kiss' Gene Simmons and $immons Records. Gene Simmons produced 2 albums for Keel before $immons Records folded. This lead to the need of a new contract. Being a young band any loss of momentum no matter how small can cost a lot. The world of Heavy Metal was moving at the speed of Speed and Keel kind of was left in the mid-ground they sold albums but never became big stars. Band members started shifting. At one point Ron Keel started a solo Country Music career. He now keeps the Country career along with a revamped Keel.

Now I'm not 100% positive that Yngwie J. Malmsteen played guitar at this show or not but the original up-loader named the line-up as if he was so that's what we are sticking with here. If so Malmsteen would be replaced soon by Steve Vai after an on stage fight with Graham Bonnet over Bonnet supposedly messing with Malmsteen's amp during his guitar solo. The problem actually being 2 stars who don't want to give up a bit of their spotlight. Too bad because it was a good pairing of talents all though I am more of a fan of Steve Vai than Malmsteen (this being based on the fact that as a Detroit musician I have had the chance of meeting both guitarists). My experience was Malmsteen was a bit of a jerk while Steve Vai was a real nice guy. Others may have had different experiences with both so...
