Yngwie J Malmsteen - I'll See the Light Tonight Universal Studios Hollywood The Adventures of Conan

Yngwie Johan Malmsteen filmed his 1985 music video for "I'll See the Light Tonight" on the stage of The Adventures of Conan: A Sword & Sorcery Spectacular show at Universal Studios Hollywood theme park. The production featured various characters, special effects, and a fire-breathing dragon to create a captivating visual experience.

Construction of The Adventures of Conan: Sword & Sorcery Spectacular at Landmark Entertainment began in 1982 and officially opened to widespread acclaim on June 18, 1983. With a total budget of $5 million, the production premiered in the Castle Theatre in the Upper Lot (Entertainment Center) at Universal Studios Hollywood. Before this show, the venue was home to Castle Dracula, which closed in January 1983.

The Conan spectacular continued to entertain guests until early 1994. It was then succeeded by Cinemystique: Illusions of the Night, featuring the Pendragons in celebration of Universal Studios Hollywood's 35th Anniversary during the Hollywood Nights event. This was subsequently followed by Beetlejuice’s Rockin' Graveyard Revue.

Yngwie Johan Malmsteen, originally named Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck and born on June 30, 1963, is a distinguished Swedish guitarist. He gained recognition in the 1980s for his neoclassical technique within the heavy metal genre and has produced 22 studio albums throughout a career that spans over four decades. In August 2009, Time magazine honored Malmsteen as the ninth greatest electric guitar player.

After forming Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force, his band released the album Marching Out in 1985. Subsequently, Malmsteen brought on Anders Johansson, Jens Johansson's brother, to play drums, and Marcel Jacob was the bassist for recording sessions and tours. During a tour, Jacob departed and was replaced by Wally Voss. In 1986, Malmsteen released his third album, Trilogy, which featured Mark Boals on vocals while Malmsteen handled both guitar and bass duties. Midway through the tour supporting Trilogy, Boals left the band and was succeeded by former vocalist Jeff Scott Soto.
