He does the intro to the solo just like Blackmore. Malmsteen was incredibly loud but looked like he was having fun. The audience was quite quiet but I think they were suffering concussion from the stupendous volume, particularly when he used his bass pedals. Observe his blinding speed and articulate finger work (including his little finger), his beautiful vibrato and his ridiculous arpeggios. Filmed from the far left with a Sony HX60. Please forgive my shaky camera work. At KK's Steel Mill, Wolverhampton, 3rd November 2023.
