We can thank all the wusses at tje radio stations who played the Bee Gees day and night and the incredible UFO once a week. Even in the 70s when they were creating their fantastic albums, the radio stations would not play them. I was a DJ at WUOG in Athens, Georgia...GO DAWGS!...and I was told, nay ordered, to play a song from box A, then two songs from box B and 4 songs from box C...rinse and repeat...and I was told to write them down (I guess they had to validate what I was playing). Well, that didn't happen. By my second week on the unpaid job, I had decided to tote my own vinyl up 5 flights to the top of Memorial Hall where the studio was, where I proceeded to play WHAT I WANTED TO PLAY...15 minutes of The Thrill is Gone Live by BB King, Loving You Sunday Morning by the Scorpions, Windy City by Demian and Lights Out by UFO, etc. By the by, I think Lights Out was a tribute to the greatest generation from England as I think it was how London turned out their lights at night so the Nazis would not know if they were dropping their bombs in the right place...so it was an anti-Hitler song...I guess...

Michael Schenker , Is one the greatest guitar players of all time .For UFO

Funny that you said, "Very Iron Maiden" when Doctor, Doctor was starting... Maiden traditionally listens to this song before going on live. heh They usually pump it out of the PA before hitting the stage... sort of like how Metallica always pumps out The Ecstasy of Gold by Ennio Morricone through the PA before going on live. Maiden also did a cover of Doctor, Doctor.

UFO was before Maiden.

Forget the cig, or cigar after the song, fire up something else BEFORE the song.

It really just doesn’t get any better than that folks! The greatest live album of ALL time! I remember the first time I heard Strangers in the Night, and my jaw nearly hit the floor.

Now you see what we were saying about UFO. Never understood why they weren't as big as Deep Purple.

This group and in particular this album are totally epic.

I first heard this album at 15 and was blown away. I've seen Schenker a half dozen times since, he is a born natural, very, very rare. Literally every one of his guitar solos on every album he has is just on another level.

I discovered UFO in the mid 70's and they were one of the best live bands I've ever seen. Phil Moog was a great frontman. Michael Schenker was a huge presence on stage as shirtless and his long blonde hair covering his face, he hunched over his guitar like a surgeon. And, just as good was Pete Way on bass. Thanks for reacting to them!

I´m glad I met once Michael Schenker on the streets in Frankfurt... he´s such a humble and nice guy !!

The problem was the record company didn't give them the time of day. They are THE MOST UNDERAPPRECIATED rock band ever. Virtuosity at every instrument, a phenomenal vocalist, beautiful harmonies................This band had it all in spades. So sad that they never got the credit they deserved, and, thus, never will.

Doctor Doctor is from UFO's 1974 'Phenomenon' album (the first to feature then 17 year old Michael Schenker who came from Scorpions which has his older brother Rudolf), Lights Out is from the same titled 1977 album. Strangers In The Night was the last recording with Michael Schenker before he left to have a guest appearance on Scorpions' 1979 Lovedrive album and then move on to form the Michael Schenker Group in 1980.

Great that you are listening to the best rock band ever and strangers in the night is the best live album ever captured.

Long live the flying v rock on brothers and sisters

That was such a blast to watch you two listen to those songs. I'm 66 and in the Marine Corps when that came out. I drank, smoked and snorted to that album. I still listen to it.

I've gone through rock, metal, prog, tech-metal and all that other stuff, but for me this will always be the greatest live album ever. I can't pinpoint why but damn it's sooooooo good. Schenker plays like a man possessed throughout. 'Love to Love' is an absolute beast from the same concert as well.

Saw them in 1977. UFO are one of those bands whose studio albums were good, but live, they were astounding.

Thanks for doing this UFO track off in my opinion the best live album ever. They were the 1st band I saw live on the tour this album was recorded on. I saw them at Demontfort Hall in Leicester UK. (When i was a 11 year old boy) Definitely do #UFO Rock Bottom off the same album. Amazing guitar solo by Michael Schenker.

Love UFO. Thanks for doing this reaction. Michael Schenker ( German Wunderkind ) is one of the greatest guitar player ever. He is on tour now in the states with his band... " Michael Schenker Fest "

Doctor Doctor will always remind me the felling I have when they start playing it just before Iron Maiden goes on stage. The anxiety and happiness that something great will happen in a minute :)

Love your expressions! LMAO!!! That's what happens when you listen to UFO.

I was there at their live "Strangers in the Night," recording. Chicago, International Ampitheater, 1979. Molly Hatchet opened up for UFO, and wow, Molly Hatchet was so so good too! Michael Schenker rocks!!!! UFO FOREVER MAN!!!

Strangers is complete magic from start to finish.

I still run into so many people from the 70’s and they’ve never heard of UFO! Scandalous! Their bass player Pete Way was totally nuts good and you have to see him in striped pants! Started a trend for bass players wearing striped pants! Ha lol! Thanks for doing them!! So good!! The best thing about Michael is that he mostly stood still hunched over his flying V with long blonde hair over his face! Awesome!

I was in high school when I took a bunch of friends to see UFO in concert. 1979 California music festival at Los Angeles memorial coliseum. They and Van Halen rocked the house that night.

My friend had this album back in '79 when we were Freshman in highschool. We jammed to it every day after school for months.

Was at one of the shows when the album was recorded. Schenker blew the doors off the building. Will never forget it.

Welcome to the world of UFO, the best hard rock band ever (they are not metal). Michael Schenker is a guitar god of the highest order. UFO used to be a space rock band in the late 1960s until Schenker joined them and they kept the name but never looked back. They have some great ballads too, like "Love to Love", also on Strangers in the Night. Check it out.

that michael growl and tone on the 'V'... amazing !!!!

I remember listening to Lights Out in my cool cars back in the late 70s. Kick Ass stereo systems with 6X9 Jensen Co-Axials and cranked way up. Lights out was/is still a great song IMO.

#UFO Try Me and Love To Love ... Try Me possibly one the best rock ballads ever ... Schenker's guitar on is gives me goose bumps ♥️... I think Kel would probably have a few eargasms ... truly it's a wonderful song 🎶🎵🎶

The first concert I ever went to was UFO in Oxford England in perhaps 1977. I was 15. Loved them and still. Mother mary is perhaps my favourite song. Great memory.

UFO (You Eff Oh) was named after a club in London where they were "found" by Noel Moore, who signed them to a label. Prior to that signing, they had been known as Hocus Pocus. The UFO Club was well known, having had many significant bands play there, including Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Arthur Brown, and Procul Harum - and both Pink Floyd and Soft Machine were house bands there for a time. Amazingly, the club was open for less than a year! (12/1966 - 10/1967)
