Iron Maiden gives this song a boost by playing it before they go on stage. There is a video from last summer from a show in Greece, and while the audience eagerly awaited Maiden, this song started playing. The audience was singing along enthusiastically. UFO are like a fine wine or cult film--they get more appreciated with age. kzread.info/dash/bejne/emh-x8Wzqc2aiqw.html

@Astro Telomeres I am of the opinion that they were ahead of the 'British Invasion' by a few years so didn't get as much notice. Same with Thin Lizzy as someone mentioned above. Just one theory. Another theory, and possibly intertwined with the 'British Invasion', is AOR radio stations were more corporate and influential; some good bands probably didn't 'pay to play' like other bands did, or as much as other bands did. So, they got a bit of airplay, but not as much as others who probably paid more.

Paul Raymond on keyboards, guitar and back up vocals. So underrated. UFO, Chicken Shack,Savoy Brown.

Strangers in the Night is still, imo, the best sounding live album ever.

They're one of the reasons Steve Harris formed Iron Maiden. He was a huge fan of them and Pete Way was one of his main influences. They still play "Doctor Doctor" at each concert, right before they enter the stage.

Whistle Test was the highlight of the week! Alternative versions were Awesome! 😃🎸🤘😎

Tonks Chapman R. I. P. What a gentleman, myself and good mate John met him and his American wife backstage at a Steve Marriot gig in Cardiff in the 80s. Fast forward a month or two we were at St David's hall in Cardiff to see Gary Moore, took our seat's and who should be sat next to us only Tonka and his wife. We had a good catch up and went our separate ways. About a year later we were strolling through Cardiff station when we heard someone shouting our names turned around and it's Tonka running up to greet us, we had a brief catch up and Tonka went off to collect his wife who had just returned from San Francisco. I know Tonka moved to the States later on and ended up in a band called Gator Country with ex members of Molly Hatchet which I believe he was with until his untimely death. What an awesome guy and guitarist, if you haven't already check out his first major band Lonestar.

Concur with all the positive sentiments expressed thus far. Would just like to thank the Music Gods for inspiring the BBC to create the Old Grey Whistle Test. The viewing public in the UK were privileged to see some astonishingly talented and diverse performers from so many genres. As a 13 year old, my musical education went into overdrive thanks to this programme. OGWT Rocked!!!

August 15th, 1995. Seattle, Wa. The Ballard firehouse venue I attended this show. Michael Schenker was there. I stood right in front of him when they did Lights out and Rock bottom. He did all the solos note for note like he did on the Stranger's album. I never looked him in the eye and he didn't look at me either. I am a guitar player. So I was watching how he played both of those songs. That dude rocks.

The greatest rock show ever. Why it has not been re, although classic Rock is hard to replicate.
