U r so lucky. Ive seen greats but never them

UFO was the most underrated band of the 70’s a great band

Underrated band. Love em!

One of the best live albums ever made. Great production. Michael Shenker's lead playing is the pinnacle of seamless, melodic transitions from one segment to another.

This is the title track to one of the best studio albums of all time.

U.F.O. was formed in the UK by Phil Mogg (vocals), Pete Way (bass) and Andy Parker (drums) in 1968... They debuted in 1970, but it wasn't until German lead guitarist Michael Schenker joined U.F.O. after leaving German rockers Scorpions in 1973, and the album 'Phenomenon' was released in 1974 that U.F.O. took off in popularity... They were a huge influence on rock/ metal bands in the 80's - Iron Maiden, Metallica, Europe, Def Leppard, Ratt, etc. Paul Raymond joined in 1977 on keyboards & rhythm guitar for the 1977 album 'Lights out'. However, internal conflicts led to Michael Schenker leaving U.F.O. in 1978, just before the release of their 1979 live album 'Strangers in the night'... the live album was their most successful record to date. U.F.O. carried on in the early 80's w/ guitarist Paul Chapman, but their popularity declined significantly by the mid-80's. Meanwhile, guitarist Michael Schenker briefly rejoined the Scorpions in 1979, but left again soon after and formed his own band Michael Schenker Group (M.S.G.) in the 80's and had some success... In the late 80's/ early 90's, vocalist Robin McAuley joined M.S.G. and they were known as McAuley Schenker Group for 3 albums. In the 90's, Michael Schenker rejoined U.F.O. and the band released 'Walk on water' in 1995 w/ Phil Mogg and Pete Way... However, the reunion was turbulent, and Michael Schenker left U.F.O. again in 2002 after 2 more albums. In 2004, Phil Mogg and Pete Way relaunched U.F.O. w/ Vinnie Moore (guitar) and began recording and touring again w/ Paul Raymond (keyboards & guitar) ... Original drummer Andy Parker rejoined in 2007 and U.F.O. saw their popularity rise again on tour and record sales. However, founding bassist Pete Way was afflicted w/ health issues by 2008 and was absent from U.F.O. and Rob DeLuca (bass) joined the band... In 2018, vocalist Phil Mogg announced that he was retiring and U.F.O. would embark on a farewell tour. Sadly, Paul Raymond, Paul Chapman, and Pete Way all passed away by 2020 (R.I.P.) ... Phil Mogg suffered a heart attack in 2022 and was advised to stay home... All of U.F.O.'s tour plans have been cancelled since. Michael Schenker still actively tours and often plays U.F.O. songs w/ his solo band(s). Other U.F.O. songs - 'Doctor doctor' ... 'Try me' ... 'Rock bottom' ... 'Too hot to handle' ... 'Let it roll' 🔥🔥🎸🎸

Paul Raymond on keyboards and rhythm guitar. Legendary.

This is my favorite UFO song. Such memories.

This is widely regarded as one of the best live albums ever made. It’s virtually untouched in the studio.

Michael Schenker is like Kobe on this whole record. Some of the best metal/hard rock guitar playing you will ever hear.

This just made my day. The GOAT on the guitar imho. Schenker is straight fire. Rock bottom live and Love to Love are both epic bangers. Ballads like Born to Lose he emotes gorgeously on the solos. Also, greatest live rock album of that time is Strangers in the Night. The last tour they did with Michael.

A European group who never got the love they deserved here in the states. Guitarist Michael Schenker started touring in his early teens and seemed only to get better and better over the years. This live album stands above most live Rock albums ever recorded!

This is one of the tightest recordings I’ve ever heard. Schenker on fire.

They Actually DID start this song From Zero to 100!! One of my favorite Bands Ever!

Man, they don't make live albums like this anymore. So sonically pleasing to the ears. Judas Priest, AC/DC, Peter Frampton, and a host of others made great live albums in the 70's. Even with today's technology, they can't match that live sound, how they did it, I have no idea. Just wow.

If it’s on this album, it’s the best version of that song. Incredibly good.

Hey guys..It's awesome that you guys are reacting to UFO!! I first heard this band in the late 70's and it's been one of those bands that always comes up in the early days of metal discussions..Great band for sure..Rock on guys!!Shout out from the old metal head from Detroit!! Peace and love as always..Keep up the excellent work!!!

I'm a Metal Head since '79 and I have to say you guys are going down a rabbit hole that gets deep,lol...just the fact you analyzed it and did not just give up on it makes me hit the like button

That entire double live album is one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. One of my favorite albums of all time. You need to get that one on vinyl.

When I started at UGA in 1981, I had never heard of UFO until my roommate dropped the needle on "Rock Bottom." I grew up and lived in the sticks of South Georgia, so this group was new to me as their music never took root down here as airplay of such groups were scarce. Since then, I've been hooked.

This whole album is top notch

Nice reaction :) As a lot of other people have said, one of the greatest live albums of all time. Not a bad song from start to finish and it's a double album. The next song that the people were wanting to hear was Rock Bottom and it's absolutely killer!

Please, hit up "Rock Bottom" on this Live album. It's a banger!

This Kid and Mother Mary are standouts.

Now you guys are rocking! UFO is the bomb! So great and so underrated. Definitely influential to the many rock groups who followed.

Great reaction, and what a treat for Friday!! SO many incredible tracks on this live album (and probably one of the BEST recorded live albums of the 70's!) Love to Love, Doctor Doctor, Rock Bottom ALL need to be experienced from this album! Michael Schenker (guitar), Andy Parker (drums), Paul Raymond (keys), Pete Way (bass) & Phil Mogg (vocals) are OFF THE CHAIN!! Cheers.

The 70s were all about LIVE music. Thank god they documented it with the legendary double live album.

What a great pick! I had the great pleasure of being at this actual concert and the crowd was as wild as it sounds on the recording. Ah, the good old days.

Thanks guys. Check out “Love To Love” and “Rock Bottom” from this same album!!

MOTHER MARY, THIS KID’S, and I’M A LOSER are a couple of Bangers. All the tracks are great on here. Really appreciate you listening to one of my ‘desert island discs’. I will tell you that I have probably put in more time listening to this album than almost any other album in my collection. So glad you guys got to hear some of it. Love taking the journey with you Fellas…..“And we out!”

UFO influenced many of the metal bands of the 80’s. They’re one of my favorite bands.

An amazing band and one of the best live albums ever. Glad you enjoyed it. Rock Bottom from the same album really showcases Michael Schenker's guitar playing. Andy Parker kills the drums as well.

rock bottom live from the same album is pretty amazing, has a massive guitar solo they inspired a lot of metal bands, iron maiden often plays their song 'doctor doctor' before their live shows and steve harris dressed in reference to them in the 80s a lot of metal bands of from the 80s had songs called 'lights out' which i always assumed is also a reference to them

Damn dudes you dropped another deep track, You guys are the true masters of the deep dive reactors. Great reaction guys keep it up. Check out Doctor, Doctor next.

Got to see them 1 time. Great show. Blew everybody away.

You guys continue to impress me.📢❗️

one of the best live rock albums..from an underrated group with a big influence on the following groups..

UFO is an elite rock band that spanned decades. I've seen em three times and they never disappointed.

Why UFO never got as big as the Scorpions is a head scratcher. Michael is phenomenal and Phil is one of the best hard rock vocalists ever.

Great Great live album from a great band! Saw them live with Michael and it was incredible 😊

I saw them a couple of years ago. Phil Mogg, the vocalist, is about 70 and bald as a coot, but his voice was still great.

As you sit back and marvel - remember this is LIVE in '79 - with the guitar god Michael Schenker. This is considered by many to be one of the greatest live albums of all time. SO many bangers. Oh, did I mention the guitar work?

I saw them several times but the most interesting was opening for Jethro Tull in a HS gym in 1975. They were a powerhouse in the day. Fine band to see live. Good choice! The song is about the German bombing of London in WWII.

Saw them live in Denver early 1980 and they blew us away! Fantastic concert, Mogg on vocals and lead guitar ripping those strings.

I was at the show where that was recorded (in Chicago!) UFO is one of my favorite bands and Michael Schenker is my favorite guitarist. For some reason they never got the recognition as most of their contemporaries and just as they were catching fire Michael left the band. The song after that one is rock bottom, check it out.

Michael Schenker is a top notch guitarist. Can I suggest you do a song called I'm a Loser? Either from this live record or the studio. I PROMISE you, I PROMISE you you will not be disappointed. Now I gotta go find your other reactions for this KILLER band. Much love and respect always

I have had this album since it came out. The first concert I ever went to 40 years ago was UFO, I remember the concert sounded just like this album

First concert was UFO. Absolute hardass rock.

U.F.O. never got the mainstream credit they deserved….Awesome band. Michael Shenker Group was good, as well.

YES! One of the greatest live albums ever! I was lucky enough to see them on this tour when they opened for Blue Oyster Cult. Amazing show! Rock Bottom is a real banger, as well

UFO live sounds even better today , than when I bought it in 1979

Heard the studio version of this in just about every house or apartment party that I ever enjoyed too much in the late 70s. Killer song from a killer album.

No reactions ever to Michael Schenker solo "MSG" " Captain Nemo" Minds will be blown. His playing developed a lot more during this period.

As a teen in the early 80's, I bought the Lights Out studio album for this one song. I figured that there would be a few more killer tracks that I hadn't heard yet. I was wrong.

One of my favorite songs period, especially this live version. The whole album is fantastic!

Guys, check out Rock Bottom on this same album. 0-0 one of the most amazing and comprehensive live performances EVER!

My first concert . I was at this recording 12 years old remember it like it was yesterday. One of the best live albums ever made. Also arguably one of the best rock guitarist of all time . Amazing quality of the recording and musicianship.

A hugely under-rated band. Schenker is the man on guitar. SITN is one of if not the best live album of all time. Incredible performances captured brilliantly.

Musta just missed this bunch, but I will say I wished I hadn’t! Really, really great reaction fellas! You guys are top notch!

Woo-hoo, you guys just stumbled into one of the best live albums ever by a Rock Band, it influenced all heavy bands in the 1980s and I saw them 5 times, twice for the Lights Out album then for Obsession the following year. They rank just below Led Zeppelin and the The WHO for great, quality hard rock with metal leanings. Great band and album guys, Rock Bottom is epic on it. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

@@wc1994 Yes, the shows with Schenker were the best but they were great with Paul Chapman and Vinnie Moore, saw them play lead guitar once each and they killed it as well. UFO was a monster band that never had any luck getting really big but their fans know how good they really were.

This Kids on this album is one of my favorite blues jams ever. M.S. is smoking!

I have owned this album since it came out in 1979, the year I graduated high school and it is still one of the best, if not THE best, live rock album I've ever heard. This has been played at countless parties in my youth and I still jam this either in my car or at home regularly. Thanks for the reaction to this classic hard rock song. You could do a special episode to react to the entire Strangers in the Night album. You won't be disappointed. Thanks again guys.

This whole album from front to back is Gold!💰

Rock Bottom,wrote it when 18,a banger live.

Had the good fortune of seeing the band several times in the 70s. Brilliant band

I saw them on this tour with Judas Priest in a small venue in Santa Cruz. Youza! It was LOUD and SO GOOD.

As a kid in the late 70s & early 80s everyone had posters of Kiss, Van Halen, Boston. Led Zeppelin & the Eagles. But there were a few teen that posters were UFO, Little Feat, Budgie.

Too Hot to Handle is on my workout playlist. The remastered version is 👍

Honestly, I feel like airplay beats needs to meet the talking heads - full catalog! I'm here for it

Every song on this album is worth a listen especially if you love kick-ass guitar solos.

Watched them live with Iron Maiden back in the late 70's in Long Beach Ca. One of the best shows!🎶

That second guitar solo is awesome, I put it into a sound editor and removed every thing before it and now use it as my ringtone.

One of the great ones here....

This album is testament to the true power of music and musical excellence. Euro metal at its magnificent best.

Ok you are daring me to subscribe now. My favorite guitar player originally from Scorpions as a teenager Michael Schenker ended up with UFO because their guitar player had a passport problem and borrowed Michael. You can hear his German accent in his solos it's freaking AWESOME!! This is one of those deals where the live version is better than the studio (in my humble opinion). Any song on this album is reaction worthy especially: Mother Mary, This Kids and the lady's favorite LOVE TO LOVE!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

For a short time one of the best bands. Just didn't last long enough to become as well known as Zeppelin or others.

My first listening of UFO was in 1982 the Mechanix album. Great album.

YES! One of my favorite live albums! We used to cover this song and a few others in my high school band. So good to hear it again.

UFO, man ..one of the tightest bands from the '70s..

You guys don't miss finding the nuggets.

Awesome band Ufo were the template for 80s hard rock Started in the early 70s Check out a later song 1999 Self made man....insanely good

You just heard the greatness of a kid named Michael Schenker, brother of Rudy Schenker of the Scorpions, on guitar when he was barely into his 20's. The song Rock Bottom has one of the greatest solos ever captured and he was a teenager when he played it. Michael Schenker is known as one of the greatest to ever pick up a guitar. His style is blues based pentatonics mixed with the more complicated classical scales and set on fire when the two are mixed. He knows how to build and build a solo till it catches fire. You guys were right on about the musicianship. Once again showing you guys know what you're talking about.

I saw UFO open for Rush in 78 or 79, awesome concert!

Since everybody's already said the name Michael Schenker already. He's one of the most underrated guitar virtuosos that's ever play the guitar he started out in his teens with a little band called The Scorpions with his older brother check out some early scorpions when Michael was around first two albums let's say

I was at that concert in Chicago 10/13/78, one of the best shows ever.

I got a CD that has lime 40 songs in it and they all rock I heard them in the late seventies. And I think they over shadowed by a couple of other bands . UFO does have a following. Peace n love

Killer live album

They were very big I was 11 when I first heard their music now I am 60 so they were huge back in my day. That’s what got me off of disco and into real music.

Great landing spot. Explore!!!
