UFO's greatness around this time is entirely due to the fact they were an ensemble. Shenker rips, yes, but Mogg is uncanny, anchored by Way and Parker and Raymond. this performance is epic, gives me goosebumps every time.

One of the most underrated guitarists of the 70's. I've never even heard any of the UFO albums without him. When he left, I was done.

Michael Schenker has become one of my favorite guitarists. It's hard to believe he was only 20 when the "Lights Out" album was released.

@curtisreid9100

11 ай бұрын

20! Isn't that crazy? After he ditched UFO (bad mistake - they had all the right ingredients for a household supergroup!) he was great on LOVE DRIVE but his solo stuff was a letdown for me. I couldn't even tell you a name of any of his songs they were so MOR mmeehhh. (I'm sorry!) Love this band though!

The way Michael can pull any note at any time is amazing. Great melodic ear.

RIP Pete Way. A true legend!!!!

Amazing, at the peak of their powers. Schenker's playing is unreal!

one of the most powerful songs recorded and the live version is better. makes me wanna drive fast. "hold tight till the end"

This is a true soundboard recording of a really rehearsed band. They earned every penny.

Michael Schenkerの最高傑作だと思う。特にUFO LIVEのこの曲は初めて聴いた時、最初から最後まで鳥肌立ちっぱなしだった。疾走感が凄い！ギターがカッコいい！終わり方がキマってる！

Nunca nadie sonara como Mister Schenker! hoy se me sigue enchinando la piel al escuchar el talento de este maestro.

This is one of the greatest Rock Riffs of all times.Thanks for putting it up!!

I remember to see this band live when I was kid in Lyon. I miss the time when bands where just music in dirty concert hall with no advertisement and merchandising. Pure rock!

Wow! A truly heroic band who kept classic hard rock alive during the punk revolution...

This Is the Band that really changed everything for me musically!

This band is incredible.

Man it's so sad that these days you no longer see any band with such great chemistry or stage presence and action as UFO or any of the other classic oldies :

After over 30 years this song still ROCKS !!!!

I have only 'stumbled' upon this metal masterpiece (thanks Sirius) and I have been to many, many concerts... This is a waaaay underrated, overlooked, hidden golden work of metal wonder, unless, alas, I was once again late to the party (no surprise there!) ... This guy burns (all apologies) and I can so hear those licks in those '80's burns and beyond... WOW!!!

Man, this is an absolute gem! Brings back so many memories of when hard rock/metal was just taking off. People today give Metallica waaaayy too much credit for the emergence of metal, but look no further than bands like UFO who were ripping just as hard for their time!

His US tour kicks off tomorrow night in Redondo Beach, California and I'll see at least 3 of these shows. I've seen him well over 50 times, and NEVER been disappointed! He's been my favorite since '75, the first time I saw him. Long live Michael Schenker!

One of my favorite Kick- Ass bands in the world. Would love to see them live. Just great Hard Rock and influenced many bands like Def Lepperd and Iron Maiden. Come on guys come to America one more time PLEASE Glenn Augustyn

one of the greatest solos on rock history

UFO ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS EVER. SCHENKER IS A OURE PRODEGY OF HIMSELF. BEST SINGING ❤️❤️ ❤️❤️❤️

No flash, just kick ass guitar playing. The metal bands of the 80's, and 9o's owe more to guys like Schenker, Iommi, Blackmore and others than they can ever give back. LONG LIVE MSG!!!

One great band I just found out about, I wish I knew of them in my early years.

Schenker just friggin kills it here! Amazing!

So, this guitarist is the Michael Schenker I've heard so much about from my dad...Well, I gotta say--the guy can ROCK! WOW!

Just me thinking here, the "Lights Out' album came out in '77, a year before Van Galen's debut did. From all I've read and heard over 40+ years, quite a few great guitarists were intimidated by Eddie. With all due respect to Eddie, and he's one of my all-time favorites, I seriously doubt Michael was intimidated at all!This is my long-winded way of saying that Michael didn't play 2nd to anybody. IMO, he's as good a rock guitarist as anybody and better than most!

What a performance!!! Frickin' kickass.

Such a trip that this talent goes unseen. I never knew this band existed up until about a month ago!

Steve Harris said ..strangers was his favourite live album from 70s..🎸🎵🎶🎹🤟

UFO, we love you forever. Phil Mogg has been the glue, through thick and thin. God bless - what a great man.

most underrated guitar god ever, Michael Schenker deserves so much more fame and money than slash, angus young etc..

Awesome, saw them many times. they never failed to entertain.

Who has more emotion,feel,melodic,tone,vibrato, and memorable leads? Schenkers songs with UFO are brilliant, full of emotion. The recordings don't lie. Stranger in the Night is one of the top 3 live hard rock albums of the 70's. Easy. Vinnie Moore, please, insignificant.
