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. ruclips.net/video/H4Jeczyj4ZI/видео.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.
This song always reminds me of my good friend Paul valance who loved this ufo track. He was killed in a hit and run at the age of 17, although it’s now over 40 years ago I still think of him and hearing this makes me feel happy inside.🙂
Saw UFO when they were promoting this album at Blackburn king George’s hall ,I think it was about 1980 . Chapman had just taken over from shenker on lead ..fuck me im old
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.

Love UFO! One of the greatest hard rock bands ever. Phil was always a great singer and frontman. Strangers in the Night is still incredible every time I play it. It is the standard for live recordings still to this day! Saw them live in 1979 in Springfield, Missouri and have been a fan ever since.
I saw this footage on Facebook and was bowled over and then bought Strangers in the Night on Vynal. I saw them at Reading 1981 and a few times since. So☮️☮️🎸🎸🏴🏴🏴🏴🇺🇲🇺🇲⚽⚽
Never saw them unfortunately. They were supposed to play a Coffee Break Concert sponsored by WMMS as the Cleveland Agora in the early 80s. I don't recall why it was cancelled.

Superb band who I saw at B'ham Odeon in either 1980 or '81. Still have the programme. Favourite song? Lights Out. Tickets were £3.00. I want to go back in time & see all of those great rock / metal bands again.

This is an amazing piece of rock history captured on film, and I know 4 out of 5 is generous, but it still hurts me to watch UFO perform without Michael.
100% ... UFO never seemed the same to me after he left. Strangers in the Night was just the bollocks. Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous along with it. Two albums that captured the joy and soulfulness that metal can bring. Those were the days ! 💜
Saw these guys quite a few times in the early 80s and always blew me away with just how many good tracks they had. Bloody love them and right up there with Maiden and AC/DC in my pantheon of great rock bands. Good work boys ✌️
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.
What a band, what a track, what a performance. Epic classic rock at it's best. Still on the tracklist of my life. A blast from the past & still as fresh as the 1st listen. Great band.
Lights Out..awesome..first time i heard them i was hooked..Mogg's vocals..so unique..this bad deserved so much more credit..thx for the video down memory lande..
So many great tracks from UFO. I sometimes think if it wasn't for Zeppelin being around UFO would have been much more widely recognised for the truly great band they were.
What a flipping really great rocking band UFO was, I only got to see then 2 times but they won me over, great singing, great players and great songs, they had it all and much more

@@keithf_ Yeah, I know, I remember it (live). But, whilst they may not be the same, Jools show is the closest thing to it on TV. Music for Musicians & Muso's - besides, today's music scene isn't what it was, is it?
@tjwright-df2cu I feel really sorry for today's youngsters. Absolutely no edgy rebellious musicians to worship really. And rock n roll is pretty much dead
This brings back so many memories. I saw this lineup loads of times in 80/81/82. They were fantastic right up to the final gigs with Vinnie on lead. Stand our tracks for me are all schemer era …Love to Love, Lights Out, Shoot Shoot, Doctor Doctor.
The live recording of Doctor Doctor is my favourite live recording of anything - including Frampton. Nothing like it happening here on on OGWT of course, but the crowd roar when the main riff comes in on that other version.... It gets me every time. ow!!
This brings back memories. Cars parked in the parking lot, trunks open, stereos blasting, cold beer, cheap brown weed, hot chicks.. Tossing a football.. Ah yes, it was good growing up in the late 70's early 80's. Wouldn't trade it for anything. I feel bad for kids today...
@@artmchugh5644 Yup. They have no idea what good music is.. My nephews can't even name a rock band. They listen to crap rap with vocoder vocal tracks. I'm not saying there are no good artists today.. There are, if you look for it online.
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.
I drove the tour bus with UFO from france through Italy and then with the ferry from Brindisi to Patras onto Athens unfortnately moggi threw a wobblerat the gigt and threw the speakers into the crowd and the rest was as they history .. bloody great band and bloody great guys ..the road manager was a prat ...off his head on coke I drove from Athens back to the uk with the roadies who thought the were rock stars
Love road stories. The guy who owned the bus Willie Nelson used for years in the 70s and 80s lived in my town. He passed but the old bus is still sitting there sadly rotting away.
I drove the short bus for Pee Wee Herman on his fifth American Tour , got so ripped on the bus one day or night can’t recall what it was, but Pee Wee . . . . . Well uh never mind. . . . . Out
Come on man you wound us up ,can't we have a lil more? Isn't he accused of either gay or slightly pedo inclined stuff? I have heard he was a bit of an aresehole!
I saw them at Kiel Auditorium, STL MO, when I was about 10 years old. I was so short I had to stand on my seat to see over the standing adults. Still, the show rocked!
@@michaelzukowski5541 they were co-headlining with each other, i thought phil might have been considered to replace bon in acdc. but ufo was already a brand on their own.
They opened for Rush the only time I saw them. Max Webster the most eye opening act on the bill. But Schenker was there, good times. Rush, great as usual, 70's.
@Fat Albert like most of the 60-70 year olds today, we'd get our $7, go to the show, stand right up front every time if we wanted. Thought it could never end, of course. But todays concerts are pretty messed up with the $$$, the tracks. They need a disclaimer.
I went to watch these live in 1985 I think, it was UFO featuring Phil Mogg. It was a tough crowd because they were playing all the new stuff, they played this at the end and brought the house down.
I actually saw Tonka's very first show with UFO. They were to play a huge outdoor stadium show in Chicago and Michael bailed. UFO got Chapman flown in and booked a show in a Chicago area club called B' Ginnings to use as a warm up for the huge show the very next day. Tickets were announce on the radio and we got 'em. We had no idea all of this stuff had transpired. We couldn't figure out why a big band like UFO (who was going to open the show for bunch of way bigger bands the next day) would be playing an impromptu gig in a club. Well, when they came out on stage Schenkar was not with them. They played a couple of songs and the crowd was kinda wondering what was up. Mogg stated that Michael had "somehow lost his mind" and left the group and our new guitarist is Paul Chapman from the band Lonestar taking his place. I guess the rest is history but that was my part of it anyway. They were pretty good of course, but kind of rough. They used the show as a break in for Chapman to take over and get through the VERY important show the next day. I would argue that they really lost the advantage they had going when Michael left and they never recovered even with Paul's contribution over the years. The band really took a hit.
I am speechless... Blown away I never knew how good these guys could play Could you stack one more keyboard atop the last one could you play another song like this but in a different way UFO can't you see UeFock you're doing to me you were rocking so hard you tore my body apart double kick, bell sound ride more volume, more lights A minor to your E when you need sonic frights We've played it before We'll play it again a thousand more times before the end sorry. I guess that's me expressing my appreciation. I'd never really heard much from them but I regret not seeing them in their heyday. Would easily open up for the Scorpions. Or have they?
love them - some bands never get the love they deserve - Magum and the Angels (Australian band) and 2 other wonderful bands that never got their due...
I saw them in 1978, with RUSH & Max Webster. I always thought they were underrated! Max Webster was a good opening act, followed by UFO, then RUSH! definitely one of my top 5 concerts ever!!! I saw Bowie twice, Zeppelin once, RUSH 5 other times, Joe Walsh twice, so I have seen a lot of shows.
I was lucky to experience UFO live twice in my life. First at Stanford University's Maples Pavilion (where the basketball team would play) on 29 OCT 1978. I was 15 years old and knew nothing about them. I went because my brother, who was 18 at the time, convinced me to go. Everyone in the band was animated and Phil Mogg was running around and jumping off the drum riser constantly. But there was one band member standing at one end of the stage not moving at all except for his hands. I asked my brother, "Who is that guy over at the end of the stage playing the guitar?" He told me, "That's Michael Schenker, the lead guitarist." I was amazed. The second time was at The Edge nightclub in Mountain View CA I believe on 8 AUG 1995. A friend I went with told me to bring one of my UFO albums. I didn't know what he had planned until he went backstage later with my copy of "Force It" for the bandmembers to sign. Unfortunately, I did not get to meet them personally but I had a great time none the less. I also got to see Michael Schenker at the Heritage Theatre in Campbell CA on 13 Feb 2014. He was awesome as ever! Now that I think about it, it's the last live performance I've seen of any band to date.
I think we all know. They were and what all other band's aspire to be. They are the legacy of rock history. I am just glad i saw them so many times through all the lineups and changes. They NEVER changed.

Whatever the arguments about guitarists this is by far the best live performance of this track on youtube. One of the seminal OGWT moments.

I drove the tour bus with UFO from france through Italy and then with the ferry from Brindisi to Patras onto Athens unfortnately moggi threw a wobblerat the gigt and threw the speakers into the crowd and the rest was as they history .. bloody great band and bloody great guys ..the road manager was a prat ...off his head on coke I drove from Athens back to the uk with the roadies who thought the were rock stars
Love road stories. The guy who owned the bus Willie Nelson used for years in the 70s and 80s lived in my town. He passed but the old bus is still sitting there sadly rotting away.
I drove the short bus for Pee Wee Herman on his fifth American Tour , got so ripped on the bus one day or night can’t recall what it was, but Pee Wee . . . . . Well uh never mind. . . . . Out
Come on...you can't leave it at that! Any other little nuggets??
Come on man you wound us up ,can't we have a lil more? Isn't he accused of either gay or slightly pedo inclined stuff? I have heard he was a bit of an aresehole!
Great comment! Thanks for that!
I had forgotten about UFO until now. Awesome, I will be expecting more.
I once crashed an Opel Manta whilst listening to this.
I once crashed an Opel Kadett
listening to Queen
So - You win 😂
Manta was a nice looking motor👍
@@robertwiesler381 Not after the UFO incident!
Now that was rock n roll! 😂😂😂
Did you see a UFO and got curious and overly distracted?
I saw them at Kiel Auditorium, STL MO, when I was about 10 years old. I was so short I had to stand on my seat to see over the standing adults. Still, the show rocked!
Обожаю эту группу! Очень недооцененная банда. Считаю ее одной из лучших в хард роке!
Согласен
может просто они смотрелись как клоуны в 70 то ... недооцененность это другое ...
Тоже очень нравится, слушаю давно
Сам ты клоун.@@raubak
ach ja?😁
saw them with bon scott and acdc in toronto at massey hall, one of the best concerts of my life.
Saw same lineup but in Allentown Pennsylvania was great show
@@michaelzukowski5541 they were co-headlining with each other, i thought phil might have been considered to replace bon in acdc. but ufo was already a brand on their own.
Seen UFO at Oakland's "Day on the Green" back in 1976. They were the opening act and they blew me away. I mean they rocked the place.
Strangers in the night, best live album ever!
Yep
UFO have been my first Rock- Concert in 1975. The hall was small, but the sound was big. Really great rock band
An underrated classic band who deserved more.
I met these guys waaaaay back at a dive bar in Columbia, Illinois....... Can't remember much more about that night!
UFO... the sound of the late 70's early 80's. Headbanging at teenage parties. Michael Shencker was the boss, but Paul Chapman was admirable.
great clip! I saw them in Toronto in 1979(?) and they were great. A little band called AC/DC opened the show, and the rest is history.
I saw these guys in the 70s. They really poured their souls out on stage!
just fantastic what a band
They opened for Rush the only time I saw them. Max Webster the most eye opening act on the bill. But Schenker was there, good times. Rush, great as usual, 70's.
@Fat Albert like most of the 60-70 year olds today, we'd get our $7, go to the show, stand right up front every time if we wanted. Thought it could never end, of course. But todays concerts are pretty messed up with the $$$, the tracks. They need a disclaimer.
I saw them open for RUSH...sad, RUSH had changed...Farewell to Kings...and farewell to improvised rock...oh well. UFO so totally SMOKED THEM!
I went to watch these live in 1985 I think, it was UFO featuring Phil Mogg. It was a tough crowd because they were playing all the new stuff, they played this at the end and brought the house down.
One of the very best rock songs ever.
So good! Great to see a band actually playing live and not lip syncing 🤘
I actually saw Tonka's very first show with UFO. They were to play a huge outdoor stadium show in Chicago and Michael bailed. UFO got Chapman flown in and booked a show in a Chicago area club called B' Ginnings to use as a warm up for the huge show the very next day. Tickets were announce on the radio and we got 'em. We had no idea all of this stuff had transpired. We couldn't figure out why a big band like UFO (who was going to open the show for bunch of way bigger bands the next day) would be playing an impromptu gig in a club. Well, when they came out on stage Schenkar was not with them. They played a couple of songs and the crowd was kinda wondering what was up. Mogg stated that Michael had "somehow lost his mind" and left the group and our new guitarist is Paul Chapman from the band Lonestar taking his place. I guess the rest is history but that was my part of it anyway. They were pretty good of course, but kind of rough. They used the show as a break in for Chapman to take over and get through the VERY important show the next day. I would argue that they really lost the advantage they had going when Michael left and they never recovered even with Paul's contribution over the years. The band really took a hit.
Great band Too bad about Phil being sick RIP Pete Way

My brother had this UFO album in early 70s with chrome bathtub or shower parts on it, GREAT ALBUM...!!!
I am speechless...
Blown away
I never knew how good these guys could play
Could you stack one more keyboard
atop the last one
could you play another song like this
but in a different way
UFO can't you see
UeFock you're doing to me
you were rocking so hard
you tore my body apart
double kick, bell sound ride
more volume, more lights
A minor to your E
when you need sonic frights
We've played it before
We'll play it again
a thousand more times
before the end
sorry. I guess that's me expressing my appreciation. I'd never really heard much from them but I regret not seeing them in their heyday. Would easily open up for the Scorpions. Or have they?
I thought that this was the other Scorpions with the better Schenker?
Loved these fellas from when I first heard them in 1975.
love them - some bands never get the love they deserve - Magum and the Angels (Australian band) and 2 other wonderful bands that never got their due...
Amazing tune really good very impressed .
how the hell did I get this far through life without hearing this. Missed it by 40 years. Thank you algorithm.😋
Did somebody finally lift the rock you were under? At least now you see the light.
I saw them in 1978, with RUSH & Max Webster. I always thought they were underrated! Max Webster was a good opening act, followed by UFO, then RUSH! definitely one of my top 5 concerts ever!!! I saw Bowie twice, Zeppelin once, RUSH 5 other times, Joe Walsh twice, so I have seen a lot of shows.
Saw with fog hat.1973.
Yeeaaahhhh
i actually remember this song! damn i'm old.
That was awesome ! Brings me right back to the good old days
지구에 명곡중에 한곡 ..엣날 조상님께서 들으셨다면... 신이 강림하셨네...2차 세계 대전 후 가장 폭발적인 에너지 사운드와 우주 강림 사운드
че ты сказал??
ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY AWESOME!
Oddly enough when I hear this song I think of Iron Maiden…they always play this at their live shows…
God, this brings back so many memories of when I was a rock DJ at a local Pub on Monday Rock Nights.
thank god for the OGWT
I was lucky to experience UFO live twice in my life. First at Stanford University's Maples Pavilion (where the basketball team would play) on 29 OCT 1978. I was 15 years old and knew nothing about them. I went because my brother, who was 18 at the time, convinced me to go. Everyone in the band was animated and Phil Mogg was running around and jumping off the drum riser constantly. But there was one band member standing at one end of the stage not moving at all except for his hands. I asked my brother, "Who is that guy over at the end of the stage playing the guitar?" He told me, "That's Michael Schenker, the lead guitarist." I was amazed. The second time was at The Edge nightclub in Mountain View CA I believe on 8 AUG 1995. A friend I went with told me to bring one of my UFO albums. I didn't know what he had planned until he went backstage later with my copy of "Force It" for the bandmembers to sign. Unfortunately, I did not get to meet them personally but I had a great time none the less. I also got to see Michael Schenker at the Heritage Theatre in Campbell CA on 13 Feb 2014. He was awesome as ever! Now that I think about it, it's the last live performance I've seen of any band to date.
An all time favorite from the "Day" saw them quite a few times! Wish they'd come back around
What nostalgia for those times when very interesting bands appeared and cool music sounded 🎶!!❤️🔥🔥🎸
I think we all know. They were and what all other band's aspire to be. They are the legacy of rock history. I am just glad i saw them so many times through all the lineups and changes. They NEVER changed.
