UFO, one of the first bands I seen live at the ripe old age of 13. The absolute topper, AC/DC was the coheadliner. Now at 58 i couldn’t imagine a better indoctrination into live venues. That was in May of 79. South Bend, Indiana. Rock and roll Bliss at its finest! 🤟
Seeing Michael Schenker play this solo live is worth the price of admission. Frank of course does a great job covering the solo. He's a phenomenal lead guitarist and a Michael Schenker disciple.
Excellent. As a total Schenker nerd and guitar teacher, I have to say that the solo is a lovely mix of the original studio version and the live version everyone knows and loves. I also really love Tesla. Win-win. 🙂
That is without a doubt, the greatest cover tune I have ever seen. I especially like that they kept the song true to the original but made the solo their own. Simply amazing. This is one of the reasons I like Tesla. They always have respect for the music.
Frank's touch also makes it sound like Schenker, it's all in the fingers.. those leads at the end? FH is SO clean, what a pro. the solo harmonies sound great.. they have so many hits,seems like they HAVE to play the key Tesla hits onstage, they don't have time to fit in a long,cool cover like this.. I'd love to hear it next time they're in NJ or NYC !
The original live fro UFO Strangers in the Night album, to me is the ultimate version , but I decided to post this one from Tesla since it is a great cover, not that vocals but the instrumental side!! I posted the original live : UFO [ ROCK BOTTOM ] LIVE AUDIO-TRACK,S I T N thnx for tuning in!!
Oh definitely. I agree with you about Frank, he is one of the best guitarist I have ever seen. Just absolutely terrific. Tesla does some really great covers.😊
great harmony, it is a live version of the "live version". Tesla is a great band paying homage to a highly underrated band. i saw them open for ufo during the mechanics tour. they kicked ass. for those talking smack .... i'd like to see you do better.
Same here. I caught Tesla opening for UFO in Los Angeles on the "Mechanix" tour. Most of us in the audience had never heard of Tesla. We missed Shenker but the replacement boys kept the musical pace going, and Phil will always be Phil.
If only Ronnie Romero to get the words right to one single UFO song like Jeff gets it here maybe Michael won't fire him before too long.... UFO Best Rock Band Of All Time !!!
Original UFO, SITN performance... score 100 This Tesla performance... score 99 Every other version I've heard including other videos of UFO live versions and UFO studio... score 70 or less. Exception = The live UFO performances I experienced in person in 79 and 81 which were both 100s. Definitely the most underrated hard rock group and live album in my opinion. Kudos to Tesla for doing such a great tribute.
great band, great cover of a great song, the singer is def one of my top 5 rock singers. his voice sounded like an rock n roll guitar, very cool, very similar to Burton Cummings, saw them in vegas, much respect.
I am so happy that Tesla is going on to be a great looking and sounding. and interesting to see heavy mental band, I will always remember when we were in high school and back then we were going to MT.Eden High School me and Troy the drummer for Tesla, but back then he was involved in a band called Wishper and they had just won the battle of the band's at Chabot college, I just got to see the whole show standing right by Troy I was holding his drum cybel I just got to see the guys by the drum kit for the memories and good times with the one best band in the Bay area and the next time I see anyone else from the band it was at the shore line theater but the only one who was from my high school and the the band Wisper was Troy and then he was the drummer for Tesla and the rest was history and I just got to see the real thing for the memories kids but I will always remember that day and the next time I seen them at the shore line theater and they were great hears to Heavy mental and physical music. thanks again everyone
This goes to show how much this song inspired so many musicians " this was the song back in the day at partys. . being a bass player my question was always ( D'you play rock bottom "!?
I grew up on ufo and others, Micheal S. Is a god! Tesla nails it! Great job guys. Dug you guys from the start been to 3 shows. To do this song shows how good you guy got! I try to play parts of this song to do it all tesla, Rock Gods you have become Rock on! I dont care what anyone says ,they dont count anyways say th ROCKING RICHIE. LOVEYOU GUYS MUCH
yeah, I have that DVD and Jeff's vocals were off that night, esp noticeable on other songs. Having Reel to Real, I like the studio version. But like I said, haven't heard the original, live or studio, so I can't compare vocals. But I do love the way the song rocks!
Bonita Redd if you like this listen to the live version from UFO off Strangers in the Night! And after posting I looked at the date of your post four years ago so hopefully you've heard it by now LOL
Tesla has excellent taste - they do the music justice !! but pleeeeeease - ONLY Phil Mogg can sing UFO songs - it just doesn't sound right when ANY one else sings UFO . Cannot wait to see Tesla open for the SCORPIONS this Friday night !!!! I'd love to hear them play this live .
That was some very fine Micheal Shenker playing. I always had Tesla in my top 20 list of favorite rock bands but I really have a new found respect for them cause that sounded as good as MSG or U F O.
Jejeje in order to get the sound correct you have to use the Gibson Flying V and the Thunderbird bass congrats this sound great…. (also helps to be a great guitar player like this dude…)
Axe. That's great you posted this I never saw them perform this live only heard it on their covers compilation. I think Jeff Keith with or without a cold couldn't sing this song . Phil's delivery is really aggressive on this song very loud vocals for him. I think Jeff Keith could handle the ballad Try Me from Lights Out even with his rasp.
Brian Wheat How bout that Song I’m saying Gent Chek Hall 1982…? that where you & I fell in love ..LoL ha ha..jk.. anywho., we were sound checking .,with Rock Bottom you and Frank came over and introduced yourself”s we talked UFO ..,great Fucking evening of Rock & Roll was had by All Cheers my Brother.
Este grupo salieron en los principios de los '80's , yo no los he seguido mucho, si e escuchado unos que otros, este lo subi porque a el guitarrista de la Flying V , es bien fan de Michael Schenker y si me gusto este cover, pero claro sin el cantante! saludos !
This may sound cleshay, but tesla should have play'd this when they opened for the Scorpions @ Shoreline, they could have made it their exit tune. Schenker brothers rule, still hopin for a Michael and Rudolph Schenker collaboration. keep on rockin AXE.
If you like Tesla you'll love Bonham's album Mad Hatter which never got the kudo's it deserved. Speaking of Tesla, Nikola Tesla is the grandfather of Directed Energy which today is being used to create all weather worldwide & all geo disasters. The Vampire elite are planning to cull the world population by 6.8 billion people to have a more manageable 500 million master n servant Orwellian Utopia. The Wrathchild's, Rockefeller's , Windsor's, Bush's, Kennedy's, Warburgs are a bunch of inbred Vampires who've been controlling the world since Ancient Egypt with their banking cartel. The Wrathchild's own all central banks including the US Federal Reserve. They own all national debts. They control all governments, there is no exception to this rule. They orchestrate all wars which are all based on lies. There are no nuclear weapons because the elite have to live on this earth so they wouldn't poison it with fallout. They own all MSM news & most of the alternative so they will say a nuclear attack has happened so they can start WW3.....MEGADEATH ! Those mushroom clouds were just a Hollywood production. The Twin Towers were not hit by 747's they used thermite explosives. Planes made of aluminum can't magically disappear into buildings made of steel, it's an engineering impossibility. Illegal Bush Obama wars & illegal bailouts have bankrupted the US debt to $21.158 trillion. In the near future the IMF, which is owned by the elite, will declare the US dollar insolvent which will cause worldwide economic collapse, chaos, Martial Law & WW3. Damned inbred Vampires have no conscience. If you think what I'm saying is just a theory then you're in for a shock when it all happens.....END of Days is here & now

UFO, one of the first bands I seen live at the ripe old age of 13.
The absolute topper, AC/DC was the coheadliner. Now at 58 i couldn’t imagine a better indoctrination into live venues.
That was in May of 79.
South Bend, Indiana.
Rock and roll Bliss at its finest! 🤟
in 1979 it was probably Paul Chapman on guitar ( RIP ) .
The Man is right, The best live album ever made.
Stfu!
Bought it in 1980 and still listen to it today
I’d go see Tesla, just to hear them play my fav UFO song. 👍🏼🎶🎸
Seeing Michael Schenker play this solo live is worth the price of admission. Frank of course does a great job covering the solo. He's a phenomenal lead guitarist and a Michael Schenker disciple.
Wow,best cover ever,my favorite band and guitarist UFO Schenker,fantastic Tesla.
Tesla has been A good band for many years. Great balls indeed to play this.SUPER GUITAR WORK
Excellent. As a total Schenker nerd and guitar teacher, I have to say that the solo is a lovely mix of the original studio version and the live version everyone knows and loves. I also really love Tesla. Win-win. 🙂
nothing beats the studio solo...
That is without a doubt, the greatest cover tune I have ever seen. I especially like that they kept the song true to the original but made the solo their own. Simply amazing. This is one of the reasons I like Tesla. They always have respect for the music.
love the way the bass player is paying the ultimate respect to Pete way during the solo,that was Pete's trademark,plus the thunderbird bass,love it
Frank did a good job, takes balls to play this!! He's not Schenker, but only Schenker is,...
I absolutely agree. NO album influenced my tastes more that Strangers In The Night, and in fact, I still have a copy in my Durango now.
Frank's touch also makes it sound like Schenker, it's all in the fingers.. those leads at the end? FH is SO clean, what a pro.
the solo harmonies sound great.. they have so many hits,seems like they HAVE to play the key Tesla hits onstage, they don't have time to fit in a long,cool cover like this.. I'd love to hear it next time they're in NJ or NYC !
Freaking awesome!!!! Ufo,Thin Lizzy and tesla rock man!!
Very-very good version of this song and solos ! Congratulations !!!!
The original live fro UFO Strangers in the Night album, to me is the ultimate version , but I decided to post this one from Tesla since it is a great cover, not that vocals but the instrumental side!!
I posted the original live :
UFO [ ROCK BOTTOM ] LIVE AUDIO-TRACK,S I T N
thnx for tuning in!!
That intro was filmed at the company I worked for in Sacramento, upstairs. Kenny Nicolson did the edit for the live DVD that came out years ago.
got to see all versions of UFO live one of my favorite bands of all time
Great version. Frank's an awesome guitarist.
Oh definitely. I agree with you about Frank, he is one of the best guitarist I have ever seen. Just absolutely terrific. Tesla does some really great covers.😊

angel able shenker still the best
Excellent guitar work. Michael would be proud. I think
Thanks for posting Axe !!!!! Even though this isn't UFO it's cool to see people like Tesla keeping Shenker going !!!!!
Shenker is God :)
No he is not but I am a big fan .
If only Ronnie Romero to get the words right to one single UFO song like Jeff gets it here maybe Michael won't fire him before too long.... UFO Best Rock Band Of All Time !!!
Original UFO, SITN performance... score 100

Great rendition. Great rythm guitar

Bad ass cover!!
One of my Favs from back in the day Great Job TESLA
I am so happy that Tesla is going on to be a great looking and sounding. and interesting to see heavy mental band, I will always remember when we were in high school and back then we were going to MT.Eden High School me and Troy the drummer for Tesla, but back then he was involved in a band called Wishper and they had just won the battle of the band's at Chabot college, I just got to see the whole show standing right by Troy I was holding his drum cybel I just got to see the guys by the drum kit for the memories and good times with the one best band in the Bay area and the next time I see anyone else from the band it was at the shore line theater but the only one who was from my high school and the the band Wisper was Troy and then he was the drummer for Tesla and the rest was history and I just got to see the real thing for the memories kids but I will always remember that day and the next time I seen them at the shore line theater and they were great hears to Heavy mental and physical music. thanks again everyone
Mr. Frank Hannon!!! If it should ever be said, it should be said at 7:55!!!!
outstanding FRANK!!!!!!
Wow! Played with love and respect for the original.
This goes to show how much this song inspired so many musicians " this was the song back in the day at partys. . being a bass player my question was always ( D'you play rock bottom "!?
Omg!!! Great cover!!!
Awesome loved it. Love that Schenker tone baby !!!
UFO N TESLA GODA LOVE THE OLD SCHOOL!!!!!!
I grew up on ufo and others, Micheal S. Is a god! Tesla nails it! Great job guys. Dug you guys from the start been to 3 shows. To do this song shows how good you guy got! I try to play parts of this song to do it all tesla, Rock Gods you have become Rock on! I dont care what anyone says ,they dont count anyways say th ROCKING RICHIE.
LOVEYOU GUYS MUCH
Fantastic guitar solo
Outstanding
The greatest guitar solo of all time period.
Rock bottom live 2008 remaster by UFO. Michael’s Schenker’s Guitar work is far superior. I’m sure the Tesla guy would agree.
Enjoyed that - apart from the vocals. Nice to see the bass player doing a 'Pete Way'. (laying down playing)
Thanks for the UL Axe!
yeah, I have that DVD and Jeff's vocals were off that night, esp noticeable on other songs. Having Reel to Real, I like the studio version. But like I said, haven't heard the original, live or studio, so I can't compare vocals. But I do love the way the song rocks!
Phenomenal cover!
TESLA, OH YEA 🤟🤟🤟🤟
AWESOME 😎, BOYS!! You rocked it!! Tesla RUELEZZZ❤️🎶🎶🎼🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🍾🍾
Love it. Would love more with Ann Wilson doing vocals.
damn good UFO cover ... thanks for the upload ... greetings from Berlin/Germany
very fine work from people who love Michael, Michael is King. Cheers!
Killer man! Now I know what it would sound like with Bon Scott singin Rock Bottom. Rock on...
Great cover! Thanks for sharing! :)
You're very welcome 69 Lucy.. :)
It's an adequate cover... I wish they'd have chosen something off of Force It or loo Lights Out.
Tesla banda show vlw
Tesla was the first band I saw live opening for Def Leppard in 1987 in Rapid City.
También para mí "Strangers in the night" es el mejor álbum en vivo en la historia del rock.
frank hannon is badass, love that tone!!!
where on gods gracious earth did you find this. Awesome. simply awesome.
Nice ! Payin respect & makin it sound goooood !!!!
Bloody 'GOOD. ❤❤❤
Frank and Troy are the real shining stars in this performance. Not one of Jeff’s best vocal performances though.
This song kicks ass!!!!!
Bonita Redd if you like this listen to the live version from UFO off Strangers in the Night! And after posting I looked at the date of your post four years ago so hopefully you've heard it by now LOL
El mejor cover de este tema que vi en mí larga vida
Frank rippin' and payin' great homage to Mr.wunderkid.
Badass!
Simply awesome! 😍❤️🤘🏽
Tesla has excellent taste - they do the music justice !! but pleeeeeease -
ONLY Phil Mogg can sing UFO songs -
it just doesn't sound right when ANY one else sings UFO .
Cannot wait to see Tesla open for the SCORPIONS this Friday night !!!!
I'd love to hear them play this live .
Great job.
That was some very fine Micheal Shenker playing. I always had Tesla in my top 20 list of favorite rock bands but I really have a new found respect for them cause that sounded as good as MSG or U F O.
Thank you so much for posting the Metal Show, I had missed some of it!
Awesome!
ONCE AGAIN AXE THX FOR THIS PURE GEM!!
Jejeje in order to get the sound correct you have to use the Gibson Flying V and the Thunderbird bass congrats this sound great…. (also helps to be a great guitar player like this dude…)
One of the best live covers and on MS bad days which has been a few Tesla played better!
♫♥♫ thanks for sharing Axé ! Tesla is Great !!! ♫♥♫
목소리가 너무 매력적..
¡Que bien suenan! No conocia esta banda hasta ahora,pero ya te digo que les seguiré.Ughhhhh... Salud.
This is fucken dope
Axe. That's great you posted this I never saw them perform this live only heard it on their covers compilation. I think Jeff Keith with or without a cold couldn't sing this
song . Phil's delivery is really aggressive on this song very loud vocals for him.
I think Jeff Keith could handle the ballad Try Me from Lights Out even with his rasp.
Brian Wheat How bout that Song I’m saying Gent Chek Hall 1982…? that where you & I fell in love ..LoL ha ha..jk.. anywho., we were sound checking .,with Rock Bottom you and Frank came over and introduced yourself”s we talked UFO ..,great Fucking evening of Rock & Roll was had by All Cheers my Brother.
Awesome.
Wow! Saw Tesla open for Scorpions and thought that they were interesting at best. Wish they would have done this song. The music was great!
Axe you never cease to amaze me
Este grupo salieron en los principios de los '80's , yo no los he seguido mucho, si e escuchado unos que otros, este lo subi porque a el guitarrista de la Flying V , es bien fan de Michael Schenker y si me gusto este cover, pero claro sin el cantante!
saludos !
Welcome & thnx for your comment!
Cool the V and Les Paul sound good together
This may sound cleshay, but tesla should have play'd this when they opened for the Scorpions @ Shoreline, they could have made it their exit tune. Schenker brothers rule, still hopin for a Michael and Rudolph Schenker collaboration. keep on rockin AXE.
The67flyingV never gonna happen, Michael can’t stand Rudy supposedly
I LOVED IT
thank you sir! ;)...
I really like this
fucking brilliant cover
I'm going to be screaming Rock Bottom in Aug Raleigh now! lol
Michael Shenker rules!!!!
It's Frank not Michael the best cover I have ever heard!!
Wicked cool
Play rock bottom in about four different bands i've been in way back in seven seventy eight hot song
WOOW !!!!
Good intent!
Dead On !!!!!!
These guys need to learn from the master himself, Michael Schenker.
Jeff sounds like Daffy Duck being choked to death
No shit! Damn, I was trying hard to think of a way to express your very thoughts - just awful.
HAHAHAHAHAHAGA
