One of the best live albums of the 1970s. And Michael Schenker is an amazing guitar player.
Better than what most rappers in history put out.
One of the best live albums, PERIOD!
(+the 1970s was the last time that live albums MEANT anything!!
Before videos, before on-line videos!!!)
Absolutely!! 👍🏼🎸
Except the Beastie Boys. Who were also in a punk band before they went mostly rap
As important as Van Halen and Randy Rhoads...
The GREAT Michael Schenker on guitar!
One of the greatest bands live ever, i've seen them perforn live over 20 times from 1972 up to the present day most underrated bands ever....
Phil Mogg - vocals
Michael Schenker - lead guitar
Paul Raymond - keyboards, rhythm guitar, backing vocals
Pete Way - bass
Andy Parker - drums
U r so lucky. Ive seen greats but never them
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' 🔥🔥🎸🎸
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.
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.
UFO was the most underrated band of the 70’s a great band
Paul Raymond on keyboards and rhythm guitar. Legendary.
This is widely regarded as one of the best live albums ever made. It’s virtually untouched in the studio.
They Actually DID start this song From Zero to 100!! One of my favorite Bands Ever!
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!”
This kid's....
❤
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 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.
Also largely influential on Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Metallica. They always credit him as one of their main inspirations.
What Andrea said!
100%. So great to hear you react to this. You should react to the whole album, you won’t be disappointed. Michael Schenker is the most criminally underrated guitarist just as UFO is an underrated band. Schenker was also one of Randy Rhodes influences.
really?
Yes for the other bands you listed, but Sabbath came before UFO/Schenker. @@andrearodriguez9005
First song I heard from UFO, have been a stanch fan ever since. Best live album of all time.
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.
Underrated band. Love em!
If it’s on this album, it’s the best version of that song. Incredibly good.
Amen, brother!
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.
One of the best live recorded albums alltime. Michael Schenker is a beast on the guitar!
He is about as good as the guitar player in Blue Oyster Cult.
His leads are so tasty, dude has a genuine feel and tone like no other
UFO influenced many of the metal bands of the 80’s.
They’re one of my favorite bands.
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
This is my favorite UFO song. Such memories.
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.
give "this Kid', ' Mother Mary' 'Only you can Rock me' ' let it roll' ' too hot to handle' 'shoot shoot' a listen as well
This Kid and Mother Mary are standouts.
Please, hit up "Rock Bottom" on this Live album. It's a banger!
Love that song
THE classic early metal song off arguably my favorite "all genre" 70s album. Very sorry only saw them once
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
The 70s were all about LIVE music. Thank god they documented it with the legendary double live album.
This is one of the tightest recordings I’ve ever heard. Schenker on fire.
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!!!
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!
Thanks guys. Check out “Love To Love” and “Rock Bottom” from this same album!!
Was lucky enough to see them multiple times at the old Amphitheater in Chicago. Was there when recorded tracks for this album. One of the Greatest live albums of all time!
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.
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?
Michael Schenker is like Kobe on this whole record. Some of the best metal/hard rock guitar playing you will ever hear.
I'm going to say he is more like Luka Doncic and Nikola Jocik.
And the Drummer is like Larry Bird.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Or rock bottom
UFO is an elite rock band that spanned decades. I've seen em three times and they never disappointed.
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.
R.I.P. the old International Amphitheatre!!
I was too- City Boy- the opening band got booed off the stage. I sat in the 3rd row right in front of Schenker.
@@TheRagratus Phil Mogg “I’d like to dedicate this o e to the opening act, it’s called pack it up and go.”
Most of it was recorded in Youngstown, and two tracks in the studio…
U.F.O. never got the mainstream credit they deserved….Awesome band. Michael Shenker Group was good, as well.
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.
Now you guys are rocking! UFO is the bomb! So great and so underrated. Definitely influential to the many rock groups who followed.
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
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.
Oh man I'm strapped in for this one!!!!!!! Let's GO! You'll need to go down that rabbit hole. I'm ready!!!!!! My girlfriend's favorite band. They had a following. 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
No reactions ever to
Michael Schenker solo "MSG"
" Captain Nemo"
Minds will be blown.
His playing developed a lot more during this period.
But I Want More, from his double Live at Budokan album, is about as good as it gets with MSG.
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.
one of the best live rock albums..from an underrated group with a big influence on the following groups..
UFO live sounds even better today , than when I bought it in 1979
This whole album is top notch
Guys, check out Rock Bottom on this same album. 0-0 one of the most amazing and comprehensive live performances EVER!
Saw them live in Denver early 1980 and they blew us away! Fantastic concert, Mogg on vocals and lead guitar ripping those strings.
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.
First concert was UFO. Absolute hardass rock.
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! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
I bought Lights Out and Obsession on vinyl from my local flea market a few years ago. That must've been amazing seeing them back in the day that many times!!! 👍
@@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.
Got to see them 1 time. Great show. Blew everybody away.
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
Great Great live album from a great band! Saw them live with Michael and it was incredible 😊
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.
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 🕊️☮️♾️😎
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.
You guys continue to impress me.📢❗️
Musta just missed this bunch, but I will say I wished I hadn’t! Really, really great reaction fellas! You guys are top notch!
One of my favorite songs period, especially this live version. The whole album is fantastic!
Rock Bottom,wrote it when 18,a banger live.
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.
I saw them on this tour with Judas Priest in a small venue in Santa Cruz. Youza! It was LOUD and SO GOOD.
Had the good fortune of seeing the band several times in the 70s. Brilliant band
This whole album from front to back is Gold!💰
This album is testament to the true power of music and musical excellence. Euro metal at its magnificent best.
For a short time one of the best bands. Just didn't last long enough to become as well known as Zeppelin or others.
Watched them live with Iron Maiden back in the late 70's in Long Beach Ca. One of the best shows!🎶
Too Hot to Handle is on my workout playlist. The remastered version is 👍
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.
Every song on this album is worth a listen especially if you love kick-ass guitar solos.
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.
Honestly, I feel like airplay beats needs to meet the talking heads - full catalog! I'm here for it
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
Guitar God Michael Schenker, 'nuff said!! This album is a true masterclass of the art of lead guitar playing, a sort of hard rock /heavy metal bible for future generations of guitarists!
My first listening of UFO was in 1982 the Mechanix album. Great album.
Can't give enough credit to Paul Raymond who played keys and held down rhythm guitar on this album. Michael Schenker reportedly did not want to do overdubs on this album so it was a true reflection of a live album. That whole album is worth a listen lots of great songs and solos on that album.
I was at that concert. Two face melting lead solos in one song. Not sure ibve recovered yet😂
Damn, can only imagine what that was like. I've only heard the record and I still haven't recovered from THAT! 😂.
UFO, man ..one of the tightest bands from the '70s..
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
Found some UFO, that's cool, they never broke big in the U.S. but they are certainly an important heavy rock band from the '70's; was at the grocery store a short time back, realized I was humming along with a track being played over the PA in the store, had to stop and actively listen for a second...it was UFO, "Too Hot to Handle"...I was hearing UFO, in a freaking grocery store, I realized it is official, I'm old now lol
Michael Schenker, one of the most under-rated guitarists of all time.
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.
Best Live Album Ive ever heard, Michael Schenker in my opinion is incredible, especially in Lights Out
As far as analog 70's live albums go, this is one of the best. That said, the studio material from the band is so much better in my opinion.
Brother of Rudolph Schenker of the Scorpions, both very underrated bands (UFO and Scorpions)
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.
Honestly, I usually prefer studio tracks, but for UFO, their live recordings are kick a$$. One recommendation I would have is: "Mystery Train" from around '79 / '80. (live or studio) you'll dig it boys.
I was at that concert in Chicago 10/13/78, one of the best shows ever.
Song has always reminded me of when Zeppelin Kicks into Achilles Last Stand
so true. nice observation!
I was at that concert Chicago amphitheatre, one of best live shows ever seen
