I'm old enough to be one of those who rocked to this song and group but, I don't know if they called it heavy metal back then. We called it hard rock!!

@SIMON WOODS you are dead on correct my friend I have a picture disc that I bought in 1982 It’s the Scorpions debut album Lonesome Crow and Mike is 16 when he and his brother laid down the tracks Klaus’ accent is thick to the point of unintelligible (for me anyway)and it’s a prized possession for its posterity Thanx for tuning me up
Here's to you George Mack will.never forget you or this I sure the fuck tried to get to Davenport that fuvking night to see them fuck didn't work out sure the fuck.tried miss you so God damn much already fuck now listening to Tommy Bolin God damien miss you so much
Most underrated Heavy Metal group of all time-- MSG’s solo on Rock Bottom is in my top 5 of all time , not just because of his awesome ability but the whole band contributes on it, the “ walking “ baseline , rhythm guitar not overpowering but heavy, and the complete song chord change .... nearly perfect- I get emotional when I hear it !!!!!
1995 version of "Lights out" and "Doctor doctor" are the ultimate ones! You think Schenker couldn't play them better than before..and here they are, another killer studio performance! I love Walk on water, it's such a great album 🤘🤘
Agreed! I still fight with my friends about which version is the best. Thankful this one exists on YT, very hard to find unless you know exactly what you're looking for in this particular version.
Absolutely, hands down, the most bad ass band live, ever. Michael Schenker is a true guitar God. When he solos, he makes that ax talk. Which puts him in a class of players like Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and Alex Lifeson.
Beena big fan of UFO for years but didn't realise that Michael Schenker was the guitar player. I always had him as just part of the Michael Schenker Group! What a fool I am!
The Lights Out album is pound for pound one of the greatest rock albums ever made! Sadly it and the band never got the respect they so richly deserved.
@@davespin9034 BTW this is not the live version. I own an LP where at one point you hear "Lights out! Lights out Chicago! " and everyone screams, very nice!
UFO is one of my all-time fav bands EVER! Schenker is one of the best to ever pick-up a guitar, one of my all-time favorites and a main influence on my playing! Got to see em live with this line-up......EPIC!! But, this isn't the original studio track......very cool, but not the version released on the album.
Pretty sure Schenker invented the “face melting” guitar solo. After all these years I still notice all these little nuances that just blow me away. True master of his craft
Michael"s playing on this song and Rock Bottom are two of the best recordings of lightening in a bottle guitar playing ever heard and fortunately caught on tape played by a teenager no less. His phrasing, timing, and building of the tension in his solos are unmatched 50 years later.
I'm a belated UFO fan, but nonetheless I consider this song to be one of the greatest rockers UFO ever made. I love their classic 1973-1979 period, but I was first introduced to UFO by the '85 Misdemeanour live DVD which is an amazing live document. I just got the new 5CD Chrysalis Years 1973-1979 box set from EMI for a price of one new CD, I think it's great thing to have these classic albums at last...
I saw them with Rush in the 70s. Before coming on stage they played a UFO-type intro. I’d never heard of them before, but was so impressed that after the concert I made it a point to listen to every one of their songs I could find.
I was a 16 year old a sophomore in high school just outside Chicago and the Lights Out album came out. Not a bad song on it...got a ton of air time and put these guys in the mainstream. Me and my friends would break out the bong and it was a great way to spend the afternoon blasting it out of my Jensen triaxials
During the late 70's and early 80's we played this song and it was always a blast. So many great Memories. Music today will never compare with jams of the 70's. Peace, Love and Rock N Roll !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love this song , I'm 54 in the mid 80's I went to Baldwin park high, few years later when my little brother was just there, they had a talent show we had a metal band and did our version of light out on steroids , I played lead guitar using my Yamaha amp also plugged into a peavey TNT base amp, it sounded soo badass when we started lights out it was so freaking heavy some parents grabbed their kids and ran out of the auditorium, it sounded like a war of helicopters landings on the roof, awesome memories I listen to this song several times a week and never get tired of it , Rock On !!!!!
Somewhere out there is a video of "Lights Out" with film footage of aireal combat against the LuftWaffe in the 'Battle of Britain'. Excellent and stirring to watch and listen. The editor should be the King of Editors!!!!!
Schenker, Gilmour, West, Cantrell and John Sykes and Brian Robertson and Matthias Jabs have the best tones in rock and any genre and they are in my top 15 biggest influences for their overall greatness.
+dieter schanzer I think when Edward Van Halen's tone came out in 78 that was an oh my god time like how the hell is he making that guitar sound like that.not saying Schenker's a pushover at all,please.both greats.
I was listening to UFO in the 80's. got a phone call from some of my mates asking me to bring round some music this album got them all hooked on the band.
Grew up in 80's. Head banger here, yet I never knew this band or song. Recently heard it on the radio and loved it, just never could find out who the band was. Well after some searching, I found out. Still love this song, forever more!
Schenker is an amazing innovator at scale segments with bends and soloing chord progressions - unmistakable when he plays because he Just Does It Better than anyone else.
if you ever get a chance to see Michael Shenker live, do it! the guy loves to play music you can feel it in the way he plays live and the expression on his face.
I definitely hear this in strypers ‘more than a man’...absolutely nothing wrong with that! This is a killer jam and Stryper has said all along ufo is a huge influence
Hard rock at it's finest! An absolute fuckin masterpiece from one of the best ever. This is one of the hardest songs ever to grace my ears, thank you lord and thank you UFO!!!
I was drumming in a band called Watt in 81-82 and we covered this song. I always had a blast playing this on my 77 Ludwig classics. which I still have and play. if only I had a time machine.
i play this song on drums every day on kitt , never played it in band , gutted , its the song i most like to play as well, how did you play in did you use double bass pedal or single
i can feel a lovely left hand groove wen plying it , i like playing for warm up , , just love this track more than any other ufo song , unless there some song i missed
+Barry Spencer what's there not to love. you have good taste in music. right now I'm listening to Mercyful Fate don't break the oath album, old but awesome.
I heard this on Real XS Manchester and I was instantly transported back to my bedroom. Long hair and air drums. My Bass pedal foot hammering on the floor, my mum (RIP) used to bang on the ceiling with the broom handle :) Where has the time gone? My two Daughters 7 and 9 know all the words to this, how cool is that?
+dave nightingale God fucking damn it, don't ever let your daughters listen to crap music, keep on showing them the stuff the dreams are made of! If I ever have any kids, they will also listen to UFO, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden etc. or I will put them up for adoption ;)
Bought this never hearing or knowing this music. It was in the discount rack. I was earning $7 a week as a paperboy. Best unknow buy ever. Going to buy this CD I feel like I found a old friend.
Remember .....also.....this is a studio album......it sounds so alive.....geez.......i what to see one player......who can......capture that killer playing....i dont believe it will happen in my lifetime.....very possibly.....never......thank you MSG.......
These guys were far ahead of their time. Greatly influenced Mettalica and Van Halen..huge influence on metal before it was a well know genre in the early 80s.
It bursts out of the gates with an in-your-face vibe that never lets up. Michael's explosive solo on the "Strangers in the Night" album is the best of all time! This is Led Zep and AC/DC on steroids.
![Dio - Rainbow In The Dark (Official Music Video) [HD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/PrBUjXaRSUQ/mqdefault.jpg)
This is one of my favorite bands from the 70s still sounds great in 2023
And right now in April 2024 too!!!!!!!!!!
This song is fucking heavier than most 'metal bands' today, people dont know how to capture the energy like this anymore.
I'm old enough to be one of those who rocked to this song and group but, I don't know if they called it heavy metal back then. We called it hard rock!!

James Miltenberger Jr : Class of 83. You are correct. Not heavy or hard. Average for the time.
The pretty reckless
Amen
RIP Pete Way. Thanks for all the good music.
RIP Pete Way, Paul Raymond and Paul Chapman...
The power and finesse behind Michael Schenker’s guitar is unsurpassed. He must be considered to be among the elite guitarists of all time.
It's not schenker
Play his music
This guitarist is younger faster and broader on the fretboard
If not Schenker, what is the name of the guitarist? 🤔
It surely sounded like Schenker to me...
@@matthewdelaney4395 In 1977 Schenker was young. The playing style sounds like Schenker to me.
@SIMON WOODS you are dead on correct my friend
I have a picture disc that I bought in 1982
It’s the Scorpions debut album Lonesome Crow and Mike is 16 when he and his brother laid down the tracks
Klaus’ accent is thick to the point of unintelligible (for me anyway)and it’s a prized possession for its posterity
Thanx for tuning me up
PAUL CHAPMAN MSG HAD QUIT BEFORE THIS.
2020 - proud to be one of those swimming against the mainstream shit that’s being played these days
yeah, I am 15 years and I can say that I feel GREAT listening to rock 'n' roll
Dude awsome trust
Good to know people like music?
i like mainstream music and other genres like soul and rock and orchestral too! it's good to expand your horizons :)
Here's to you George Mack will.never forget you or this I sure the fuck tried to get to Davenport that fuvking night to see them fuck didn't work out sure the fuck.tried miss you so God damn much already fuck now listening to Tommy Bolin God damien miss you so much

Ever hear of U.D.O?
Schenker and Uli John Roth together solo on Rock Bottom is ..... greatest.
cannot say it better than that !!!
This isn't heavy metal lol it's just rock and roll
Hard rock.
Phil Moog and the Schenker brothers, some of thee best hard rock ever!!!
Been rocking out to these guys since I was a little kid in the 70's They will always rule !!!!!!
Yeah, along with Thin Lizzy, and The Who!
They influenced a lot of the bands we have now
Eddie Trunk?
Me too.
Right on! 👍
1995 version of "Lights out" and "Doctor doctor" are the ultimate ones! You think Schenker couldn't play them better than before..and here they are, another killer studio performance! I love Walk on water, it's such a great album 🤘🤘
This is the best version of this timeless piece of rock-n-roll brilliance...Long live UFO.
First and best concert I ever saw! 1979 and 14 years old. Rock On!
This is the best recorded version of Light's Out! Love Michael Schenker's wailing Guitar!
Agreed! I still fight with my friends about which version is the best. Thankful this one exists on YT, very hard to find unless you know exactly what you're looking for in this particular version.
Absolutely, hands down, the most bad ass band live, ever. Michael Schenker is a true guitar God. When he solos, he makes that ax talk. Which puts him in a class of players like Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and Alex Lifeson.
I actually think Alex and Michael are on top of my list with the others below but just my opinion.
@@franklerma3754 z
Good to see Alex getting a mention, you know your stuff, criminally underrated player and such a funny guy!
Beena big fan of UFO for years but didn't realise that Michael Schenker was the guitar player. I always had him as just part of the Michael Schenker Group! What a fool I am!
Absolutely...Michael Schenker and Uli Jon Roth, both with the early Scorpions, are two geniuses overlooked for the past 50 years...
The Lights Out album is pound for pound one of the greatest rock albums ever made! Sadly it and the band never got the respect they so richly deserved.
Agreed. Probably the best live album of all time. So many parties and beautiful women.
Well said!
@@davespin9034 BTW this is not the live version. I own an LP where at one point you hear "Lights out! Lights out Chicago! " and everyone screams, very nice!
I’m going with Assault Attack, Michael schenker group, but this is a great record
This song always sounds great loud on my speaker on the driveway with neighbors having a few cocktails! 🥰
One of the greatest albums in the golden age of arena rock.
Great song from a great band.Schenker's tone and timing is rock solid!!!!!
My favorite ufo song! Straight up, it rocks hard! One of the best metal songs ever I think!
we know.. its badass
Still a timeless song. Real music from a real band.
UFO is one of my all-time fav bands EVER! Schenker is one of the best to ever pick-up a guitar, one of my all-time favorites and a main influence on my playing!

Must have been a huge influence on Warren demartini
MS always had those in your face solos with those quick licks throughout the song
@Joe Calabrese, Yes, Michael was a influence for Warren DeMartini.
This is the best version of this song I have ever heard, the remix is fantastic the guitar sound really stands out much better!!!
Magic .....pure magic.
As of today August 14, 2020 Pete Way has died RIP Pete Way
So Sad. RIP Pete. great bass player and essential part of the band! without whom this band wouldn't have been complete .
R.I.P.
Juan Crocier copied every stage antic Pete ever did. Pete was a great player.
Michael"s playing on this song and Rock Bottom are two of the best recordings of lightening in a bottle guitar playing ever heard and fortunately caught on tape played by a teenager no less. His phrasing, timing, and building of the tension in his solos are unmatched 50 years later.
Most kick ass guitar solo! Freakin amazing! Especially for the time, I can still remember the first time I heard, hair blew back!
I wish I still had hair to blow back..
Had the vinyl of this when I was in HS in the early eighties. It's a really good record, even the Love cover. RIP Pete.
another group that is very underrated these guys are really good they deserve to be recognized more
R.I.P. Pete....Awesome Bassist!!
I'm a belated UFO fan, but nonetheless I consider this song to be one of the greatest rockers UFO ever made. I love their classic 1973-1979 period, but I was first introduced to UFO by the '85 Misdemeanour live DVD which is an amazing live document.

this version is better than the remastered one
Incredible song. I started playing guitar because of songs like this one. Vocals, guitar, drums, tight!
The best rock song in 1977 good year for Michel shenker
How about "Warrior" by Riot?
70's Rock Music is such a treasure these days.
Omg. You it all there. No better era ever
@@willhalyak3737
80'S DAMN GOOD TOO.......
no doubt about that!
Sounds better everyday
I'm lost in it everyday!!!
Michael’s playing is so sharp and crystal clear. It’s really awesome and mesmerizing at the same time 🔥
So many good memories from this amazing underrated band. We played them all the time on our crazy tours and things 40 years ago. Respect
I saw them with Rush in the 70s. Before coming on stage they played a UFO-type intro. I’d never heard of them before, but was so impressed that after the concert I made it a point to listen to every one of their songs I could find.
what a cracking live band back in the day miss them days but great memories
Hey Stefan G ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,am still listening in 2021.......................anyone else listening to one of the UK's finest ........
UFO live really really kicked ass 🎸🤘😎👍
Michael is a Guitar HERO !!!🎶🇩🇪🇺🇸
In the 70s, talent was more important than glamour.

Me and my friends would break out the bong and it was a great way to spend the afternoon blasting it out of my Jensen triaxials
Coaxials and Triaxials. Those were the stereo in the car days. With the right music - they just left you in heaven.
That Metal Show brought me here..........brilliant!!
+Joseph Bruno not the only one Trunk introduced me to them now i can't stop listening to them
During the late 70's and early 80's we played this song and it was always a blast. So many great Memories. Music today will never compare with jams of the 70's. Peace, Love and Rock N Roll !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Real music.
Saw UFO, British Lions and Blue Oyster Cult in 1978. WOW, they were all great. Closest to the albums I ever heard anyone.
Every time I saw UFO, they were Right On
what a rock line up to hear and see!
Greatest version of one of the First Really Heavy Metal Hymns!!!!!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
Somewhere out there is a video of "Lights Out" with film footage of aireal combat against the LuftWaffe in the 'Battle of Britain'. Excellent and stirring to watch and listen. The editor should be the King of Editors!!!!!
KMET 94.7 FM , HAD THIS IN HEAVY ROTATION , THE LIVE VERSION BACK THE 80'S 👍👍 !!
The mighty Met! Loved that station.
Kmet in Los Angeles.I remember they promoted major rock concerts on southern California.

1977...first time I heard UFO, I saw them live
as a warm up band. They freaking stole the show!
Same here, man. Exactly how I was turned on to them. It was also '77. Opened for Cheap Trick.
Grew up in 80's. Head banger here, yet I never knew this band or song. Recently heard it on the radio and loved it, just never could find out who the band was. Well after some searching, I found out. Still love this song, forever more!
+Kimmy Wallace Grew up in the 80s to. Class of 86, was also a head banger. Then time flies you get older.
Yes it does jason75.
+Kimmy Wallace if you like this, you'll love Budgie.
+Lisa white Budgie oh yeah! Another massively under rated band.
+Kimmy Wallace Class of 90 here, love this song along with all of UFO's beyond incredible material.
The sound track to my adolescent antics. Very comforting memory.
Schenker is an amazing innovator at scale segments with bends and soloing chord progressions - unmistakable when he plays because he Just Does It Better than anyone else.
Heard this first while swanning around Thailand in 1988. Blew me away. Possibly the most underrated band of their era.
what is this band's link with Thailand? I've seen so many comments on their videos in Thai language
Such an exciting mood created in this song...as well as just stellar musicianship...those were the days...listening to this now it's still fantastic.
One of the most if not the most underrated rock band from the 70's/80's.
if you ever get a chance to see Michael Shenker live, do it! the guy loves to play music you can feel it in the way he plays live and the expression on his face.

UFO was a staple on KSHE radio in St Louis in the 70s
Huge on the Loop in Chicago. No suprise Strangers in the Night was recorded there.
This album and Specters by Blue Oyster Cult were two of my most favorite from 1977. So underappreciated and underrated.
Went to see them with my Bro😢I was young...
Will never forget ❤
You will truly be missed Pete, RIP.
I was drumming in a band called Watt in 81-82
and we covered this song. I always had a blast playing this on my 77 Ludwig classics. which I still have and play. if only I had a time machine.
i play this song on drums every day on kitt , never played it in band , gutted , its the song i most like to play as well, how did you play in did you use double bass pedal or single
+Barry Spencer two bass drums with single pedals. double pedals were not available to me in the early 80's.
i can feel a lovely left hand groove wen plying it , i like playing for warm up , , just love this track more than any other ufo song , unless there some song i missed
is it remarsted this version sounds like it was recorded yesterday
+Barry Spencer what's there not to love. you have good taste in music. right now I'm listening to Mercyful Fate don't break the oath album, old but awesome.
Such a great song that unfortunately most people never heard of.
Musical excellence....a Junior High fave back in the 80s.
Incredibly underrated!
+Amber Greene The whole album is a masterpiece
Amber Greene .......Totally agree....see my previous comment
Michael and the whole band are just awesome in this song.
Just discovered this song and it rocks! Another one for my 70's music compilation. Rock On!
I heard this on Real XS Manchester and I was instantly transported back to my bedroom. Long hair and air drums. My Bass pedal foot hammering on the floor, my mum (RIP) used to bang on the ceiling with the broom handle :) Where has the time gone? My two Daughters 7 and 9 know all the words to this, how cool is that?
+dave nightingale OMG of all the places to hear it, I heard it first there too!
Ha Ha Brilliant minds

Bought this never hearing or knowing this music. It was in the discount rack. I was earning $7 a week as a paperboy. Best unknow buy ever. Going to buy this CD I feel like I found a old friend.
"$7 a week as a paperboy" ... you rich bastard...I earned maybe $5.00
Thanks I have been called worse
All these years later and this song is still freaking awesome!!!!
Remember .....also.....this is a studio album......it sounds so alive.....geez.......i what to see one player......who can......capture that killer playing....i dont believe it will happen in my lifetime.....very possibly.....never......thank you MSG.......
Lights out in East LA Michael Schenker Rudolf Schenker badass guitarist
Me and my brother and friend seen UFO at Lloyd Noble Center in 1981.
I saw many great rock bands there!
I saw them on 2009 and 3 years later I saw Michael with his band...amazing experiences! They were fantastic, I still have goosebumps!
I saw them in 1978 with AC/DC (Bon Scott era). It was incredible! My first rock concert, at 18 years of age.
This song is great, best music ever
Why can’t they come up with this awesome music anymore!
Radio stations won't play it.
cuz james Hetfield is the table
Micheal Horton just said what I was thinking.Went to see these at Lancaster Uni in the 70's and they rocked.Love them forever.
Saw UFO live in 1977. Saw MSG live in 1988. Saw Michael Schenker Fest live in 2019. The best of the "three worlds" of Michael Schenker.
Finest UFO Masterpiece gotta love this tune forever Omg getting chills now lights out in London full tight till the end brothers and sisters
Markus Luetolf Fuck yeah dude
Who...in God's name...gave this a thumbs down? WTF???
DEAF
I think it was Kayne Trump
must be rappers
This version don't hold a candle to the original.
Theres so many sphincter thumbs out there
Сколько концертов рокеры 50 60 70 80 зделали супер музыканты
Those metal riffs are legit. Schenker is a rock god. This was 1977
I blew up a stereo system in a Kmart back in 1980 with this album.... literally had smoke come out of the speaker cones...
These guys were far ahead of their time. Greatly influenced Mettalica and Van Halen..huge influence on metal before it was a well know genre in the early 80s.
It bursts out of the gates with an in-your-face vibe that never lets up. Michael's explosive solo on the "Strangers in the Night" album is the best of all time! This is Led Zep and AC/DC on steroids.
One of the best live metal bands of the early 80s.
The greatest metal band you've never heard. Got mass airplay in the late 70s, early 80s...then gone. Why? UFO is the shit!!!!
yes... you can say that again... red hot band
live band legend, but not really a radio band maybe?
Man, that's a great tune.
This song was way ahead of its time. Owned the album.
I used to play bass to this in a cover band in the early '80s.
I don’t think this is the original studio recording but still love it one of my favorite !
One of my favourite bands and on of my favourite songs! Awesome playing from MS!
Back in the day...I had two bands, that were mine, nobody had heard them...It was Foghat...and UFO
Damn I never realized how much Slash plays lead like this dude. Amazing ❤
Even better than I remember.
