UFO- Strangers in the Night

Anybody who hasn’t heard the seminal guitar player of Michael Schenker hasn’t lived. The 70’s was an experimental time in music and fans were open to all sorts of music and influences and ideas and so on. Their demand for explorative musical ideas to existing and new material spawned a lot of the studio double albums and LIVE album releses of the time. UFO’s Strangers in the Night released in 1979 was one of them.  Recorded in the USA over two nights it captured the UFO sound and Michael’s playing in all its glory cementing his position as a guitar hero and player extraordinaire.

Another album in contention for the best LIVE album of all time, the classic lineup of Phil Mogg -Vocals,  Michael Schenker- Guitar, Paul Raymond- Guitar and Keyboards, Pete Way- Bass and Andy Parker – Drums , play through the UFO catalogue including the smash hit Doctor Doctor,  Only You Can Rock Me, I’m a Loser, Let it Roll and carry with them the emotions of not only those who were there but the listener as well. The deafening roar of the crowd is proof enough of the impact of the show.
