Lights out, UFO, then UP THE IRONS!

Half cocked wah for that tone is the key.

[@stevenbultman7811]

I rip off the half cocked wah sometimes in my band

[@stevenbultman7811]

Actually, there are a lot of things I learned from UFO I use all the time.

[@justarandomguy2126]

Iron maiden guitarists owe Schenker a lot! Even the song itself inspired the band for the trooper, I'm pretty sure.

[@DaveStubbs-bq6kg]

My first concert was my sophomore year in HS. 1979. UFO played with Aerosmith, Van Halen , Toto and others at the L.A. Colesium. UFO nearly stole the show. They blew us all away ! And I'll never forget bassist Pete Way running back and forth on stage and exhibiting sheer electricity. R.I.P. Pete. You were one of the greatest rockers of all time !

[@Marc-lq2qf]

Super live performance ! UFO was one of the greatest bands of pure hard rock , without contest.

[@mikehayden7330]

So blessed to have been a teenager in the 70's and see the greatest bands of that era like UFO live.

[@davidbeck2270]

I grew up in Chicago. Saw ufo every time they played in the 70s. So I was there for the recording of strangers in the night. One of the best live albums ever. I'm 65 now and I'm so glad I grew up with all these great bands in my teen years. I listen to this music today and will continue till I draw my last breath. Music was written composed and performed with pure talent and authenticity you won't hear today

[@Petesworkshop2225]

The way Michael can pull any note at any time is amazing. Great melodic ear.

​@@defunctuserchannel It will be a coffee table book. UFO should have been hugely huger than they were. They wipe the floor with so many bands that kept getting shoved down our throats by radio and the music press.

UFO's greatness around this time is entirely due to the fact they were an ensemble. Shenker rips, yes, but Mogg is uncanny, anchored by Way and Parker and Raymond. this performance is epic, gives me goosebumps every time.

@@V3ntilator And I say ‘hello’ back. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Schenker’s work but Paul was a point of difference. He sang great, played great guitar as well as keyboards. Other bands had great guitarists but not many had someone like Paul. He added a extra layer that other bands lacked.

[@michaelbieber4502]

Totally EPIC! Love it wish I was there! Michael 😳⚡️💥🔥💯

Michael Schenker is one of my favorite guitarists of all time, is unique in my opinion.

Schenker was unreal, and Andy Parker was beating those drums like they owed him money.

[@chitownbluesy]

I was at Strangers when it was recorded, Friday the 13th October, 1978, and listening to Michael's leads here STILL gives me goose bumps. His US tour kicks off tomorrow night in Redondo Beach, California and I'll see at least 3 of these shows. I've seen him well over 50 times, and NEVER been disappointed! He's been my favorite since '75, the first time I saw him. Long live Michael Schenker!

[@KrupaDrums]

Amazing, at the peak of their powers. Schenker's playing is unreal!

[@lwmillerlwmiller]

Was fortunate enough to see them live in 1978. AC/DC was their warmup band. Yep.

[@emoryclements]

UFO.....was on top of their game....rock music today just does not have this type of power and ripping guitar solos. Rock on!!!

[@90glassrd]

My first ever concert was seeing UFO live in Edinburgh way back when, on their last UK tour with Michael Schenker. Saw them a few times after that with Chapman, but although they were great, one of my all time favourite rock bands, they didn`t quite have the same bite as they had with Michael. Thinks me that Obsession is the best rock album ever, which should have catapulted them supersonic.

[@lifeisnice23]

Guitar God Michael Schenker, unbelievable player! 🤘🤘

[@travkatz]

man I can't believe it. This is the best live band of all time. I had no idea this existed. This line up was IT. No other band I know of sounded so much better than their studio recordings in concert.

[@CubsFan2023]

Michael Schenker has become one of my favorite guitarists. It's hard to believe he was only 20 when the "Lights Out" album was released.

[@curtisreid9100]

20! Isn't that crazy? After he ditched UFO (bad mistake - they had all the right ingredients for a household supergroup!) he was great on LOVE DRIVE but his solo stuff was a letdown for me. I couldn't even tell you a name of any of his songs they were so MOR mmeehhh. (I'm sorry!) Love this band though!

[@dconstantine2770]

I have only 'stumbled' upon this metal masterpiece (thanks Sirius) and I have been to many, many concerts... This is a waaaay underrated, overlooked, hidden golden work of metal wonder, unless, alas, I was once again late to the party (no surprise there!) ... This guy burns (all apologies) and I can so hear those licks in those '80's burns and beyond... WOW!!!

[@glennaugustyn5209]

One of my favorite Kick- Ass bands in the world. Would love to see them live. Just great Hard Rock and influenced many bands like Def Lepperd and Iron Maiden. Come on guys come to America one more time PLEASE Glenn Augustyn

[@62gdh]

First heard/played this band's stuff wayyyyy back in the 80's, had to ad-be the solo. Still can't touch that Schenker guy. He did a great service both with UFO and with his brother in the Scorpions back in the day... Thanks for a GREAT video. What a phenom/underated axeman.

[@dah960]

Been a year or 2 since listening. Yup. Still goosebumps

[@chemo045]

I was lucky to see UFO in London with Schencker just before he quit in 1979. It was my first concert and they were great. I agree they aren't heavy metal but were probably prety heavy for the time.

[@marlonbeare]

Such a talented band.

[@michaelmonfils2642]

Anybody who truly loves rock guitar knows of Michael Schenker. Any famous rock guitarist worth his salt who has done his research while learning his craft will acknowledge Michael's contribution to their success.

Man, this is an absolute gem! Brings back so many memories of when hard rock/metal was just taking off. People today give Metallica waaaayy too much credit for the emergence of metal, but look no further than bands like UFO who were ripping just as hard for their time!

I don't give Metallica ANY credit for the "emergence of metal" - I think you're talking about youngsters who don't know about Sabbath, Purple, Heep, and Zep...

[@groovyone]

​​@@DunmoresMovieManiaompletely agree. To me metal started in the mid 60's. Even before bands like Sabbath or Zeppelin. Deep Purple and Cream are just 2 examples. Deep Purple should be on the Mt. Rushmore of Metal. They are so forgotten in this regard.

[@sammyvh11]

This was an incredible band with Schenker

[@larrycoker8093]

Just me thinking here, the "Lights Out' album came out in '77, a year before Van Galen's debut did. From all I've read and heard over 40+ years, quite a few great guitarists were intimidated by Eddie. With all due respect to Eddie, and he's one of my all-time favorites, I seriously doubt Michael was intimidated at all!This is my long-winded way of saying that Michael didn't play 2nd to anybody. IMO, he's as good a rock guitarist as anybody and better than most!
