U.F.O.-Strangers In The Night

A double live album recorded on their Obsession tour in 1978. These songs were recorded in Illinois and Kentucky. Although promoting the Obsession album there is only one song from that record on here “Only You Can Rock Me”. There are songs from every record with the ’73 lineup of Phil Mogg, Michael Schenker, Andy Parker and Pete Way. Paul Raymond plays keyboards. The bulk of the material is from the Force It record. This is a used record I bought sometime after moving to the western part of Berks county in 2016 after living in the far eastern part for 20 months. First time listening to this one. Side three is best with “Lights Out” and “Rock Bottom” with Schenker playing an extended solo. In fact there are solos all over this record and Phil Mogg’s voice sounds as good as ever. The cover and record are in good shape although the recording itself is not one of the best I’ve heard. Michael Schenker left the band after this tour to start his own band.
