Wow this is incredible! UFO was the first band I ever saw live, on their "Force It" tour. They played an old song "Buttercup" & Schenker played all these cool blues riffs on it. I always wanted to hear him play more in that vein. He doe's it here....Thanx for sharing!!! :)
@mimosa87 TOO MUCH DRUMMING!?? hahahehehoho do u perhaps come from the land of 4/4? or AC/DC land? listen to terry bozzio for an overdose of drumtasticals. or dream theater or porcupine tree. just sayin... : )
@yumberri Not at all. I love a good prog drummer like Neil Peart or Bill Bruford. Just think a song like this depends on the groove the bass and drums lay down, and sometimes too much going on clutters it up. Especially in bluesy rock.
I love MS, but I'm not sure he does Trower better. Don't you think Trower is better with the distortion and Wah Wah? I think Michael should never have left UFO. Too bad he did.
@theheitman Dude,Dont be a moron ok?...its called respect...And thats what MS is doing here...Michael didnt need UFO...they needed him....HGe did ok...theyre both gret players...STFU and listen with your brain...not with your mouth.
Wish Schenker had a full time singer this good....and I wish he did this style of bluesy kick ass tune more often, but I still love him. Going to see Trower again soon for the 3rd time.....just killer.
I really enjoy both albums they did...Pattison is great vocalist. That old bluesy edge. He fits right in w/ Trower. Love Schenkers playing on both of these cd;s...Hope he does more.
Love the way Schenker doesn't overplay anything on this song. Let's the groove wander and burrow its way under your skin into the pit of your stomach.....and just viibbbrrrrrattte so nicely. Great tribute to the monster talent that was and is Robin Trower. Used to play this song as a "Nightcap" to calm down after a wild night out on the town, driving home in my 1973 Buick GS-455, high output...... memories.....thanks for posting!
What a trip, I did the same thing. I had a yellow 1972 GS-455. Convertible. Never wish i had sold it in 84. Went to many concerts in that car,including a few of Robins and UFO.
Great cover! Michael's playing is awesome as always!

Schenker has such a command of the fretboard. You never hear him play the same phrase twice. Not many guitar players you can say that about.

Davey sounds great and MS does the song justice. Having a tough time with the rhythm section, though. Drumming really plods along.

Schenker doesn't overplay, but the drummer sure as hell does, especially during the chorus. Give me Trower's drummer any day.
