  • I would kill for a full video of a show from that time period. Thanks AXEFLYERFV. You post the coolest stuff. Didn't even know this existed!

  • LEGENDARY!!!

  • what the hell is camp rock and how is it related to this song?

  • this is my ALL time favorite song by them :) :)

    <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  • Awesome

  • My Gosh! Michael Schenker is sooooo young! Thanks for posting this video. Awesome!

  • This is amazing!!!!

  • imagine...UFO and Bon Scott era ACDC ....

  • what a fucking fantastic solo. never fails to inspire and uplift.

  • UFO would be a huge band if the dumbasses at classic rock radio here in America played songs like this and Too Hot To Handle  instead of overplaying shit like Boston (puke)

  • I saw them open for Aerosmith in Evansvile, Indiana, in early 1978. Good times! Thanks for posting, great memories.

  • YES

  • They don't make bands like this nowadays! UFO one of the greatest ever,

    Michael Schenker one of the greatest players ever, flashy at times but with so much soul and feeling.Unbeatable.

  • I just wanted to say to you AXEFLYERFV that i THANK YOU from my heart and ears for all the vvideo's you have posted with Michael and all the different bands and players he has worked with over his amazing career, He is in my top three Favorite Guitarist's, and i'm so glad to see all this mastery in it's finest form !!! THANKS AGAIN, KEEP THAT FLYING V FLYING !!!!!

  • @GranP Thank you so much for taking the time to post your kind comment, very much a[ppreciated!

    Michael sure deserves alot more credit than he's gotten,He is true Genius!

    thnx again & as long as am alive the FLYING V will continue to fly high here on YT!

    Take care!

  • As a musician and a guitar player I'm not a fan of keyboards in a band. I don't feel it's "pure". There are only a few exceptions and UFO is one of them.

  • @ruggbutt Essentially the same exact reasons I neglected bands like UFO and Rainbow when they were in their prime. It was more about Kiss, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Sabbath, NWOBHM and harder bands, and there was no shotage of acts, like there is now. Keyboards were not popular and lack of radio play contributed equally to depriving them of the popularity that they deserved, but they will go down as one of the greatest rock bands in history and their records will be selling for decades to come.

  • bass player's wearing dots instead of stripes!! Pete, quit f**king with my head!! lol

  • I heard a rerecording of this on Rock Radio but I can't seem to find it. Any one know of UFO rerecording this recently?

  • Shenker jesteś wielki.

  • Pete Way was fantastic in these sets and with Waysted and Fastway as well. Great Stuff!!!

  • great tune...i still have this on red vinyl..33ep with cherry n rock bottom!..i saw u-f-o many years ago a few times..i even have the badge with''i saw ufo'' on it! lol fabulous times n memories!

  • I love UFO

  • amavo questo gruppo....ero un ragazzino...cazzo come passa il tempo...

  • Fav video EVER. Has some glitches but I can't stop playing this one. Indicative of an era. May it inspire 10,000 guitarists. Now where's that amp....?

  • UFO at their peak, and my favorite Michael Schenker solo. Too bad he left, lord only knows what could've been.. I did like the Michael Schenker Group though and UFO with Tonka.

  • amazing solo - one of the greats, massive feeling

  • @Pigfingers you're welcome ! : ).............

  • @Pigfingers No man,I didn't take it as an offence,sorry if my replied sounded in a bad way!!

    everything is cool,you were just telling a fact!!

  • @Pigfingers that is the reason is called a PROMO VIDEO they all mime on Promo videos,I have posted the live versions of this song !

  • haha i played this on guitar for my 8th grade talent show last year.

  • @johnrocks937 it'll be great if you post the video of that performance or do another video & show as how you play it,just a thought,that's all!

    thnx for watching!

  • @AXEFLYERFV actually type in (only you can rock me at talent show) and i have my video. i did better than i thought i would being my first "live" experience but anyhoo check it out

  • thanks for uploading dude! yeah! i am alive!

  • eat shit for lady gaga. long live rock n roll. im 19 but my heart is in the 70's and 60's. yeah.

  • Mint

  • it's one of those solos you can sing in your head for days ...

    thanks for posting AXE........

  • Extraordinarios todos aquí!!!

    Michael Schenker...lo Máximo!!!

    Phil Mogg.....Superfabuloso!!!

  • Si ellos reinaban bien alto precisamente en en esos anos,pero estos fueron los ultimos momentos con Schenker en guitarra despues se fue!!

    que lastima!!

  • god the 70's were awesome. i dig the 80s too, i was born way too late haha

  • I distinctly remember the first time I heard UFO when I was a freshmen in H.S. in '76. From then on, UFO became a way to bond with someone and you knew you could trust their musical sensibilities. My best bud/man had a convertable Jeep back then we used to party and cruise the lakefront of Chicago( does anyone remember the "Hill") and UFO was reserved for our 'arrival" Everyone would flock to the jeep! Chicks,dudes,freaks,burnouts,.­..cops! was killed 2 months ago

  • I like this song but I really hate videos that use the studio recordings and make it look like a live performance when it clearly isn't , it shows a complete lack of originality take "Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the dark" for instance.

  • schenker is a guitar saint

    love his technique one day ill be like him you watch

    =D

  • It was all there for the taking....no one even came close at that time, what happened?

  • Mogg and Schenker were fighting alot at the end. One night backstage Mogg punched Schenker in the stomach. He said "bye". That was the end.

  • that happened when they reuninted too. MS said "if Phil keeps hitting me I will quit".......MS had to quit. Shame.

    Pete and Phil look like softies in their stage gear but they are both, I was told, hard as fk and you'd have to be pretty dumb to pick a fight with either of them!!

  • I don't think Schenker was starting anything. He may have brought on some of the heat with the "craziness" in the end of UFO. But I think Phil should have known what was coming if he punched him in the stomach. I'm sure it happened more than once. Schenker can't be replaced as a guitar player.

    He and Roth were easily the best hard rock lead guitar players of the 70's. To me, it's not even close.

  • mogg is the hard bastard....former boxer and very hady still today at 60! pete way was never hard/tough.....i have seen his girlfriends thump him and hes been in tears....get well soon anyway pete......liver damage - oooh

  • ufo live one of the best live lps ever check it out

  • The band I'm in are going to cover this. Can't wait for practice session on Saturday :)

  • did your band cover the song? and are you guys wearing spandex jump suits when you play the song. LOL j/k

  • best rock band ever!!!!!!!!

  • It's good to see another person keeping rock 'n' roll alive and not supporting crap like akon or rhianna

  • Thnx man,I don't even know who Akon & rhianna are but I take it they won't be my cup of tea!!

    right on!

  • Well, I'm new here and I;m also 60...[almost], years old, but YES they could & STILL do lay down the rock, check out ..."Walk On Water"...UFO of coarse

  • Right on brother,I missed your comment the first time,sorry about that!

  • where you lot been....?

  • Thanks for posting this and other classic vids. Just happened upon them on a boring Thurs. nigh. Saw these guys a few times back in the mid to late 70's and early 80's in Chicago and also saw MSG a few times also. These guys could definitely rock.

  • is that the Flying V he got painted black and white?

  • I don't think he did anything to this guitar,the B&W was made for him! his own MSV

    the Michael Schenker V.......!

  • That white one started out as a Medallion V, made in 1971. It is one of the ones that were painted black/white. The one on the cover of RWND was a block marker.

  • that's SUCH a guitar hero solo...clasic!

  • If this song was played now on some rock radio station people would be saying who is this!!! This is a great song and better and more melodic that the crap you hear on the radio now!

  • this band was on the way to becoming a huge act and then schenker left an they never made it,paul chapman was a good guitarist but they lost a lot of fans including me,i never bought anouthe ufo album

  • i'm with you there...never bought a post-schenker ufo album, never will.

  • sorry to hear that....you're missing out on some incredible tunes

  • Know how you feel man,but you have to hear 'the wild the willing and innocent,'

    its definetly the best UFO album without Schenker

  • agreed - awesome album tonka very underrated....

  • i'm digging that pete Way Thunderbird Bass....one of the coolest rock guitars ever........oh and the Flying V obviously !

  • Great video. Maybe the classic Schenker poster of him in that outfit came from this video shoot. Ahh, the pieces are all coming together now. Soon the world will be mine I tell you. Mine!

  • Yep...Us U.F.O. Fans are the chosen few..It was played only for us..Ya Know!!!Great Stuff Though Ain't It!!!!?

  • Thanks for posting this song. Listen for this song and many others like it on the upcoming internet radio show Off The Charts! Check out my home page for more details.

  • UFO fans!!!!!!

    Where were you when I was age 14 - 18, and there was no one who knew who the fuck I was talking about? All the others listened to "established" acts. It proved to me that my priorities were on the art and theirs on the pagentry. Thanks for validating what I always knew: UFO were the fucking best.

  • eidetecker, well said man!!. I dicover UFO in the mid-70's and continue to follow them. Great band...

  • i felt the same way...i was crazy about UFO but everyone around me was addicted to grateful dead and yes. not putting them down but it sure got old fast. only after obsession came out and they had the hits with this song and "too hot to handle" and did that situation start to change in my neck of the woods. my one satisfaction there is that i was able to turn on my best friends to ufo..thank goodness for that.

  • Dude can you message me and tell me your experienced with UFO and how you turned your friend to listen to. I love UFO and MSG.

  • @eidetecker i was right there with ya, buddy. ufo started to get a lot of airplay in my area in '75. initially, i heard let it roll and said who is this smokin band and why aren't they gigantic? most of my pals weren't as taken as i was. go figure

  • @eidetecker ...If you grew up in Chicago, everyone knew who UFO was. They were a headliner early on there. UFO was the best!

  • @eidetecker I was in Sunderland mate, in the UK, buying UFO vinyl with my pocket money saying "Why the fuck does everyone at school like all this crap in the charts."

  • Why is Camp Rock in related videos?!That's disturbing, that shouldn't be near any UFO video!

  • unfortunatelly I think is because the tittle of this song has the word ROCK in it,but I agree it sure has no business there!,

    let me try something here with the title to see if I can get rid of that stupid vid next door,lol!!

  • out of all the songs mentioning "rock" in them, youtube had to choose camp rock? Jonas Brothers and Michael Schenker don't match. lol

  • No match at all,,Mickey & Chucky,the pope & Al Capone,LOL!!

    now here's the funny part, check the page from joBrolover9 the uploader!!

  • I took the word ROCK from the title & still showing,I click on the camp video & only my video appears in between repeats of Camp Rock,disturbing indeed,I hadn't noticed it ,thnx for poinint it out I feel like I got PUNKED with that vid,maybe if I replace the RO for a FU my scare that video away!now it is begining to bother me !WTF?

  • I totally agree mate!

  • Loved this song. Love the whole Obsession Album. Hope my tip helps for future videos.

    Fuck WMG..

    .i am NOT the only one that thinks that. who agrees?

  • It sure did my friend,thank you so much !

    I agree for sure!

  • Love it, thnx!

    5*****

  • you're welcome Gina!

  • unlike all the dark and negative stuff today, this song feels so bright and positive, it sparkles!

    they don't make 'em like that anymore!

    LONG LIVE HEALTHY ROCK & ROLL!

  • Why can't anyone seem to make music like this anymore? UFO got me through high school.

  • UFO has always been one of my favorite bands. It's sad they never have received the recognition they deserve. Does anyone know how, or if it's even possible, to get them nominated for VH1 Rock Honors? Is VH1 still doing them?

  • saw them twice in early 1980's Liverpool empire great band, never hit the big time but out and out rockers!

  • Thank you so much for sharin' this great video I LOVE this song & band!!!

    Love & Light & Blessings, go out to Pete may God Bless and heal him!!! Amen

    ROCK ON!!!

    Jade, dancin' & prancin' & rockin' in bright fields in flight o fancy!!!

  • right on,thnx for tuning!

  • is something wrong with Pete? i haven't heard.

  • I just looked at the UFO website abd it stated that Pete Way is suffering from liver disease and couldn't play on their next LP. Hoping for a speedy recovery for Mr.Way...

  • I bet,with all the drinking for so many years is cathing with him,very sad but I wish him the best!

    thnx for the info!

  • ...one of .....if not even the greatest solo of all time !!!

  • lol cool little Michael solo for sure, but dial it back a bit lol

  • What do you mean by "DIAL IT BACK A BIT" & LITTLE MICHAEL SOLO"

    I just had to ask!

    thnx!

  • lol somebody said it was the greatest solo of all time. Great solo, but it's not the greatest of all time of course, and it's not even the greatest Michael solo of all time.  It's great though!

  • ravensmead could be right...this song makes me feel great!!!...and that solo is over the top...

  • I see what you mean,thnx!

  • Where do you get these vids from?

  • Michael Schenker is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. When did he leave UFO ?

  • around '78/'79 rejoined (& toured) UFO on & off about 3 times,last one was 1998!

  • and in 2000!

  • He was also playing the Donnington show with UFO and Uli Jon Roth in 2001!

    Amazing song btw <3

  • your right,Uli invited them to be part of his Uli & friends show,& indeed it was an Amazing show!

  • The Strangers in the Night version is muuuuch better than the studio version. They caught lightening in a bottle with that album.

  • Obsessions was one of the first lp's i bought way back...classic indeed.

  • Hadnt heard this in years, and since watching this video the songs permanantly stuck in my head !!

  • I agree with you,thnx for comment!

  • My God, this makes me feel old :-)

  • man,42 ,you just started your second youth,;)!!

  • Imagine.....these guys used to tour with AC/DC when Bon was still alive......Fuck!!!!

  • this is real music!!!!!

  • Bass player looks like Nikki Sixx...

  • not at all!

  • he looks more like a Ron Wood, Rod Stewart mix to me.

  • there are many bassist that took pete ways look,including the gibson bass he plays,and that includes nikki sixx.

  • In the another one like the other one category...

    This sounds the follow up to Too Hot To Handle.

    Not knocking it.. I love both songs!

  • i used to blast this song outdoors it rocks and i was just showing what real music sounds like!

  • Todays music is software, has nothing to do with actual music. This is the shit.

  • pretty sick solo

  • i saw them in 1974 and they did a killer show

  • those were the days,thnx for tuning in man!

  • Hmmm I think I heard this the first time in 1983 or so when I was 13. I actually thought it was kind of a cute song lol.

  • Great band. I wish I could live my twenties in the 70's.

    With the studio technology in 70's a band couldn't fake his talent. Today a piece of a software turns an idiot in a pop idol.

    Whats the great band in 2008? Coldplay? Bulshit!!

  • Awesome

  • im a kid 10 years old and i love this song and other 80's/70's rock music, i hate all kinds of music these days. i wish i grew up in the 80's. those who grew up in the 80's must be very lucky.

  • I think you're very lucky that you didn't fall into that hip hop,rap trash!

  • The 2008 UFO tour rocked like nothing else. Phil at 60 blew the doors off anything that is considered "competition". This guy is a FORCE!

  • Thank God I was growing up in this era & this is my music. I'd hate to be a kid today with all the shit music. UFO make the world rotate.

  • what a great sentiment herp.

    this is my music too.

    kids today wouldn't know a rock and roll song if it bit em in the ass.

  • Thank you!

  • I didn't grow up in this era but i would agree modern music sucks balls! Bands like UFO and Michael Schenker Group are legends

  • Good man!

  • You are lucky you grew up with this music. I have had to put up with the crap music from the late 90's up until now. If I didn't have bands like UFO, Queen and Deep Purple to listen to I'd go mad.

  • Good news....UFO are still around & you can step back at any time to listen to their art. Keep rocking, man!

  • 100% agree. It is unbelieveable how HORRIBLE ALL music is (most movies, too). There are NO bands (the ones they call bands put out 1 album in the time it took Zep or the Beatles to do their entire catalog) and are seriously gay. Rap bullshit and 1 hit wonder shit bands of today. No talent, can't play solos (poor kids have no guitar heroes...only "Rock Band" video games) and there are no charismatic, cool rock stars. But we do have technology!! It killed creativity, though.

  • mon favori depuis 1976 i look in 199777 in live here Belgium forest national, thank ufo ,the legend continued,thank Michael scenhker je t'oublierai jamais my friend in memory (for you Michael)

  • check out my video of only you can rock

    it´s me playing it on the guitar

  • Axel- saw them blow the Outlaws off the stage @ The Wharehouse in New Orleans in 1979!! Sickest Show

  • Jesus! Great footage! Schenk was at his best in the early days, after bouncing back and forth from the Scorpians, and then ultimately, with MSG. This was a drinking athem in Chicago in mid 80s, and made everything better. I hope you all can remember where you were at the first time you heard this classic. Thank you!

  • only UFO can rock me, rock me!

  • right on!

  • outstanding, thanks for posting -- UFO were criminally underappreciated in the U.S. At least Mike McCready of Pearl Jam appreciates 'em...he plays in a UFO tribute band that does an annual benefit. Introduced a PJ fan to Lights Out because of that.

  • thnx for your comment!

  • whoa whoa whoa!!! youve surpassed urself again axer!! jeeez....the CLASSIC line-up......SCHENKER and the bright white V - ICONIC....thnks SO much for posting ..never ever seen this !

  • your welcome,Thnx for your comment!

  • Come on back now and do it again!! Great concert a few months agao, hurry back cause only you boys can really rock me!!! :) Luv ya. Donna (Tazz6464)

  • best...solo...ever!

  • your so right mate and i mean ever

  • hey Whitty321, my younger brother still has that poster in his house, he's had it since came out !schenker was the main reason he picked up the guitar!( a flying V i might add!)

  • yes Phil not, yes Michael, yes the ufo, thank for evry years

  • EXTRA POSTIF THIS LIVE of my vey legend of hard rock n rool, thank 1000 x very thank Alexvery

    i like, i love phil not the dinosaur voice and Michael Schenker the dinopsaur of rifle of guita

    im sound 4 x, incredible, look my ex live made in chicago:stranger in the night with rock bottom, again thank Axelvery--YEAH music

  • Schenkers work for Rudy's band was pretty cool too. "Lovedrive" is a great riff. Or even "anytime" with Robin McAuley.Pete Way was the Way in Fastway,but left to start Waysted.Small little rock world.

  • Back then there was no one better!

  • You from Twain Harte man? We used to go there party a lot when I was in high school (Sonora). Lived up on Big Hill Road.

  • Does anyone else remenber the huge UFO poster circa 1978/79/80? It only featured Schenker (no other band member) in the iconic "Schenker pose". I would imagine it would have be photographed at the same time as this promo video.

  • Impressive video. Schenker is a high-class player.

  • only you can rock me,comon baby....je l'écoute depuis 1976 ou 77 le live....MY REMEMBER...ldy and gentleman........HELLO CHICAGO....U.F.O.....

    et la magfie de schenker et moog opèrais,for my the ufo live double lp is before and now the magicien du hard rock pur et dur,thank axel,6h to 10 h 30 in youtube,thank the guys for groyup zik rock of Amerika

  • fantastique!

    merci axeflyerfv

  • jUST RIGHT UP CLASSIC!

  • Majestic!

  • UFO Rules!  Pete Way rocks Thunderbirds!

  • God, look at Phil! This is a promo; imagine lip-synching to what you've recorded. But he's giving it his all, as if it's live. That's something to think about. Phil is turning 60 this year, and he still rocks like this. He deserves a big American salute!!!

  • Thnx 4 your comment & for watching!

  • thank you my friend :)

  • your welcome & thnx 4 watching!

  • Thanks for another great video!!!

    Long Live UFO

  • soooo under-rated

  • All this Schenker talk and no love for Pete Way? C'mon! The man made Sid Vicious look like a member of ABBA and he's still going 30 years on!

  • Schenker has nothing to worry about from Van halen talent wise cause evh can't compose any melody 1/10th as good but halens has made a shipload of money over the years. I wish ms would catch a break and endup comfortable in his ole age. Maybe he should finally hook up with the stones!

  • Ouuuw dude man, the sound... the guitars... the voice... simply the best... this is real music...

  • Agreed. Melodic, thoughtful & powerful!
