  • This has got to be one of the best versions of one of their best songs, BRILLIANT !

  • Great song and band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Schenker is one of my all time favs...............but this is so good

  • just because it's not ms doesnt mean its not good THIS IS A CLASSIC FOREVER!

  • have you heard the europe cover version of this song, pretty good i think

  • Thank you... for wonderful memories past.. my oldest brother "molded me" musically.. walking 10 miles to work with him on Texas summer days .. carrying my portable 8 track... those days r gone now... he is gone now.. thank for the beautiful song, n the even better memories.... Tohiyi, for my big brother Larry

  • too much guitar wanking for my liking, Michael Shenker said he never wanted to play that fast because he wouldn't feel the music, Paul and Pete are awesome though, and Phil is out of this world!

  • so good, up there with the best intros ever, if not the best, and this ensemble compete well with the original, so do phil m voice, this is the soundtrack of my early teens,

  • UFO WITHOUT MSG SUCKs DICK!!  FUCKING BUNCH OF OLD FARTS

  • There's a word for this song.....EPIC If you don't like Vinnie Moore, get over yourself.The guy is a great guitarist and wow...this song is done better than ever before!

  • Mimo upływu lat Phil Mogg śpiewa z takim uczuciem że ciarki przechodzą po plecach.

  • I think Vinnie fits into this band perfectly -- and I say that as someone his age who, like him, grew up adoring the incomparable Michael Schenker.

  • WHAT A GREAT FUCKING SONG.

  • and as usual the guitar is up to much and you cant hear the cymbals...

  • My fav UFO song!!

  • @epeagles1981

    Mine too!! :)

  • won't find anything better awesome

  • pamiętam was super nuta

  • Un-fucking-believable! UFO kicks major ass!!!!

  • this is a fucking masterpiece!

  • Superb, man. Thanks for the vid!

  • this song reminds me of high school

  • this is my favorite song of all time!!

  • Your not wrong about the powerballard,its up there in the top 10 of all time for me. Gonna see them nxt March at wolverhampton, will be so cool & relive my old rockin days, truth is they have never left me & never will while these dudes are still perfoming.

    Rock on brothers & sisters see you at the gig if you can make it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is really good. But, wow, Phil Mogg looks like my uncle. That is Jason Bonham playing the drums, right?

  • @atomicpunk48 yes, it is Jason Bonham!

  • @AXEFLYERFV Is this son of John Bonham?

  • @NikolaTrooper92Srb Yes, it is his son!

  • @atomicpunk48  looks like my Uncle. LOL. Funny.

  • Awesome track. Im a 50 year old rocker who grew up listening to these dudes, saw them live in late 70s & blew me away!! Loved them ever since.

    Thanx for the memories AXEFLYERFV, rock on brothers & sisters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

  • @powlie747 you're very welcome & thank you for taking te time to comment !!

  • @powlie747 this is the best powerballad ever made period.

  • @powlie747 YES!! Me Too.....50 Yr Old.....Still got the T Shirt from The Wild The Willing And The Innocent Tour 1981!!

  • Is there doctor, doctor in this same session? I would love to hear it :)

  • Awesome song, still gives me goosebumps!

  • Axleflerfv- afraid I'm addicted to this version now,every bloody day ( at least ). Wouldn't it be great if just once a major radio station played it again at peak time- and just watch the reaction from joe public !!!

  • Axleflerfv- no apology required but thanks anyway mate lol.terrific post hence my repeated viewing.keep up the good work!

  • whatta voice!

  • Axleflyerfv- can't really argue with you mate,ms was the man no doubt bit they were still great in the early 80's.I'd say the same applies to the scorpions before they went soft.regarding this vid- well vinnie's no Micheal or chapman and jasons not in his father's league but they still sound bloody good to me.

  • @groomercab I only meant that part of being at their best with Schenker ,still when Schenker left, I went to see them up to when Atomic T came in , I stop !

    but I saw them during the Chapman's era, & they rocked the place, The No P;ace to run tour was excellent, I somehow thought that you had only knew them from Chapman .

    my apologies ! I saw UFO was 2008, & they still put up a great show,, I love these performances ,is the reason I posted them! Best Regards & thnx for watching!

  • Lights Out lp - my favorite.

  • 4 deaf people from 573 is an extremly impressive statistic :)

  • As an old fart who saw them back in 81 when they were in their heyday and they blew me away.this is just fuckin class.you still got it fellas

  • @groomercab To me they were in their hey day in 1977/78 with Michael Sckenker,!

  • Just saw em at the Avalon. Fantastic!

  • What a great set of pipes!

  • Congratulations on your opus -

  • I just love Phil's voice. So distinct and present. UFO, Thin Lizzy and Uriah Heep never got the recognition they deserved on a massive scale.

  • great song, and a great "new" version

  • @lincoln2ish the best way to fid out is type Michael Schenker wikipedia & just look at my page for his music history from UFO to present!

  • Kick Ass Song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wonderful Video, I used to go see UFO at the Forum, I think it was.

  • I love UFO....like Mogg...and many great guitarlist

  • I love and always have loved U.F.O. One the great British classic rock bands. 10/10!

  • uh, rocks

    

  • OMFG great fuckin hell thats one of the best guitar solos i ever heard in my life and blime i heard a few!!!

  • UFO and Thin Lizzy, two of the most influential and criminally underrated bands of history!!

  • @ryurik28 your right man people now listen to u2 for me its not rock its crap. even free i don t want to see then never i die for real rock ...

  • @ryurik28 you are so right, I would include thunder in there too, keep the faith man!!

  • I've always contended that UFO was one THE most underrated bands of all time!

  • I Love UFO, My favourite song!

    Vinnie Moore is a great guitarist, don't get me wrong, but he's no Michael Schenker .

  • Wow this brings back so many memories, it's sad today's music is so lame and has no heart. Ask a current musician to put out a song longer than 4 minutes and they would look at you like your crazy......no real talent today at all. Where is my time machine, I'm ready.

  • Love this song it reminds me of Denise Frechou

  • fantastic post the most incrediable ever seen em many times

  • Why all the hate for Vinnie? He has to shred as if breathing. Check him out 20 years ago; shredding. Today; still shredding and I love it. His name is Moore not Schenker and I think this version is outstanding. This isn't a tribute band it's UFO! Awesome!

  • @alabaster907 Accurately stated along with kind motivation. That's admirable. ...

  • Whoa! lookie me! I learned a scale on my guitar! Great to see Vinnie shitting scales all over an otherwise awesome song.

  • Really cool video, I wish more 60's & 70's bands would go back into the studio and record like this.

  • Very nice! I must have listened to this song 100's of times but never saw a video for it. Really amazing stuff, thanks for sharing.

  • Excellent Post! You give credit where credit is due!

  • @rbertagopetah13 Thank you much for comment & tuning in!

  • well done ...great song

    

  • Excellent, but without Michael Schenker its just not the same....Not knocking this guy for trying but seriously........even an average joe like myself can tell the difference.

  • MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG!! im so blown away by this video. they did such a good job, esp. considering how much time has passed since they first recorded it! I agree with mistymountainhopful, this song can stand up there with Stairway To Heaven! I love His voice...its outstanding and still sounds as good as 30 years ago!! Thanks for posting this...you made alot of us happy!

  • Everyone was so in love with Stairway to Heaven (don't get me wrong, great song) but for me this one stands toe to toe with anything from that era. i've always absolutely loved this song. Great updated version. Is that Jason Bonham on the drums? And who is the lead guitarist here? It sure isn't Schenker but this guy still does a remarkable job. Thanks for sharing this video. Awesome!

  • This is not just a guy, this is Vinnie Moore... that's all you need to know.

  • Underrated all these years. Love these guys, grew up going to house parties and seeing bands play their music, which made me want to be a musician.

  • MASTERPIECE

  • 3 people listen to rap crap.

  • Only one thing missing .....Sch...............

  • Great song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • seriously Youtube get a " LOVE!!!LOVE!!!LOVE!!!" button, this is way beyond "like" Thanks again AXE , all sorts of beautiful memories awashing my brain in happy juices, UFO foreva

  • thanks for this, the best piece of music ever written in the whole world

  • I wore the grooves off the Strangers in the Night album. What memories. My only question is where is Michael Schenker?!!!

  • This is so sweet!

  • Good lord this is brilliant! Is all of this footage available on DVD/Blu-ray? Thanks for sharing this with us Axeflyerfv!

  • @stratcat944 go to Amazon dot com under UFO dvd ( this is from SHOWTIME ) & they also have a few others, the one that says UFO Stranges in the Night ,is not the concert but they give you the impression it is!!

    so don't get to excited as I did!! LOL!!

    thanx for tuning in!!

    P.S.am gonna repost this video next , at that time my video program was skiping a bit & video quality wasn't that good!!

  • Thanks, I had never seen this version. Love it ! Always makes me feel 17 again. UFO was a big part of my young life. Brings back great memories.

  • @ moocowies - me too!

  • just an opinion...I like this version even better than the SITN

  • *Beautiful Rhythm & Facinating Music, Well Written Lyrics, Thanks So Much For Posting...Unlimited STARS For You In My Favorite.*

  • Recommended as his fav by a musician friend that I never thought could choose merely one song as a fav in any genre! Classically beautiful lyrics and lyrical music. (Worded that way purposely.) Appreciation for this song cannot be expressed fully.

  • I was 17 years old if i heard UFO, from this point i was a fan, ich bought all albums.

  • Damn, Phil still has it.

  • pour ceux qui ont 9 min .... ecoutez, UFO est au top de se qu'ils savent faire! De l'art , c'est sublime, avec des moments de jouissances musicales rares! Fan de radio et des musiques d'aujourd'hui (de la soupe quoi!)s'abstenir! Pour les amoureux des instruments traditionnels et de la recherche de morceaux rock d'anthologie....ne ratez pas ça!

  • such a masterpeice of a song !!! its amzing i LOVE ufo they are the best ! im only a teenager and all the music these days is shit ! you will not find one guitarist who is anything on micheal !!!

  • absolutely excellent taste in classic british rock thank you for posting this it is one of my all time favs and gives me that alive feeling you can only get from a song with significant meaning personally x

  • Best Rock and roll band EVER!

  • I do miss Michael Shanker(i know-spelling), but I think vinnie moore does a great job on this tune. Thanks for posting.

  • UFO, best.

  • All time Fav,,,,,,

  • Incredibly awesome video, except more shots of Jason Bonham are needed!!!!

  • @unlikeanyotherhuman Listen on...this is a pure classic!

  • My favorite band...my favorite song...and yes, at 54, I want this played at my funeral, too.

  • @rocknrollmjb You got it...add "Funeral for a Friend" and Joe Brown's version of "I'll see you in my Dreams" and I'm there too. That was so beautiful....no reason the "Concert for George" shouldn't be shared here anymore for everyone to enjoy!

  • I was about 15 when I first got into UFO. I am 45 now.. Where will the bands of today like 'Take That' be in 30 years???.. broke no doubt... Music will never ever be as good as it was back then. (Bar MUSE)... These guys rock!!!!! Thank you for this video :-)

  • @UKWeddingStore sAME, im 46 and this shit is MAGIC, like a time machine, my sons r into rock but their MAGIC shit is diifferent, but ROCK LIVES and will never die.

  • @Pastulio729 It's a forgotten thing...for the young ones. But as they age, they realize something was special here. I never fail to be impressed when students "get it", you can see their eyes open and gears working! This is a prime example of our era! Vinnie Moore smokes this one!

  • WHOA....man it gives me goose bumps, Good memories and what a classic. Music today is just empty and void of feeling. I miss the good ol days....mahalo nui loa for posting bradah....these guy's rock yeah.

  • This is absolutely AWESOME!!! Thanx for posting!!!

  • Phil's voice still sounding just like it did 30 yrs ago!!!! only a few have been able to keep the voice that had in they're glory day..... GREAT band, song, video, and post!!!!

  • This song brings back so many great memories from back in the day when I would wear this song out listening to it on my 8-track tape player in my first car. Good times.

  • This is really good, but it makes me really appreciate Michael Schenker's gift. 

  • Breathtakingly beautiful!

  • Awesome orchestral arrangment with what is quite possibly, the greatest UFO track ever recorded.

  • When I was growing up i spent countless hours listening to this album. Underrated song from a very underrated band! This is very awesome!!! Thank you.

  • Just an incredible jam! USA loves you!

  • Best part of this video is the opening, where Paul Raymond is looking at that keyboard and thinking 'damn, how does that E minor scale go again? Ooops not like that...' ;-)

    Paul Raymond was one of my musical idols after I saw UFO in '78. Any guy that could pull off the keyboards and the guitar and be cool looking and British - that is who I wanted to be...

  • The Strangers in the Night double LP was the dog's bollocks when it came out. I rem borrowing it from a friend and taping it using an old condenser mic cassette player and stopping anyone walking in the room and ruining the recording !

    How times have changed in music, now you can listen to anything for free with just a few clicks. In some ways somehow the magic has been lost with technological advances.

    Big up for the upload Axefly

  • awsome!!!

  • ufo are one of my fave british bands and so underated along with thunder, this tune takes me back to being 14 and playing it to death in my bedroom. Axeflerfv you are a star for posting this and you should be rewarded heaven for this!!! you have my vote.

    all the best.

    colin.

  • @moocowies Thank you ,I really appreciate your comment & visit!

    Take care!

  • I went to see them play in Holmfirth on Saturday night with my son. First time I saw UFO play live he wasn't even born yet he came out of the gig totally blown away. Phil's voice has obviously changed with time but it gives these classics a different sound and shows that UFO's music can clearly stand the test of time. This track sends shivers down my spine just as much today as when I first heard it 33 years ago.

  • @PolishHippy Holmfirth in Yorkshire ? 

  • U.F.O. = UNDERRATED

  • why is this band not given more support... they are just amazing...rock and roll at its best...30 years ago i seen them for the first time and they are still brill to this day

  • Love his voice!

  • thanks for sharing!

  • great video is my best.

  • Dude you have the coolest videos!!!

    Thanks for taking the time to post these.

  • What more to say? Simply BEAUTIFUL, this is real MUSIC.

  • This song has a great combination of waltz and foxtrot for any dancers out there. The waltz is so subtle that I missed it for a long time. I think this is what is attractive about the song. This one of the finest songs I have ever heard.

  • Beautifulllllll...............­...

  • and Phil has aged well, no ?..thank god someone did out of our Rock universe.

  • Where is THE LEGEND Schenker? Damn Bonham rocks!

  • Sorry brain-fart....the point is that Phil was awesome here!

  • As you can see, you can replace drummers and even guitarists. This is a great version of such an epic song. Sure, I wish it was with Schenker but this is really fantastic!

  • What an amazing video and song!!!Now this is talent!!!!

  • Such amazing tone at his age, absolutely wonderful.

  • we tried so hard to make this our prom song 25 years ago. gets alittle hard core towards the end though. the girls wouldnt have it. oh well. its still one of the best songs ever

  • Priceless, great job posting it AXEFLYERFV! Thank you!

  • @Renesyseanu  you're welcome man!!

  • goosebumps...and paul looks exactly the same as when I saw him with Chicken Shack 40 yrs ago :)

  • what can I add to this magic!

    I have always loved this....esp on UFO's Strangers.....

    Paul Raymond is one of my favourite singer, song writers, musicians and with Savoy Brown....ahhhhhh!!

    Vinnie you are magic on this also!

    Phil thank you for sharing this rendition plus what a great orchestra friend :--)

  • @ivebeenthere1 Isn't it Phil Mogg in the video?

  • @brakedrummer you are most welcome man,I thank you for your kind comment & I hope you get your wish but also wish you long life at 54 you still got more miles to go my friend!!

    take care & thanx again for tuning in!!

  • @brakedrummer You're very welcome,I apologize for the late reply,I somehow missed your kind comment!

    Thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • One of my favourites by UFO. Vinnie Moore does a commendable job on this song and Mogg's vocals are spot on. Moore is no Schenker, but then again, he's not supposed to be. He's an amazing guitarist in his own right. Schenker's solo at the end on the original from "Lights Out" is one of my all-time favourite solos. This song reminds me of a long lost love of mine. It was "our song".

  • Awesome!!! Underrated band. Excellent musicians. So glad I found this!!!!

  • Mogg is still oneof my personal favs...this takes me back to a special time in my life & loves..misty green & blue is right.

  • thanks for this it brings back seeing them do it live ms was awesome

  • fine wine my brothers saw them in 74 boston but they age great even without mike thanks for the post

  • Just about the best video I've looked at for well over a year... awesome seeing and hearing what were a formative band for me in the '80's - top marks to AXEFLYERFV for finding this and bothering to post it...

  • @PaulWilliamsImaging thank you for watching & your kind comment!

    I appreciated!
