UFO Schenker Marquee Part 1

(Audio only) UFO with Michael Schenker, which I recorded live at the Marquee, London, circa 1974 (pix from 'Strangers In The Night' DVD).
Paul Chapman was on second guitar.
I have combined clips from this gig into 3 parts.
The recording captures Schenker's raw talent in his early days with UFO.
I remember he swapped guitars with a Les Paul (which sounded better than the Vee).
Apologies for dodgy sound quality, but the tape is over 30yrs old !!
Enjoy....

@topofthepopsguy Yes, it was a brilliant show :)

Images are taken from the Strangers DVD and not the Strangers Live album - no video footage of that exists afaik :(

@keef1212 The only Previous photos I had seen for this show were located on the LP-Release.Big fan of Storm Thorgeson and Hipgnosis.Really?As I had been told from one source that footage exists for the whole show.Just has not been released,why is anyones guess there.Another,was that the photos seen on the LP release were captured from this very footage.If that were the case,would bet was recorded using on a U-Matic..Never heard the end on that one admittedly.Thoughts?

@topofthepopsguy My thought is that it doesn't exist lol. But if anyone knows better, pls comment !!

Hi Dantes1815,

The second clip is 'Prince Kajuku'.

Can't remember if Schenker played all the solo or whether Paul Chapman played a part.

Too long ago for me to remember !!

(if only they had camcorders in those days...)

Have to agree with iperti13, "Strangers" is a masterpiece. Longer versions enhance every studio version of the songs. Hope you have a decent conventional stereo, often not mentioned on these postings is the fact that compressed MP3 downloads/ home/laptop/computer crap "overseas" made speakers, i-pods that are only marginally sonically superior to 25 year old Walkmans, do nothing to enhance 70's rockn'roll. Much of the great hard rock music of this era was engineered with 12-15"woofers in mind!

Has to be Strangers in the Night there live album...Hands down there best.

Great post! I did see Chapman with his band 'Ghost' at a club in Fl. back round 80's and honestly I was expecting more! He sure is not equal to Schenker. I left a lil dissapointed.
