Fan since 1980 , the concert was recorded in 1978 Oct and some of it in Chicago . The best live hard rock album period. The singer has a great voice.
I played this for 5000 sailors while a radio dj on my aircraft carrier in 1979. This brought years to my eyes for the memory. I went up onto the upper deck to get a cup of coffee and could hear the song blaring throughout. Didn't think anyone was listening. Four days, the Skipper called the station and requested it. In the middle of the Indian Ocean no less. THANK YOU.
cool story!
I appreciate you telling us the story. I love it.
Very nice. What was the carriers name if you dont mind me asking.?
Fantastic! Schenker Guitar God!!
Ulster Hall, Belfast, 1978. A unforgettable night.
The Michael Schenker years were the very best of UFO! I can see your a fan and probably didn't know it! There's a flying V style guitar on the wall!!!
Guitar solo's dont come much better than this
Agreed! Absolutely one of the best guitar solos in rock. And I am a child of 70's rock.
If the do then God selfishly kept the for himself. They don’t come no better here on planet earth anyway. Michael is a genius.
That's the one. Schenker owns it. One of the great hard rock solos, IMHO.
Michael Schenker - his brother is still in Scorpions (rhythm guitarist) as he once was.
**** error **** RHYTHM GUITARIST. Sorry folks - not bassist
I would argue the greatest live guitar solo of all time. Much of that was improvised. I’ve seen Michael Schenker several times. The man was/is amazing!!! He’s the reason I bought my first guitar.
TaSwavo Rudolph Schenker isn’t a bassist, he is one of the greatest rhythms guitarists of all time though
Schenker hated it! Wanted to rerecord and over dub it. Got into a fight with Phil Mogg over it, got punched and left the band.
@@SvenTviking Not true
One of my favorite live albums of all time. Michael Schenker is a guitar God and Phil Mogg is a very decent vocalist and often overlooked.
You are so very right.
Barely gets a mention does Phil.
Absolutely positively hands down 100% the best guitar solo of all time and it's not....even....close!
The great Michael Schenker on lead guitar
Andy Parker, Pete Way and Paul Raymond don't get enough credit.... Nor does Phil....
After all, he did what every one else wanted to do....
He punched that spoiled brat Schenker in the face....
And Schenker ran to his brother....
And Rudy took him back.... And Mikey handily fucked his brother over on the verge of the first major US tour.... What a guy.
Funny how things seemed to work out just fine with the Scorpions while Michael only had modest success with his own outfits . Proof that all the parts need to work together to really be a success.
@@kevinheath716 He was young and highly strung, plus he was drinking way too much. He's in a good place now and playing great. Rudy certainly isn't whiter than white, Michael has said he basically copied his him, melodies, even how to play guitar. He's also said that Rudy tends to try and follow trends rather than his own path.
@@ronnienose8608 bs.... these aren't complicated riffs we're referencing... And these same riffs were borrowed from Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Leslie West, Jimi Hendrix, and so on and so forth. Mike is an old bum.... and his brother has never retaliated. He only says that he lives him.
Again... Mike is a crazy old bum.
@@ronnienose8608 may I also point out that the 2nd time Mike left the band he stated that he did not wish to play songs that were nor his own.... So which is it???? He cannot even keep his story straight.
This is the stuff of which guitar heroes are made. I was lucky to see Schenker perform this in a small club when he was getting his career back together a few years ago. Great player.
Phil Mogg just had a career ending heart attack. Much love to one of my favorite bands since 1977. I was 14 in ‘77. Mention Pete Way ffs. I was at the “Lights Out in Chicago!” show. I’ve seen them 8x.
Schenker on steroids! A masterpiece. Though sadly this was the reason he left the band cos he was unhappy with the mix and wanted to overdub it. Sounds pretty awesome to me!
Gibson Flying V Heaven! What a guitarist.
Anything from Strangers in The Night is awesome.
Funny fact about this guitar solo: Michael Schenker, ever the perfectionist, was very unhappy with the solo. He demanded to re-record it in the studio but the producer, Ron Nevison, rightly refused him the chance to do it. The solo was perfect to everyone else but Schenker!
Je did better since. Still this is amazing.
Actually the band wanted Michael to do some overdubs in the studio on the album and he refused to because it would take away from the authenticity of his live performance. That is why he left the band.
@@stevenewcomer8837 Wrong! Michael left because of one person.... Phil Mogg.
@@rainerpawellek1292 Point me to it, because I've never heard it!
4o years later and I still say Holy Shit!!
50 years later. I saw them this past Sunday. Incredible!
Agreed!
Love UFO, seen them in 1976 they opened for Rush,hell of a concer!
I'm glad you dug Rock Bottom. You guys are fun.
It doesn’t get any better than that. That’s just hours of phenomenal musicianship there. You must have thought you died and went to heaven. I bet you cried when the show was over. I probably would have.
Fuck yeah!
Yes, U F O/1977/Winterland, San Francisco, Ca. w/Rush on the Obsession/All The Worlds A Stage Tour. EPIC!!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Michael Schenker is the best guitarist in the world
Michael Schenker is a great guitarist.... but he's not even the best guitarist ever in Scorpions....
That is the one and only Uli Jon Roth.... Sorry to break it to you.
@@kevinheath716 sorry to break it to you but you didn't break anything to me. I know how good a Ulrich Roth is. I have every album that he did with Scorpion's. After he left Scorpion's they sucked real bad. He's a badass guitar player. But I think Michael Schenker is the best guitar player in the world....PERIOD.... so there
@@sammybeck7794 fair enough... but I seriously disagree. 1st, Scorpions were still good. I did like them better before but they were still great. 2nd... I don't think he's better than Roth but we do share a love of Schenker's sound... so there's that. 3rd... Mathias doesn't get enough credit. Hrs not technically on par with the other 2 but he's been the guy they needed and a damned good guitarist in his own right. And he was always reliable.
I guess my problem with Schenker is that he was always more disappointing than any other guitarist and he always blames everyone else.... Even Eddie Van Halen found a way to finish his tours and show up for work.... But they're very similar otherwise.
@@sammybeck7794 Your Wrong P E R I O D....he's Badass none the less
Not even a close second to Criss Oliva.
One of the most underrated band ever!!!!!!!!
Love this album. Micheal Schenker is a grea guitar player and Phil Mogg had a great voice.
he still has
The one and only Michael Schenker .... RIP Paul Raymond you hear on keyboards
Haha, told you, this album is all killer 🤘
All killa and no filla!!
This is more than just a guitar solo. It's a journey through a masterpiece of musical expression. Pure brilliance. Michael set a new bar that night. 🤘
Just do the whole live album, one song at a time. It’s that good
How about some Michael Schenker Group? "On and On" & "Desert Song" Michael does a lot of his old UFO and Scorpions stuff as well as his own creations. His guitar playing is epic!!
A massive shout out for the great Phil Mogg . First saw UFO at the Knebworth Fayre 1985 on the same bill as Alaska, Mountain , Mamas Boys , Blackfoot , Meatloaf , Scorpions and Deep Purple.
In the beginning, I was not impressed. It sounded like a everyday garage band, just repetitious sounds. But then the guitar solo came out of nowhere and the music really started to flow freely. This I like and now I'm impressed. UFO has some chops. :-)
Please, you have to listen to thin lizzy - emerald or still in love with you (live and dangerous)
2 of my favorite Lizzy songs
Yes indeed. Lizzy have so many layers to them , just like UFO. Great mates on the circuit. Mutually admired.
The Rocker is their best
Little Girl in Bloom
UFO Rock Bottom.......... timeless...........masterpiece!.... ( IMO.....The greatest guitar riff ever written).
The whole UFO band were smokin' and Schenker was flying in the lap of the Gods with a most electrifying inspiring solo underlined with unstoppable verve...
As other people have stated, you should also react to songs from Thin Lizzy - Live And Dangerous.
Thin Lizzy - Live And Dangerous is along with UFO - Strangers In The Night, one of the best live rock albums of all time (though some of it was re-recorded in the studio)
UFO Killed it with Schenker in the 70's they put on super shows. Try the M S G 1 album it Is awesome !
Paul Raymond's keyboards and rhythm guitar made a huge impact on their sound. Lights out, Obsession, and Strangers are all killer albums from this overlooked band. 8:48 Schenkers guitar starts to sound like it wants to explode and then when you think its reached the crescendo, he shifts into an even higher gear. His playing is mindblowing on this entire album.
I seen UFO in the late 70's and the whole concert people were yelling Rock Bottom. Especially during the new material of whichever album that was released.
Eddie Van Halen, Ted Nugent, eat your heart out
Hi Rich and Kel, wanted to thank you for doing the UFO reactios . I'm a 57 year old man and I haven't heard that album in God only knows how long . It immediately brought on a flood of excellent memories. I had to listen to the whole album . Thank you so much for this one almost forgotten gem.
I was reading an article the other day which was an interview with Michael Schenker. He was asked about the fight that him and his brother Rudolph are having. He says that anything he did for the good of Scorpions, Rudolph took credit for. He said I saved Scorpions during The Lonesome Crow album and I never got a thank you from Rudolph for that. Then I left to join UFO. I saved UFO. I was never acknowledged for that. Then I saved Scorpions again when Uli Jon Roth left the band. That was the Lovedrive album. He said, I wrote Another Piece Of Meat, Lovedrive and Coast to Coast and Rudolph took credit for those songs. I don't care , he can claim them. He could have least thanked me for them.
😘👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you.
That song gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it.
That tour was my first live concert.
Ah… You did do this version of "Rock Bottom”. This is probably one of the best guitar solos ever recorded, especially this version. Michael ad libs a lot of the parts to this solo and rarely plays it the same way twice and of all of the versions I have ever heard him record of this song, this one is still his masterpiece as far as I’m concerned.
This is one of the few guitar solos that runs on for minutes that I could never get bored listening too. Often times guitarists run out of tricks rarely quickly and begin repeating the same thing, but every phrase Michael plays in this solos is unique and have its own feeling.
I think this is the most expressive solo have ever hear, not just some guy trying to show how fast he can play sets of triplets (think the eternal solos in Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The same triplets over and over for like 6 minutes).
Michael can play as fast as any other guitarist, but he prefers to go for mood by expressing what he is feeling at the time and he was really on point the night this was recorded. The communication of feeling is what true art is all about. If the artist does not transfer his feelings to the audience, telling a story, then it is not art.
This solo is pure art. A masterpiece of guitar. I am impressed to see that Kel can appreciate real art. Any woman who can identify real art, whether music, literature or the visual arts, is quite a catch for any man
I am very lucky to also be married to a woman who knows art when she sees, hears or just experiences it. This is important to me since I am an artist and musician, so art is my life.
It’s a bit sad that Kel wasn’t introduced to such art as this. Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and of course the true artistry of Rush, but it is better than never being introduced to such great works of rock. There are many people who do not believe that any rock music is art, but they have clearly never heard work like this solo. Micheal Schenker is a legendary guitarist and rarely gets the credit he deserves. Keep on introducing Kel to these brilliant works of art, so she can add these pieces to her already rounded knowledge of beautiful creations in this world.
I have seen that Kel enjoys Rush, she would really enjoy the song “Mission”, which is on their “Hold Your Fire” LP. The song is a celebration of the masterful works of art in this world, whether through music, literature, architecture and even the cinematic arts.
Dig a bit deeper into the lyrics and it tells the story of the passion that drives the artist to create such works and eventually compares it more of a curse, because it seem that they were born to do a particular thing and are unable to ignore the call and often spend their life trying to achieve bringing it to the people, no matter the cost (basically the “starving artist” curse, which is actually true in more cases than not), at least this is what I get from the verse that says:
“It’s cold comfort, to the ones without it (the talent) to know how they struggled, how they suffered about it”.
I love the following line:
“If their lives were exotic and strange (the non-artist), they would likely have gladly exchanged them for something a little more plain, maybe something a little more sane”.
I hope you get a chance to let Kel react to it. Thanks for doing this version of Rock Bottom. I loved seeing her reaction to Michael’s guitar solo hearing it for the first time.
Agree withe everything you wrote except Rush and I'm Canadian....can't stand the band specially singer.
#musicnerdstuff Michel Shenker joined the scorpions at 14 years old then UFO and then a solo gig
Michael Schenker
It was Mogg that kept the band alive through the years, even after good friend and bass player Pete Way left to form first Waysted and then Fastway (with Motorhead's Fast Eddie Clarke) and other trials and tribulations; so I guess UFO will fold when Phil quits.
I owned waysted's albums,especially a fan of the first guitarist
Sad but true bro.
And the singer for Fastway was Dave King who is the leader of Flogging Molly
Saw Fastway on both tours!🤘🏁
I’ve seen Fastway a few times in the 80s. I don’t think Pete Way ever played with them.
Saw them live they were unfairly underrated one of the best ive ever seen and I saw Zeppelin!!
Darrell, I say this with respect, fuck you man. Ha ha! 🖕😝 🤘
They’re unquestionably in the top 3 live bands I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen many
One of the best solo in the hstory of rock
Paul Raymond's death means that they'll probably call it a day. Great band, that never got the success it deserved. One of the all-time great bands, and Schenker's playing is sublime, and I love Phil's voice. Great t-shirt again Kel. All the best to you both from Cornwall, UK.
Ronnie Nose Neil Carter is back to finish out the tour.
We've since lost Pete Way.
From the same album; the versions of 'Natural Thing' and 'Out In The Street'. Some of the greatest guitar solos and TONE you will *ever* hear...
See?? Much better than the studio version! ;) Thank you for sharing!! Make sure you check out the Paul “Tonka” Chapman era that followed Strangers. No Place To Run, The Wild The Willing and The Innocent, Mechanix, and Making Contact.
Best live album ever. True! Apparently no overdubs on the guitar either
I agree, the best live album ever. Was my 16th birthday gift.
@@nrwlkguy No overdubs, but spliced solos from 2 different nights though. you can find the raw live recordings online.
Apparently the reason why schenker walked.Wasn’t happy with rock bottom solo and Ron nevison wouldn’t let him overdub it.😳wasn’t happy with it????🤷♂️🤯
My goodness! Another classic UFO tune! Love it and thank you for rejuvenating my old carcass. Rock on! I first discovered them via Columbia House Record Club when I was in High School in the late 1970's. It was either 'Lights Out' (I think 'Lights Out') or 'Obsession' that I first bought & heard of theirs and have been hooked since. Much love!
I remember seeing them in the mid-70s when they played at the keel Opera House in St Louis only 3,000 people one of the pas was giving Phil trouble so he threw it off the stage and smashed it
Check out UFO's 'Mechanix' album. The song 'Doing It All For You' still gives me goosebumps after more than 3 decades.
The guitar player is Michael Schenker he was with the Scorpions also is brother still with them Rudy
Ya everybody says it but I was at the old Chicago Stadium for this show. Hands down one of the best live albums to come out of the 70’s.
Everytime i see your axe on your wall i think of UFO and Scorpions...Same guitarist...Michael Shenker...Also Check out The Michael Shenker Band
love all Micheal
Not hating Scott but that's The Michael Schenker Group(MSG)………..rock on brother!
Sandra Porter Yeah...I know...I thought i hit group....Fat fingers while day drinking...Go figure....lol
Nice reactions! I propose both of you to react to 2 beautiful rock ballads. Stratovarius "Dream with me" and Axel Rudi Pell "Night and rain". You will not be dissapointed:)
Ahhh yes.....The Strangers in the Night version. Glad you succumbed to the pressure from your fans and gave this a listen. Rock Bottom! Rock Bottom! Rock Bottom! You're enthusiasm is cool to see.
They say in the rock world it's one of the greatest live album every made
can you do some first iron maiden album,,,KILLERS ,,,iron maiden inocent exile,,,,before bruces time in the band
Killers is Iron Maidens second album. Their debut is self titled Iron Maiden. Both albums are great. I may be in the minority, but I prefer the Paul Di'anno period of Maiden to Bruce
@@davidh902 after in wrote that i realized,,left it thought no one would call me out,,THANKS LMAO
LOL...although if did a first listen for either album it would be great....up the irons
strangers in the night...1978.... this was my first step up to something harder than Kiss and Pink Floyd... I was 11 years old....This riff from Michael Schenker, plus David Gilmour and Randy Rhoads are wholly responsible for me picking up my first guitar in 1981
This is a top 5 live album hat is a must to own!
The guitarist for UFO Michael Schenker is the younger brother of Rudolf Schenker the guitarist for the Scorpions
I have seen this played many times over the years with many different lineups. And the guitar solo might be different. But Moog always sounds the same
Next to Paul Rodgers my favorite rock vocalist.
@@daveguitarnowski4402 Absolutely. Phil Mogg hardly gets a mention on here .
Man..this is one awesome song...the way its sung kinda reminds me of the singer from April wine
I must recommend Misty Mountain Hop by Led Zeppelin, both live and the studio version from Led Zeppelin IV, if you haven't done it yet. Thank you so very much for your videos.
One of the top 3 live rock albums ever recorded . Saw them many times in the 70's and never failed to deliver, just a great band . Sadly Paul Raymond recently passed away
I don't know there Allman Brothers Fillmore East of the great live album I can't pick them I have to pick at least 15 or 20 at least the ones that I have
Tr y Grand Funk Railroad -- Heartbreaker -- 1974(live)
Amazing performance! You MUST listen this!
One of my favorite albums ever!!! still have the record!!!!!!!!!
I have the album also, great album
Yeah, i have this CD and this Live is my best version of this song! very nice choice of reaction video..
Greatest gtr solo EVER! Shenker just kills this!
Saw them in 1979 for Strangers Tour and forty years later just two weeks before we lost Paul Raymond. They were still as good with Phil Mogg, Andy Parker and Paul Raymond killing it! Rock Bottom still brought the house down!
I was at this tour concert when they came to Covenry England.
College buddy's brother was sharing a joint with the drummer during this concert. UFO is one of those bands that sounded better live than in the studio.
Young or old! Everyone should know who Michael Schenker is!
I saw this UFO Line up about a few months prior to this 1978 recording..........in October 1977. It was a 3 Band show at the Houston Music Hall: Max Webster, UFO, and RUSH.
UFO was the 2nd act but was by far the Loudest and "ruled" the evening. Being there prompted me to eventually purchase the "Remastered" Strangers in the Night CD. 1977-78 was a big 2 year run for UFO and this band lineup was in my mind the "Classic" lineup.....or as good as it gets. You all did not waste your time reacting this and I would like to see more reactions from this CD.
Schenker is doing solo albums now. MSG - McCauley Schenker Group has done some great songs with Robin McCauley on vocals. Like "This is my heart" and "Take me back". "Desert Song" is on the Assault Attack album and is just killer.
The whole album is great. Best live album ever. Schenker is so good. I saw them with Vinnie Moore and they were still great.
#UFO Built for Comfort Phenomenon album 1974 🔥🔥
You should react to Steve Vai - Whispering a prayer. That's an amazing performance. Everything Steve vais does is just amazing!
Always look for a live version for rock music these guys are serious musicians and play off adrenalin and crowd reaction
Probably seen ufo about 20 odd times , all way through the years , never made it to the status they deserved amongst British bands , for me one of the best ever ❤
I found my original copy earlier this year. THis is UFO best album alltough some of the studio albums are good too. This is among top 10 live Rock albums ever made on par with Thin Lizzy but slightly lower than Live at Leeds
Simply the finest hard rock band ..... Ever. They have a BUNCH of great songs like this. Schenker was fantastic live live when I saw them for the first time in 78. Paul Chapman was great when I saw them in 80. And Vinnie moore was awesome when I got to see them last February. Point being, UFO is more than just a great guitarist. Phil Mogg, Andy Parker, Pete Way, Paul Raymond and others who have been in the band through the years have formed a lasting legacy of great music! They always kicked ass live! Way less commercial success than they deserved, but they still did it for 50 years. By the way, Phil Mogg is the only member that has been in the band for the duration. His voice is UFO. Listen to MSG do UFO songs.... They suck except for Michael' s guitar. Just saying.
This makes me want to get the vinyl of Strangers in the Night out (rather than listen on an iPod or CD), which I will do. It requires the ritual of black plastic on a spinning platter and the click that promises what is to come. When I got into these albums in the later 70s - Lights Out, Obsession and Strangers in the Night (which is one of the best live albums, ever), I couldn't stop playing them and was blown away by Schenker's playing, which is still preferable to a whole phalanx (or should that be phallus) of widdly-widdly post-Malmsteen shred merchants.
Schenker at 9mins 34.......the set up , the drum fill , and then the killer notes... goosebumps every damn time 👌👌👌
Now that is amazing guitar playing!
You should try Profession of Violence, a slow post Schenker UFO song with Paul Chapman solo at the end, that is just right. Not sure but i think the song is about the Kray twins.
Please check out #TwelveFootNinja - Coming For You and #TwelveFootNinja - One Hand Killing I think you'll like them a lot
A big bs to the revisionistist that heavy metal was Black Sabbath, some Judas Priest then Metallica. BOC and UFO were and are Metal witha buch of other bands like Riot V.
kel is now a true metal head..head banger...go girl
Yet another great British rock band,love this song it has it all great playing great sound & great vocals,great reaction as all ways luv you guys
As great as this guitar solo is, if you want your mind blown, watch King Crimson, Frakctured.
I don't think there's another guitar player who can play it.
Robert Fripp is just beyond ridiculous.
Eddie Trunk rates Strangers in the Night as one of the best live albums ever.
The guitarist's guitarist.
Frank Zappa - Inca Roads (A Token Of His Extreme)
you had to have a little help (you know some weed or maybe some blond lebanese hash). God what memories.
I lived and breathed Michael Schenker as a teenager and still to this day!! Great video!
Into the arena by Michael Schenker Group?
I believe that I've heard that Phil Mogg is finished with UFO and touring but he is not necessarily retiring. It sounded like we could see a solo album or a non-UFO album, so there could be more music from Phil Mogg in the future.
I know I might be a little odd possibly the minority but I've never heard the live version of this song that I preferred over the studio usually it's always the other way around
Pretty hard to top the studio version of this one, that's for sure
@@daveguitarnowski4402 are you kidding.... every single song on this album is better that studio versions.... that's what makes it unique!!
this is a flying-V classic -- I see you have one in the back.
I was at this tour in Coventry UK saw them every time they were in town, just Awesome fuckin love this band takes me back to being 17.........
My all time favorite guitar lead, I love the way it takes you on a 'journey'!!
