Iron Maiden gives this song a boost by playing it before they go on stage. There is a video from last summer from a show in Greece, and while the audience eagerly awaited Maiden, this song started playing. The audience was singing along enthusiastically. UFO are like a fine wine or cult film--they get more appreciated with age. ua-cam.com/video/H4Jeczyj4ZI/v-deo.html
@Astro Telomeres I am of the opinion that they were ahead of the 'British Invasion' by a few years so didn't get as much notice. Same with Thin Lizzy as someone mentioned above. Just one theory. Another theory, and possibly intertwined with the 'British Invasion', is AOR radio stations were more corporate and influential; some good bands probably didn't 'pay to play' like other bands did, or as much as other bands did. So, they got a bit of airplay, but not as much as others who probably paid more.
Saw UFO when they were promoting this album at Blackburn king George’s hall ,I think it was about 1980 . Chapman had just taken over from shenker on lead ..fuck me im old
This song always reminds me of my good friend Paul valance who loved this ufo track. He was killed in a hit and run at the age of 17, although it’s now over 40 years ago I still think of him and hearing this makes me feel happy inside.🙂
@@สําเนียงจุลเหลา Worked at Southwest Research Institute from 1975-1980, up on a hill, off of Culebra. Best job and best time in my 71 1/2 years on this rock. Gotta go back to S.A. some day……
Schenker is top ten of all time….he wrote the book on metal lead…. Go look for Kirk Hammett fanboying over him. The man inspired so many people to play …
Tonks Chapman R. I. P. What a gentleman, myself and good mate John met him and his American wife backstage at a Steve Marriot gig in Cardiff in the 80s. Fast forward a month or two we were at St David's hall in Cardiff to see Gary Moore, took our seat's and who should be sat next to us only Tonka and his wife. We had a good catch up and went our separate ways. About a year later we were strolling through Cardiff station when we heard someone shouting our names turned around and it's Tonka running up to greet us, we had a brief catch up and Tonka went off to collect his wife who had just returned from San Francisco. I know Tonka moved to the States later on and ended up in a band called Gator Country with ex members of Molly Hatchet which I believe he was with until his untimely death. What an awesome guy and guitarist, if you haven't already check out his first major band Lonestar.
Love UFO! One of the greatest hard rock bands ever. Phil was always a great singer and frontman. Strangers in the Night is still incredible every time I play it. It is the standard for live recordings still to this day! Saw them live in 1979 in Springfield, Missouri and have been a fan ever since.
I saw this footage on Facebook and was bowled over and then bought Strangers in the Night on Vynal. I saw them at Reading 1981 and a few times since. So☮️☮️🎸🎸🏴🏴🏴🏴🇺🇲🇺🇲⚽⚽
Never saw them unfortunately. They were supposed to play a Coffee Break Concert sponsored by WMMS as the Cleveland Agora in the early 80s. I don't recall why it was cancelled.
Superb band who I saw at B'ham Odeon in either 1980 or '81. Still have the programme. Favourite song? Lights Out. Tickets were £3.00. I want to go back in time & see all of those great rock / metal bands again.
Saw msg at Sheffield poly around 81 tickets £1 still got ticket. Graham bonnet singing and it was the night he was kicked out of the band for getting his dick out.
@@garyfaulkner1480 Good evening sir. No, my 1st name is spelt Graeme like the Scottish do. But I did live very close to Walsall in Aldridge & then in Streetly. Also Halesowen, Hayley Green, Tamworth, Fazeley & Polesworth. That's just the midlands!!!
What a band, what a track, what a performance. Epic classic rock at it's best. Still on the tracklist of my life. A blast from the past & still as fresh as the 1st listen. Great band.
Saw these guys quite a few times in the early 80s and always blew me away with just how many good tracks they had. Bloody love them and right up there with Maiden and AC/DC in my pantheon of great rock bands. Good work boys ✌️
They're one of the reasons Steve Harris formed Iron Maiden. He was a huge fan of them and Pete Way was one of his main influences. They still play "Doctor Doctor" at each concert, right before they enter the stage.
This is an amazing piece of rock history captured on film, and I know 4 out of 5 is generous, but it still hurts me to watch UFO perform without Michael.
100% ... UFO never seemed the same to me after he left. Strangers in the Night was just the bollocks. Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous along with it. Two albums that captured the joy and soulfulness that metal can bring. Those were the days ! 💜
Concur with all the positive sentiments expressed thus far. Would just like to thank the Music Gods for inspiring the BBC to create the Old Grey Whistle Test. The viewing public in the UK were privileged to see some astonishingly talented and diverse performers from so many genres. As a 13 year old, my musical education went into overdrive thanks to this programme. OGWT Rocked!!!
What a flipping really great rocking band UFO was, I only got to see then 2 times but they won me over, great singing, great players and great songs, they had it all and much more

So many great tracks from UFO. I sometimes think if it wasn't for Zeppelin being around UFO would have been much more widely recognised for the truly great band they were.
This brings back memories. Cars parked in the parking lot, trunks open, stereos blasting, cold beer, cheap brown weed, hot chicks.. Tossing a football.. Ah yes, it was good growing up in the late 70's early 80's. Wouldn't trade it for anything. I feel bad for kids today...

@tjwright-df2cu not a fan of the Jools Holland show. It's not aimed at a guy like me who is 67, and I find it all a bit safe and incredibly fawning. OGWT wasn't. Just great bands playing live in a studio and at the top of their powers. Just live music heaven.
@@keithf_ Yeah, I know, I remember it (live). But, whilst they may not be the same, Jools show is the closest thing to it on TV. Music for Musicians & Muso's - besides, today's music scene isn't what it was, is it?
@tjwright-df2cu I feel really sorry for today's youngsters. Absolutely no edgy rebellious musicians to worship really. And rock n roll is pretty much dead
This brings back so many memories. I saw this lineup loads of times in 80/81/82. They were fantastic right up to the final gigs with Vinnie on lead. Stand our tracks for me are all schemer era …Love to Love, Lights Out, Shoot Shoot, Doctor Doctor.
Lights Out..awesome..first time i heard them i was hooked..Mogg's vocals..so unique..this bad deserved so much more credit..thx for the video down memory lande..
August 15th, 1995. Seattle, Wa. The Ballard firehouse venue I attended this show. Michael Schenker was there. I stood right in front of him when they did Lights out and Rock bottom. He did all the solos note for note like he did on the Stranger's album. I never looked him in the eye and he didn't look at me either. I am a guitar player. So I was watching how he played both of those songs. That dude rocks.
@@michaelzukowski5541 they were co-headlining with each other, i thought phil might have been considered to replace bon in acdc. but ufo was already a brand on their own.
love them - some bands never get the love they deserve - Magum and the Angels (Australian band) and 2 other wonderful bands that never got their due...
The live recording of Doctor Doctor is my favourite live recording of anything - including Frampton. Nothing like it happening here on on OGWT of course, but the crowd roar when the main riff comes in on that other version.... It gets me every time. ow!!
I drove the tour bus with UFO from france through Italy and then with the ferry from Brindisi to Patras onto Athens unfortnately moggi threw a wobblerat the gigt and threw the speakers into the crowd and the rest was as they history .. bloody great band and bloody great guys ..the road manager was a prat ...off his head on coke I drove from Athens back to the uk with the roadies who thought the were rock stars
Love road stories. The guy who owned the bus Willie Nelson used for years in the 70s and 80s lived in my town. He passed but the old bus is still sitting there sadly rotting away.
I drove the short bus for Pee Wee Herman on his fifth American Tour , got so ripped on the bus one day or night can’t recall what it was, but Pee Wee . . . . . Well uh never mind. . . . . Out
Come on man you wound us up ,can't we have a lil more? Isn't he accused of either gay or slightly pedo inclined stuff? I have heard he was a bit of an aresehole!
I saw them in 1978, with RUSH & Max Webster. I always thought they were underrated! Max Webster was a good opening act, followed by UFO, then RUSH! definitely one of my top 5 concerts ever!!! I saw Bowie twice, Zeppelin once, RUSH 5 other times, Joe Walsh twice, so I have seen a lot of shows.
I went to watch these live in 1985 I think, it was UFO featuring Phil Mogg. It was a tough crowd because they were playing all the new stuff, they played this at the end and brought the house down.
I saw them at Kiel Auditorium, STL MO, when I was about 10 years old. I was so short I had to stand on my seat to see over the standing adults. Still, the show rocked!
I am speechless... Blown away I never knew how good these guys could play Could you stack one more keyboard atop the last one could you play another song like this but in a different way UFO can't you see UeFock you're doing to me you were rocking so hard you tore my body apart double kick, bell sound ride more volume, more lights A minor to your E when you need sonic frights We've played it before We'll play it again a thousand more times before the end sorry. I guess that's me expressing my appreciation. I'd never really heard much from them but I regret not seeing them in their heyday. Would easily open up for the Scorpions. Or have they?
They opened for Rush the only time I saw them. Max Webster the most eye opening act on the bill. But Schenker was there, good times. Rush, great as usual, 70's.
@Fat Albert like most of the 60-70 year olds today, we'd get our $7, go to the show, stand right up front every time if we wanted. Thought it could never end, of course. But todays concerts are pretty messed up with the $$$, the tracks. They need a disclaimer.
*U* -nidetified *F* -lying *O* -bject *Exactly ... this particular theirs song was ending the live on stage small concert of our young amateur rock band, in the communist Poland, in JUNE 1978 !! I was a main singer and also was playing my drums at the same moment. Based of the original version of this song, my fellow musicians they did all the best to go follow up, according to the quality of our musical instruments & stage audio equipment available at that time in Poland.* *So many decades had past away, but this particular song is still pumping the blood faster in the veins of my bloodstream, when I can hear it !!*
The most underrated Rock group ever. They were emulated by literally everyone that followed. One of the millions of selections in my library that gets played regularly.
76 BiCent. T-Bird, love it! This song woke me up many times during a dark period(alarm was a 115VAC timer on a stereo hooked up to part of a band PA that lived at my home back then). At 6AM....get blasted out of bed with this song.
I think we all know. They were and what all other band's aspire to be. They are the legacy of rock history. I am just glad i saw them so many times through all the lineups and changes. They NEVER changed.
I was lucky to experience UFO live twice in my life. First at Stanford University's Maples Pavilion (where the basketball team would play) on 29 OCT 1978. I was 15 years old and knew nothing about them. I went because my brother, who was 18 at the time, convinced me to go. Everyone in the band was animated and Phil Mogg was running around and jumping off the drum riser constantly. But there was one band member standing at one end of the stage not moving at all except for his hands. I asked my brother, "Who is that guy over at the end of the stage playing the guitar?" He told me, "That's Michael Schenker, the lead guitarist." I was amazed. The second time was at The Edge nightclub in Mountain View CA I believe on 8 AUG 1995. A friend I went with told me to bring one of my UFO albums. I didn't know what he had planned until he went backstage later with my copy of "Force It" for the bandmembers to sign. Unfortunately, I did not get to meet them personally but I had a great time none the less. I also got to see Michael Schenker at the Heritage Theatre in Campbell CA on 13 Feb 2014. He was awesome as ever! Now that I think about it, it's the last live performance I've seen of any band to date.

Strangers in the night, best live album ever!
Yep
Brilliant live, saw them on rock night at the Huntsman pub in Staffordshire, be about 77, great night.
Great band Too bad about Phil being sick RIP Pete Way
3:16
I met these guys waaaaay back at a dive bar in Columbia, Illinois....... Can't remember much more about that night!
saw them with bon scott and acdc in toronto at massey hall, one of the best concerts of my life.
Saw same lineup but in Allentown Pennsylvania was great show
@@michaelzukowski5541 they were co-headlining with each other, i thought phil might have been considered to replace bon in acdc. but ufo was already a brand on their own.
Seen UFO at Oakland's "Day on the Green" back in 1976. They were the opening act and they blew me away. I mean they rocked the place.
love them - some bands never get the love they deserve - Magum and the Angels (Australian band) and 2 other wonderful bands that never got their due...
God, this brings back so many memories of when I was a rock DJ at a local Pub on Monday Rock Nights.
So good! Great to see a band actually playing live and not lip syncing 🤘
The live recording of Doctor Doctor is my favourite live recording of anything - including Frampton. Nothing like it happening here on on OGWT of course, but the crowd roar when the main riff comes in on that other version.... It gets me every time. ow!!
I drove the tour bus with UFO from france through Italy and then with the ferry from Brindisi to Patras onto Athens unfortnately moggi threw a wobblerat the gigt and threw the speakers into the crowd and the rest was as they history .. bloody great band and bloody great guys ..the road manager was a prat ...off his head on coke I drove from Athens back to the uk with the roadies who thought the were rock stars
Love road stories. The guy who owned the bus Willie Nelson used for years in the 70s and 80s lived in my town. He passed but the old bus is still sitting there sadly rotting away.
I drove the short bus for Pee Wee Herman on his fifth American Tour , got so ripped on the bus one day or night can’t recall what it was, but Pee Wee . . . . . Well uh never mind. . . . . Out
Come on...you can't leave it at that! Any other little nuggets??
Come on man you wound us up ,can't we have a lil more? Isn't he accused of either gay or slightly pedo inclined stuff? I have heard he was a bit of an aresehole!
Great comment! Thanks for that!
I saw them in 1978, with RUSH & Max Webster. I always thought they were underrated! Max Webster was a good opening act, followed by UFO, then RUSH! definitely one of my top 5 concerts ever!!! I saw Bowie twice, Zeppelin once, RUSH 5 other times, Joe Walsh twice, so I have seen a lot of shows.
Strangers in the Night. One of the best live albums
how the hell did I get this far through life without hearing this. Missed it by 40 years. Thank you algorithm.😋
Did somebody finally lift the rock you were under? At least now you see the light.
Hey, I remember that lady on the keyboards at the beginning. That's Janet from three's company, that sitcom with Jack Ritter
Great upload and great band!
I went to watch these live in 1985 I think, it was UFO featuring Phil Mogg. It was a tough crowd because they were playing all the new stuff, they played this at the end and brought the house down.
One of the very best rock songs ever.
I saw them at Kiel Auditorium, STL MO, when I was about 10 years old. I was so short I had to stand on my seat to see over the standing adults. Still, the show rocked!
I am speechless...
Blown away
I never knew how good these guys could play
Could you stack one more keyboard
atop the last one
could you play another song like this
but in a different way
UFO can't you see
UeFock you're doing to me
you were rocking so hard
you tore my body apart
double kick, bell sound ride
more volume, more lights
A minor to your E
when you need sonic frights
We've played it before
We'll play it again
a thousand more times
before the end
sorry. I guess that's me expressing my appreciation. I'd never really heard much from them but I regret not seeing them in their heyday. Would easily open up for the Scorpions. Or have they?
I thought that this was the other Scorpions with the better Schenker?
What nostalgia for those times when very interesting bands appeared and cool music sounded 🎶!!❤️🔥🔥🎸
Loved these fellas from when I first heard them in 1975.
They opened for Rush the only time I saw them. Max Webster the most eye opening act on the bill. But Schenker was there, good times. Rush, great as usual, 70's.
@Fat Albert like most of the 60-70 year olds today, we'd get our $7, go to the show, stand right up front every time if we wanted. Thought it could never end, of course. But todays concerts are pretty messed up with the $$$, the tracks. They need a disclaimer.
I saw them open for RUSH...sad, RUSH had changed...Farewell to Kings...and farewell to improvised rock...oh well. UFO so totally SMOKED THEM!

*Exactly ... this particular theirs song was ending the live on stage small concert of our young amateur rock band, in the communist Poland, in JUNE 1978 !! I was a main singer and also was playing my drums at the same moment. Based of the original version of this song, my fellow musicians they did all the best to go follow up, according to the quality of our musical instruments & stage audio equipment available at that time in Poland.*
*So many decades had past away, but this particular song is still pumping the blood faster in the veins of my bloodstream, when I can hear it !!*
i actually remember this song! damn i'm old.
The most underrated Rock group ever. They were emulated by literally everyone that followed. One of the millions of selections in my library that gets played regularly.
Oddly enough when I hear this song I think of Iron Maiden…they always play this at their live shows…
My brother had this UFO album in early 70s with chrome bathtub or shower parts on it, GREAT ALBUM...!!!
great clip! I saw them in Toronto in 1979(?) and they were great. A little band called AC/DC opened the show, and the rest is history.
Esta es una de las mejores bandas de la Historia y una de las más grandes en Concierto, muy energética, son casi insuperables
Estanduroscoño
76 BiCent. T-Bird, love it!
This song woke me up many times during a dark period(alarm was a 115VAC timer on a stereo hooked up to part of a band PA that lived at my home back then). At 6AM....get blasted out of bed with this song.
when michael schenker joined they went over the top
I think we all know. They were and what all other band's aspire to be. They are the legacy of rock history. I am just glad i saw them so many times through all the lineups and changes. They NEVER changed.
지구에 명곡중에 한곡 ..엣날 조상님께서 들으셨다면... 신이 강림하셨네...2차 세계 대전 후 가장 폭발적인 에너지 사운드와 우주 강림 사운드
че ты сказал??
A real pity this didn’t make it onto one of the OGWT DVDs.
Now any time you hear this song you KNOW that Iron Maiden is about to blow your mind and rock your world!
I hope you aren't trying to compare those hacks in maiden against schenker. I'll take 1 schenker over a dozen of those wannabees.
@@lsutton4193First prize for most stupid comment 👍🏻👌🏻👊🏻
@@willemsikkema3604 The dude obviously has no idea what I was referring to and that just makes his comment that much more hilarious.
Yep the drums and the amps being uncovered and the crowd bouncing!
@@sublucky74 I've only seen Maiden live twice but if your pulse doesn't rise when Doctor Doctor starts playing- you don't have a pulse!!
I had forgotten about UFO until now. Awesome, I will be expecting more.
Wow, this is amazing, thanks for the post.
I was lucky to experience UFO live twice in my life. First at Stanford University's Maples Pavilion (where the basketball team would play) on 29 OCT 1978. I was 15 years old and knew nothing about them. I went because my brother, who was 18 at the time, convinced me to go. Everyone in the band was animated and Phil Mogg was running around and jumping off the drum riser constantly. But there was one band member standing at one end of the stage not moving at all except for his hands. I asked my brother, "Who is that guy over at the end of the stage playing the guitar?" He told me, "That's Michael Schenker, the lead guitarist." I was amazed. The second time was at The Edge nightclub in Mountain View CA I believe on 8 AUG 1995. A friend I went with told me to bring one of my UFO albums. I didn't know what he had planned until he went backstage later with my copy of "Force It" for the bandmembers to sign. Unfortunately, I did not get to meet them personally but I had a great time none the less. I also got to see Michael Schenker at the Heritage Theatre in Campbell CA on 13 Feb 2014. He was awesome as ever! Now that I think about it, it's the last live performance I've seen of any band to date.
This is the first thing I've played on my Chromecast. A worthy choice I'm sure you'll agree.
John Clarke same for me dude. Love this band and song.
