Any of you UFO fans be able to help me?

I downloaded a live version of “Lights Out” back in the Napster era. It was a smokin’ cut, started off with a crushing crescendo.

It sounded kind of like a live radio recording, like in a radio studio.

Anyone know where I might find that?

First witnessed the Power and Majesty of 5 distinct characters known to all as U F O,in 1977. Winterland Arena,San Francisco,California. Rush headlines,and then…U F O cuts through the ethereal fog left over from the Opus 2112. And at that point,I was forever changed musically speaking. Saw them again on the Obsession tour in 1978. Tahoe Carson Speedway opening for Blue Oyster Cult. Another fantastic gig in which the band lost power just as the opening strains of Love to Love were bleeding out into the evening sky. The show took place outdoors,and I was there with camera in hand. Many pictures later,many great numbers afterward,I followed the group to the Ormsby House Hotel and casino and hung out with the boys. Great band,fantastic music,wonderful memories. Amen

Yep, I like them. Schenker played a mean guitar for UFO. They seemed to be a lot bigger in Europe than the U.S. Glad they are being reissued.

Between these, and the new Lillian Axe releases…looks like my music spending is going to through the roof.

Rene – I don’t have that compilation but I can get it anytime as its at the local shop. I’ll be grabbing all the UFO CD reissues.

Rob – UFO is a great underrated classic band, buy’em all!

Bill – That HEADSTONE compilation goes for big bucks on Ebay for the CD version. The Lp is easier to find. I will be picking up these reissues and hoping the 2 Japanese ones from 2000 drop in price and climb in availability.

Great specialy NO HEAVY PETTING and FORCE IT because they have many bonus songs that never have been release but PHENOMENOM already have two bonus songs that we know about of couse and that you can find on that single or on TIME TO ROCK, BEST OF SINGLE A´S&B´S double cd. Steve, if you dont have this double cd you need to buy it. Its realy great and was released back in 1998 on REPERTOIRE RECORDS.

Interesting stuff… there is a lot of decent bonus material there. Of course, I’m still trying to collect the vinyl issues of the UFO albums (again!) but I can see these getting bought at some point too.

Been a fan since picking up a copy of the double LP collection “Headstone” back in the 80s…
