Since 1969 UFO is one of the world’s leading Hardrock bands with an extraordinary history.
Having started as a Boogie-influenced formation founded by Phil Mogg (vocals), Mick Bolton (guitar), Pete Way (bass) and Andy Parker (drums), they soon turned to psychedelic influenced sounds on their second album “Flying”.
A major stylistic change came in 1973, when Michael Schenker joined the band and UFO then defined their particular hard rock style.
After the departure of Schenker in 1979 Paul Chapman (who already was guitarist for UFO in 1974) joined the band with whom they released the album “No Place To Run” in 1980.
This was produced by none other than the famous Beatles-producer George Martin.
This album marked another chapter in the history of the band. Chapman did not make the mistake of simply imitating Schenker’s style, instead the music became rougher and earthier.
With this line up (Pete Way, Phil Mogg, Andy Parker, Paul Chapman and Neil Carter on guitar and keyboards) UFO appeared on November 29th, 1980 at the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund for a legendary Rockpalast-Concert.
From the first notes of the opener “Chains, Chains” (which at that time was a preview of their forthcoming album “The Wild, The Willing And The Innocent”) you can hear an experienced band celebrating a compact, homogenic, and straight forward performance
Leaving the spacerock-area of the first two albums behind, UFO presented the highlights of their then recent albums “Lights Out” (“Too Hot To Handle”), “Obsession” (“Only You Can Rock Me”, “Cherry”) , the best songs of “No Place To Run” (“Lettin’ Go”, “No Place To Run” and the magnificent Elvis Presley-cover of “Mystery Train”) as well as the breathtaking encore “Rock Bottom” and “Doctor Doctor” which to this date were the biggest hits of UFO so far.
Not only for fans, this concert remains a stunning document of the power and perfection of one of the greatest Hardrockbands that have ever existed.

12か月 agoI cant believe how clear the vocals are for a live show, the instruments also. Amazing!

12か月 agoThey knew how to mike up a gig back in the day, unlike many of the rock gigs I have gone to in recent years where the sound levels are so ridiculously high and unbalanced it all just sounds like ill defined mush.

12か月 agoMogg was UFO! My favorite years were with a 17 year old Michael Shenkar! Michael wrote the music for doctor doctor. Phil wrote the lyrics. That lineup was my favorite!

12か月 agoI can remember first getting turned on to this band back around 1977 when i was 12 my best friend played “Lights Out” for me and i was blown away .instantly loved UFO .think it was the same day my buddy turned me on to Montrose also .Can you imagine being 12 and getting turned on to “Lights Out” and “Space Station # 9” both for the first time in the same day ??? Lmfao Awesome time to be growing up with music like this .the 70s and 80s were just a phenomenal time to be growing up as youngsters in Central Florida

12か月 agoOne of my favorite rock bands of all time. So unappreciated by a lot of rock fans, but most rock musicians give them tons of love. Legends.

11か月 agoWhen I saw them in Dallas on this tour, Paul Chapman was puking his guts up the whole time but still played the show like a trooper.

11か月 agoLove all eras of UFO. Shame I was only 6 when this was recorded! It would be almost a decade later before I got into rock and more importantly UFO.

11か月 agoOne of my favourite bands, saw them live in London in 1991, what a show!

11か月 agoStrange, but true , UFO were my one concession to heavy rock when Prog Rock was the sound track to my life. They were rocking the world years before all those later naff hair bands and Phil Mogg’s powerful voice outshone the best of them in those days. I once saw them at what was then the Guildford Civic Hall. Their skill and energy prove that you don’t need over-the-top theatics to give a scintillating and memorable performance.

11か月 agoThis was a band firing on all cylinders. I saw them at the Marquee club two weeks before where they did four nights in a crowded tiny venue honing their skills with the arrival of Neil Carter . Fabulous night and Tonka Chapman was incredible 🎸🙏
