Strangers In The Night
The Story
The predominance of live albums in the 1970s was a response to consumer demand for more explorative treatments of the hits being generated by AOR radio. Hard rock icons UFO utilized the trend to great effect with 1979's "Strangers In The Night", a double album of hits and fan favorites that showcased the impromptu greatness of Michael Schenker's rock ensemble. Recorded over the course of two U.S. concert dates, the set list finds UFO delving into a career's worth of classics, including the key tracks "Rock Bottom" (over 11 minuutes) and "Doctor Doctor". While it proved to be Schenker's swansong with the band, the album encapsulated an ambitious worldwide tour and cemented UFO's status as one of the era's most exciting - and loudest - bands. Also features the bonus tracks "Cherry" and "Hot 'N' Ready".
