UFO
Showtime
The Story
Matthias Mineur writes in the liner notes about UFO's double live disc "Showtime", "The line-up that worked on this CD in the summer of 2005 is the strongest the band has seen in a long time and has their critics' and colleagues' mouths watering: Phil Mogg (vocals), Pete Way (bass), Paul Raymond (keyboards), Vinnie Moore (guitar) and Jason Bonham (drums) - a team that stands for enthusiasm, compositional talent (as their current studio release "You Are Here" goes to prove) and technical accomplishment. Vinne Moore is a guitar hero in the classic sense. His intricate style, a successful mix of rock, progressive elements, blues and fusion, has impressed audiences since 1987 with his solo debut "Mind's Eye". Interestingly, it's been 27 years since the double live "Strangers In The Night" took the rock world by storm. So here we are again in 2005, Mogg, Way, Raymond, Moore and Bonham, a live CD featuring all the great tracks from "Strangers In The Night" plus the creme de la creme from the new "You Are Here" CD. who could ask for more... "Showtime", UFO rocks!"
