I saw these guys in 1980, probably on this tour. They were co-headlining with The Doobie Brothers. I’d never heard of then at the tine, going to see The Brothers, but they quickly became a favorite. Sadly, at the time, Michael Schenker, another favorite had left the band for other options, returning briefly to The Scorpions, from which he’d left to join UFO. He periodically returns to play with them.
Concert of The Week: UFO

Most of the UFO stuff I have has Schencher in it and his guitar playing really was distinctive. UFO has never been a favorite of mine, but they’ve put out some very fine music over the years.
I’ve seen UFO live a number of times, the last only a couple of years ago.
Just the one time for me, Steve. Would like to have seen them with Schenker.
