If you want to know what live rock recordings are all about then this is THE album to listen to. It plays pretty much like a greatest hits album that includes almost everything worth listening to by UFO, but live. The band is at their peak, and especially Schenker is absolutely on fire here.

STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT captures UFO at their peak and contains a very well chosen track listing with absolutely no filler or mediocre material. There are so many great songs on this album that I feel a little guilty overlooking any one of them. One of the obvious highlights is Michael's tour-de-force guitar solo during "Rock Bottom" which is almost a master class in his guitar style. Remarkably, he's stated some interviews he was unhappy with the version they picked for this album! Another personal favorite is "Let It Roll" which is possibly my favorite Schenker solo ever. But it's really an incredible set with some of the finest UFO classics you could want. "Doctor Doctor", "Only You Can Rock Me", "Lights Out", "Love To Love", "Too Hot To Handle" and so many more. The 1999 reissue added several more cuts and re-sequenced the entire album to be more like their actual set list during that tour. UFO made some brilliant studio records during this era too (namely FORCE IT and LIGHTS OUT), but STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT is definitely the best starting point for anyone just starting to dig into their catalog. It's also one of my favorite live records ever for a hard rock band.

This was my first exposure to UFO, and the live energy captured on this album can make some of their studio tracks sound disappointing in comparison.

Great live!! But the chosen songs are not all correct!! Where are masterpieces like "On with the action" and "Too much of nothing"???
