CD Reviews

Actually most guitarists aren't Michael Schenker !!
Donald Stuart MacGillivray | Vancouver B.C. Canada | 08/29/2002

"After all I'm not Schenker, either are you and neither is Laurence Archer. He is after all...Laurence Archer and as such he gives one great PERFORMANCE on this album. Being a UFO completist, I thought I would finally pick this up, and was I ever pleasantly surprised! Think of all the live UFO sets "UFO Live" ( Mick Bolton) "Strangers in the Night" "Parker's Birthday" "Wolverhampton" "Regenerator" as well as the bonus Covenant live CD, not to mention all the Schenker live sets containing UFO classics! This one has always being overlooked in that it was this lineup of Mogg/Way with Clive Edwards and Laurence Archer that had recorded the not highly regarded High Stakes and Dangerous Men album. As such many have thought that this would be a "lesser" album with this lineup but this is not the case. UFO really stands the test of time based on great material to draw from, and here they perform the classics like a band possessed! Larry Archer is not only true to the original riffs but actually stretches out and makes these tunes his own. The guy shines. The rhythm section of Edwards and Way is large and in your face, Jem Davis handles Paul Raymond's keyboard sections faithfully and capabably and Phil Mogg is amazingly focused and in fine voice. Production on this is loud and clean with a good mix of audience participation in all the expected places. Lotsa goods here, Rock Bottom, Lights Out, Love to Love, Only You Can Rock Me, Too Hot to Handle, Doc Doc and Shoot Shoot, plus more. If you don't own any live UFO, of course you go buy "Strangers", but if you love Strangers and this band, you probably gonna get a good kick out of this. Caught me off guard and right out of left field which is exactly how I like it. Get it while it's in print!"
LIGHTS OUT IN TOKYO :LIVE

"This is going to be a short but helpfull info. review of this CD:

First let me start by letting you know Schenker is not playing in any of these songs,This is a concert recorded June 20/1992 I don't understand why it has the cover from the original album,I bought this CD some years ago and it has a different cover,now Laurence Archer does a better job playing Love to Love,Lights Out and the rest of the Schenker songs than Paul Chapman did,Archer played these versions pretty close to the versions of Strangers in the night,they sounded great, this is the line up:

Phil Moog(vocals)

Pete Way(Bass)

Laurence Archer(Guitar)(Dokken/Whitesnake)

Clive Edwards(Drums)

Jem Davis(Keyboards)

I should also mention there's another recording out of this concert I guess is something new that came out it's call( DVD-AUDIO ENHANCE)and I like a fool ordered right away without really reading about it,thinking I was getting the full concert on DVD, this is what you'll get the soundtrack and the lyrics on the screen and the ufo story which any UFO/MSG fan pretty much knows by now,so I was dissapointed regarding that deal,well, I hope this info. helps anyone in someway or another!

NOTE:DON'T BE FOOLED BY THIS CD FRONT COVER!

"Several times I've decided to sell this to make room, but each time I give it "one last listen" and end up keeping it. It's NOT "Strangers in the Night" which is still the best this band ever did. But the sound is better than my non-remastered copy of Strangers, and the band jam out pretty well (much better than on BBC 1 Live), and Phil Mogg sounds amazingly very much the same. It's kind of...more modern or something, and I've found myself liking the "newer" songs quite a bit."
