Here's a (somewhat) recent version of L2L with Vinnie Moore filling in the Schenk spot on guit. Not bad, and Phil still has the pipes.

UFO [ LOVE TO LOVE ] LIVE/STUDIO VERSION '05. - YouTube

When Schenk-man formed MSG, he really took off and while this thread is about UFO, I don't want to start spewing on about him and may start a MSG thread if their isn't one already.

Strangers in the Night is such a great live album but what's amazing is that Michael Schenker feels it was something of a letdown.

If you want to talk about Schenker that's great as his first two albums were superb. If not then start a thread

"SITN" is my favorite UFO album and in my top ten favorite albums list--
I recall reading a lot of scrutiny in the past about how this album, like so many
other live recordings, actually had a lot of repair/enhancement work in the studio,
with regard to the guitar solos.

I was just researching this topic again, and now some sources (i.e. Wikipedia, etc.)
are saying MS felt his solos on that album could have been better (!), but he was
disappointed when he was refused the opportunity to do so--apparently, according to
these other stories, the microphones that were recording the drums also picked up
some bleed-over of the guitars, so guitar overdubs couldn't be used without conflicting
with the guitar residue captured on the drum tracks.

Others have commented that they've seem him on subsequent tours playing those solos
and matching the solos from SITN note-for-note.

Thanks for that.

He's coming around with the MSG, and UFO is playing soon after at the same venue in St Charles IL. It's a bit far for me, but I might make both.

I feel it should be noted that Pete Way is the 4rd coolest muthafucker ever to strap on a bass.
