4 out of 5 stars Keeps growing on me.......2002-09-23

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.

5 out of 5 stars Actually most guitarists aren't Michael Schenker !!.......2002-08-29

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!

2 out of 5 stars The Guitar Guy Is Okay, But He's No Michael Schenker.......2001-03-23

Okay, short and sweet: This album is no "Strangers In The Night" (an excellent UFO live album). Part of the problem is the album's guitar sound -- or should I say, lack of it. With the "Strangers..." album, Michael Schenker and Paul Raymond accented one another. For example, when MS was soloing, PR would typically add a harmonious keyboard or rhythmic guitar sound that seemed to give the music a certain true concert hall fullness. With "Lights Out In Tokyo", it's just not there -- especially when listening to such UFO standards as "Rock Bottom" or "Love To Love." Phil Moog's voice still sounds good, but the lead guitar playing, in general, is nothing special. Sometimes it sounds like this guy (who, by the way, is not MS) is trying to hard, other times it as if he's not trying hard enough. Maybe that's how it is when you know you are playing tunes that some other guitarist made famous (which could explain why "Rock Bottom" is shorter on this album than on "Strangers...").

If you never got to see UFO in the days of MS, pick up "Strangers In The Night"; it's by far a better album. If your just curious about the sound of UFO lately, then maybe you'll be happy with this CD. Remember, you can always sell it on EBay once you grow tired of it -- which shouldn't take long.
