While hardly a great band, UFO was certainly one of the hardest working, most dependable bands to emerge in the mid-1970's. Mixing Deep Purple-ish blues-inflected heavy metal with a certain European sensibility - album-tour/album-tour, without end, they featured the extremely gifted young German guitar player Michael Schenker, whose brother Rudolph, is a member of Scorpions. In the video that follows, for their song "Lights Out (in London)", that is Schenker on the flying-V solo. Schenker left for a while to form his own band, but rejoined with his former bandmates in the 1990's, and UFO continues to record and tour. This video is from the late-1970's.
