- Awesome!

Are you nuts! Vinnie Moore is awesome on this CD (DVD). Some of the best live playing ever! You can't replace Michael Schenker but Vinnie Moore does a great job. Jason Bonham is solid and the band is tight! Video and sound on the DVD is very well done. If your a UFO fan this is a must! Again, you'll never replace a Michael Schenker in UFO, but this is as good as it get's without him!

- Superb!

I've been a UFO fan since the 70s, and this DVD is just a fantastic representation of the band's music.

Disc 1: Live in a medium sized venue, great lighting, video, and audio quality. The 5.1 digital audio is exceptional. I have noticed that some concert videos in 5.1 do not do justice to the concert sound, but this one has a premium mix. Performances by all band members are flawless, with the non-original members, Bonham and Moore, covering the original parts perfectly while adding their own unique touches. Mogg, Way, and Raymond are, as usual, in perfect form.

Disc 2: Live in the studio. Just what you would hope for with this sort of setting. All players in casual studio setting with a super clear video and exceptional audio quality. Small string section sits in on a couple of the cuts, very cool...

If you like UFO, you will love this DVD. Highly Recommended!

- The phenomenon continues...

I tend to agree with the previous reviewer, that it would be nice to see/hear some Chapman-era stuff performed instead of the same ole SITN set list. The DVD at 200 minutes is great value. The in-studio set is SUPERB, hearing some ole chestnuts, like Pack It Up and Go and Try Me and of course some additional banter from the boys, although Vinnie seems unprepared. I actually think Vinnie is a good sub for Schenker. The live set is decent but there's too many close-ups and too many cut-away shots, so you feel a bit dizzy by the end (or maybe it was just the cough medicine?), so that's why only 4/5 stars. And no Natural Thing? Unforgivable!

- ufo showtime

i saw ufo back in the late 70's with michael schenker on lead guitar. lucky me. to me they were and still are the definition of sweet hard rock n roll. this dvd features vinnie moore on lead guitar and jason bonham on drums. original members phil mogg,pete way and paul raymond are as tight as ever. the 2nd disc of live studio recordings is awesome. the interviews are cool too. if you like ufo,you'll love this. rock on/bush hog

- UFO still rocks!

UFO IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK BANDS OF ALL TIME AND THIS

DVD PROVES THEY ARE STILL A FORCE. THE LASTEST ALBUM YOU ARE

HERE IS A KILLER AND THE BEST ROCK ALBUM OF LAST YEAR! THIS

DVD IS FROM THAT TOUR AND IS JUST AWESOME. THE SONGS CONSIST

OF CLASSICS AND VERY WELL DONE WITH VINNIE MOORE AND JASON

BONHAM PLAYING WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE ORIGINAL BAND. I THINK

NO PLACE TO RUN OR A SONG FROM THE 80'S WOULD'VE BEEN NICE BUT

NO COMPLAINTS. DISC TWO IS AWESOME WITH THE BAND PLAYING LIVE

IN THE STUDIO. SONGS LIKE PACK IT UP AND GO, TRY ME AND THE

GREAT PROFESSION OF VIOLENCE IS WORTH IT ALONE. SO IF YOU LIKE

UFO IN THE PAST OR NEVER HEARD THEM I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!
