Blue Oyster Cult Some Enchanted Evening 1978

Some Enchanted Evening is the second live album released by American hard rock group Blue Oyster Cult. It was recorded on the tour to promote Spectres in 1977/1978.

The first live album was On Your Feet Or On Your Knees which captured the group in 1974 but thanks to the success of the hit single Don’t Fear The Reaper and its album Agents Of Fortune, Blue Oyster Cult were a much better known group several years later.

Originally it was a single album but in 2007, Some Enchanted Evening was reissued with seven extra songs.

UFO The Official Bootleg Box Set 1975 to 1985

The Official Bootleg Box Set is a compilation of seven UFO concerts from 1975 to 1985. It covers both the Michael Schenker and Paul Chapman years.

If Strangers In the Night isn’t enough live UFO for you, then this is a great place to turn.

Early versions of the box set went from 1975 to 1982 but it has been extended.

UFO Strangers In The Night 1978

Strangers In The Night is a live album by UFO recorded on their 1978 US tour to promote the Obsession album. Guitarist Michael Schenker left before recording another album.

Unlike Deep Purple or even Uriah Heep, it’s hard to pick out a classic studio album by UFO that is essential listening.

They are all good but there’s no In Rock, Machine Head or Demons & Wizards. I have the five recorded with Michael Schenker after they moved away from space rock and I think they are all good rather than great.

But UFO nail it with Strangers In The Night.
