I’ve been sharing videos by Pete Pardo from the Sea of Tranquility website. Pete loves hard rock, heavy metal and prog rock and he’s very keen on UFO.
This is a band who should have had much more success in the 1970s than they did. Of course, they have recorded one of the all time classic live albums in the form of Strangers in the Night.
Here is what Pete thinks.

Live In Texas 1979 is a live album of UFO after Michael Schenker was replaced by Paul Chapman recorded on 21st March 1979.
Chapman had previously been the second guitarist in UFO in 1974 to promote the Phenomenon album. He left in early 1975 to form Lone Star (another group I liked and saw live). He filled in for Michael Schenker during an absence in 1977.
Live is a live album by UFO recorded in 1971 before Michael Schenker joined the group. It shows their blues rock origins.
