Ufo - High Stakes And Dangerous Men / Lights Out In Tokyo

dig - Re-release of UFO’s 13th studio album, 1992’s ‘High Stakes & Dangerous Men’, their first record in ten years to feature bassist and founder member Pete Way. Fronted by Phil Mogg, the only band member to feature in every line-up of UFO’s 50 plus year career, the line-up was completed by guitarist Laurence Archer (Grand Slam/Wild Horses/Lautrec) and drummer Clive Edwards (Uli Jon Roth/Wild Horses/Bernie Marsden). UFO’s first, pre-Michael Schenker line-up had seen a level popularity to rival Beatlemania in Japan in the early 70s, so it made perfect sense to record their third live album, ‘Lights Out In Tokyo’, on the tour to support ‘High Stakes & Dangerous Men’. Recorded on 20th June 1992 at Club Citta in Tokyo, and airing a healthy selection from their latest opus with ‘Running Up The Highway’, ‘Borderline’, ‘She's The One’, ‘Back Door Man’ and ‘One Of Those Nights’, the set inevitably includes a host of classics including ‘Lights Out’, ‘Rock Bottom’ and ‘Doctor Doctor’ concluding with ‘Shoot Shoot’ (originally from UFO’s ‘Force It’ LP) and finishing off with the Eddie Cochran classic, ‘C’mon Everybody’.
