Hi Tristan, Show was fantastic ! This was the fourth time I've seen them since Vinnie joined. Being a huge UFO fan I'm glad Schenker gave up the name to Phil. At least now you can see one of the finest lyricists (love his phrasing) on tour and not being held back by Schenker's issues. Don't get me wrong, I am a Michael Schenker fan (I saw him a couple months ago) but UFO without him ON tour Stateside is better than UFO with him and NO tours at all !

Back to the Tangiers show, I was blown away that they played one of my favorite new songs "Stop Breaking Down". That along with "Can't Buy A Thrill" are my favorite Visitor tracks. It seems they are starting to inch a little more away from the Strangers In The Night tracks and play some wildcards for the diehard fans. I'd welcome a couple Chapman songs a set and "Mystery Train" was a plus. Love to hear "We Belong To The Night" someday. :):)

Overall you could not go wrong with the show's set, fantastic sound and spirited performance. Vinnie really does a tasteful job of making the leads his own and really is in the groove. I've seen him many times over the years and he really has grown as a guitarist. I had the front row table at the very intimate Tangiers and got some good shots.

All the best, George Soltis (From Cleveland)
