UFO - Gas Monkey Live, Dallas, TX 2017 ak320

Despite being punched in the gut by ex-guitarist Michael Schenker numerous times from the '70s to the '90s, UFO just keeps going and going, while still boasting 3 members of the classic lineup.

Phil Mogg, Andy Parker, Paul Raymond and company landed at Gas Monkey Live
It must be said at this point that the sound at Gas Monkey Live tonight was flawless, with each tune being dialed in and tweaked all the more. This was not the case my first time there to review Jane's Addiction and I assumed it was the acoustics of the venue. I assumed wrong. Jane's sound man must just simply have been as smacked-out as the band themselves looked.

"Shoot, Shoot" closed the night out in solid fashion and gave Dallas some much-needed cowbell. Many of the mostly late 40s to late 50s crowd were singing along and reliving their mid 70s youth and I think it is safe to say nobody felt cheated.

With the glaring exception: Beers being $10.00 apiece!

That Gas Monkey Live actually also had suckers sitting in "VIP Suites" (i.e., glorified booths) that cost over $300, was not only hysterical, but it should be considered a form of rape.
