Wow!! Best live UFO with Chapman handsdown!!

"Headstone is a must have UFO Live cd taken from their very last show with very very underrated guitarist Paul Chapman in the Spring of 1983. This shows how great of live band UFO really were all the years of hard touring & hard work really shines here. Its not a wonder why bands like Def Leppard,Iron Maiden,Tesla,etc rate UFO as one of the best bands ever and look up to their legendary status with great acclaim. This cd will make you wish you were there witnessing the show.For one the remastered sound in incredible secondly the performance is top notch all the way through every member is dead on. I havent heard one wart anywhere on this performance. This will do any UFO fan proud!!Great packaging as well Love it!!"

"definitly a great cd to add to your UFO collection , contains live recording from the making contact tour. It was originally released in vinyl in 1983 as a swan song for the band containing best of as well as family, friends tracks (Scorpions , Whitesnake Etc....) on sides 1-3 , with side four containing 5 live tracks from this recording. Now this is only the live show with 6 more songs added, very good recording and great performance from the band we grew to love."
Definitive Chapman-era live statement

"Couldn't be happier that EMI decided to ditch the redundant "friends and relations" concept of the original "Headstone" in favor of this all live disc. Spectacular playing by Paul Chapman- one of his best ever live recorded perfomances, the band is firing on all cylinders, and the recording quality is excellent! If the whole show where here this would be the Chapman-era answer to "Strangers in the Night". A must have for all Chapman -era fans!

As good as every other reviewer states

"I can only chime into say that this cd is truly phenomenal...the band is firing on ALL cylinders, and this is a definite companion piece to the Strangers lp. Also check on the whole BBC show from 1980 also available from Amazon mp3, a complete show with Schenker classics."
