UFO: 'Showtime' HD-DVD Due Next Year

December 13, 2007

UFO's "Showtime" concert film will be released as a state-of-the-art HD-DVD through SPV on the following dates:

Germany: February 22, 2008
Rest of Europe: February 25, 2008
USA: April 8, 2008

With the recording of their live DVD, "Showtime", at the Pumpwerk in Wilhelmshaven on May 13, 2005, the British band UFO repeated music history, so to speak. For the second time since 1979, when the group brought out their legendary live album, "Strangers In The Night", the band members left no doubt that their shows count among the best in the whole rock circus. Then as now, press and fans were unanimously impressed, and the band established a reputation that remains unchallenged to this day: UFO are unbeatable live! Now their sensational film document, "Showtime", has been scheduled for release on state-of-the-art HD-DVD, including, along with the extras from the regular release, additional bonus material, an "on the fly" menu which can be operated while you are viewing the film, and exciting picture-in-picture interviews.

Its top-quality images and sound make "Showtime" a special treat for all rock music fans, after all the UFO lineup that had its sold-out show recorded in Germany's north in summer 2005 sounds like a "who's who" of rock history: Phil Mogg (vocals),Pete Way (bass),Paul Raymond (guitar, keyboards) and Vinnie Moore (guitar),accompanied by Jason Bonham (drums),son of the legendary LED ZEPPELIN drummer John Bonham and legitimate heir to his throne at the spectacular ZEPPELIN show in London in December 2007. The concert footage and bonus material on the "Showtime" DVD, as well as additional studio recordings, a making-of, documentations from the Rockboat show and their 2004 American tour plus interviews allow but one conclusion: UFO at their best!
