Uli Jon Roth and Phil Mogg of UFO onstage at the first LEGENDS OF ROCK
show at Castle Donington, England - 23. June 2001.
The idea for “Legends Of Rock” arose from a simple phone call ...
The festival promoters for the Derbyshire Rock&Blues Festival rang U.J.R, because
they needed a ‘last minute’ new headliner for their show in 2001. They turned to Uli
because his agent had praised his ability ‘to pull rabbits out of the hat at short notice’
and he did. Uli picked up the phone and invited some of his old friends to join him
onstage in order to make this an extra-special evening. Although not all of the invited
guests who had promised to come did show up, the audience of some 17000 was not
disappointed as the show was a great success for all involved and a bit of rock history
was written onstage that night. The entire thing was filmed and resulted in a DVD
which is simply great to watch and to listen to.

Uli were trading guitar leads relentlessly during the UFO classic‘ Rock Bottom’, which was one of the definite highlights of the concert. |

Performing freely, without prior rehearsal their set included Cream classics
‘White Room’, ‘Sunshine of Your Love’ and ‘Spoonful’ . With the backing of
Clive Bunker on drums the two masters made sure that plenty of sparks were
flying between them that night, culminating in an extended jam session under
a fireworks display above, which had the audience mesmerized.
