Phil was the most underrated songwriter and frontman ever. I am so blessed to have finally met the band in 2008 (with Vinnie Moore on lead guitar) and to have had the opportunity to thank them for everything they brought to me. RIP Tonka, Pete Way, and Paul Raymond. What a legacy.
Nice. Extended saw them around the same time as you. Just a little club date, Modesto, Ca. They said Phil said he had a cold. They wouldn't have known. Still rok'd it!
Yes, good songwriter, but he did not write Mystery Train. It was first recorded by Junior Paker in 1953. He took some of the lyrics from a folk song called Worried Mans Blues that was recorded in 1930 by the Carter Family. Elvis recorded Mystery Train in 1955. Many others have also recorded or performed it. Stray Cats, Eric Clapton, Jerry Lee Lewis (playing guitar).
First Off, Paul Tonka Chapman was a phenomenal guitarist (R.I.P.) And the No Place To Run cd was awesome. Train Train happens to be my one of my favorites on this cd. UFO is one of the greatest bands to grace the earth.
I saw this lineup on the no place to run tour and the original version, while PC was great he didn't fill MS shoes. Although I'm sure he was more professional and far easier to work with

@@kevinherd3437 certainly not on the Schenk stuff Nobody could. But he was excellent on those 4 albums he played on. Could used a Les Paul Gibson. Better sound.
When schenker left ufo in 78 they couldn't have got a better replacement Paul chapman was so underated God bless you Tonka R.I.P I will miss you my friend
They could have gotten a lot better replacement, but as Phil Mogg said, they rushed into it, and hired chapman because they knew him, and better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.
@@jerrywoods4066, Some people did, but the albums he played on , sold less, and fell steadily down the Billboard charts in America NPTR was the highest at #51, then TWTW&TI #77 , Mechanix #82 and Making Contact #159
@@1Phepsi interesting though their highest chart album in UK and part of Europe was Mechanix and the wild willing and innocent different from the American market believe obsession was their biggest in america
@@jerrywoods4066 Actually Lights Out was their most successful album, reaching #23 in the States. The thing people forget about the U.K. is that it's a much smaller market, and a band would get a Silver Record for selling 60,000 records, whereas in America you have to sell 500,000 for Gold. Phil Mogg said that UFO had 3 successful eras, the Bolton era in Japan and Germany, the Schenker era in the States, which was their most financially successful, and the Chapman era in England.
Early 80s, one of my first gigs, Wild & Willing tour? The roadie puts the acoustic contraption on stage, Tonka does his bit Pete & Phil stand on the drum riser The acoustic finishes, there is a 2-3 second gap, everyone grins, everyone apart from me andf my school pal know what is about to happen Kerrang, kapoww, boom [the electric bit starts] Pete & Phill go airborne It is one of my most treasured rock moments, still in my top 3, 40 odd years later
Man, Paul Chapman was good. He was every bit as good as Michael, maybe better. There, I said it! And I love Michael. It comes down to tone and style. Michael has a world of that. But Paul had a ton of it too.
Tonka was never going to win when he took over from Schenker. I remember the bad press he received back in the very early 80's after the NPTR tour. A great guitarist in his own right and they had some excellent albums during his tenure but Schenker had/has the most amazing tone, technique and phrasing when he plays. A true virtuoso.
@@jerrywoods4066 Yeah, I know. Michael Schenker is one of my all time favorites. I can't say that about Paul Chapman. I wrote the post after hearing that Tonka had died. I wanted to show appreciation, I suppose. Hell, Tonka was a good player, no doubt. And we already know how good Michael is. Cheers!
I know Schenker is a guitar god , but the Paul Chapmen era Ufo had alot of great melodic guitar rock songs that are as good as the Schenker era.To this day i dont know why they didnt become bigger in the states, mind boggling
UFO was hoisted on me and friends from a group of guys moving from San Fran to Austin early 80s. Hanging out at clubs, Lake Travis and City Park Lake Austin.
Paul brought some grit and style in his playing that fit well with UFO, especially following in where Michael left off. And then there's the band that Chapman came out of - Lone Star - that totally kicked ass in their, sadly, only two albums,. But both were great and unique nonetheless. Firing On All Six !
Россия любит UFO, и её лидера, рок-вокалиста и поэта всех времён! В России достаточно поклонников этой великой группы, жаль, что они больше никогда не будут гастролировать... Здоровья Филу, и наилучшие пожелания!!! Благодаря его неутомимости и стараниям в самые трудные времена группа не распалась, и просуществовала почти 56 лет, подарив нам плеяду потрясающих рок-музыкантов, прекрасную живую музыку и отличное настроение!!!✨✨✨🎸
What’s up with Tonka. He sure could slide those licks around. A lot like? They did play together in the beginning. I never knew that till I found a recording on here! Never heard that one before. Anyway the first tour after Michael was to me the best post Mike. There first headline tout in Philly. Tower theater. Rocked it. In his sweater. I like people who rock. Without gimmick
Pretty great. Saw UFO for Force It in '75 < Winterland. Huge Schenker fan,,,,two V's here. Later, like '82, go to see them, SF Civic (later the BG Civic) Never knew a show could get too loud. I mean, LZ, Kezar, 10 or 12 shows at Winterland and alll... This was. The only thing that made any sense was the intro to this song. The rest was a garbled mess (First row balcony seats, straight out from the stage).
I liked Schenker but preferred what Chapman brought to the band more. There's more to great music than how fast your riffs are. Always a great show when they'd come to town. RIP Tonka, Way and Raymond.
If you think Schenker was nothing but fast riffs, you are very sadly mistaken. Schenker changed the musical direction of UFO, and created the UFO guitar sound , which all other UFO guitarists have tried to replicate since his departure.
Father Phil as you call him is a great vocalist no doubt, but sadly he was a bully who's actions led to the departure of the greatest guitar player they ever had in 1978! The Chapman era produced three decent albums, but they had lost their momentum and would never reach the heights they were destined to with Schenker on board.
The best version of this song that's ever been done !
Yes, I use this one for the playlist!

Really, Phil is the best, my favorite band since 1976.
Nature girl , let’s go Europe for last concerts

Fantastic. Chapman was a tremendous talent.
The best band on the planet ever, so underrated with tonka, R. I. P. Tonka, paul Raymond and Pete way

Rock on Tonka, you will be missed, buddy!
Without question. My favorite band of all time.
Thanks for this. Bloody brilliant. First time for me was 78. Tonka was a brilliant guitarist unfortunately some people disagree
There some who worship so hard at the temple of Schenker that they are blinded to the wonderful Mr Tonka Chapman!
@@alancrosby8123 Absolutely correct. Fantastic guitar player was Mr Chapman 🎸
RIP Paul Chapman and Pete Way
Wow! What an amazing performance. Every iteration of UFO was awesome. But seemed so under appreciated. What a fabulous library of work.
Tonka Chapman in front of a wall of marshalls on a friday nite in town....wot great memories...
Indeed, the abiding memory of a youth spent following this wonderful band all over Europe.
Greatest band of all time
When I listen to UFO, so do my neighbors!!!
I hope they are properly appreciative
Great band. Great song. Great quality video
THIS IS HOW I WANT TOO REMEMBER ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK BANDS!!!!!!
Just a Wonderful Band this is Rock n Roll 👍
I was so lucky to see this tremendous version of the band a few times in NY in like 8th row or a bit closer. They were fantastic.
Chapman is one of my favorite guitarists of all time, great replacement for Schenker. That dude could jam, just loved his style, gonna miss him!
Abzolutely
Prefer Chapman over Schenker......everybody jumps on the Schenker bandwagon... No Place To Run is a brilliant album. As is TWTWATI. RIP Paul.
My favorite,too.
They were always great live. Those three albums with Chapman were as good as the Shenkner era
I saw this lineup on the no place to run tour and the original version, while PC was great he didn't fill MS shoes. Although I'm sure he was more professional and far easier to work with

This clip have such a badass vibe
Paul Chapman Tonka rips it up!!
RIP Tonka .. Absolute legend x
Blown away 2 the max what with Phil's sublime voice Paul Chapman's wonder play and a perfect rendition of a cover
Fanntastic-rock blues.
Early 80s, one of my first gigs, Wild & Willing tour?
The roadie puts the acoustic contraption on stage, Tonka does his bit
Pete & Phil stand on the drum riser
The acoustic finishes, there is a 2-3 second gap, everyone grins, everyone apart from me andf my school pal know what is about to happen
Kerrang, kapoww, boom [the electric bit starts] Pete & Phill go airborne
It is one of my most treasured rock moments, still in my top 3, 40 odd years later
This is a kick ass live version,Tonka was a valuable piece to keeping U.F.O. the greatest all time band.....Period....
TO: Phil Moog your voice is and always has been the greatest voice in RNR.
Love the field-expedient guitar stand. RIP Paul Chapman.
Met Paul Raymond rest in eternal peace.
Tonkas on fire
Great rocker.....love UFO in these days
I saw this tour in Cardiff, Wales, Chapman's home town, and he was bloody brill boyo !!!

Prime example showing that even post-Schenker, UFO still had plenty of gas in their tank. The whole band totally kills it here.
Too right they do, fucking class
Thats schenker playing
OUTSTANDING!!!!
RIP Tonka.Cool personified.
Привет Филл! Россияне твои поклонники!Прошу тебя не исчезай со сцены!Ай лав ю!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Chapman was fast as well. Those bends make your toes tap.
RIP Paul William "Tonka" Chapman...🎸
Rip pete rip paul

Awesome guitarist , saw him live on numerous occasions, perfect successor to Shencker

Good rock😈
I pray for my wife to be UFO alone for me in sex
Great.
Have a great eeekrnd
Rock on!
Paul was a big influence in Slash, don't know if anyone knows this but it's true, RIP Tonka absolutely loved your playing fucking class

Seen UFO on this tour in a 3000 seat theater Thought the ceiling was gonna cave in
RIP Tonka
I don't know why they omitted Chains Chains from the DVD, as that was they song they opened the show with!
Thattiz toetaly korrekt mr.dugydug
Rip Tonka
May
what brand is that red guitar!
ImI 💗 ImI
Can someone tell me was this the wild Willing tour? In which case would be 81? Not 80 and is that Neil Carter instead of Paul Raymond?
Definitely Carter. Must be '81 or '82.
Yes Neil Carter.
Underrated guitarrist. Sad only recently I know about him. I have 2 UFO's LPs but It seems that the band forgot this great and honest period.
My goodness, Mr Chapman is ripping here
Its not chapman its schenker
@@zog97xy Actually Schenker had left about 2 yrs earlier. Trust me, I know what they both look like. Schenker has blonde hair
now they need two guitarist for Schenker.
They had two with schenker as well, Raymond played guitar, or did you conveniently forget?
I love you baby
*on Slash
Gimme a bean that R O C K S🤘
Did'nt know Chapmaan was deceased
4 dislikes?
Seriously, huh. Some people just don't have the good sense to know great music when they hear it.
TURN THAT SH T DOWN!!! OR IM GOING TO CALL THE POLICE!!!
THERE I DID IT ! THEYRE ON THERE WAY !
Today I made a footage of 'Mistery Train' landing on Kennedy Airport in NYC,including Bird.90 Leeches came from Russia to celebrate Twitter.
Elvis could rip this up too
Peter Way, Garry Thain are may favorite bas players
Father Phil is always outstanding on vocals. Not enough good things are said about him because people are too busy worshiping guitar gods.
Not me. I got it big for Phil😍😍🖒🖒🖒. Excellent vocalist he is. But you know, the whole band is bad ass!!!! ❤❤❤
