RIP Paul Chapman...your songs and amazing guitar playing brought much joy to my youth... and still to this day! You will be sorely missed. A true gentleman!
Saw Paul and the boys blow the main acts off the stage in the early 80s twice , He was perfect, even his feedback was perfect, crunchy BC rich bitch guitar, 1 yellow, other red, perfect tone. Record sales shoulda been bigger but people were listing to dog shit back then.
Your father was one of my favorite guitarist’s, I love his playing with UFO, soundtrack of my youth, I’m 62 & still listening, I’m sure he is still rocking in heaven, RIP!
"Absolutely Kicking Ass Here " on this song basically UFO is a unique band unlike really any other band. they are in a class by themselves . And if you really want to hear music that brings out deep feelings and emotions both hard and soft always turn to UFO.
It kind of reminds me of when I used to hand out flyers advertising for my bands next show (This was in the 90s) to the college students who don't care!!! They would throw the flyer away or drop it on the floor. But Noooo!!!!!!, They will line up for hours standing in line and spend a Shit load of money for tickets to see Foo Fighters or Weezer or Radiohead and they can barely play their instruments!!!😒😣😞 It was kind of disheartening and it was demoralizing but I would persevere and promote the show any way. It's fricken hard to make a living in the music business any way!!! I see that guy trying to get the crowd enthusiastic and cheer the band on!!! UFO always put on a good show no matter who the lead guitarist was!!!☺☺🎆 What a cool show!!!☺ The band was tight!!! Phil Moog sounded great!!!
My friend's brother was in the crowd. They couldn't hear the band and the band couldn't hear themselves. The sound in the video is from the desk and some studio mics that worked.
Great riff, and at 1:40 you can see Tonka adding these great counterpart notes to an already classic riff .. In all the years hearing this song, I never noticed that ...You'd be hard pressed to find a bigger Schenker fan than me, but Paul Chapman came aboard and was incredible -- Wild Willing and the Innocent and Mechanix are two of my favorite UFO albums, and Paul's album ending lead on Professions Of Violence is one of the best leads ever .. RIP Paul Chapman, and RIP to the greatest, Mr Pete Way ..
I put Tonka's solo with his new 10 string B.C. Rich guitar on 1981's 'Profession Of' (title here in the States) up there with anything Schenker ever committed to tape. That was Paul Chapman's finest hour.
Check out those guitars!!!!! I really dig those old 1982 Washburn guitars!!!! They kind of look like Gibson explorer guitars and the Jackson Kelly guitars!!!! I am a guitar nerd!!!!!🤓🤓🤓🤓
66 is no age gone to early . Went to see . Lone star at skindles maidenhead Paul's playing had a marked effect on me forever . Went out and bought both albums and still got them
Of course the best UFO was the Schenker yrs but always liked Paul Chapman's guitar playing and that era, was lucky enough to see the band on their Wild Willing and Innocent tour and it was an awesome show!!
@@turefromfinland3264 only No Heavy Petting was good really? Not Obsession, Force It and Lights Out? Schenker albums way better...you seriously bumped your head!!
@Jeff Tighe haha your hilarious while I love Wild Willing and No Place To Run they still aren't up to par with the U.F.O Schenker masterpieces and Making Contact is better then Mechanix. I think you've been sniffing glue for to long!
@Jeff Tighe Hell Yes Michael "I quit" Schenker can go goose step elsewhere..didn't miss him at all. When UFO reuniited in 1995 with him. Walk on Water didn't even make the charts in the US or even worse the UK. No one cared he was back.
I saw UFO in 1978 with krokus and judas priest and they was a rockin band. I dont no why they didnt hit it big like other bands at the same time they was good
Because as the band were on the verge of breaking big, Phil Mogg made it impossible for their main asset, the man who brought them their initial recognition, Michael Schenker, out of the band, and in doing so ruined all the hard work of the previous 4 years together. They then had to draft in Paul Chapman, a great studio player, but he couldn't play Schenker's leads in any credible way. With Schenker gone they lost their harder edge, and as a result became more of a a pop/rock band.
The reason I bought (and max’d out my first credit card!) a Washburn B20 bass - Pete Way started playing one! I still have it 40 years later, the same burst that Pete had. In fact, all three guys are playing Washburns here - Paul & Neil have the A20s!
I'm guessing this song was brand new for the time or the audience were waiting for John Martyn to come on.. can't believe the total lack of response there!
Just before this was filmed I'd seen UFO put on a disastrous show at Hammersmith when Phil had a very bad freak-out due to drugs and exhaustion.Two nights later they filmed this BBC appearance. Looking at Phil again here I can see how shot he was by this time, and I'm amazed how fighting fit he has become these days while poor old Pete is now the damage case... I'd also assumed he was getting his words wrong as usual, but it's obviuos now the chaps at the BBC didn't like the line about Gay Boys.
Phil with his usual mix up on the last verse...lol Wish they went into Let it Rain ....other wise a great version of this awesome tune... And easy church "our lady of the night"
TV audiences can be zombie as they are getting pushed around by the stage manager/director and some people are there just to be on TV and may not even know or crae who the band on stage is.
Hi:1st night. The 2nd was a blinder which made it even more ironic. I'd love to hear a recording of the 1st gig to confirm my memories- Mogg catatonic stage center telling the audience they were "all crap" while Way, just as out of it, tries to jump on his back. Neil hands on hips, Tonka jamming to himself and Andy probably so embarrassed. Having also witnessed Maiden self-destructing while filming Live at the Rainbow, these were strange old times. Always love UFO though, at least they're human!
Has anyone else noticed that Phil Mogg changed the lyrics in the last verse? The "gay" reference (on the album version it goes "Life goes on down the streets. Contacts made where the gay boys come to meet") is dropped.
Bona Drag he made a habit of sometimes repeating verses during live versions. Plus the censors for tv at the time may have said he can’t say that line. Regardless, great song, great lineup.
@@bill2527 No. You clearly have no idea what life was like back then. Any reference to homosexuality on TV was a no-no. It was nothing to do with 'A-hole liberals' or PC - quite the opposite in fact, because attitudes to such things stemmed from a very right-wing approach to the whole subject. Homosexuality was a crime up punishable by prison or even chemical castration up until the late 1960s for example - add on top of that Clause 28 etc. The current PM of Britain was campaigning against homosexualaity in the 1980s. That hopefully gives you some idea of how fucked up things were back then.
@@bill2527 Why don't you tell the class about exactly WHO you really really want to degrade and insult but now feel you cannot because of PC. Do you feel oppressed somehow because just bashing entire groups of people is now frowned upon? DO TELL.
Thanks for the reply. you must have been closer to the stage than me. From my vantage point it appeared that Phil seemed to have an verbal altercation with someone in the front few rows of the audience. And then went off to huff about it, sitting on the drum-riser, which seemed to last for an eternity. Shortly after, in the press, there was some talk of the band playing a Marquee gig or two as an act of atonement.. Never materialised, though. Yeah, great band. The best.
Looked like a bunch of New Wave kids in audience totally lost at wrong show..in 81 my band covered this song and got better response everytime..everyone loved this song..crowd not a rock crowed. UFO KICKS ASS.
Awesome. Contentious I know but for me one of the best line ups. Rock on Tonka/Mogg/Way/Carter :-) Might have been the Oxford Road Show - rocking..............................:-)
Phil moog is one bad motorscooter man i saw UFO do there last show vinnie is a good guitar slinger but myself mikey shenekar still smokes the shit out of that DEAN V

So many great guitarists passed through the UFO ranks from Schenker to Moore.
What an incredible album it was and fantastic live band. Nothing but raw sound. I miss those days
Tonka UFO was rockin' (and highly underrated) RIP Paul Chapman + Pete Way
One of favourites of my father. RIP Paul Chapman
Just found out about Paul - fricken bummer...
Seu pai sabe das coisas!!!
@@christopher8220 Indeed. Saw him twice. Seemed to be such a nice guy.
rip what a guy a true rocker
Your father was one of my favorite guitarist’s, I love his playing with UFO, soundtrack of my youth, I’m 62 & still listening, I’m sure he is still rocking in heaven, RIP!
Phil..... One of the greatest front men/singers of all time.....
It is true
Yes, and a mighty wordsmith, a rock-n' roll lyricist extraordinaire.
Mr Cool...🙂...great singer
I was lucky to see them with Schenker,Chapman,and Moore. Phil always delivered... 70s,80s,90s. Phil and Pete Way were always my favorites.
One of Ufo's best songs ever...
never get tired of this song,totally kicks ass.UFO rules...
RiP....Paul Chapman,Paul R and Pete Way...your music will live for ever!!
This lineup doesn’t get the love it deserves. This rocks.
yep - Tonka was a GREAT guitarist, hands down!!!
This is a kick ass song, one of my favorites from my youth, Paul Chapman will surely be missed, truly a great guitarist!
Paul Chatman guitar blow my mind when I seen this original on tv . Great to see it again . Amazing performance
The intro is incredible. Studio version opens with power chords but busy counter melody by Tonka is buried in the mix. The live version rocks out!
UFO..I grew up listening to and still pumping me up this days!!
"Absolutely Kicking Ass Here " on this song basically UFO is a unique band unlike really any other band. they are in a class by themselves . And if you really want to hear music that brings out deep feelings and emotions both hard and soft always turn to UFO.
Another killer song from this UFO release - which absolutely ROCKS!

Radiohead certainly can play their instruments....you should listen again!
One of the best bands ever, and the audience look like they're queuing up to be executed.
Wish they have been... LOL!!!
great line!
It's a BBC crowd. About as much life in them as you'll find at a local graveyard. Shame on them for standing around like a bunch of stiffs.
You can see a BBC crew member trying to get the crowd fired up at the beginning, but the crowd is reacting to the music.
My friend's brother was in the crowd. They couldn't hear the band and the band couldn't hear themselves. The sound in the video is from the desk and some studio mics that worked.

No place to run is my favorite UFO album 🛸
@@jimmycoleman5853 Young Blood is Top 10 UFO in my book .. Love the entire album too
@@guadalahonky4002 Anyday from No place to run
Super underrated band! One of the very best in the business.
Washburn Av 20 - gotta love the 80's. Followed this band around the UK for the last 30 years.
UFO a great band!!!
The 4 Chapman albums were UFO’s best. Strangers is superb granted, but the production on Schenkers studios albums is tame and tinny.
Tonya was so underrated as is Phil and the boys!, what a great band 👍🏻
Mechanix, the best UFO record. Just brilliant!!!!
Wow what a great audience! But how is this possible Millennials at a UFO show?
They are not. They haven't been born yet...
Utterly
Freekin'
Outstanding
Caught the Mechanix tour in Dallas! UFO eff-in ROCKED this tune in CONCERT!!!
Such a great song and on the Mechanix album goes right into Let It Rain. Awesome! RIP, Tonka. ❤
The best UFO song.
Epic UFO Masterpiece gotta love these hard rocking Dudes forever magic Show getting chills right now again
Kinda nice that ufo are finishing up with 3 out of 5 of this line up and still kicking ass with this tune
The audience whouldnt know good. Rock n roll if it bit them in the ass!!!!!
I remember this, great album and one of the best tv performances of any band I've ever seen. Amazingly cool guitars as well!
Great song ! Great album !!!!
Great Song! Cool Line up for UFO!
From back in the day!!! Rocks!!
Check out those guitars!!!!! I really dig those old 1982 Washburn guitars!!!! They kind of look like Gibson explorer guitars and the Jackson Kelly guitars!!!! I am a guitar nerd!!!!!🤓🤓🤓🤓
66 is no age gone to early . Went to see . Lone star at skindles maidenhead Paul's playing had a marked effect on me forever . Went out and bought both albums and still got them
I remember seeing this live on TV in the mid '80s. It took me by surprise, I was gutted that I didn't have time to find a blank VHS tape.
LOVE THIS!!
Best band in history of rock n roll
I saw these guys last month, Medina Ballroom in Minnesota. This was the second song of the night! AWESOME show-
Of course the best UFO was the Schenker yrs but always liked Paul Chapman's guitar playing and that era, was lucky enough to see the band on their Wild Willing and Innocent tour and it was an awesome show!!
Sorry,but Chapman era was so much better. Only "No Heavy Pettin" is good.
@@turefromfinland3264 only No Heavy Petting was good really? Not Obsession, Force It and Lights Out? Schenker albums way better...you seriously bumped your head!!

@Jeff Tighe 4 of the 5 highest all time UFO charting studio albums in the UK are ALL 4 of the Chapman era albums !!
The best underated band since un sliced bread
This line up was my favorite UFO no moody guitarist now to deal with.
Totally agree. This was the most ‘balanced’ line-up.
The guitarist was only moody because the singer was making his life hell!
If you look in the crowd at the beginning you can see the producer trying to get the crowd to cheer. Boring crowd but amazing band. :-)
that's called cueing, it's live TV and things need to happen on cue, nothing to see here, move on.
Well its got a different line up GUITAR wise
I saw UFO in 1978 with krokus and judas priest and they was a rockin band. I dont no why they didnt hit it big like other bands at the same time they was good
Because Phil doesn't have that thing some front men have, great voice, so don't get me wrong but he was difficult. LoL
Because as the band were on the verge of breaking big, Phil Mogg made it impossible for their main asset, the man who brought them their initial recognition, Michael Schenker, out of the band, and in doing so ruined all the hard work of the previous 4 years together.

With Schenker gone they lost their harder edge, and as a result became more of a a pop/rock band.
Mechanix est un très bon album. Paul chapman a vraiment eu sa place dans UFO.
looks like 2 Gibson Explorer guitars - its certainly got that Gibson power sound of heavy rock and i love it
The reason I bought (and max’d out my first credit card!) a Washburn B20 bass - Pete Way started playing one! I still have it 40 years later, the same burst that Pete had. In fact, all three guys are playing Washburns here - Paul & Neil have the A20s!

The black dots, those were the heads to have in the day !
Love Schenker UFO but Mechanix my fav album
Saw them 7 times got their autographs on the heavy petting tour! Phil saw all old tickets stubs and hey this guys a true fan!!
Best UFO allbum ever next to the killer live record...
Yeah, Mechanix is UFO's best record.
@@turefromfinland3264 Shhh man, it's not in the same league as Force It

"Ruby darling, I need you. Cross my heart and promise to be true." That is really cool!!!
