Roger Chapman Rockpalast 1981

[boddumblues]

This is the best setting for Geoff Whitehorn as far as I am concerned and know of,

his tone is exellent and the atmosphere is perfect for the the flow of his notes!

[madkeysfilms]

Boz Burrell played in a later version of The Short List. Particularly on the double album "He Was, She Was".

[madkeysfilms]

The band was The 2nd Incarnation of The Short List; Geoff Whitehorn Gtr, Leonard "Stretch" Stretching drums, Jerome Rimson bass,. Nick Pentelowe on sax, Cathy and Helen BV's , myself, Tim Hinkley Piano/Oragn and Chappo of course. This was the band that blew through Europe from 1978-1981 and IMHO the best of the many later versions of The Short List.

WOW!!!

[DelPacificoCR]

Fantastic ! The lengendary red boiler suit and all .... Roger Chapman Short List " Live In Hamburg" is a great slice of vinyl if you can find it ..... Boz Burrill ( King Crimson ) played sax on the LP.

[peepingtom293833]

@DelPacificoCR

sorry, the man is called boz burrell, sadly dead

[middenrat]

when will youtube sort this syncing crap out?

lucky the stage lighting is so poor they could be playing 'Happy Birthday' for all I know

[Franki1968FF]

COOL!!! OBER GEIL!!! ODER NICHT...UND NICHT MAL RAUS AUS DER BUDE!!!

DA KOMMT GUTE LAUNE RÜBER!!! FRANKI

[ralphomat]

Leider ist es nicht die Aufnahme/Version, die ich suche. Da hat sich das Ganze sehr interessant hochgeschaukelt... Trotzdem vielen Dank, der Fehler liegt möglicherweise an meiner (evt. getrübten) Wahrnehmung. Chappo 4ever!

[ralphomat]

Ich hatte mal eine Aufnahme, wenn ich mich recht erinnere live in Hamburg, die war m. E. expressiver. Weisswerwas?

[ulli61]

@ralphomat Kannst Du auf Chappo´s Website herunterladen. chappo.com

[AxelFriedhoff]

I loved the Band "The Family" in the late sixtees .. the singer Roger Chapman has been incredible ... this, from 1981 .... is ROCK at it's best too.

[caravaneriam]

GGGGGGGGGspot again

[dolphage2]

A bunch of fine musicians getting their groove on. This is the kind of live show everybody dreams about and those women can sing back-up in my bed anytime..

[tevredenman]

@dolphage2 stuff were dreams are made off.keep on dreaming my friend.....

[caravaneriam]

This is RC on a roll.

Simply brilliant.

[DonauIsar]

in München in the end of 80s he played only 75 minutes :-(

[CaglioStraw22]

nach 50 Jahren Musik und live Auftritten wird man manchmal müde. ein bisserl.

[Bremer62]

sah im im tv tolles Konzert.

[MsAsmodeus]

Didn't know Chapman back in 1981 (aged 16 then). But I remember sitting in front of the TV hoping this appearance will never end. ;-) Nearly 3 hours, just thrilling...

[caravaneriam]

Just had to get this off my chest.

FFFFFANTASTIC.

[hansaushamburg2008]

so great!! Thank you!!

[caravaneriam]

Ive had several listens at this and it is fantastic.

Put earphones omn and get the full impact.

One of the best i have ever heard

[caravaneriam]

When will Roger receive his Knighthood for services to music?

Brilliant brilliant.

Arise Sir Roger

[azharkamal]

i used to learn geoff whitehorn´s solos from the live in hamburg album. i did meet geoff while i was playing at the frankfurt musikmesse sometime in the early 90ies. i was playing at the di marzio booth, when geoff walked by i stopped and said, hey geoff! you made me practice,man! he said: thanks. then keep on practicing!;-)))) coooool dude!

[fvzappa]

Chappo is one of the best musicians! I saw him often and he never stopped playing, the maximum was more than three hours, changing his shirt seven times

[varinia61]

I was at this show in the Markthalle in Hamburg. Nobody can get the crowd going like Chappo.

[einbergmusik]

Buntmeister is right ! No Gruga-Halle without Heh heo Heo from the crowd... :+)

Anyway, Chappo is fantastic ! Thanx for posting this video.

[ekhaat]

Confirmed, it is not grugahalle, I have grugahalle on tape, and the intro to this song is very different

[buntmeister]

This is not from the Grugahalle Rockpalast but from the Markthalle, Hamburg

[einbergmusik]

Du hast recht, Buntmeister :

bei der Grugahalle wäre noch das Heh Heo Heo dabei gewesen... :+)

[ifsixwas9]

Yeah!!!! That's really the heart of Rock'n' Roll!!

[Fulkaris]

oh how utterly utterly wonderful

drummers and bass players like we don't have them anymore, in our decandence,lay the foundation......

[CalmBefore6]

yes, id love to see some bass players without a pic once and a while. im sick of being the only one on my school who does finger picking.

[misa1952]

super fine, thank, beautiful....

[GloriaMundi]

"German Television proudly presents ..." Good memories. Thanks so much for posting!

[vemnen]

What can we want more - even the sound quality is good.

[atomicmoog]

Hey THIS is great ...

I`be been there (I must been a little bit younger than today ;-)) ... Chapman played until the morning comes outside the Gruga ... absolutely phantastic .. if one thinks about today`s concerts where after 1,5 hours its over and out .. Chapman seemed to have FUN to play there .. and we`d also listen to it and had a great party ... wow.

[rockdox51]

Chappo at his best

[AirHendrix91]

For the Motherland!

[shotdonkey]

still good stuff, but no match for what chappo was doing in family; by this time he had definitely gone into "simpler is better" mode.

too bad he`s chosen to remain there ever since...if you think this is good, check out family`s "good news - bad news" on youtube for an eye-opener...

[eibraate]

Very refreshing music. And I recond this is a elativily modern Chapman at work? Hero in 71-74 with Family?

[prosepp]

let the good times roll, yeah !!

[paulr2805]

this man is a national legend - do not miss

[robertfish3]

Chappo at his very BEST

[Helmut63]

Chappo at his best. His Rockpalast appearances in the early 80s are unpre-(or post-)cedent.
