    The wild shirtless lyrics of mark farner, the bong rattling bass of Mel schacher and the competent drum work of Don brewer. Y’all nailed it

    One thing that must be praised, in addition to the pure musicianship, is how well these videos are put together. The cinematography is first-rate, and it really helps highlight the talents of each musician and the pure fun that must suffuse the room. We gotta get these guys to 100,000 subscribers and beyond, stat.

    Never heard of any of you guys before, but subbed the very instant when I first listened to your version of "Born to Run", and I have zero regrets. There's so much juice, jam, and pure unfiltered joy in every new song... man, you're obviously having a busload of fun, and it's infectious.

    love you guys. and I get your main ouvre...but I think you could broaden your work to include a lot of other artists from decades later...while still doing 70's stuff. I'd love to see a Queen cover, and maybe an Adam Ant cover? Dave Matthews? Foo Fighters? You're all really talented and I wish I were Sweet Teddy P. Is there an Emmy for Best Dad Bod Bassist? There should be!
