    One of the best rock songs EVER! John and the gang should get a hell of a lot more respect. The rhythm guitar rocks, the bass is thumping harder than a trip hammer, and the sax is scorching. Everything to love and nothing disappoints in this song. Thank you guys for writing and performing this. A side note, I prefer the version of the video with the real band and not the film version. I always did get a hoot watching John do that one legged hop thing and you can see the band is having a good time.

    I can't think of any other song with as great a sax lead as On the Dark Side. Such wonderful textures in this song, begins with a piano lead and ends in pure, old school rock and roll. It's just the same verse with no real chorus, it's its own hook. Great tune.

    I`m from Rhode Island and have seen John and the Beaver Brown band many time. They should have been way bigger than they were/are. They play every song like their life depends on it. I love Springsteen but John and the band are not just copy cat aslo rans. Even now in 2020 they`re still playing.

      Speaking of that overseas military life, I had actually completely forgotten about this song, and not long ago, I heard it playing on a Korean radio station while alone and riding a bus through the local city one night. I couldn't remember the name of the song or the band, but I knew I had to find out. I have ended up getting blasted from the past by a lot of great, somewhat obscure American songs just like that, while riding buses in Korea.
