The people saying there is something terrible about this are loopy. That’s a killer live band without tracks (that I can hear) and a 72 year old that’s probably been singing for 2 hours and still sounds very respectable. Also obviously a phone recording of a house PA setup. You wanna hear bad? Go listen to Bon Jovi, Vince Neil or Axle Rose live as of late. Custom touring setups, backing tracks, songs tuned down 1-2 steps and still sound like crap.
80s kids can still relate. Great memories of home. Parents were huge music fans, could pass as hippies. Beautiful time to be alive during this era. Impressed by the dedication to their fans.
Actually, that was exceptional. I started playing hair guitar in 1985 when I was 15. I was a huge .38 Special fan. They had some killer songs. Top notch rockers.

Saw them around 4 times in the early to mid 80's. They were first opening act for Jefferson Starship 81-82 Then were the headlining act w/Huey Lewis & The News and Bon Jovi as backing bands on separate tours. Killer shows!
That’s pretty bloody good. It’s a real live performance and the camera is catching the sound off centre which means the bottom end sounds pitchy ( it’s not). Great band
Agree. Weak substitute. I saw .38 special at Red Rocks in the late 1980s-awesome. This would have been awesome if they had a competent lead guitarist to play the solo. The vocals are fine.
Slower than the original ‘live’ MTV video we all remember. It’s about right on with the studio album version though…likely using a click track for the tempo which they probably didn’t do live in the good old days.
But, If the goal is not letting go, shouldn't we hang on MORE tightly? It's tantamount to saying hey do this but don't do this. You would have to define your probabilistic risk, because if you are encouraging the departure from the "hanging-on" itself -- to certain degrees of thin margin -- then it also implies that you aren't concerned that your milquetoast grip might let loose of something you have undervalued. Top-notch on vinyl. You could have used them as a reference mix back in the day I'd imagine if you weren't already listing to Huey Lewis (yeah yeah and The News).
I don’t know ? But my X and I saw them in Laughlin, Nevada about 7 years ago and they were really good 👍🏻 ! Now like I think that one guy said he sounds like a 80 year old man ! He sounds awful at all the venues !!!
Don barnes is the only original member left but they still put on an Awesome Gig. I've seen them 40 times. Wish Danny Chauncey were still with them.. but Jerry Riggs fits in nicely. Glad Donnie van Zandt is gone
@@Selig78254 .38 Special is an awesome band in their own right. Donnie never could let go of his brothers coat tail. He had to let everyone know at every gig he was his brother.. Don Barnes has them rocking harder & louder than ever. I do miss Danny Chauncey though. He & Don Barnes were so good together
Saw them probably 9 years ago or more and twice at the pompano bch seafood fest . The sounded great. I don’t know the names of them at the time but there a Van Zant that was part of the original band ? And the the lead singer what was his name ? Is he in the performance here??? 🤔🤔🤔

38 Special came to Michigan in about 1994 with Sawyer Brown. That was a kick butt show! ❤

Dont you know it!
muscle and melody at its finest. Still Killin it after all theses years
Perfectly worded! Thus, the staying power.
Just saw these guys this past Friday, in Flint MI, what a great show.
saw them 1981 in Germany Lorely and I am glad to see, that they even rock the stages, Christiane Germany
I LOVE THIS SONG💝
PLEASE, FORGIVE, I LUV 38 SPECIAL ❣️
Too few of these great bands still around. Rock on!
my favorite band/rock on still sound the same!!!😄😊🙂🎸
To all y'all in the crowd obsessed with filming: you're missin it. Put the device down, cut loose and groove, baby!
I saw them Twice years ago, and they don't sound bad after all this time ( Especially D.B.), wouldn't hesitate to go see them again.🆗👍
OVER THE TOP!!!!!!!!!!!FROM PUERTO RICO!!!!!!!!!!
We use to cover this song back in Reno in a band I was in, those were good times.
They use to jam at LaVela in PCB, Fl back in the 90’s.
I’ve seen them on more than one occasion.
Great band!
LOVE THIS BAND, cheers from Mexico

I love this song
Three months to the day, August 12th, I saw them in Lynden WA and they were amazing!
Okay...voices have become hoarse - haven't we all? I still play the original video of this song all the time.
Awesome! 😮🎉❤
Timeless ❤
Miss Jeff Carlisi on lead guitar just not the same
And no Donnie Van Zandt to sing Wild Eyed Southern Boys
That’s pretty bloody good. It’s a real live performance and the camera is catching the sound off centre which means the bottom end sounds pitchy ( it’s not). Great band
I dig 38 special.
One original member...hurts my soul.
Glad the music is still going..but its a little too country.. 38 special could rock back in the day
また、来日して！
Just Don is original, Larry junstrom passed, rest all went separate ways
Missing most of the guitar solo
Agree. Weak substitute. I saw .38 special at Red Rocks in the late 1980s-awesome. This would have been awesome if they had a competent lead guitarist to play the solo. The vocals are fine.
Love these guys, where’s Donny and Jeff . Donny should be here.
Sounds fine but is it me or is it a tad slower?
Slower than the original ‘live’ MTV video we all remember. It’s about right on with the studio album version though…likely using a click track for the tempo which they probably didn’t do live in the good old days.
ARE THERE ANY ORIGINAL MEMBERS ??
Yes, Don Barnes
"Excellent '', Bands today need toilet paper to scriblle on and make gold. Frig em. 70's ruled it and 80s
What happened to Donnie Van Zant?
Where was this?
Epcot
But,

Top-notch on vinyl. You could have used them as a reference mix back in the day I'd imagine if you weren't already listing to Huey Lewis (yeah yeah and The News).
Sounds good. Are there any original members left?
Just Don Barnes lead vocalist & lead guitar
Jerry Riggs is great on the guitar
Jerry Riggs is with 38 Special now?!? I had no idea. Wasnt he with Pat Travers for awhile? And I think he did a song on the movie Heavy Metal.
I don’t know ? But my X and I saw them in Laughlin, Nevada about 7 years ago and they were really good 👍🏻 ! Now like I think that one guy said he sounds like a 80 year old man ! He sounds awful at all the venues !!!
Always been a 38 special fan since I was a teenager but this is not 38 special this is sad
Don barnes is the only original member left but they still put on an Awesome Gig. I've seen them 40 times. Wish Danny Chauncey were still with them.. but Jerry Riggs fits in nicely. Glad Donnie van Zandt is gone
@@KellyGates-su8nbI’m not agreeing, nor disagreeing. I’m more of a casual .38 Special fan, but just curious, why are you glad to see Donnie gone?
@@Selig78254 .38 Special is an awesome band in their own right. Donnie never could let go of his brothers coat tail. He had to let everyone know at every gig he was his brother.. Don Barnes has them rocking harder & louder than ever. I do miss Danny Chauncey though. He & Don Barnes were so good together
Ok, I can appreciate that perspective. Makes sense.
Saw them probably 9 years ago or more and twice at the pompano bch seafood fest . The sounded great. I don’t know the names of them at the time but there a Van Zant that was part of the original band ? And the the lead singer what was his name ? Is he in the performance here??? 🤔🤔🤔
It'll never be .38 Special without Don Barnes. He was the band.
Um, that IS Don….
Holy cow they sound terrible
I suppose you sound better? The recording is in mono. Brighten up.
Let it go!! You're soiling your legacy.
