I’m about to be 60 and it’s great to see real music played again!!!!!!!!😊
Same here, 60 in November. I can well remember when this one came out, and it still sounds fresh !
An absolutely amazing cover of a truly unappreciated classic! The family’s anthem for our Lakehouse, even our dog loves it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Your dog has good taste
✌️ peace 2023
ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON!!!
Totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Close my eyes and I'm back in 1977 in High School. Y'all are dam good. I listen to your music. Wearing my peace glass. PetRock ☮️ ✌️
The Schiltz ball makes its surreal ! Recording engineer on it besides talents of musicians.
This a wicked version. Spot on I so many ways. Vocally it's awesome but that Joele Walsh slide part....!!! Smoking. Well done guys!!
Thanks very much Andy!
Holy crap……you guys knocked that right out of the park. Awesome,well done.
Ok - badassed. Nailed the vibe, fantastic harmonies, and shout out to the bassist for nailing that line!
Simply perfect, best cover I've heard yet. Even the dude playing the Joe Walsh parts, looks like James Gang era Joe Walsh.
Thanks Rob!
WOW!!!!!YOU GUYS ARE EFFING AWESOME! I host a national weekly radio show called FLASHBACK SATURDAY NIGHT and I play Fergusson's version about 7 times a year. I will be running your version into our library and will absolutely play it on the show. I'll shoot you a link of my segment playing your song. Great to meet you guys. Here's a link to our archives so you can get a feel for what I do.

Well said
@@flashbacksaturdaynight871 thanks so much for the kind words! It means a lot to us as lovers of this music. Please check out our other videos and let us know what you think!
This is all around awesomeness. But in particular, that drummer is KILLING IT!!!!
You guys brought a smile to this old man's face. Fantastic job and a great tribute to a much underrated song from 1978. Has Jay heard this? Sure brings back memories.
Hey Roger! We're so glad you enjoyed our tribute! It's one of our favorites. As for whether Mr Ferguson has hear our humble little group perform his tune we have no idea!
I hear ya Roger. Same here.
Thunderous Applause!! Applause!! Applause!! Stadium roaring!! Stadium cheering!! Thunderous, standing ovation!! Award winning!!
I visit often for this respectful version that is a 99% homage to the original tune.
Best cover version I've heard for this great song!
What an amazing cover! I was younger when this came out (born in ‘67), but it was still one of my favorites just the same! Thanks for sharing this under appreciated hit so perfectly.
Damned good rendition. I was a college football player in the mid-to-late 1970's, and remember this song very well. This group captures the essence of being alive in 1975, and onward.
THANKS VERY MUCH! That's what we try to do!
Great - now I’m going to have the song stuck in my head again!
Hi Nancy! We wish we could say we're sorry but... Well, you know. We're glad you found our channel!
You guys rock! It's like a time machine - going back to 1978 and hearing this.
Thank you! We're glad you like what we do. We work really hard to do the tunes justice
WOW what memories that song brings back !!!! Nice job!!!!!
Thank you! We deeply appreciate the kudos!
Keep coming back to this video. The way it starts out mellow then kicks in and the camera vibrates the video... WOW. Not a music expert but the tempo, heavier bass and drums make it better than the original.
Such a great song and you guys rocked it! One of those "feel good tunes" that everyone who was around when it was released seems to have some fond memory linked to it. I was 15 in '78 and at a Junior High School dance and "made out" with a girl for the first time as this song was playing. Seems kinda silly now but at the time....well you know how it is. Thank you for taking me back to that time for a bit tonight. Great job!
Hey RIchard! Thanks for the kind words. We are really glad you enjoyed it. This is the music that we all grew up loving and its a dream to be able to perform it for people that love it as well
best rendition ever. !!!!!! Thanks Boys.
Hi Amy! You are very welcome and thank you for your kind words!
Nailed it! Great job all-around. Solid vocals, nailed the Joe Walsh slide solo, and a very good mix to top it off! :-)
Great tune even almost fifty odd years down the road.
THIS SONG KICKS THE SHIT OUT OF COVID! It was never really that bad.....hardly anyone died. LONG LIVE ROCK N ROLL!!!!
Yes - really superb cover of this gem of a song.
I usually hate covers but - THIS WAS AWESOME!!!👍🏻
Great job!
Plz keep the 70’s ALIVE!
Hello and thanks very much for your kind words. We are truly thrilled that we produced something you enjoyed. This band LIVES to keep the 70's alive! Stay smooth!
Wow! Just like the album I have had under my bed for some 40 years! Awesome job. Thanks for the memory.
If I could give it 5 thumbs up, I would. This is an amazing version of a classic. Good job guys.
Martian Productions thank you!
Don’t think that tune could be done any better!!! Y’all knocked one out of the park with that one fellow’s! 🎶!
Hey thanks Gary! We hope you like all of our videos. We're really glad you found our little corner if UA-cam!
great tunes from back in the day played and sung so well.
I'm getting 15 and 18 year old into 70s soft rock and this song is perfect. They both love 10cc.
Good job spreading the soft rock to a younger generation! WE LOVE IT!
I wish you guys would do some more big hits like this. You really have a great band.
Excellent Version on one of my all time favs!
Perfecto Boys ! Bravo
One of my favorites. All I can say is WOW you guys nailed it ❤❤❤❤❤
Found this channel completely by accident. Phenomenal musicians! I think y'all made this band directly from my own brain. I play too, thankfully for money now, in several bands but your band is the type of gig I've dreamed about joining for decades. I'm a subscriber, keep it tight and I'll be watching.
Hey Bryan! Thanks for the kind words! This band was a dream project for everyone involved and it took a long time to lock down membership and get rolling. We are really glad the work has paid off for folks that see and hear our stuff. Keep rockin', and stay smooth!
I can't imagine anyone doing a better cover/tribute of a song... so GOOD!
Awesome, great rendition of a very great song.
This song sounds like nostalgia.
After hearing this song on Family Guy last week, I can say that this is by far the most accurate cover (real slide picking) of this song.
Thank you so much! That means a lot to us!
@@petrocktv3564 absolute best cover I've heard! Any special tuning on the slide guitar?
I play it in standard Tuning.
Family Guy Garbage Island just got me here
EXCELLENT JOB!! Totally spot on! Nice slide playing by the lead guitarist & the vocals sound just like the original!
Yes, awesome cover!! I love this song!!!
Well done!
The vocals are incredible. Wow!
Damn...you guys rock! You totally nailed it!
Yes Yes Yes Right on TARGET!
Thanks Matt! We try!
Yep, brings back those good old AM Rock Radio days from the 70's. Lot's of catchy pop rock or bubblegum rock songs from back then that are actually fun to listen to and/or play. AM Radio had this stuff, flip it to FM for "Album Oriented" rock and the typical Yes, Led Zep, ZZ Top, Bad Co. etc., if you lived it you know what I mean. BTW, you guys played that right on and tight, nice skills.
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😍😍😍😍😍😍 Awesomeness
Mitch Hedberg lives!
Absolutely outstanding!!
Drummer is killing it.
That Flam Tapman is pretty on point, right? THANK YOU for the kind words!
This cover is so right on!
Awesome song, best cover yet
SPOT ON
thank you guys for performing this song! Well done, you go it!
This is absolutely perfect~ I hope PetRock is still doing this~
We are still smooth rocking the midwest!
Wow ! Surprise ! THAT WAS VERY GOOD !
Holy shit! Awesome isn't the word for this. Greatest remake ever.
Hi Wendell and thanks so much for the kind words! We are so glad you liked it and hope you will check out our other videos as well!
What a great song. Perfectly done boys!!!
Hell yes!
No idea why this popped up in my recommended but I’m glad I clicked on it. I love this song and you guys are killing it here! And I mean that in a good way. Takes me back to the 70s. ☮️✌️
Hey there and thank you for the kudos! Taking people back to the 70's is what we do!
Hell Yes !!! Great Cover. Love the 80s wigs !!
You all nailed it... Great job fellas..
thanks very much! We appreciate it!
Wow, that was a really awesome cover. Thought I was listening to the original. Very well done, fellas!
A great rendition of a great song.
Bravo!!!!!!❤
im not sure what it is... maybe the compartmentalized way everyone's role is so defined,,, but I love watching these guys. Best cover band ever
WOW! Thanks J!
Nailed it. Best cover I’ve heard so far and I’m digging the garage setup. 🔥🔥🔥🎸
Hey thanks very much! We are really glad ypou enjoyed it! Our space has been transformed since our earlier videos were shot. Nothing like a pandemic to free up time to reimagine rehearsal space!
OUTSTANDING
As a musician (if you can call a bass player a musician 😂) I am jealous. Great playing and harmonizing!! Bravo!
Spectacular!!! 👍💯👍
Thanks Bruce! We're glad you enjoyed it!
Little late finding this one but glad I did!
You made it great. I remember when Jay sang that.
Thanks, Frank! We're realty glad you liked our rendition!
Outstanding!! Well performed down to the note. Back in the day, I don’t remember this song when it came out. But in ‘78, when I was fourteen and in the 9th grade, “Shakedown Cruise” was released. The old WLSQ-AM classic rock station in Montgomery, Alabama played it all the time.
NAILED IT !
Awesome and true to the original. I need a long wig to sing along, man.
Awesome band kicks butt
Awesome!!
Wigging out with PetRock...
nice. drums and bass on point
[Wow. Awesome cover. Can't say enough about how spectacular this drummer is, holding the entire thing together with that solid unwavering groove. Stellar!]
Love this! 😎👍
Wow outstanding great job beautiful cover of a wonderful song
Thanks very much!
This is still a good song. Just recently, I heard it again, and was reminded.
Fantastic.
I thought y’all were lip syncing at first. Well done this is just as good as original. Love to see people recognize good music
Hello Dan and thank you for the kind words! We are JUST as glad that people like you out there recognize this music as well! We're glad you found us!
Awesome guys!! Spot on!
KILLER!!
The kinda band I wish I was in.
Excellent rendition. Very good
Jay would approve 👍
Thank you! We sure hope so
Thank you so much
holy smokes, you guys sound just like the original. Keep up the great covers.
Hell yeah awesome version!!
Solid performance
Badass band . Great cover
One of my very favorite songs ever! Sure brings back my teens. Wow🙏🏼🤘🏼
Awesome cover spot on ,one of my favorites
BRILLIANT
Holy Crap. That was awesome.
Best cover
I didn't OFFICIALLY start wiggin' out UNTIL I heard/saw the JOE WALSH slide guitar action ! ... Nice job, guys !! ♡
Thanks very much, Tracy!
Absolutely awesome! I love when covers stay true to the original and end up doing it better than the original! Well done guys!!
Thanks for the kind words! While we can't say we do any of the music we do better than the originals, we just love that people like you appreciate our love of them and enjoy our renditions! Stay smooth!
