    My favorite song from this band. I don’t know how many times I cranked the stereo and played air guitar to this. First we lost John and now Tony has passed on. Total shock when I heard the news. You will be missed but your music will live on. We love you... rest in peace guys.
    This must have been fairly early with the B&W/color effect. You see it all the time now but in the 80s it probably was fairly novel. And the slow mo look but they are still in time ( had them mime to a sped up track so when they slowed to correct tempo they were in slow mo but playing in time). Neat tricks back then. The drummer always sounds so in the pocket on these tunes. I like the verse better than the chorus on this even though it's just 4 to 5 over and over. The chorus is just a

I am a Rock Historian and spend ALL my life studying bands and Roc/Pop/Metal etcetera since the age of 9 yrs. I am 69 today ( 4 June 2020) and still, I can't get enough. I bought every single music mag and newspaper and books which I could get. I have two rooms full of vinyl LPs, books, encyclopedias and you name it. When RAP and R+B junk came in, I wrapped it up. Nothing beats the Rock bands and today I am not shy to say that The Beatles are still my favorite band of all times and Robert Plant my fav. rock singer. To name just one of each from the thousands of brilliant bands. My best-underrated band of all time is The Edgar Broughton Band. I will stop here. I am getting nostalgia fits now. ROCK ON!!!!
