Fantastic pub rock classic. Most of the bands and the venues are gone but the music still lives on

I miss the days when pop sounded like this. Rickenbackers, and songwriters straight from the heart. Cheers to the Motors, the knack, and of Course the Jam!

The BBC should bring back Whistle Test and give a national platform to bands that learn their craft by playing the clubs, instead we get talentless teenagers that think they can sing in their bedroom so want to appear on X-factor.

I dont often comment on YouTube but i have to say this is brilliant musicianship. A group of skilled guys in their prime feeling their oats. They deserve more credit.

In 1977, I was 10 when I got goosebumps listening to the original version of this track. Now, at 55, I get goosebumps seeing this brilliant live version. What a magic, energetic song.

My son and his mates band, they are 15-18, do this song in their set. It's awesome to see kids so young playing music like this!

I live in the states and was 2 years old when this was made. I just found the band recently and been hooked. Awesome!!!

I remember watching this on Whistle Test first time round, and was massively impressed then, and loved it ever since. How it never got higher in the charts I really don't understand. A beast of a song.

This band came through Madison WI in 1978, and the band that I was in opened for them. Great times back then for sure!

Astounding track. The build up at 4.22 is joy to my lugholes!
@robert12011 6 years ago

I absolutely love this song and the way its played here. The playing, the attitude , the totally fantastic guitar interplay. One of my faves for sure!
@krakatoa1200 4 years ago

Surely one of the best rock songs of all time, and an Ace band kicking ass.

I saw these guys in Bakersfield California in December of 1977 opening up for Blue Oyster Cult. I became a fan instantly. That self titled album remains a favorite in my collection as does Bram's first solo effort which was unbelievably great!
