I LOVE LONG CLASSIC ROCK JAM SONGS!
I first heard this song on The Simpsons, where Homer Simpson stumbles upon a hippie van and this song is playing. Pounding psychedelic rock!
You may also have heard this on Guitar Hero.
This video shows some things I never realized on the recorded version, like the two drum sets, in call-and-response, and saxophone and guitar harmonizing!
The basslines are also classic rock stuff. None of that root note playing. The drums are from a bygone era when they’d go tiddyboom on one drum at a time. It also seems pretty fast!
Plus, Edgar Winter (the albino) wailing on the Keytar is simply amazing, and then tweaking his ARP 2600 semi-modular synth while getting honked at.
I was having a drink with classic rockers Crosstown Traffic, and we were vocally jamming this song. And loving every moment of it. (Imagine Jack Black in School Of Rock.) It was also said that once, they vocally jammed, and this bystander got so charged up, he started pressing the button under a Keluar (Exit) lamp in rhythm.
And now, for some gig updates.
I’m going for all six!
