I've loved this song since 1974. I consider it the original rock anthem. I've heard many covers of this song and some were very good, but never like Head East. I also like the simplicity but yet the cleverness of the album jacket.
It's a fairly stable line-up that Roger (the only 1970s veteran) has assembled. Murtha is new, but when Glen Bridger was in place before him, they were unchanged from 2006-2022. Be nice if someone would post a full show. This was actually only the band's 3rd-best selling song. But thanks.
I saw Head East one time in 1978 when they replaced Van Halen on the Black Sabbath bill in Phoenix.
I was there in Phoenix at the Celebrity theater, they were great.
Rockford memories.
I saw Head East at old Tempe Big Surf 🎶 ✌ way back when 😉
The drummer has no energy at all almost like you're just using the song to fill airspace! 🎆🚨
Thanks for posting these videos, Rick! 👍
My pleasure, and you are most welcome.
Dude looks Like a combination of John schlitt an Edgar Winter group! 😀🎆🚨

Originally John Schlitt who now is lead singer for Petra
Is this at The Celebrity Theater ?
Yes, Roger. Do you like the venue?
Not the same without John Schlitt who is now lead singer for Petra!
Agreed! Schlitt in his prime was amazing
Yep!
The last few years he’s been singing with John Elefante in Jay Sekulow’s classic rock cover band.
When they get to the chorus Harmony and Melody it is not the same without John schlitt! 😠
A sound engineer would be helpful.
Good tune, annoying drummer
