    I always loved this song !! This group cannot be praised enough for doing such a great job on this and all their other songs ! As a drummer for decades in local cover bands I know how hard it is to make songs sound good in live settings. The musicians and singers are stellar and the attention to detail is phenomenal. Let's not forget that we're hearing a performance outside on the edge of some sidewalk cafe and a parking lot !

    Gotta say. I am a 50+ year fan of Todd Rundgren. I've heard dozens of covers and live versions of the song and listened to the original a 1000+ times.It's a tough song to perform vocally. Evevn Todd can't hit the high notes in this song anymore. You did a great job. The background vocals were a great compliment and perfect pitch. Again a song that requires a perfect pitch all around. The people at that outdoor bar & grill had no idea how great a song that is and how well you performed it.

      Mortimer, I've seen Todd many times (Utopia once) and they truly capture the energy and tight harmonies on all his songs. It was sad to see Todd working hard on those once effortless notes during the A Wizard A True Star tour last year, but Todd's a perfectionist and would love seeing someone giving his songs that same care, attention, and killer harmonies.

    As a former gigging musician (and choral singer who performed many times in the Kennedy Center and Constitution Hall), I was pleasantly surprised, nay agog at the outstanding performance of this group on this song. I can't imagine coming across a better cover of this tune live by *any* other group on this planet. Playing outside is not the easiest due to acoustics, and on top of that they were backed up against a parking lot. Being a fan of Todd's many years ago, I remember every little detail of this song. Kudos to Foxes and Fossils!

    You know, I've probably watched a half dozen of these performances now and the consistently pitch-perfect vocals, super tight harmonies and superior musicianship here is quite remarkable. If I were walking past this taco place and heard a band of this caliber playing, I just wouldn't believe it was for real. And somebody (I'm guessing you, Tim) is a master soundman. The band is so well miked and balanced it might as well be coming from a studio, and yet it's just a gig set-up on the patio. And no body sounds this good and this tight without hours and hours and hours of rehearsal together. Lots of talent, hard work and focused pursuit of excellence here. Very well done.

    I just purchased their live CD. I have listened to this over and over and over. It still blows me away, Todd Rundgren, who was just inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame, couldn't match Sammi's and Maggies's harmonies on this cover. The whole band is great, Tim's singing is spot on, but without the Foxes harmonies, it doesn't quite reach the sky. With them, oh yes it does.

    This group is top notch highly professional. Tight as can be. How are they not famous and touring world wide.

    I have heard many great cover bands, but Foxes and Fossils is the best!! Absolutely outstanding!

    A recent obsession over all things Todd Rundgren, after seeing a video of him performing with Daryl Hall and his band at Todd's house in Hawaii, must have steered this video into my RUclips feed. I was prepared to hate this cover, because the song's arrangement and harmonies are so difficult to replicate, but Foxes and Fossils nailed it! I found myself wishing I'd stopped into that cafe for a light lunch on the patio that day -- I would have been blown away to hear this version of "We Gotta Get You A Woman." I'm an instant fan of y'all!

      Tim recently was able to meet Todd backstage at one of the shows with Daryl.
