John Nelson (The guy with the strat) owns a vintage guitar shop in hollywood and he sold me a 2005 Gibson Les Paul. I recommend everyone go see his store. He is right next to the sunset strip guitar center.
I was in Mommy and me class in Burbank, CA with John Nelson's wife Gail. We were both a few weeks away from having our first children in the fall of 1983. We became good friends and I eventually started caring for their son when our sons were about 3-4 months old. They moved around 1988 or so. We moved in 1991. We lost track of one another. I've tried to track them down over the years. Around 2001, Eddie Money played at The California Midstate fair in Paso Robles, CA. We had moved to San Luis Obispo County in 1991. My ex husband and I went to the concert. Then we stood in line just to ask Eddie if he had been in touch with them. He said that he hadn't heard from them in quite a while.
I like the drag-racing video of this song. It reminds me of my younger brother when he owned hot-rod cars and raced them on the streets for titles. He owned a Ford Mustang 2+2, a custom Dodge Colt with a small block V-8, speckled-paint under the hood, super nice interior, custom racing wheels and tires, in other words, the works! Guys came running to just check the oil of the little Dodge Colt. He wiped it out drag-racing in Portland (Louisville) Kentucky. God, I miss my brother...
saw him live back in the summer, it was an outdoor venue and it came a thunderstorm and the band kept playing until stuff started shorting out. the support that he promoted for the military combined with the rest of his show was awe inspiring.
he played in Memphis in 87 2 and at Mud Island on the Mississippi River.. people were in their ski boats and yaughts as well -listening along with beautiful lights displayed on the water it was beautiful and i will never 4get it... he was my very fav at that x in my life and at 23
Yeah, I wish I could find a VHS copy of this concert somewhere. I keep looking on ebay but nothing yet. My friend got to hang out with Mahoney on his bus at the NY state fair last year because he works for Eddie's good pal Benny Mardones.
It makes me sad that the video cuts off. I really like this song: in fact, I prefer this live version to the studio recording--and that's saying something, because that's pretty rare for me!
I was good friends with The Eddie Money Band's lead guitar player's wife when we were pregnant with our first sons. We were in Mommy and me class in Burbank, CA, just a few weeks before we gave birth. She in mid September 1983 and me Oct 6, 1983. We remained close through 1989. I was their childcare provider when her hubby went on tour and nobody would keep my son longer than 15 minutes before I received the phone call telling me I had to come home because he wouldn't stop screaming. It ended up working out for both of us. Then they moved in 1989 and we moved in 1991. I miss Gail Nelson and her family! If John Nelson sees this...or Gail, Christopher, Stephanie, or Jennifer Nelson...please let John and Gail know that I have been looking for them for a very long time! I cannot believe our oldest sons will be 38 this year. September for Christopher and October for my son Jason! Also, I finally am a Bubbe. My younger son, became a Daddy at the end of December 2020.
OMG!! I recorded this show when it was on (88?), only my tape cut out a little farther then this does. Been looking for a replacement. I thought I could use the end of this one, but looks like I can't. I saw it on ebay years a go from Japan. It went for almost $100. My tape is almost worn out. Wish I could find a replacement. Poster won't answer messages. Chris.
What is eddie really saying on the line that sounds like "we did some shakin' til the middle of the night?" I heard sound bite of him talking to the guy on my favorite radio station saying that it was true that he was really say... and I kinda missed it. Eddie also drives a Pontiac Solstice because it's American made! Patriot or what
He played in the band for a few years. I am not sure if he has done a lot of known band work. I think he runs a guitar shop and that is what he likes. Heck of a player
take note on new country like kenny chesney and jason aldean, montgomery gentry.....they are taking the rock and using it in country.....and it is awesome.....because it is the only fresh rock sound you get on the radio.......
i love eddie money, but i sure wish he would go back and have two guitarists and get the tone and volume he had like in this video......true rock fans don't get this type of tone, melodies, volume any more.....the time is sooo ripe to get it out there loud with rhythm.....this video is soo awesome really brings out the tone and volume.....gotta crank this......we just don't see this anymore.....sad really........
Just keep playin lad... I grew up playin by ear and I think it is probably better because you learn to play with more "feeling"...This solo is totally a "feel" type of solo...I don't have any tabs for you. I apolgize.
Tommy GIrvin (the rhythm player here) took over and stayed for about 20 years until the end. He is pretty good but I really love Johns play for the band. His sound fit so well.
Wow Eddie was messed up on this night lol funny how he got addicted to drugs after being a cop for several years fighting drugs on the street. Oh well I guess stranger things have happened.
Johnny Nelson is absolutely killin' it on lead guitar. If I could play lead guitar, I would want it to sound like that.
10000%
Just brilliantly melodic from John Nelson on lead. Kills it at 4:29
Miss this man so much! When any of his songs play, the volume goes up to 10! Especially this one!

Eddie Money is so iconic. Such a greatly talented man.
Eddie Money Shoreline Amphitheatre (Mountain View, CA)MAY 19, 1987. I was there. The good ol days
Those were some damn good musicians backing Eddie.
Splendid West Coast, soulful guitar work there by John Nelson.........
He opened for and act that I can't remember back in the early 80's and blew the roof off of the joint. Loved his music ever since.
seen him back in the 80's. One time backing up April wine. Really good show. and Eddie is a true Pro.
this song omg is so good I just saw Eddie and his daughte Jessie in new Hampshire very good and he's very nice I met him
this was my labor song for my little sarah .. 2005 .. love you eddie

There's a special way of rocking out to Eddie Money, timeless.

One of the Best Dirty "RocknRoll" songs. Great guitar fills and tone too !
saw him live back in the summer, it was an outdoor venue and it came a thunderstorm and the band kept playing until stuff started shorting out. the support that he promoted for the military combined with the rest of his show was awe inspiring.

Love the lead solo in this yarn.. Sooo tasty and melodic. I love covering this song. However, I have to give ALL the credit to Jimmy Lyon
Nice!

You mean long version/LOL! Very cool Live version!
eddie (mahony) money

in the video he seems like he's really at the end of his power, he could barely hold the legs.
but it's an amazing song!
I totally agree with you.
Today's music suck's!!!!!!

@GreatCODEMAN22 should listen to more metal....shit is great and I have as much fun playing Metal as i do the classics such as Mr. Money
I'm just 18....what happend to the great old music?! :-/
It's all on You Tube for free- and they are dying off by the 100's now. See them while you can when the Covid bullshit is over.
1985
What is eddie really saying on the line that sounds like "we did some shakin' til the middle of the night?" I heard sound bite of him talking to the guy on my favorite radio station saying that it was true that he was really say... and I kinda missed it.
Eddie also drives a Pontiac Solstice because it's American made! Patriot or what
Hey, Its his show, he can do whatever he wants...
Jakester566, you said you had this on VHS. Is it a bootleg or can you buy it online from Amazaon? It seems like a great concert.
John's daughter Stevie is .... very nice.
I'd really appreciate the tabs for this song, can't find 'em anywhere and I'm not good enough to figure it out by ear
John Nelson's vibrato is Clapton level.
Didnt know he could rock 1:39 that good@! He needed to loosen up😂😂😢😢🎉 2:29 🎉🎉😢🎉 2:33
He can play
@opd7175opd wasn't he a cop in the Bronx b4 he was a singer ?
VHS!
what band is john nelson from??? like is he just a special guest here?
He played in the band for a few years. I am not sure if he has done a lot of known band work. I think he runs a guitar shop and that is what he likes. Heck of a player
Where is the venue
kevin gilbert on keys!!!
@ 1:53 it looks like DENNIS LEARY is playing that les paul.
what is the bass players name
every time i hear a eddie money song i have to lip synch it with my mouth to the side...good times
mike95050 LMAOOOO
where's the other half? lol
Thank you...Ok you win Tommy Girven comes in 2nd
take note on new country like kenny chesney and jason aldean, montgomery gentry.....they are taking the rock and using it in country.....and it is awesome.....because it is the only fresh rock sound you get on the radio.......
@LAURAUSA100 today's shit does fuckin' suck!
i love eddie money, but i sure wish he would go back and have two guitarists and get the tone and volume he had like in this video......true rock fans don't get this type of tone, melodies, volume any more.....the time is sooo ripe to get it out there loud with rhythm.....this video is soo awesome really brings out the tone and volume.....gotta crank this......we just don't see this anymore.....sad really........
@DrRosewater Lol, i think Angus had a better vibrato than anyone, not that Clapton's is bad. But to be honest, Angus vibrato is next to none.
Not a bad song, but I used to make fun of this song by singing, "She was shittin'. Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shittin'!". Lulz.
Just keep playin lad... I grew up playin by ear and I think it is probably better because you learn to play with more "feeling"...This solo is totally a "feel" type of solo...I don't have any tabs for you. I apolgize.
john on lead really made this line up during this period..eddies bands since have been 3rd rate..
Tommy GIrvin (the rhythm player here) took over and stayed for about 20 years until the end. He is pretty good but I really love Johns play for the band. His sound fit so well.
Wow Eddie was messed up on this night lol funny how he got addicted to drugs after being a cop for several years fighting drugs on the street. Oh well I guess stranger things have happened.
I like this song...but this performance is aweful
