Dave Meniketti is one of the most underrated vocalists and guitar players, not to mention his song writing skills. You rock Dave, this song has always made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
It stands up on places i didn't know hair would even grow just listen to this amazing skilled player vocalist AND JUST LIKE THE MAN SAID HIS KILLER STUNNING SONG'S HE'S WRITTEN WOW THAY DONT COME EASY TO FIND NOWHERE
I have fond memories of serving as their Support act at age 15 (!) at The Paradiso Amsterdam. Our Fanclub got us that gig (without us knowing this) by presenting The Paradiso a petition with 750 autographs coming from our fans. It was a unforgettable steaming night !
Have followed Y&T (formally Yesterday and Today) since '75, while living in the S.F. Bay Area. Had met and got to know the band many years ago. Dave is quite an amazing "humble" talented guitarist, musician, vocalist. Mind you, the 24 people (so far) who thumbs down this killer live version of "I Believe In You" are jealous they'll never be as nearly good a guitar player, musician, and vocalist as Dave Meniketti.
I saw Y&T last Friday in Aschaffenburg Germany. I've seen a lot of concerts in my life but only a few with such an atmosphere. After this song the crowd was really going mad. It was true magic. I saw in Dave Menikettis face that he was deeply stirred at that moment. Thank you Y&T for that great evening.
Dave's vibrato is so good it sounds like he's playing one note with multiple fingers! The musician's musician. How Y&T did not become super huge I'll never know.
That solo!!!! I must've heard hundreds of solos in my lifetime, but this one....absolutely outstanding! There's so much passion in every note. First heard it on that Live album. Still makes you cry these days.
Truly among the greatest blood, sweat, and tears ballads of the 80's - and positively one of the best solos ever conceived. Meniketti is an amazingly under-appreciated guitarist and writer.
So ICON THE MAN i was up front at the CREST THEATRE in Sacramento back in the day early 90’s !!!! MUCHLOVE ONELOVE Y&T Dave rock 🪨 period my favorite for real !!!!!!!!!
I never get tired of you Rocking that guitar Dave, seen you, Yesterday and today aka Y & T in 1976 at Hayward Memorial auditorium Calif, Still Rocking with ya,
Cheers Dave! Your music has always meant so much to me... Specially this song. Like so many of your fans, this song transform us back to much simpler times. This song has soul, guts, metal, and most of all heart! Again Dave, thank you.
I've loved this song forever. The band , too, but this performance... God damn! The epitome of a fucking rock star . The most underrated musician in history. Dave Meniketti rages, and I hope he knows what an effect he's had on people. I got married for the first time in 1988. This Time was our wedding song. That didn't last, but my love for this band does.
WTF !!! i've just discovered this band a moments ago,looks very underrated and yet they love what they're doing,soo energetic,Greaaat Music,Fan already (y)
Been a fan since In Rock we Trust. No one else in Jr. High had any idea of these guys...I just came upon them....I think the 12 tapes for .1 cent deal. Been a fan since. Brought alot of people with me. An OLDER gf...I was 20...her.. 42...fell in love with Eyes of a Stranger. Saw these guys in a warehouse in winter of 16....Dave had a cold....and KICKED ASS. Best 20 bucks I've ever spent. Lol. Dave is a Genius.
no one will ever play those solos like dave i mean no one the feeling behind his music is something every musician wishes to have but few actually get there. your awesome!!!!
Thank you so much dave.through 2 kids in there 30s baby .you guys rock like very few.from playing dirty girl solo amn er in my lap at the old waldorf many times.always on your side of the stage.some showes better than others but always better than most cant cout how many but al 3 stones civic ,cow dome sacramento clearlake and my home now rwice uptown .truly one of my favorite bands.here my brother is frome me and mine .the best show of the year.thank you for all 36 years of my marrage and years before red and the black spandex pants earth shacker to black tiger.man what a ride.❤
I remember I never heard from them when I saw them playing on a festival back in 2005. I was blown away by how amazing the guitar work of this song was. Since I started playing guitar myself a while back I have a newfound respect for Dave Meniketti. What a great guitarist! Those solos speak from the heart.
Wow...Heard tons of versions of this masterpiece. Probably the best version I have ever heard, Dave is always soulful. But here he is even better than ever. R.I.P Phil. Wearing your band right now as I type.
First band I ever saw live on the Mean Streak tour at Cardiff St. Davids Hall, blew me away entirely, dont know exact date(82/83) but I must have 13yo ish, awesome, to this day I love this stuff!!
These guys, then known as Yesterday and Today, played at my high school in 1977. Unfortunately I HAD TO WORK! I missed it. The real sorry part is that I did not try to get out of work. I heard it was great.
My best friend died in 2010 and this is my favorite thing of not because I seen them more than anybody the fact is I gyro songs about me and my life as God is my witness they are talking about my life
Epic tune,first got to see the band in 82 as the support to AC/DC.Then Donnington 84,what a lineup that was.Excellent band and so lookin' forward to Tuesday night in Toronto at The Rockpile!
A brief correction, I believed you, but, who the fvck cares, absolutely classic, we were there too many times, and you will not remember anything nevermore, I believed the one once lived in you, but my love for Y&T still alives, I will be back right there, Rock On Forever!
Dave is the greatest vocalist/guitarist of all time in terms of being a full human and not appearing to suffer from some dysfunctional ego driven maniac, social misfit, pussy hound or rebel without a cause that so defines much of our artist class. Now sure, there are other singers or guitar players who can technically do greater feats within the physical realm but so can my computer. But in terms of being an artist, expressing through sound the experience of being a human being in the real world, without an unrealistic political or social agenda, just the sweet, tender, raw, passionate, angry, etc. adult reality of what makes up most of our lives, Dave Meniketti's body of work and guitar playing expresses it more than any other artist I'm aware of.
Oh, there were always egos at play like with ANY group of people (not just musicians), but they always worked it out with no drama and knew why they were there, who got them there, and the depth of their love of the art.
mmm I don't really think he is underrated... for the ones who know the bands and specially for the ones who have seen him live... He is the absolute best performer ever!!! So... they problem is that people know nothing!!! Tonight I'm going to see them live for the 6th time!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!!
Been jammin' this band a lot. I didn't know Miniketti had it like that on the axe. He's really good. I've always loved guitar solos. My favorite song is Contagious and yeah back in the day I liked "Summer Time Girls"... and this one....I like the lyrics and the vocals but, it's the guitar that gets me.

Don't know why nobody ever talks about this guy just so skilled and also puts his heart in it
One of the most mindblowing guitarsolos I have ever heard.
Dave Meniketti is one of the most underrated vocalists and guitar players, not to mention his song writing skills. You rock Dave, this song has always made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Absolutely agree
It stands up on places i didn't know hair would even grow just listen to this amazing skilled player vocalist AND JUST LIKE THE MAN SAID HIS KILLER STUNNING SONG'S HE'S WRITTEN WOW THAY DONT COME EASY TO FIND NOWHERE
For me is probably best soul solo in world.Just Michael Shencker can be equal
He is also one of the biggest Liars
@@jamesrigsby2382
In what way is he a liar? He said my penis is small. I'm waiting.
Y&T are actually better than they were in the 80s live. I did not want this one to end. Incredible soloing.
his gitar playing so uplifting when listning alsmost in extasy by the high notes great, i`m a big fan
Y&T first blew my mind in 82. 33 years later, Meniketti is still playing with a heaping helping of soul.
I was blown away in 1980 EARTHSHAKER.....Meniketti is so underrated,pete from london
And sounded amazing even here.
I have fond memories of serving as their Support act at age 15 (!) at The Paradiso Amsterdam. Our Fanclub got us that gig (without us knowing this) by presenting The Paradiso a petition with 750 autographs coming from our fans. It was a unforgettable steaming night !
most underrated band ever absolutely brilliant

I'll go a little farther: best rock band of all time.

Right on, loved em since 80. one of the most amazing live acts ever!

Dave's vibrato is so good it sounds like he's playing one note with multiple fingers! The musician's musician. How Y&T did not become super huge I'll never know.
Been watching this over and over for 10 years now, and I think it might be the single greatest performance of this song ever! Just blistering talent!
That solo!!!! I must've heard hundreds of solos in my lifetime, but this one....absolutely outstanding! There's so much passion in every note. First heard it on that Live album. Still makes you cry these days.
Saw these guys on tour back in 80s best gig ever, dave meniketti is sooooo underrated as a vocalist
Truly among the greatest blood, sweat, and tears ballads of the 80's - and positively one of the best solos ever conceived. Meniketti is an amazingly under-appreciated guitarist and writer.
The way Rock should be played...Killer!!!..you can really tell Dave was a man who liked his blues,,,Awesome!!
Grew up with them in the 80's.84 grad saw them a few times with nigjt ranger at the cow palace bay area..brings back memories!! 😀 😅
One of the best live performance's to ever occur on this planet. Out of this world. Stellar!!
One of Dave's finest hours period !!!
One of the best guitar solos I have ever heared
So ICON THE MAN i was up front at the CREST THEATRE in Sacramento back in the day early 90’s !!!! MUCHLOVE ONELOVE Y&T Dave rock 🪨 period my favorite for real !!!!!!!!!

+thedesertdweller Maybe just after Gary Moore
Oh, there were always egos at play like with ANY group of people (not just musicians), but they always worked it out with no drama and knew why they were there, who got them there, and the depth of their love of the art.
