Absolutely! I still have some of the old guitars, but the 66 Mustang, 64 Electra 225 convertible, and 69 Delta 88 ragtop are long gone. Those were some fine cars.
Really nice job men! Beautiful sound. I'm 63 and thought I was back in high school cruising in my car listening to the radio. Some of the best music ever back then!
@@scottr3141 I'm 63! And you said It! Even if it's kept alive for those of us who was in Highschool Back Then🥰 For Sure My other fav, Was Dream Weaver! 💖
I suspect that the drummer might take exception to that comment! I, too, am pushing 70 and still playing out regularly. The flesh may be getting a bit weak, but the spirit is still strong!
I was 17, working at a college town pizza joint, when this song was on the jukebox. I think I almost wore that 45 out. I still feel like making pizza whenever I hear it today. lol, cheers!
63 here and boy did that song bring back my high school days cruising around! A great hit by the band "Ace" in 1975. Great job guys! Lead singer nailed it!!!
Love good old Rock and Roll as have old brother that played R and R and my daddy played Old Country so I'm a lover of all good music and you all definitely fit that space glad to find your 🎶 ❤
@@billiambass4308 This was our first attempt and I was just learning. I sent that vocal file to a friend with a "real" studio and he processed it. I'm not sure what he did with it, besides removing the bleed between phrases. I did the overall mix. I will say the vocal sounded much better when I got it back. Since then, my usual approach is compression, reverb, and a touch of delay set to eighth notes. I will attempt Melodyne if needed, but that seems to be a 50/50 thing at my skill level.
@@guysdownstairs Put together enough great Covers like this and you won't have to Gig, very wholesome environment, good songs well player. Good Luck with the Channel.
Fantastic!! It's amazing how music seems to get even stronger in us as we age! Music is Healing and it Touches the Soul. I can see the joy on your faces! 😊👍
Beautiful guys!!!!!! Great voices, great harmonies ! Thanks for representing us older musicians !!!! Pure quality, I really enjoyed listening to you !!!!!
59 years old. Staying youthful by playing my guitar with my old buddies in crime, musically that is. You guys rocked it out of the park. Awesome job. Cheers brothers..🍻👍😀♥️
Awesome guys…such memories. I am a 70 yr old that still loves playing the oldies so can totally relate the 60s, 70s, 80s some of my favorite music ever. Keep playing guys 🎉
@@guysdownstairs The song isn’t complicated but the vocals make it very enjoyable. You guys look like you are enjoying yourselves. Probably friends for many years. I doubt you guys met up on Craigs List.
Absolutely outstanding! With all due respect to Paul Carrack, the lead vocal is every bit as good as the original. Great music, guys. Accolades from Sunbury, Australia 👏👏
Gentlemen ! Holy sheep shit, I really enjoyed that. I'm 58 and I've been enjoying music since I was still a little turd dropper. That was excellent and I could listen to that for hours. Keep up the good vibes.
As a kid from the 70’s I have to agree. My mom was a waitress and her boss would let me have all of the old records from the jukebox. I love the older music!
Yea guys I'm 69, still giging and able to sing most songs in original keys so feel really blest. Love listening to you guys still doin it. Fabulous. Thanks a million for the Listens.
This group is tight ! The harmony is so smooth ! Lead player looks like he should be fishing on our local lake, so cool ! Bands today don't have a clue !!!
Thanks for watching! One of the best singers I ever worked with is from England. Just listening to him talk between songs was entertaining. Love that British accent.
I will be 60 next year, so I remember listening to this song on the radio back in mid 70's! What a fantastic sounding band, drummer nailed the vocals! ❤ I wouldn't trade growing up in the 70's for all the iPhones in the world!
Proof us old geezers can still ROCK IT!!!! GR9 job guys!!! LOVE IT!!! Been a bassist over 50 yrs now myself. Health issues took me out of doing it live anymore, but can still lay down tracks! ~Cheers!!!
Summer breeze, ragtop down, day off, tunes up loud, no problems, headed to the beach...very nice~! Kuddo's to you guys. Y'all can live in my basement anytime.
Man, I’m so effing glad I’m a Boomer. Best music, best cars.
Absolutely! I still have some of the old guitars, but the 66 Mustang, 64 Electra 225 convertible, and 69 Delta 88 ragtop are long gone. Those were some fine cars.
Rumble of a big block !!!
Don’t forget the bikini! Great time to be young and alive.
SO TRUE! I had a little Datsun 280ZX. Silver color, back then.. And my FAV CAR is the CAMERO IROC Z28 Beautiful Real Blue color with T-Tops.💙
And nowadays guitars of our generation are vintage
76 years old and this music never gets old .
Agreed!

I’m 59 and I’ve always loved this song. You guys did great!!
Agreed. Born in 1961. Best decades to be growing up! The best music ever and will be played for generations to come. WTF has happened to our country?
@@scottr3141 I'm 63! And you said It! Even if it's kept alive for those of us who was in Highschool Back Then🥰 For Sure My other fav, Was Dream Weaver! 💖
Amazing version, the singer has the Paul Carrick golden voice..and the guitarist nailed it. Thank you all…for keeping real music alive…
Thank you!
I'm 67, and you guys are speaking to us. Don't stop.
Thanks! We'll be back soon.
Me 2
Kudos to those who refuse to hang up their rock 'n roll shoes. Excellent, guys.
Thanks! Never! We'll rock until we drop, as they say.
@@guysdownstairsJust found your channel. 👏 You guys are great!! From a 69 yr old lady who loves rock and always will!! You have a new fan. 🙋♀️
I have never understood how a drummer can drum and sing at the same time, it's an amazing talent. This quartet have talent in spades.
Thanks. A mystery as well to me. It is song dependent, though.
It’s not unlike juggling while on a unicycle!
It's very hard, but the ones that can do it make it look easy.
Practice,practice, practice.
Good jog guys!!! Wow
So great to see guys my age playing their asses off and doing a great job on a classic rock tune. All outstanding players! Thank you! 🌞
Thanks! It's fun!
Iam 61 , this tune is my childhood. Thank you 🙏 Very good.
These guys make Me PROUD TO Be Elderly!
Too old to carry all that stuff to a gig, but we can still get down the steps to the studio. Thanks.
I suspect that the drummer might take exception to that comment! I, too, am pushing 70 and still playing out regularly. The flesh may be getting a bit weak, but the spirit is still strong!
Now that is funny …..
Hahaha.
I play keyboards and have digital gear now.
That old Rhodes was too heavy even back in the day.
You got that right!
Ace, one of the most underrated bands of the 70s... Thank you for keeping the memory up!
Ace, a great band and a great classic tune.
Great rendition! I'm 71 and spend hours playing everyday. We get old but great music doesn't!
Thanks! We indeed are very "experienced".
OLD FARTS are becoming Cool again !
@@xxllbb55 Ha! It's about time I guess.
@@xxllbb55we may get old bodies, but Our minds stay young…great song, great singing!👏👏👏♥️🌹
You know it, brother. 66 and still gigging
Yes! We’re just getting started in our 60’s & 70’s! I’m 69 and just started cranking out covers about a year ago. 🥰
Cool! Keep at it!
Wow this brings back memories. I am 67and remember this song from years back. Keep it going guys. The Mrs.😊
I was 17, working at a college town pizza joint, when this song was on the jukebox. I think I almost wore that 45 out. I still feel like making pizza whenever I hear it today. lol, cheers!
Thanks for watching!
I love this. I’ve been gigging for nearly 40 years and without knowing it, this is the sound that I want to make. Thank you gents, that was beautiful.
It's a killer tune. I think the key is that great Rhodes keyboard sound.
Tasty!
These guys are so good. Great band. Keep on Rocking guys.
Thanks!
77 years old and still love this music. You guys sound great!
I have watched many of your
Videos.
Thanks for listening!
63 here and boy did that song bring back my high school days cruising around! A great hit by the band "Ace" in 1975. Great job guys! Lead singer nailed it!!!
A truly great song. Thanks!
Wow, as a 55 year old metal head who loves California Soft Rock, I salute you all. That was really good.
I totally feel you there
A metal head who loves soft rock .
They didn't call metal , Metal when this song came out .
California? Paul Carrick from Ace is as Yorkshire as they come. Just like Joe cocker and Robert Palmer etc
Love good old Rock and Roll as have old brother that played R and R and my daddy played Old Country so I'm a lover of all good music and you all definitely fit that space glad to find your 🎶 ❤
The bass player looks like he's in heaven, pure joy.
Love that guy. He makes me smile.
That's Larry. He keeps us all smiling.
5 string bass, too.
Knocks on floor, “hey, you kids keep it loud down there!”
Ha! I think our loud days are behind us.
@@guysdownstairs yea, mine too!
😊😊😊😊.
I'm 82 and you guy's did a great job of that song ,love you guys
Thanks! Nice that somebody, just a bit older than me, enjoyed it.
72, Florida Keys ... Just great!
I’ve heard this song covered by dozens of bar bands back in the 70s and this is BY FAR THE BEST cover of it I’ve ever heard!!! Nice!!!👍🏼
Thanks! We've been covering it since it was top 10.
This makes my heart happy. 77 and still ROCKIN!🎸
Hey, us middle-agers have to keep the music going. Thanks!
This is as good as I have ever heard, and I am 78 years of age, and have been a professional musician.
Thanks! Check out the original, it's the gold standard.
@@guysdownstairs I didn't expect that! How do you get that vocal sound? Echo, reverb, but sharp, clear, right on key...jealous!

Oh my goodness, I just went back to a better place in life. Thank you. I was in highschool when this song came out. What memories!!
You are exactly right. I would not trade my teenage years for all of the riches in the world. Great Song !😊
Thanks! I was already a 4 year college graduate when this song came out.
Hey we arent old we are seasoned and taught great 🎶 and good ole bands!!!
Certainly! Well said!
Very tight guys! Harmony is spot on. Hard to tell it from the original.
Thanks. We've been playing this one since the original first came out.
When you have music in your blood, it never dies and these guys just proved it.
I agree. Thanks for watching!
A great vocalist is more than a great singer but is a great storyteller. This gentleman is both.
Thanks! He's a good drummer as well.
Thank you!
Love it!!
nice to see and hear seniors having fun and still makin music
