For the age of this clip and considering it's live, the quality of the sound and mix is freakin' amazing! I hope Sammy and Neal continue to rock us for many more years.

[@thomassunkel9229]

Not „considering“. Back then they knew how to play ❤

[@zwastiunburzy3688]

@@thomassunkel9229 I was only talking about the quality of the mix. Their ability and musicianship is without question. I really don't understand how you thought that I was insulting their chops. Of course these guys could play! They still outplay guys less than half their age today.
We didn't have one too many 'shrooms today, huh? Read what I wrote again. Sober, this time.

[@J.Knox46]

Well at this point in Sammys career he had been in Montrose, a solo artist and this side project when Journey had the singer quit. He had been a performer for almost 20 years... Lmao. I'm sure this scenario had happened many times..

[@TheMaleZebra]

Seems like I saw that someone jumped on stage at a Motley concert and Nikki stopped pretending to play bass and ran off freaked out. Lol

Sammy's voice, Neil's guitar, Bach's music - What can be better!

[@davidsorcher5072]

Really man? I mean, we all know the this classic Procol Harum song was heavily Bach influenced, but you can't credit the band that wrote the song? LOL!

[@davidsorcher5072]

@@GeorgeTel100 LOL! that's pretty funny. First of all, this is not a direct rip of Bach. More inspired by. Secondly, you can't be called out for stealing when you have openly admitted all along what your inspirations were. Gary Booker has always been very clear about that.
"If you trace the chordal element, it does a bar or two of Bach's 'Air on a G String' before it veers off. That spark was all it took. I wasn't consciously combining rock with classical, it's just that Bach's music was in me."
Here is the Bach piece that is generally cited as the inspiration for the song. ruclips.net/video/GMkmQlfOJDk/видео.html

Just seeing this now,...I picked up this LP album at a record show about 20 years ago,....for 5 bucks....got it home flipped it over, Sammy and the band signed their name by engraving the flip side and dated it 1984...my HS grad year....Don't think the guy I bought it from , knew what he had. Had to be a promo given to the radio stations here in Detroit. Scared to play it...don't wanna scratch it

Best rendition ever of the classic Procol Harum tune❤❤❤❤

[@laardillanerviosa]

This is amazing. Sammy, when he is on, is the man. Love the original but Sammy and Neil just took this and made it theirs. This is one of those classic moments you only get so many of in music (or anything, for that matter). A HSAS reunion would be fun. Maybe with Michael Anthony?

"I Never, Ever Get Tired of Hearing This Song!!!". What a fantastic compilation, and understandable. I totally Enjoy this Entire Album. Thanks for this. HSAS Rocks!!

[@USAMehdi]

Many musicians believe that this is a Perfect song ever! I guess because it's originally by J.S Bach. I know it was made to this song by Procol Harum (Fisher/Brooker) in 1967
But Neal, Sammy, Kenny n Mike make it even better in here.
And I bet if Bach heard Neal's guitar today, he'd love it.

Souvenir de la fin ds années "60"..... Que de "slows" dansés sur ce morceau....et de "coeurs" envoûtés.....

[@decristo1021]

I just bought this cd for five bucks. I loved this tune when it came out when I was in 6th grade. Listening to the whole album Schon wanted to flippin' rock out and he tempered that impulse to forge Journey into the polished, stylized hitmaking machine it was. I love Journey, don't get me wrong. But I think Schon had a Page or a Blackmore inside him and that if this album had broken big, we would never have heard Raised on Radio. He would have been competing with Whitesnake and Def Lep.
