Great song. It was a hint of the '80s sound to come before the self-titled album was released.

They could've done well rerecording/re-releasing that one as a single in the late '80s/early '90s.

Re: Say what you will about Vandenberg...

When you go to a show like this, do you feel like you're watching Vandenberg? Or do you feel like you're watching a really good bar band with Adrian Vandenberg sitting in?

I'm wondering if every power pop/punk song sounds like this, but with different lyrics.

Forget new material. Ace only functions on muscle memory with the old stuff. I think he might've played the solo for "Strutter" there.

I like this one a lot. I'd like it even more if the production didn't feel buried underneath a pile of clothes.

And the drummer needs to ease up on the bass pedal. That shit's for high school.

Around this period (1975), Led Zeppelin had a fixed top ticket price of $8.50.

Re: How are Steelheart these days?

Might have to give them a listen. Even back in 1990, I thought their big power ballad was a list of lyrical cliches - almost a parody.

Just looked up the stats. The album went Gold and the single hit #23. I just recall thinking, "Why is MTV playing this video so much?"
