I was 15/16 when this came out and it was one of the biggest influences on me to want to play guitar (along with Queen and Kiss)

This clip shows the band at the height of their powers
What a great solo this song has - starts at about 4.00 minutes and goes on for over two minutes
Watching this clip can still give me the goosebumps i had when i first saw him play this in 1982.

Hope you enjoy it too.

Check out the proper dry ice on the stage too
So much better than the modern smoke machine variety - actually hugs the stage rather than being a cloud of smoke - a bit chilly though - liquid CO2

What a Legend :twisted: I didn't know Cozy Powell was the drummer for MSG

F*ck yeah!!! :twisted:

That first MSG album was the one that made me want to take up guitar. Shame I never really progressed very far...

Oh god, I'm going to be on YouTube all night now! :lol:

There are some AWESOME clips from a UFO show in 1975 - they all have platform shoes and look like they haven't eaten for months (even Andy "No Neck" Parker):
