As an 80’s kid, I was more into Billy Idol, Devo, Madonna, & all the big hair bands. But as a mature woman of 2024, I can now fully appreciate gems such as this! It’s truly an outstanding song!

[DavidSmith-dvyf]

The two ladies doing backup vocals could go on tour themselves. What a in the 60's with White Room, 70's with Layla, and 80's with She's Waiting. All three songs were memorable for me at different stages of my life.

[peanutavalon]

The 1980s were so great for guitar players Clapton, Robert Cray, Mark Knopfler etc. Great times. I saw Clapton on the journey man tour and he played this song.

RIP Jamie Oldaker - 07-16-2020 - You were awesome sir and the pride of Tulsa!

[joemauer]

Amazing. Still here, turn the volume all the way up, never gets old.

[prathameshbhambure]

That second solo is the cleanest and here's why: The way he mixed the A major & minor pentatonic scales is almost inseparable. You can't tell the difference between the two like that! Just insane!
