I always loved AWB, it's good to see Hamish Stewart sharing his talents with the younger generation. Hamish - would have loved to have seen you rocking your kilt!

Great version. I like the bass change up.

This song takes me back oooohhh.... so many years! It still makes my body move like those times... The lads are GREAT!! All of them, but I've noticed in particular the bass guitar player: she's done beautifully!!!

A great performance - well done everyone

[wayneblanchard]

Great playing from everyone. The bass moving around is a welcome - and tastefully done - change. But wow, that sax solo! 'Snake' Davis is no strange on the scene and this is a great reason why. Wow, wow, wow...

[cjfin]

Wow that was so much fun to watch! Really diggin' that bass player!

[lyndamcardle]

That's a fabulous rhythm section !

[richardhepburn]

This has made my day !!!! Fabulous playing from the ACM band - well studied . The Bass was exceptional xxx I saw the AWB at a small provincial venue just after they broke through - they probably didn’t have to play the gig - but they did and gave it all . A massive inspiration to many 👏👏👏👏👏

I saw AWB in the Greyhound Fulham Palace Rd in spring 73...free
