I loved seeing this band in the early 70's at the Red Lion and other venues in Champaign, IL

[tonydowning]

their performances in the '70s were so much better than after they became commercialized in the 80s 90s and so on. I love them I've seen them many times in concert in the 70s this song should be the American national anthem.

4 years ago today, the world lost a great guitar player Mr. Gary Richrath 🎸🎸🎸🙏

[Skynyrdforever]

Gary Richrath was one of the best guitarists I ever had the privilege of seeing live and having him sweat down on us from the stage. A special talent that is truly missed.

Nice solo by Dave, and nice to see him playing a Les Paul.

RIP Gary. You were the best.

[josieowl]

Gary was awesome man My Angel I'll never forget you

[Lowfay-je]

I happen to agree that most of the seventies song where some of the best songs but so was few of the songs that came out in the eighties

[summerrose]

Gary wrote this song, one of many other hits !! I sure miss him :(

[leslieschrager]

He left some very big shoes to fill.

It's nice to see someone try!

[fuzzybutkus]

Wow, Cronins stock raised a bit after that nice intro.

[jeffbauer]

[badbob]

Dave is good but Gary was great!! RIP Gary. U are missed.

[NoneNone-pbvh]

Its hard to do someone else's lead...gary was badass

[rogerhamer]

Good tune but about a third of the actual tempo of the original

[goldenhealer]

P.S. Back then beer was 35 cents a glass and a pitcher was $1.50 LOL

[danhambrick]

Dave Amato is good but not as good as Gary Richrath
