That's a funk number alright!

Your (no really anymore that) 'new' singer has come along nicely btw.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Herr Entwistle playing what is substantially (still) a Rev TBird,




but with changes to the body that would even make Scott's eyes bleed:




Look here under "Axe Bass" for details:

Don't try this at home, please.

There was a Jazz Bass based axe bass before this one too. https://www.thewho.net/whotabs/gear/bass/bass6768.html

My Orville Thunderbird and I.

 

Looks like a good gig Mark! My new wave cover band did that tune at probably every show back in the early 2000s. We had a synth bass track running below the surface. Always got people moving.

Thanks Tom! That was our first time at this venue, a nice large casino north of Seattle, we had a pretty good turnout, it's hard to tell but the room was quite big. 

Our first time playing this song out live, our new guitarist hits it really well, our singer clams it twice by coming in at the wrong time.

The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Some of it, but by no means all, always worth a revisit.

I know that feeling! There used to be a place here in the Chicago 'burbs called Cubby Bear North that was like a freakin barn. You could put 200 people in there and it looked like a ghost town!

Once you peel away all the unfortunate trappings of the 1980s from this song, it ends up being a pretty good rocker



And a bicentennial back in the glory days
Half-speed Hawkwind

Jimmie Randall on bass, shortly after Mark Andes left.


Alanko

Slightly odd song, with one-line verses and no real chorus!

They were Americans, Alan.

Oh right! Is this song in the Great American Songbook?
