That's a funk number alright!

Your (no really anymore that) 'new' singer has come along nicely btw.

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.

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

No idea if we've had these before but... been a while since I've posted video links and can't seem to get these right...

You need to delete the ampersand and everything to the right of it. If you try to post anything that's part of a playlist, the video won't appear. Only post the basic video link.

In this case, the poster makes you watch on YT anyway.

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

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

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