I overlooked that band for way too long. Not sure why. KILLER rock n roll band. Great songs, great chops, great look. Check out their cover of Willie Nelson's "Night Life". Forget the name of the dude on lead guitar, I don't think it's Gorham on this one, but whoever it be you can tell he paid his dues in the blues department and I am pretty critical about that sort of thing.

That might be Eric Bell. Not sure when he left the band…

..not to derail into a Lizzy love fest but this was always one of my favorite album cuts

I remember growing up every bar band seemed like they could do a pretty good version of this tune. I haven't heard anyone play this one, "Radar Love", or "Wonderful Tonight" by Clapton since the 90's.

My band did a pretty ripping version of Radar Love until the drummer and I both left (different reasons, but good timing) last year

Awesome. That's such a great song. My guitar instructor from way back had a band that played everything, rock, country, and blues, hundreds of tunes, and they smoked that tune. If I had a classic rock band I would win over some crowds by pulling that forgotten golden oldie out. It's a damn shame it isn't covered much anymore but it's a demanding tune that isn't for shitty amateur hour bands. You must've had a killer group and you gotta have guys that can do the harmony vocals to really ace it. Another classic rock fave that most bands ain't got the talent to pull off:

I assume you know this is a Leadbelly tune right ?
