Saw them open for Seger and then Petty around the mid-80s. Did a great cover of Chuck Berry's School Days with either Dan or Rick really trilling the 'r' on "Drrrrrrrrrop the coin right into the slot .." And all their great original material live.
Next time I saw them it was 89 or 90 just before Dan left the band and they were touring for "Salvation and Sin." You could tell they were burning out .. but the album itself is really good. Like G 'n' R, The Band, Rod Stewart rolled in one.
Quite possibly their best song. The video is kind of silly and does not really fit the mood of the song. I saw the Satellites in St. louis early in their career on a rotating stage , no less! One of the best shows I have seen.
@sladerecords - You obviously aren't familiar with their HUGE catalog of origianl music. They have a ton of great songs- some much better than this, though "Myth of love" is still a great song as well.
I got a live version of this on a 4-track record that came free with a magazine. The others on the disc was Crazyhead, Jack Rubies & Pop Will Eat Itself.
I would think its the same reason a lot of great bands don't get recognized- Because some record company banned them, or they banned the record company.
Truly one of my all-time favorite albums. All ten songs are complete rockers. A funny story: I put on the disc a lot for friends skipping over "Keep Your Hands...," and they're all like, "Wow, who is this? This is great."
they were no doubt thats this band was great in the day

Great Band! It's too bad they never rose to the level of fame as(fellow Georgians) the Black Crowes.

I got a different live version of this one. Might be rare, I dunno. It was one song from a 4-track E.P that came free with a rock mag years ago.

Man Danny Baird rocks your socks off haha. Satellites and black crowes are the best rock bands after 70's. End of discussion :).

Why wasn't this band bigger? They're just as good as The Black Crowes and Guns 'N' Roses.

Fantastic song. You can't go wrong with the Georgia Satellites. One of best real true rock n' roll bands ever.
