i was born in the wrong era for music :(

[TheCapitanSantos]

Don't you worry brother and keep rocking. I'm well over 30 and still have the same comments from my friend...I was too born in the wrong era...

There is a excellent radio that I listen here in U.K, I don't know where you are but you can listen on the net. The name is Planet Rock - check it out and you will discover many good old classic rock.....Cheers!

[68generation]

These guys are truly amazing! This song is a great piece of fantastic rock!!!!

[acebentley7]

Saw them at The Roundhouse Chalk Farm, same night as the Pretty Things, way back when...........great memories

[lrdisco4x4]

Brill...................

[Speranza2221]

I've LOVED this song since its creation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!! Go man go!!!! The days when artists knew their musical instruments, not like the paper ones today that mime to everything. You tube me too: fige ela/violetta

[sail1948]

@wayzey No I dont take Benzo's and yes over use of acid does leave you in zombie like state. Your reaction to my comment suggests you're the one with a Benzo problem. Guilt and despair maybe?

[TheSunbau]

I really like this banging excellent band.

Four years earlier made​a Swedish band a recording which I also think is something beyond the ordinary. Listen to "Beautiful Delilah" and "skinnie Minnie" with THE ZETTLERS.

Very good considering the recording was made nearly 50 years ago.

[Deadmaker7]

Was this the original version of the song?

[VinceMincemeat]

chugging like a STEAM engine,with a HAMMER impact...love it.

[ljwjfac110369]

bangin tune



[sail1948]

The bass player lives in Worthing, wanders round like a zombie, looks like an acid casuality.

[charlyW34]

Continues the legacy of the Dave Edmunds Love Sculpture albums in stunning fashion. One of the last great albums of it's type before the UK scene went weird, and the American scene went soft. Wonderful production too. Cheers

[theezzyjet]

whats the history of this song? is it by the Steam or Quo, or just an old blues song?

[Dryden123]

@theezzyjet It's by Steamhammer

[Vox572X]

very good song bro!

[mrallcz]

Chilling boogie.

[Katiehelen2]

Excellent , We miss you Kieran.

[1248fixx]

Until a few months ago i'd only ever heard Quo's version of this, and although a life-long Quo fan, i much prefer Steamhammer's....

[Spiregrain]

Wail on!!! ..yet another talented band I should have listened to in the 70's...will the discoveries never end? Hope not. Love this stuff!

[MrGeorgiebest7]

Tra i miei preferiti....Che Periodo....Sic, Sic, Sic....

[Ixtulu]

I was a young teenager, as I heared this LP in the early 70ies. Steamhammer was a great band - I think, the last time I heared this album anytime in the mid 70ies I think. This was the typical sound of this time. Sitting on the floor, smoking some pot, hanging around, smiling and eating..........many young people did the same in the early 70ies (I growed up in Austria - 75 I was travelling around Europe, India and to the US) everywhere I met the same kind of young longhaired people.

[daven58100]

Excellent! Never heard of these guys before today. Remind me of Savoy Brown

[progjazzfusion]

great stuff. very similar to early savoy brown.

[genxxxersize]

kewl tune! :o)

[oliguzzi]

I saw them live in these days.....it was just magic and still is! They did so fantastic songs, it is so sad they only existed a few years, you can listen again and again and again....

[Bananiolo]

Pretty cool! :P

[quofan73]

This is still played in th Status Quo live set. Great song.

[manoftheworld1000]

@quofan73 Maybe but i'm afraid they are no match to Steamhammer ...

[careyfortune]

great blues,thats what i remember them by,and the drummer had 2 bassdrums!

[lastsinger]

They were not a real great band but this song will stay !

[TheNasty52]

@lastsinger steamhammer were an excellent band you evidently didn't see them live

[kynyrdskynyrd]

That is a killer recording

[mrallcz]

Fantastic.

[fendermac]

First band I ever saw turn up at a pub gig with a big Mercedes van with all the gear in.Super impressive.Lol

[bigalvonO]

geiler song könnt ich dauernd hören

[burns1961]

Oh how i wish we could get back to this real music fantastic.This is talent not what you see on them RUBBISH tv shows of today.

[DerMitlogger]

go to concerts, the feeling lives!

not in tv shows...

[sacredcow024]

@burns1961

What TV show was this on?

[volker1954]

i used to go to their concerts, which was usually in small venues or open air. they never made it big internationally. which is a pity. i think they deserved it. other groups who playd on these more local events/festivals were amon duul and guru guru. i think there was also kraftwerk. but it's been a long time. these small concerts were sometimes better then huge ones. less confusion. more manageable.

[xinijxt]

This was the great band. Part of their greatness comes from the fact that they are relatively unknown. No irony intended.

[Rhinedragon]

Hier haben ZZ-Top die Riff´s her........ :-))

[totalforgiveness]

I was fifteen just left school, 50 pence to get in Plymouth Guildhall .. Awesome will never forget it, Duster Bennett was support, Lord Please take me back x

[TheSoulSailor]

NON PLUS ULTRA

[pump35]

I can see why Alan Lancaster sung vocals on Quo's version!

[psychkoala]

Cool vibe... this is the kind of stuff I crave.

The guitar player wails.

[65DDTG]

Epic

[satanel77]

Rinding on the L&N

Hold that train

and this one - G R E A T ! ! !

Steamhammer ist eine der ganz großen Bands der 60er / 70er. Leider nicht so bekannt geworden, wie sie's verdient hätten.

[Abc78mj]

My favourite Steamhammer-Song is "Hold that train", but this is fantastic too.

[carlosdeno]

I`m 45 and this is the first time I have heard this song, I`m so sorry steamhammer...fantastic tune...! I`m on the ebay for their cd`s thanks for this buddy...

[jjwesley2525]

havent you heard status quos version of it from the album 'ma kellys greasy spoon' 1970? thats pretty good too. check it out!

[mokogintaz]

Everyday I have this song !

[richardpeej]

Rock 0n Steamhammr!

[cassiosconyc]

ROCK N ROLL ! ! !

[legbider]

"Riding on the L&N" was my favorite Steamhammer song. I hope somebody posts it. Thank you

[EdTracey347]

That was my favorite, also - and I join you in hoping for a post of it.

[wernersiegle]

Endlich weis ich wieder von wem "Riding... ist.

Danke

[Koesl]
