when i heard this on top gear, i knew it ment something. (and this is, in my opinion, the ultamite road trip song. i mean like, i can imagine driving from cali to where i live now listining to this song the whole way. thumbs up if you agree.
amazing song. we did a live tribute a while ago. as tradition of abb live performances throughout these years impose, we changed it a lot and played as we felt it... except the main theme, of course :)
finally i found this song! every thime i hear this or fool in the rain by zepplin i think of the other and when i hear either this or the zepplin song or the joker by steve miller i get a craving for mexican food for some reason....
@TheRageGuys what you talking about? This was written by the famous songwriting trio, Clarkson/May/Hammond, specifically for Top Gear. I thought everyone knows that :-P
@pallavmishra The one playing the solo on this was the legendary Dickie Betts. Dickie also wrote this song. Originally, this song was meant to have 2 guitar solos. One for Dickie and one for Duane. Duane died before this was recorded and so, the first solo (meant for Duane) was made into a piano solo. Both Dickie and Duane were amazing in their own right. They were THE Dynamic Duo.
"Two Guns-Balls Out" was another talented band in the 70's that was signed to Capricorn Records. Check out their music on youtube it is a sound of its own and considered a southern rock n roll classic!!!
Does a banana realy need to have peel? 'cause I slip with my new Ferrari F430 Scuderia over a banana peel. And James is doing some unusual things with a wheelchair in the savannah of Bangladesh. And Richard is just wearing his pajamas.
I agree the show is going downhill. it got too popular so now its getting too scripted and the challenges are just stupid. And ive always wished they just put the original song as the tune.
I thank the Allmon Brothers for introducing me to the awesomeness that is Top Gear. I was never intrested in cars until I herd this song come on BBCA and thought to myself anything with Jessica as a theme song has to be good. Now ive seen every Top Gear episode at least once and Im a petrolhead for life (alas :( I have never owned an Alfa...)
@redsoxfan1324 I came to it the other way around. I was interested in anyhting on wheels when I was at school, so I watched William Woolard & co on Top Gear, and I loved the theme tune. It was quite a long time later I discovered it wasn't written for Top Gear and was a lot longer than the theme tune. I've now found a web radio station that plays it. But I don't watch Top Gear any more. I can't stand what they've done to the show in recent years and hate way they've murdered the theme tune.
@marklandynut They didn't murder it. When new top gear came out, the publishing company copyrighted it so Top Gear intro had to modify it. Come on, tomorrow is Top Gear Christmas Special. Just watch it. Top Gear actually was transformed from and educational show to a hilarious show.
So Dickey Betts wrote "Jessica" because apparently he and his wife had a daughter by the same name--they musta been ecstatic over her and by now she's gotta be in her late 30's?! But the song is ageless and decades later people are still naming their daughters after it--my bro and his wife did :D Happy, happy tune--it's never failed to pick me up!
I remember feeling pretty proud when my dad was listening to this in the car one day and yelling over top of the music, "This is what you're named after!" This reminds me of him and that car trip everytime :)
too bad its all cash money grillz n bitches..lol...rap sux..old school hip hop is bad ass n so is this shit...get away from ur techno device n do sumthin. oh i feel old lol
Dickey just giving it ALL he's got on this one. That solo is just one of the best ever. I remember how fascinating this song was to me as young kid in the early '80s. I can never get enough of it!
i have a cousin jessica!!! this song reminds me of being drunk and stoned in high school!!!!allman brothers concerts at the tweeter center; partying in the parking lot and on the lawn!!!
just shut the fuck-up! fuckers!!! Can you guys play music??? up-load your own music & let's see how it sounds!!! ass-holes... you guys love to make & give comments to any professional musicians any time you want!!! as if you know how to play musuc!!! In reality you don't know nothing just scratch your freakin' big round nuts & fuck!! your fucking old shit lady the whole night !!!! Just shut the HELL - up! REDNECKS!!!
I saw the Grateful Dead with the Allman Brothers June 10, 1973 at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. I was a 19 year old college student. This is the only song I remember from that day. I remember the song ringing in my ears in the cavernous stadium. Wonderful!!!
I have to nominate this as one of the top three rock instrumentals of 'em all, along with Stevie Ray Vaughn's cover of " Little Wing " and Eric Johnson's " Cliffs of Dover."
It's funny, I was born almost 20 years after this came out but I have nostalgia for it. Makes me think of the last day of school my Junior year, driving around with my best friends. :)
Thanks to my local classic rock station for playing this. Even though i listen to tons of older music, the radio still opens doors to songs i don't know. Long live radio.
My Mom use to whistle this song to get me to walk when I was a baby. Rocker born and raised and no I knew how awesome this song was before Top Gear used it.
The other day I was talking to one of my friends about this song and when he said "Jessica is on Guitar Hero", which I had hadn't heard of at the time, I proudly exclaimed: "No dumbass, it's on "Brothers and Sister's". Poor uninformed me...
@tonymetgnr Some say he is illegal 9 countries and 32 states in the usa including Hawaii, Some say, His earwax tastes like turkish delight all we know is they call him the STIG!
@ROFLFOSHO Some say that on really warm days he sheds his skin like a snake, and that for some reason he’s allergic to the Dutch... all we know is he's called The Stig
