From the music you wouldn't know this is a cover. Great job! Now, I wonder if there is any live video of "Chase" anywhere. Another great group of the era.
@gremmann Thanks! - Bill Chase and the band were awesome! There's some great live footage of Chase on YT. Just search for "Chase - Get It On (Live February 28, 1974)"
..you've got a point. We were trying to attract more viewers and may have mislead with the title. No offense intended, hope you enjoyed our cover of this great song.
@3Rubee - your comment has nothing to do with what I said. Honesty is the best policy. If people want to hear a cover, let them choose, don't bullshit them into clicking the link.
Very cool. I saw Lighthouse in and around Toronto a good dozen times or so from 1969 to 1974. I'm generally not a fan of wannabe covers but this is outstanding and they not only do justice and respect to the original they add their own licks, showcase their talent, have fun and get in the groove. Well done!
@philgexile That is awesome. Tell Hoffert to dig up some footage of the boys when McBride was still in the band that would be incredible to see. Gonna try to them in late November.
what a cool cover of one of my favorite songs. solos and leads are tight as hell. brass and keys are just right.big ups to the bass player singing backups,great job!
Thanks! I enjoyed this! I saw Lighthouse live in concert in a hockey rink in Tisdale, Saskatchewan back in the early 70's. The ticket was $4.00. They played for 2 hours..had the whole brass section with them and all! I'll remember it my whole life.
A great version of one of their best tracks. Would have loved to have seen them live in concert in their heyday. I lived and dreamed Lighthouse - still do.Isn't there any live footage, other than "Take It Slow", with Bob McBride, available somewhere? Just gotta see that before I go to the happy hunting grounds!
What I like about these guys, aside from the great song choice, is that they are not in their 20s. Refuse to wear a tie and punch a time clock, no matter what!
Excellent cover of a fantastic track - well done!!

I would be more honest to place the word "cover" in the title, but no, just drag people here on false pretenses, it's easier.
