Shooting Star "You've Got What I Need" Music Video

[wheatfields1970]

The song is straight ahead rock but IMO can be considered power pop. A fine example of the genre.

[pancaikmix45]

Growin' up in Cinci' OH Love this I can't belive they never made it big DAMN YOU 1990's!!!!!

[airllusion]

TOTALLY UNDERRATED! I grew up in Topeka and Kansas City radio played them like a "real" band! AWESOME!

[genxxxersize]

JUST AN AWESOME TUNE FROM A VERY UNDERRATED BAND , I LOVE IT! ;o)

[jafl1971]

What a great band. Great musicians all of them. But too bad that they never been so famous. 

[JimHadar1]

The central Midwest has produced some awesome bands that sadly have been crapped on by the East coast and West coast music bigwigs. Bands like Shooting Star, Missouri, Head East, The Rainmakers. Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Luckily "the man" wasn't able to keep down Kansas, REO Speedwagon or Styx!

[printerdonls328]

@JimHadar1  you got that exactly right Jim, lived here in Missouri all my life, grew up listening to all those bands, and you couldn't have said it any better. I went to Missouri Institute of Technology (the OTHER MIT !) for about a year from '81 to '82 and the lead singer from the band Missouri was in my classes!

Shooting Star was a great hit in PR! HS years late 70's early 80's.

[ROBERTVANJOVI]

grandes entre grandes!!

[feratu22]

BWS!

[mindytinkerberg]

Man, I thought this was 'I'll Fall in Love Again" at first.

[dltacy]

I love Sammy Hagar He is my favorite rock star! The drum intro on this is exactly the same as "I'll fall in love again" Anyone catch that?

[macmcc030261]

first song I ever heard by them, ran out and bout the cassette as soon as I heard it on the radio, AOR Radio was so good back then, this band rocks!

[deadendkid1968]

My older sister dated Gary West for a little while in the 70s...back when they were more of a regional thing

[webbySpider13]

remind me alot of the Babys

[badandy2x]

hey you got some good weed

[fivepiece]

These guys were WAY underrated. Awesome band.

[ThePaulyChannel]

Soooo many great songs. I saw you guys in the round at the Westport Playhouse, St. Louis, Mo in the early 80s. First row. Awesome and perfect live. Last Chance is inspiring and Hollywood still brings tears to my eyes.. and goosebumps!

[sophiegromit]

'Flesh And Blood', 'Hollywood', and 'Breakout'.... BEST SONGS BY S.S.!!!

[rickycg123]

[dcdorsey08]

cheesy as hell

[btbb10]

Obviously, this is before YOUR time! This is great music

[RocketsToTheMoons]

You are cheesy as hell.

[ESW367]

Van McLain is such an underrated guitarist. That first Shooting Star album is still one of my favorites. Absolutely brilliant.

[slohnd42]

Saw them at the Missouri Theater in Saint Joseph,Mo. back in 1981 I think? awsome band! I think my favorite song was "Last Chance" that song just said it all!

My brother met Gary while we were living in Lee's Summit Mo back in 1974 and ya just knew he was the shit then!

Peace,Wild Bill

[z1inspector]

[1higherground]

Back again watching you guys...Seems like yesterday. I really miss O.Park, K.C. and those days. I was so looking forward to talking to Bill after all these years. Bill had that sweet white Corvette Stingray. What a great sense of humor, and just an all around great guy and talented musician. .....RIP my friend. I know if they have a band there, you're playin like never before. Shooting Star......good as any of the top bands then AND NOW. ROCK ON!

Spread the peace..it's starts with each of us.

[z1inspector]

either way

PEACE ,Bill

[1higherground]

Yeah...an original member and great guy

[hardxwax]

Ahha, that was great! :D You've seriously put one of the biggest smiles on my face this morning.

Unleash the keyboard solo!

[dmnewton]

Shooting Star takes me back, man. Has anyone seen any videos for "Flesh And Blood" or, (my favorite,) "Hollywood"?

[dirklloyd]

Go YellowJackets!

[tippiejax]

thanks for posting this...it really brings back memories, and really dates me too! Regardless, I love all of these early videos and rock pop obscures. This one reminds me a little of Michael Stanley Band's pop hit around the same time or a couple of years later...on the tip of my tongue.

[aobserver]

he can't love you like i love you?

[tippiejax]

Exactly...thanks!

Shooting Star went on to have some minor hits later in the 1980s but never really hit that "strata" of success that other comparable bands like Journey and Styx did.

[drewdropin]

it's too bad too because, "last chance" is one of the greatest songs of all time. Their talent was comparable to Kansas, and to Rush to some extent

[ray6200]

I saw SS play in a small nightclub in San Francisco- I think it was Bill Graham's club- called Wolfgang's. This was in November, 1981,around the time that the song, "Last Chance" had hit the charts (about a year and a half after the LP it appear on was released) and the event had been sold out for weeks. The band's music was receiving a ton of airplay on the radio out here for that song, as well as several songs off of their second LP, the mid-1981 release, "Hang On For Your Life."

[kdrew]

Saw them in July 83 at Wolfgangs. Reason I know is that I have pictures from that show. AWESOME! Wolgangs and the Old Waldorf were great clubs and KSAN used to do live radio broadcasts as well. Love my old live SS tapes now on CD!

[bob12561]

All of Shooting Star's albums are available on CD. Check out the website: ShootingStarManiacs

[KurtmanJP]

[winebrenner1968]

[TravelingWheatheads]

Long Live the King!!! We miss you Bill. Thanks to the band for all these years, nobody Rocks like Van and the boys!
