  • Saw him back up Boston, and Sammy Hagar at Silverdome, Detroit, MI in '78...Eddie was phenom!!!!!!!!

  • BEST SONG EVER!!

  • This is Eddie at his best. The band was electrifying at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas that summer of 1978.

  • That is one coked up rock star.

  • Eddie money was the sexiest man ever!!!! His eyebrows were so thick and full and hair was so fluffy and long you could

  • @mopedman17 I think that's light reflecting off his perspiration. He did break a sweat on that stage. It's deservedly so. He's a hard-working musician.

  • Thank you verysparkly!! so young looking!

  • Man, I just realized that the way that Eddie dressed was way ahead of his time. I mean, you see people dressed like that nowadays... But I've never seen anyone else dressed like that in the '70s. Just an observation....

  • @mrhomerbojangles I thought it was for disagreeing with others and calling people stupid and gay?

  • IS THERE AN OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO ON THIS SONG?

  • Hey MEGABOINK65! This is the clip that was always shown in Australia.. I didn't ever see another one!

  • @MEGABOINK65 I dont; think they had music videos way back in the 70s just live stage versions. I dont think video hit off until the early 80s.

    reagrds

  • Eddie is on something good here! Hey partying with the Money Man! Thanks for the interview Eddie!

    Estupenda cancion!!!!!! simplemente alusinante.

  • One of the more memorable songs from that often trite era.

  • Baby, what's these things

    You've been sayin' about me

    Behind my back

    Is it true you might want a better life

    Is it true you think

    These things are lies, now

    think about it baby

    I'm gonna take you to the top

    I just woke up to the fact that I had the lyrics wrong all these years.

    I thought "is it true you think they things are lies now think about it baby" I thought were "is it true you think they things I LACK" 'cause lack rhymes with (behind my) BACK.

  • Eddie Rocks!!

  • Yes:)

  • Eddie has one of the COOLEST Rock voices EVER!!!

    Eddie YOU R THE MAN

  • Eddie Money......wow, live singing one if his greatest songs in countdown and real good. What is he doing nowadays? When i hear Eddie, then am thinking of The Babys, Gary Wright, Bosz Scaggs etc. Albums of Bands which my oldest brother bought which i really digged. Later i get into blues, jazz, funk and soul but i still love these musicians and bands from way back a lot. Time is flying. Music stays.

  • c la s s i c EDDIE

    love it

  • Just saw him Saturday night and met him before the show. He is one heck of a nice guy and still puts on a heck of a show.

  • I bet this song makes his exgirlfriends kick themselves in the ass :)

  • yeah really, would love to have been one of them

  • Eddie Money was a police officer before he started singing in his own band!

  • Early in his r&r career, Eddie was really something and a pretty amazing singer. Great to see some footage from that time w/ the great Jimmy Lyons on guitar. Thanks for posting this.

  • Those eyes are to die for! :D Thanks for posting this most excellent video!!! Any more hanging around? I just saw him this past July in Santa Cruz and got to meet him which was a dream come true! Too bad I didn't get to meet him 20 years ago though! :D 5 stars is not enough!

  • Hey JMC.. thanks for sharing, appreciate it!! I don't have any more Eddie, wish I did!! :)

  • @verysparkly Man you can never get enough of Eddy Money and thanks for the video. What a great song .. he wrote it too (or at least the lyrics to most of his songs). He's got enough charisma for 10 overrated rock stars of half his talent..

  • @11xzxzxz thank you..  well informed comments like yours are appreciated! :)

  • i agree, i wish i had a time machine to take me to the front row in front of him

  • stallone

  • Hey Phreedmantheweedman, thanks for your comments.. Eddie is super cool in this clip! Glad you enjoyed!

  • Great video! I loved it!

  • Thanks, friend.

  • When was this hit first released? Late 70s or early 80s?

  • Hey diuga1.. this song is from the album 'Eddie Money' released in 1977.. it was a big hit here, in Australia, in 1978. The show I took this from, Countdown, was repeating it in 1982 but that date holds no significance to this song.

  • he has great stage presence and he dosent even have to move

  • GREAT!!

  • thank you dearly...very nice song....my sister liked him well......

  • very cool & chicks dig this song!

  • I just love this song...this bassline...what the hell is going on with the time sig?The bass pulse changes right?

  • Can someone musical please reply to djosephj! :)

  • B/T the chorus and verse yes. in the main parts its like 2 hits, then three hits. (too long to write out breaks and quarters ect.)

    so it sounds weird.

    boon-boon.........bo-bon-boon.

    its a game on rests.

    if that helps?

  • thanks... appreciate your input!

  • Lonnie Turner played the live bass line differently here than on the album. On the studio version Limmy Lyon stayed on the D while the bass played the harmony. In the live version the guitar adds the D sus instead of the bass harmony. I remember seeing them in SF in '79 playing it a bit more like the studio version. Still, a pretty tight rendition, and Jimmy Lyon and Lonnie Turner are gods!

  • Thanks..  appreciate your input!

  • Great raw version. These usually really show the true talent of the singer. GO EDDIE!!!

  • yes

  • I second that!
