Very impressive....

[ProperGroupie]

For unusual and rare Starz collectibles, check out StarzStuff . . . a joint charity venture from guitarist Brendan Harkin and the family of Piet Sweval. A new LIVE cd, ringtones, one of a kind items. Google it. YouTube won't let me post a URL . . .

[riverheads]

Seen em open for Derringer and Aerosmith in 1976. They rock!

[ynotitaly]

George kicks ass

[bladdes210]

dam i miss this song...thanks for posting WOW

[CaptnDirt]

Best intro to a song ever. I wish they would done it from the very beginning though. You Starz fans know what I mean. If you haven't heard the intro from the album then your missing out.

[SolarTiger]

I think he tried, but the feedback (or whatever) wasn't working...

[KickAstronaut]

Now if they can just get Rex off Broadway, get his band back together, and tour together..........

[santyrush]

I love all Canada Music, Rush,triumph,Saga,max webster,Starz,etc....and I `m a Starz fan since 1980's....early... this is great band

can any put the song Take me ????

[ProperGroupie]

Starz is an American band, not Canadian. But you can find two versions of TAKE ME - one from 1980 and one from 2005. Just search "Starz Take Me". Thanks for watching!

[rizzlaxl]

dont forget anvil and razor

[sdgullsfan]

GREAT Posting! GREAT song!  I'LL Always Remember This Classic!!!!

[aalsatx]

I saw Starz in 1977, they opened for REO that night, and get this the opening band for the night was Judist Priest, where is the justice????

[Lorrielovessunshine]

Love this ..... Feel fortunate to remember when this came out.. Some old friends turned me on to it and it still sounds great

[Karen9084]

Richie...you are a pip and a half...can't wait to see u guys soon! lol

Rock On...hey Dube

[lespaulstandar]

Good to see this. I loved that band way back when ... can't even recognize Michael Smith ha ha ... is there a version of Detroit Girls anywhere? Would love to see them doing that now .... rock on

[ProperGroupie]

Michael Lee is still his old cheeky, charismatic self . . guess I don't have Detroit Girls up yet . . . sorry!

[MrHappyPants6000]

I am so proud to say this song is STILL in regular rotation on the radio here in San Antonio. I love this song.

[mytvsettowatch]

Wow, I heard the band yeeeeears ago, and I still remember it's high quality... And here I am searching for the band in youtube... And Here!!! a 2007 gig... incredible!, Congratulations!, Great Band!

[vundermule]

[9x23win]

[karebear930]

[ynotitaly]

Thanks to George and my bro i grew up listening to this great stuff. I loved this band.

To my friends George V. and Joel - keep on rocking!

Tony

[untouchablenes]

OMG!

I wore out this 8 track, bought another. In the early 80's, I had a local record store special order this on vinyl. Heck, I'd probably buy the CD now......

Shocked to see this dated 2007, but then again, the Guess Who is playing in town tonight.

Almost 50, too. :)

[ProperGroupie]

Amazon has the CDs, or you can download individual tracks of some albums on iTunes and CDBaby. The band manages to play once a year or so and still sound great!

[Edje001]

Fantastic!

I'm almost 50 now but can't forget the Violation album. It still rocks!

Greetzz from Holland-Europe!!!

[SolarTiger]

Discovered these guys in 1976 in Mi.Armed with their first 2 albums(Starz/Violation)I joined the Navy and headed south to Mayport,Fl.My shipmates loved the albums so when Coliseum Rock came out,of course,I bought it.A guy from Philly told my later that the title song was the greatest rock song he ever heard.I love being the Typhoid Mary of straightup RnR.You just wonder how other bands w/less chops,got so big,when our beloved Starz were forgotten.I'll be that 50 yr old dude w/a Starz shirt on

[uriahsteel]

Starz and Angel!!! brings me back to my high school days in the 70's. I actually saw them on the same show at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. Great bands!!

[imthedorf1964]

How many original members are still in the band?  Didn't one of them die a few years back?

[ProperGroupie]

The original members in this video are Richie Ranno (guitar), Michael Lee Smith (vocals), and Joe X. Dube (drums). Bobby Messano (guitar closest to the camera) is quasi-original as he played on Coliseum Rock (the 4th album). Brendan Harkin (who played on the first 3 albums) did play some reunion gigs in 2003, 2004, and 2005. Pieter Sweval (bass) passed away in 1990 and George DiAna now plays bass for the band.

[irishpatrick12]

Coliseum ROCK! I lost my CD years ago, thought I would never hear this tune again. Im happy again!

[mtst6]

Quite possibly the most underrated rock band in history One of the great guitar openings of all time and great vocal sound.

[synysterscattered]

I have their dvd called LIVE AT JAXX recorded on June 6, 2003 in Springfield,VA. That movie takes me back to when I saw them here in San Antonio. STILL one of the greatest bands ever along with MOXY and LEGS DIAMOND. Anybody remember those bands too?

[muttstrat80]

[sophiegromit]

Wow! What a FIND!  I grew up with Richie Ranno in Jersey! Can't believe they're still together and rocking... fucking AWESOME!!!

[Pellet99]

Ok PG, thanks for posting my first Youtube debut. Yes, that is me in the baseball hat about six minutes into the song...standing right up front where true rock fans should be...and deaf later on. Great f'in show. Took me back to 1976 and stealing my older brother's albums. Keep the Detroit show videos coming.

[Bmwtime7012]

Thanks PG, the memories are flooding back already. Seeing the video reminds me why I will be a Starz fan till I die. One of America's finest.
