[tiluriso]

Who are the hot babes/instrumentalists brunette on congas and redhead on keys? supah musician milfs!

[B2OOKE1]

Love it.

[035Ti]

cool setting, awesome song!

[Wojo8888]

I gotta wonder if Michael has his locks insured.

[cattaraugus41]

Not the best version I have heard, but really cool that Michael is singing, too.

[renee17ipa]

maravilhosa essa musica !! valeu!! ótimos momentos!!!!

[ChazLeeRox]

••ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC•• Real Music with Real Emotion!

[MassimoPiai]

nice ladies

[blueleadguitar]

The guitar solo in this song is fantastic! It says so much more than all the widdly widdly players could ever hope to say. Who cares how fast they can get get from one end of the neck to the other when all it sounds like is an angry bee trapped in a jar! Christopher Cross is such an underrtated guitarist and this song proves how good he really is, excellent stuff!

[MrHilda06]

que padre cancion,,,me gusta mucho!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sonorzepp]

I thought that the original studio version needed a bit more dick. Now, this one's got it. Mr Cross is quite capable on six strings. Nice!

[sfpt67]

Oh man! great song, companion (Sir MM), great journey back in time... tks for sharing.

[MURRA1]

Superb music Timeless !

[IBOUGHTYAMOM]

my ears r broken, 4 years i thought he sings- i laughed than came tears instad of 9 lifes gunned down 10..

[plantium1000]

I have got the chills!!! This is a GREAT SONG!! Great music, great musicians, very exciting to see and hear, I am thinking that this is what you call great musicianship. Thank you Christopher Cross for this song and for your wonderful talent!! Thank you Micheal McDonald for your strong soulful back up vocals.

[Theryougo1]

That's still over 20 years...

[Kwstakis41]

@Theryougo1 the specific live yes but the song at least 30

[tgtatro]

It was recorded in 1998 not 2011

[Theryougo1]

Voice is shot? He originally cut this song almost 30 years ago! Give the guy a break.,.

Great performance!

Bravo!

[jrichman21]

Holy cow, his voice is shot. I dont think he hit one note up high! He is soooo out of tune. You could tell Michael mcDonald is closing his eyes trying to block him out.

[221Jazzy]

Great times!

[mmmeijer01]

This song is soooo fine .I got into it after i heard it on the radio ,Michael Mind remixed it ,also a great song but the original blows it away like it should :D Thanks!

[DD99able]

Pure genius!

[WhisperingButterfly]

I always wondered who sang this song, and I guessed Michael McDonald was the background vocals but i knew it wasn't his song. Now I Know who sings this song glad I found It.

[roguefacter]

Fantastic live!

[gkohlberge]

I remember hearing this recording in the 70's with Michael McDonald. Pure Gold! Great live version, can I "like" 10,000 times? Much thanks, cetera06!

[650monza]

He's on fire!

[Davyboydude]

nice

[equesfuscus]

Had no idea Christopher Cross was so capable on the guitar. I have a new-found respect for his musicianship. Michael MacDonald is, as always, totally reliable as an excellent live performer.

[monica48047]

c'est 1 morceau excellent de christoper cross et tout le groupe

[miltos1993]

i only knew saxon's version..

this is amazing!

[ejslurb2007]

Here's an idea: Couple this song in a medley with America's "Make It To The Border." It'll work incredibly well. Listen to both songs and try it. I think it will sound fantastic!

[ejslurb2007]

Here's an idea: Couple this song in a melody with America's "Make It To The Border." It'll work incredibly well. Listen to both songs and try it. I think it will sound fantastic!

[TheShinobi32]

I wish they would put this and sailing on rock band 3.

[krakatoa1200]

Great performance, great band, and the girls are a bonus

[caracola65]

EXELLENT !! 

[buckystate]

Awesome guitar playing. The solo is really the cherry on top.

[dacuffo]

@buckystate Yeah that solo is bone chilling!!!!!

[dr2378]

[BearsDB23]

[tracylooloo]

Fantastic song!!!

[TzzX78]

great song for the ages..My army life is full of Christopher Cross songs

[jayandtay09]

(micheal mind - ride like the wind) is better

[MsJPBLUE]

Excelente perfomace...!Muito bom o solo de guitarra do Cross.

[ODoc]

I didn't know that Chris is able to play guitar like that...I'm surprised...really...I just came here to watch this, 'cause I saw a DVD playing this song at train station...but I like this song since I was a child...it's amazing...

[mexchapo]

Is the man in the keyboards Michael mcdonald?

[3030indaface]

@mexchapo thats what he said!

[radmac76]

@mexchapo Yes. He actually was the back-up vocal in the original record version. He sang the back-up line "Such a long way to go" in the record (listen carefully). Michael McDonald also contributed some other significant back-up vocal performances for the following songs; "I'll be over you" by ToTo, "I just can't let go" by David Pack/Ambrosia, and several others.

[jimmytwigg]

@mexchapo -- yep, the bit that gives it away is when christopher says at the beginning " please welcome michael mcdonald" ......... :-) lol

[4age20vbt]

3:59 Dam!!!!!!!!!! This guy can really jam!!!!

[parismartinelli2]

...And those were the days,I was 10 ft. tall and bullet proof...no matter what I was ready for the next round... thanks god for the music that reminds me that life was fun and is still fun no matter what. Awesome song by Christopher Cross

[MrVictorhugoj]

tive que assistir o filme day and knight para saber que este track é do Chris Cross

[stormtatrai]

Im only watching this clip because I heard the song on the movie, 'Dicky Roberts Former Child Star'.

Awesome song!!! lol, Im only 17... I feel so young compared to you oldies, haha.

[MrStanlee9]

@stormtatrai

[ustuppy]

Seriously, this song is from the first album which doesn't have one weak song. It is one of the best pop albums ever made in my opinion. No wonder since he was surrounded by some of the best studio musicians at the time.

[MarinO1989XXX]

Does anyone know the Saxon version of this song??? It's amazing

[keepntyme]

@MarinO1989XXX Yes it is great . My first concert many years ago was Fast Way, SAXON, and Iron Maiden. They really inspired me,and just last night I played the same venue I saw them at in a band that opened for Dope. Oh The Power of Music!!!

[OZRIC1985]

This is such a masterpiece of a song that I can never get bored of it. It always reminds me of the summer days in 1979 and early 80s when I was a teenager.

[1PRTYBLK1]

EXCELLENT SONG! it has to be GOOD the GRET Micheal Mac Donald is on there he has the most soulful voice! love them both! so i ride.. like wind... ride like the wind! :)

[bigsam2109]

Michael McDonald takes a chorus or b/g vocal ad lib and turns a song into a HIT! Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, Steely Dan, Darwin Hobbs, etc.

[ellikait]

Who on earth disliked this song!!!

[TheGmgirl77]

@ellikait seriously, what is going on with that? lol

[AnalogX1]

Nice !!

[slqh6]

Chrsto eres el mejor de los mejores

bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

[slqh6]

Chrsto eres el mejor de los mejores

[tacomonster98]

he rocked on that lead solo, I wish he did more up tempo stuff like ths, RLTW is an epic tune!

[botabara80]

Bloody marvellous xx Jo

[benita1155]

THIS IS "THE BEST".....

Make it to the border of MEXICO!!!

[TheFinalTimelord2]

@benita1155 yes take me to the border of mexico- 1980

[benita1155]

@benita1155

It reminds me of being on a Harley on the Open Road! ...Like Easyrider!

[JCReaP]

Rick astley used to do the background vocals

[racesity]

This song was written for Lowell George.......Little Feat

[Sunflyerfly]

Christopher can really burn up that guitar :-))

[mmmeijer01]

@Sunflyerfly you're right ,it's smoking :)

[japcrack712]

Great Song..Damn Shame video killed the radio star

[Delticola]

What's pretty funny is that Michael McDonald has been really popluar on MoTown stations over time and I think many black folks have been surprised when they saw his caucasian appearance. Nothing wrong with beautiful white skin and beautiful black vocals. Anybody else notice the same thing? I think it actually was an issue in musical history if I remember right.

[cskten]

AWESOME! I remember this video from years ago - they still ROCK!

[LAJCain]

Such an awesome song! Honestly, I first heard it in the Dickie Roberts movie, but I've loved it since then!!

[TheElronda]

I love Christopher for everyhting but it´s Michael who have "THE  VOICE"

[stuckinafishbowl]

pfffft my kinda wind

[Jessecraft1954]

I love Christopher Cross' music! He is a great singer and musician. Thanks for all the great music Chris!

[LittleSweety]

This song was in the top 10 in the world charts in 1980

[diepiriye]

Is the crowd really just sitting there. How can they not stand up and jam!?!

[noobthizz33]

when i was a kid i use to think christopher cross and michael mcdonald were black guys lol :)

[LAJCain]

@noobthizz33 wow lol

[benestwice]

Wonderful !

[LittleSweety]

This song was 30 years ago no.4 in the world charts

[oneswetpunkin01]

yea, loving it...

[LittleSweety]

This song was 30 years ago no.3 in the world charts

[jffrocks]

I had no idea Christopher Cross was such a badass guitar player!

[TheElronda]

Love it!!

[LittleSweety]

This song was 30 years ago no.4 in the world charts

[LittleSweety]

This song was 30 years ago no.5 in the world charts

[studiosinger]

Honestly, American Idol singers would put this guy to shame. He isn't worthy of a paid performance in this particular one. For some, it's better they retire or ruin their name. McDonald can't save him either.

[manlaw150]

@studiosinger are you serious?

not only can he sing better than any wannabe american idol singer,he also plays a mean guitar and writes his own music something those chumps will never be able to do.

can you say 5 grammys?

[studiosinger]

@manlaw150 - Oh, I loved this guy years ago too, but today he sucks. Plain and simple.

[astaroth333777]

@manlaw150 i think he still kicking ass he s a good musician

[interstategar]

@studiosinger: your a nobody, and he's a SOMEBODY. That's the root of your comments.

Have you've ever been paid to sing?

[keepntyme]

Maybe you should ask him if he has ever been paid to STOP SINGING !!!

[ThePatriot0311]

@studiosinger You are a freakin' moron!

[studiosinger]

It is the night, your voice is weak. . .

[gli7utubeo]

What a great song. Never got the respect is deserved. That goes for many of Chris's other songs, too.

[tengordon1942]

chris crosss awesome ,, i no little about his personal life from i read that he got screwed on alot of his monies ,, sorry dude ,, but your musics is awesome ,, o if u need my to help u collect your funds let me know ,, jersey guys have a way with thieves lol ,,,,your the best

[LittleSweety]

This song was 30 years ago no.7 in the world charts

[handsupbud]

The man can pick the ass end out of a six string.

[benita1155]

creamin' my Jeans!!!!

[69dodgechargher]

Its what I have to do, ride like the wind

[momoh55]

Simply fantastic..... What else......

[5548612]

Thank you for posting this jam... I love this song. Unfortunately, I felt, he was underated.... Bravo!!!!

[wileypayote]

I love that scene in forty year old virgin when paul rudd says "ya ma kill myself if you play Michael McDonald's ya ma be there one more time." to his electronic store manager. Paul rudd's funny.

[dbkfrogkaty]

Superb music. Quality vocals and instrumentation.

[lilcarlover1]

one of the best songs ever

[MrRaNdOmPOTATO]

im not fond of his singing...

[prazmj]

He's probably not fond of yours either.

[5548612]

cause yo a fool!

[ROADAPPLE756]

What an under rated guitarist.

[0zzyfan44]

The solo was cool !!!

[vtkittrell]

This song brings back great childhood memories! Riding like the wind on my 10 speed bike!!

[willdrummer33]

Awesome Song! 2 great american singers, and what a band! the girls are too superb!

[karirae29]

I so dig him what a great voice

[JeremyH74]

The original Kris Kross

[rushyeskansas]

[pimpinpanda10]

[Hserocker]

Who knew Christopher Cross was such a badass on guitar? Great song Grear Performance!

[MonsterPE]

Saxon...mas gosto mais desse!!!!

[JohnyMcJ]

juanluis62.......another good song by Chistopher Cross with the help of Michael Mcdonald, this song also brings back good memories.

[Papegambit]

SAXON

[michaelc383]

Christopher Cross is truly an inspirational and talented artist who never fails to make me feel that same excitement I had the very first time I heard this tune. His vocal talent is among the planet's finest. Thank you for posting this video!

[SoquiliAsgaya]

This is so fitting for a Soquili Asgaya=HORSE MAN (Cherokee Native Americans DI KA NI ES DI). TO BE FREE AGAIN. Also, SAIL AWAY.

[fmagalhaes1521]

@SoquiliAsgaya you are "tsalagi" ? :)

[Applgrl91]

@fmagalhaes1521 I'm tsalagi! n__n

[fmagalhaes1521]

@Applgrl91 wado..

[Ecstasyoflust]

Nice song. :)

[Laluz1967]

...Daring ideas are like chessmen moved

forward. They may be beaten, but they

may start a winnig game.

[surfside48]

Trivia Time!!!!!!!!! Ride like the wind! Born in San Antonio, Texas,5/3/51. What was Cross' REAL NAME?

[SoquiliAsgaya]

First thoughts because of your asking. Christor Columbus? lol. I enjoy both ARTIST.

[StoogeWatcher]

Christopher Geppert

[OHMYGORDIE]

Great song!!

[babyduck34]

great song, was my mom's favorite :-(

[nitelife1234567]

Whats amazing is even though Cross has sang this a thousand times he still sings it with the same feeling as the first time. Listen to other artists singing their hits years later and you can tell their going through the motions. Not so much here.

[HAROLD1104]

This song is wonderful, it makes you feel free, vibration is magical. Every time I hear it I like more and more. It's a great song by a great singer and composer. I love it.

[Wytrich]

wuha.. whatta Gig... awesome!

[natasico]

nice shred

[TheItalianoMafiosi]

awesome song.

[Papegambit]

@slowrollRod kyle gass

[shmbla73]

Hired for the"Newmanium"

[miketodd67]

I didn't know George Costanza could play guitar like that.

[jpeche12]

Easy now us 40 something bald guys can still get it done!!!!!!!!!

[miketodd67]

Hey no offense intended. I know bald guys can still get it done and with no hair they can get it done faster, less wind resistance.

[stormtatrai]

@jpeche12 Oh, you mean like I got your wife done last night?

[Hunkola]

Awesome song to play when you got the top down and feel the wind blowing through your hair............brings back memories of my drug-dealin' days in the 80's when I was running from the piggies trying to make it the Mexican border !!

[jazzmanEE]

i think i m in love with the woman playing tablas.

bless!

[pattyk77]

they played this together on the tonight show a few months ago

[anitashelby]

Oh, I really love this alot!!! 5*s Thankyou Jullie sweetie for sharing....Anita..

[davidpoolsdb02]

[RAG1060]

LOVED THIS SONG.. along with Sailing... wonderful song.. brings me back to 1980... when I was so young and pretty... sob sob. LOL

[Keysmusic]

[gdawg82]

Song from Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star, a good movie.

[michaelzach6]

[zr24X4ROCKS]

great song!

[dombinii]

this is music jejeje :)

gracias

[coreyang08]

A great song, especially with Michael McDonald as back-up vocal and Christopher Cross as the lead. Two very distinctive and truly unique voices from the music industry----can always tell if it was them or not. Doobie's Bros were the shit, and so was Christopher. :)

[legomationdotcom]

holy cow..one of the best pop rock songs of all time...no doubt about it..

[rvrIII]

mike mcdonald vs rick flair....

[Cherstars]

[ricogonc]

GOOD OLD TIMES!!! I miss it a lot...

[WESTSTAND63]

A WONDERFUL RECORD, MICHAEL McDONALD ON THE KEYBOARDS, AND SOME TOTTY ON STAGE AS WELL::

IT DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER. AS Kuchki999 SAID, "A GREAT GIFT" xx

[Diegond23]

I knew this song on Saxon´s version. Is awesome too

[mek420]

any chance were gonna get a youtube of that?  Being backed up by THE ROOTS! truly was awesome.

[mmmfloorpie]

It's all up for free on NBC's website... Duh.
