Yup. Jerry Shirley from Humble Pie. Molland and Shirley were also in the band Natural Gas together.

Awesome clip, thanks for posting, this is a great song, I also like this version better than the cd, Joey looks like the singer for Cheap Trick in the suit! He was great at the Hippifest this year!!

Hey Barb,

What a treat!

I was a good friend of Joey's for many, many years when he lived in California, but haven't heard from him or Kathie for sometime now. I vividly remember this lineup - the best of the post-Tommy ones - playing this song at "Beatlefest" that year in L.A. - and then taking Joey and Jerry out drinking that night. Jerry Shirley still owes me a drink! (I also knew him and Stevie Marriott too, but not as well as Joey)

Would love to see that lineup again - in Phoenix.

I was a little disapointed with the version on "This Way Up" as well. I think it was a case of having the song for so long and feeling the need to try and do something different with it. This arrangement is the definitive one.

Thanks Barb! I was hoping you would have this to post. It's my favorite of all of his solo songs - but only the live versions from around this time period. Such a PERFECT rocker! Am I the only one who thought it could have been a hit? Too bad the studio version on This Way Up can't compete.
