Most people wrote off Cafferty and Beaver Brown as Springsteen ripoffs. But the facts are that the two musicians played the same style of music on the same East Coast circut around the same time(mid 70's). Bruce always acknowledged this.
@misfits4life1 Really? How sad was that. Back in 1975 when I first saw them they were the hottest things going around here, ofcourse this is Rhode Island not a lot of competition.
@misfits4life1 Thats because every jackass with a beer in his hand thinks he has a right to be a music critic. Musicians pour their hearts out only to be run down by some schmuck who doesnt know his ass from his elbow. Just cuz its not your kind of music doesnt mean it sucks.
Thanks for pointing that out. I posted this almost two years ago and had it spelled correctly in the tags, but never noticed that I had it misspelled in the title.
Sure was real bands out there, without all the processing of today.. this was a killer band and a killer song...If you are doggin' it.. I guess you must have been a fetus then!!!
Haven't heard this song in years. I remember dancing to this at the high school dances after the basketball games in 1985. It was a great time for music then, unlike today. Thanks for posting!
I was there the night they recorded this

One of the best concerts I ever saw. An incredible talent that was not supported by a corporate music industry with no balls.
