[brienooy]

[GarbageDrummer]

GEORGE

[Struturinn]

Epic.

[1handkamehameha]

DT's version is way more intense. but i love how this one is sort of serene. :D

[XxZebrAxX124356]

i met Felix and why dont you learn how to capitalize someones name

[stiehlreddog]

@XxZebrAxX124356 That`s nice.When we begin a sentence we start with a capital letter.That`s pretty funny!

[madeku]

@stiehlreddog yup... also, "I" never stands alone in lower case :p

[stiehlreddog]

@madeku Great so that makes us both wrong.Thanks for bringing it up.I will forever cherish the english lesson from a person that commited the same sin.Lol!!!!

[NBathlete17]

@XxZebrAxX124356 who gives a shit, as long as you know what the guys name is,

[Smartskaft2]

Awesome, but wtf? Are the vocals supposed to sound like that? :p I don't think that it sounded very proffessional in 1:47. ^^ Auch! 1:56. x)

Don't get me wrong, I love this band (I've never seen them live, is it really THE Zebra?)

[mervycowan]

This is the only song by Zebra i have heard but i look forward to hearing more. I was introduced to them by Dream Theater who do a fantastic cover of this, John Petrucci really goes to town on the solo; you can tell they were quite inspired by Zebra

[echt35]

Dream Theater is much better than this I think

[KXRSI]

@echt35 hard to say such a thing

[otrebla54]

el trabajo de dream theater es espectacular... como cover.....

[karlitoxpercu]

I discovered this band cause i heard the DT version..! and the two versions are terrific..!

[Takenashi]

can someone give me a link to the studio version of this song?

[urban1994]

does this song have a studio version...?

[stiehlreddog]

O.K

[BytorTheKing]

This was always one of my fave Zebra tracks back in the day, and now, thanks to you-- I have a GREAT live recording of it!! You rock ALMOST as much as Randy Jackson!!!

[progsock]

i first heard the dt cover... this is awsome to :)

[perilio]

Great song, i also heard this becuase of dt

[jackpaice]

i have to say i prefer DT's cover :D eheheh his voice kinda scares me x)

[ssopro]

Well, I am also more one that discovered this because of Dream Theater. I had got to know the original.

Excellent.

[tunlvzn]

Cant wait to see Zebra this weekend at the St. Cletus Oyster fest in Gretna!!!!!!!!!!

[Steelman985]

Where is that? Looks like Gretna.

[tunlvzn]

I think it's the Ponchatoula Strawberry festival

[DrBundy1]

Security wearing a TPSO hat. Strawberry Fest?

[klickBG]

Dream Theater sended me here :D rly amazing song, its good to pay tribute to the bands that have ispired you, that is what Dream Theater did. now i learned another great band, it reminds me somethig like Led Zeppelin

[66Childintime]

They have been compared to Zeppelin from the start. but Zebra is a great fucking band. Randy Jackson is a great song writer, guitarist and vocalist.

[fingerboy18]

This performance is wonderful. The vocals actually sound good in falsetto at the high parts but I do enjoy LaBrie's take on it in all full voice! Great band, I hope DT helped them out some way.

[belgiumstefan]

One of the most fantastic guitar solos I've ever heard... My mind was blown when I first heard it on the new Dream Theater cd.

[Maouseclick]

this solo is pure feeling

[drupa99]

What CANT you find on YouTube? This is a RARE find from my teen years - I never thought I would hear this tune again. BIG props to these guys - they pull it off brilliantly LIVE - THAT'S DEEP TALENT! THANKS for putting this up!

[tunlvzn]

I will be in Gretna in October to see Randy if I have to walk,crawl or drag myself there! In my opinion Zebra was one of the greatest bands of my era.Looking forward to seeing this religious experence live. Zebra rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rpeggio]

Wow I never realized how well Randy played guitar while singing....some really cool rhythms and licks while belting out the tunes. Up there with Ty Tabor who also is great and singing and playing challenging rhythms.

[andy0273]

stupid comment - learn to appreciate talent when you see it

[danitaly]

This song is simply beautiful! I just found out it existed beacause Dream Theater are out with a cover.

[inthefle]

me too i loved dream theater's version

[eheister2006]

Their entire first album "Zebra" is good. You should get it.

[histoirian]

Lol me too xd

[spuddicus]

i was stoked when i found out. zebra and DT are two of my all-time favorite bands :D!

[rassmunsen]

GODLY ! ZEBRA !!!

[sriggs19]

Come see Zebra at the St. Cletus Oyster Festival on Saturday, October 17, 2009 at 8 p.m. 3600 Claire Ave., Gretna, LA 70053. Admission is FREE!!! Come early and bring your appetite, as there will be a huge variety of South Louisiana's favorite foods, draft and bottled beer, wine, daiquiris, and more.

[hushdrops]

this i'm pretty sure is from the Strawberry Festival , 2002 - I remember that RJ had his amp setup (no POD direct as usual these days) and the sheriff's deputies right behind the stage throughout the show

[aitraining]

I'm sad whenever I see Randy Jackson as the guy has to be one of the most underrated talents ever. He should have been all world successful for years and years.

[tz125r]

The most underated rock act of the 80's, fortunately we in Scotland managed to hear about them through rock radio stations. They were and still are awesome and this video proves what a class live act they are.

[1bigpat1]

After putting off going to see them live for 20 plus years, I finally went Friday night in Lafayette LA. They were great ! I acted like I was still in high school...treat yourselves and go listen to them live.

[stiehlreddog]

GREAT idea.1 of the most underated bands.I was lucky enough to have seen them many times.And then they were signed by atlantic and after 5 albums the music scene has just changed.& not for the bettor in my opinion.

[stiehlreddog]

They did very well for a while.And are just great musicians!Randy is a great writer

and guitar plyr.check out the zebra dvd promo on here.You will be surprised by some of the stuff on there.great DVD!

[TheGoldenCape]

Someone asked why Zebra didn't make it big well the reason is because they we're compared to Led Zeppelin in a magazine I believed they were called clones or rip offs or something to that effect and it really hurt their future. I personally love them way more than Led Zeppelin but maybe I'm biased since I'm from New Orleans and so is the band. They still play here quite a bit and I know they have a following in New York as well. I've only seen them once but it was awesome.

[curbowman]

Where's the bassist??

[stiehlreddog]

He is playing keys for this tune.Zebra is a trio and the bass player felix switches to keys on some songs.If your a musician then you probabley know the bass parts are played on the keys.

[SteveSparx]

S P E A K S

[SteveSparx]

seen em 100x mint

[okrabay]

How do you make any money at a show like this?

[ShotsloppyD]

If you're saying Zebra sucks- you make money by getting guys like you to give blowjobs at a tent at stage left...

If you were seriously asking- then you advertise and Zebra fans show up and pay money.

Either way it was a stupid question.

[stiehlreddog]

very well put!I have been trying to avoid people with no common sense.so thank you 4 answering that!!

[dontstandsoclose]

shotsloppy strikes again! lol. gj

[KennyWrites]

I remember seeing them at Speaks in Island Park Long Island back in the day. They were always playing there, along with Twisted Sister. Good Times!

[notreallysure9]

Do you or anyone else here in youtube land have a close up home made video of Randy Jackson playing the song TIME [from the 3.V album] on his 12 string? Live he usually plays it before they do "Who's behind the Door". I am trying to learn it and I am unsure of a few parts (as the song is in a funky tuning [GGDGBD]). If you have such a video, please, please post it. Thanks a zillion in advance!

[csven]

Another fan from way back when (easy to be fan since their influences were my favorite bands). Thanks for posting this. Makes me wish I still had a turntable so I could dig out the vinyl. Will have to check out their most recent effort.

[beereye4thestr8guy]

Saw them live in Tulsa in the late 70's after the first album which I had on 8-track and wore out. Really thought they'd go farther than what happened. Jackson can play and sing. Glad they're still rockin and hope to see them at Rocklahoma in July! Rock onwards, Randy, Randy

[bobbyp416]

Truly, a VERY cool video... You know? I've always wondered why these guys never made it bigger than they did...? I've loved 'em since the first time I heard 'em! Thanks for posting this, really!

[heavydrummer64]

the boys can still do it. i dont know the year of this video, but it shows them raw and they could cut it. always loved the power trio!

[nessun000]

zebra r just awsome! thanx a million for posting this gem.

[do5e]

awesome, ty
