  • Nice job fellas!

  • this is probably the 20th or so time i have watched this and i absolutely love it. i am from kansas city so very familiar with shooting star and especially this song. i think you guys actually sound better live than they do. you really do this one right!

  • Man, you guy's have got this one down! Love it

  • Awesome cover, IMHO the singer "got" the feeling of this song. Bass, drums, guitar, keyboards A+++++, you guys totally nailed this this song.

  • that's an impressive cover!

  • yeah right budy im theyy did thats y the real band shootingstar left them a comment!

  • played wayyyyyyy too fast

  • My friend just emailed me about these guys. I am planning on seeing these guys play at the bar tonight since they are in my city! :)

  • Nice Job-Thanks For Playing Our Music

  • Wow, you guys are the real deal,,,,,again, wow, it's an honour to hear from you. I am proud to play your music, I grew up with your influence. We will continue to make you all very proud.

    Thanks

  • dad you do that better than any 1

    LOL GO DAD

  • wow!!!i just got on here to look up my fave band from kc. and so cool to seee others appreciate them. 20 plus years ago i saw them at memorial hall kck and it changed my life seeing last chance. rich reedy

  • wow what a great cover these guys down right rock!!

  • No matter how many times I see this I'm still impressed. I'm up in Toronto once or twice a year, I'll have to stop by and see you guys (since I usually get stuck in Detroit for 24 hours anyway!)

    Have you thought about doing The Wall by Kansas?

  • Hell, I'm stuck in Detroit 24/7... :)

  • And your drummer did a nice job substituting roto-toms for the timpani. (I'm assuming they're roto-toms)

  • He wasnt using Roto-Toms that is an electric drum pad programmed with the Timbales! FYI

  • Ok. He still did a great job!

  • Wow, Im 42 been a Shooting Star fan for years your band is truely Incredible!! Cant get any closer then the record really like to see your band come to Michigan dont matter where its worth the drive to see your band. Thank you for the great video.

  • Fellas, I am quite impressed! I opened this vid half expecting some cheesy, wannabe, high-school garage band to start caterwauling at the top of their lungs; needless to say, I was treated to something MUCH more professional! Five (shooting ;)!) stars for a simply stellar performance!

    But I have a question: is there any way you can get an orchestra to back you up in any future performances of this cover?

    THAT is something I would TRULY love to see!

  • Great job! I really enjoyed this!

  • 2 words  ...Fucken Incredible!!

  • Wow,,,,,thank you, we really worked hard on this song, and we really enjoy playing it.

    Thanks for the comment

  • Damn! You guys rocked the hell out of that! Absolutely excellent job!

  • I play this song now with my new Patrick Eggle doubleneck guitar, totally awsome.

    Thanks for the comment

  • Hey guys -- that kicked ass -- thanks so much = you must come to Redwood city and play at the little fox -

  • Exellent job 'Second Nature' band! Shout out from Detroit. I've seen these guys live. Anyone in the Windsor/Detroit area if you get the chance stop in whereever their playing, you def wanna check these guys out.

  • man u guys rock this "THANKS" welcome to my favs. list

  • does this band only do covers?

  • Do chickens have large talons?

    ha, ha, just kidding. Thanks for the comment, bud!

  • Incredible...wonderful...I cant believe it....guys..YOU ARE GREAT!!!Greetings from Slovakia Ian

  • Great job guys!!

  • EXCELLENT!

  • Great video. Love SS you guys played it note for note. Awesome. Must be great hearing and playing this song live.

  • Awesome!

  • Amazon has them. Check iTunes too.

  • The last time I looked for the CD at Best Buy, they had it, but it was crazy-expensive. I'm sorry, I do not recall the original album title. I have a cassette copy of the tune somewhere. I was lucky to see Shooting Star perform Last Chance live when they opened for Survivor on the Vital Signs tour in '85. It was AWESOME!

  • Thanks for your review. The band really appreciates it. We decided when we started the band that we would not bow down to the norm of bar bands and play all the song we love. People like you make it seem all worth it.

  • Outstanding! This one Rocks!

  • Awesome! The guitarist could have bent a few notes just a smidge higher to put them in tune, but other than that, it was a fantastic performance. I grew up listening to Shooting Star, April Wine, BOC, etc while playing with my Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars. Last Chance is probably my all-time most favorite rock tune.

  • hey, wasn't Shooting Star from Kansas City? does anyone know what part?

  • I think they were from Kansas City south. Anyway, they're disbanded from their original form. They used to do an annual Christmas show in town, not anymore though. I've heard the singer went to Oklahoma though.

  • Shawnee Mission, Ks. The original singer (Gary West) owns a radon detection company in the KC metro area. While the original band broke up, Van McClain (lead guitar,) Steve Thomas (drums) and Ron Verlin (bass) are still together as Shooting Star with a terrific new lead singer in Ronnie Platt. Violinist Shane Micheals and keyboard artist Dennis Laffoon round out the group. They released a CD this last year call Cirlces that is terrifc.

  • This was great. I also enjoy the fact that the bassist is wearing a Rush shirt.

  • Brilliant. Even in Shooting Star's home of Kansas City it's hard to find their albums, to say nothing of covers. Wonderful job.

  • PERFECT!!! You know how long people have been needing to

    hear a cover of this song? More please! Lol. 5 stars broddas.

  • Nice job covering a GREAT song.
