[98michellesanders]

Such a great song - brings back so many good memories!!!!

[hottotts30]

Cleeeeeveland!!!!!!!

[MichaelC2B]

I have the original album and I just love this song.  It was such a great choice for the makers of Hawaii 5-0 to use when Jimmy Buffett took off in the helicopter with Steve's team to go save him from Wo-Fat in Korea. Great show, awesome episode. I love the episodes that give Alex O. the chance to really show off his acting ability, and this one did.

Well, back to the song. Still rocks after all these years.

[Eastwoodfan95]

thumbs up if you heard this on the episode of Hawaii 5-O with Jimmy Buffet

[dem80nascar]

This was the first concert that I went to back in the early 70's, and Steely Dan was there also.

[tori481]

@dem80nascar Just read your comment and I must say I'm jealous. Must've been a great show!

[OzzyFan324282]

james gang or die!

[APancho1968]

Think I wore this album out on vinyl in 1973!

[ibedoinwork21]

funk anyone who doesn't like this

[OntarioGUY11]

Awesome song always !

[KREEPNASTY1]

God I love what the guitar does at 2:19 I can hear that part Over and Over and Over again.......

[kyzursozay]

Anybody else remember seeing the James Gang on the mall in Wash.D.C. early 70's? can't remember exact date, just my cousin, brother, & me were drinking Coors that my cousins parents had brought from Dallas, TX on a visit. That was pre-Smokey & the Bandit when Coors really wasn't available nationwide.

[jimehiggins]

@kyzursozay I was there with a friend - grass seating near the front, hot day, I believe it was 1973. Great sound, but left when an empty wine botle flew past my head.

[signeseeker17]

@jimehiggins And I bet it wa Ripple...

[modelleg]

This song brings back the smell of the dorms at Allegheny College, 1971.

[megadeth2121]

this is my bird's favorite song :[

[slpplexi1969]

0 dislikes!

[slpplexi1969]

I think Tony Iommi liked this band, I hear parts of Iron Man and some other Sabbath riffs in James Gang songs.

[eddythemusicman13]

@slpplexi1969 Well this song happens to be in the same key as "Iron Man"....besides. If it was Iommi liking this band, you'd hear James Gang in Black Sabbath, not vice versa.

[slpplexi1969]

@eddythemusicman13 Same thing.

[eddythemusicman13]

@slpplexi1969 No...actually, it's not...in fact, they're complete opposites...

[slpplexi1969]

@eddythemusicman13 I hear what could have inspired parts of Black Sabbath songs. Stop trying to argue with me about what I hear and listen to the song!

[eddythemusicman13]

@slpplexi1969 I've listened to the song, and I've listened to it many times. If Iommi liked this band particularity, you would not hear him in the James Gang. You'd hear the James Gang in Black Sabbath.

Regardless, I'm willing to bet you're hearing the key of A with distortion.

[slpplexi1969]

@eddythemusicman13 I don't care how many times you have listened to this song, I just want you to stop. I don't listen to Black Sabbath much, I just heard something similar in this song so I thought that maybe this band was an influence to him. I didn't ask you to tell me what I'm hearing. There are lots of song in A with distortion, they all sound different. This song specifically reminds me of Iron Man in some parts. Please don't continue this pointless arguing.

[detroitckr]

lol i was stoned going to school like a with friends and we get on the bus and over the speaker on the bus shes playing this song it was the greatest bus ride ever.

[100JamesX]

[jjammin1812]

Just thought some would like to sing along. James Gang was always one of my favorites.

[jjammin1812]

Sleep all day, out all night I know where you're goin' I don't think that's actin' right You don't think it's showin' Jumpin' up, fallin' down Don't misunderstand me You don't think that I know your plan What you try'n ta hand me? Out all night, sleep all day I know what you're doin' If you're gonna act that way I think there's trouble brewin'

[Egista07]

@jjammin1812 appreciate it man I posted this into my description box same with the Walk Away video.

[Farrah300]

@jjammin1812 I like the lyrics. Very catchy I must say.

[classictv80]

was kenny loggins given this opening and recurrent riff to use from this for Footloose or did he just shamefully steal it ?

[junglekuratz]

@classictv80 Yes, I hear the same thing. Footloose is a plagiarism of Funk 49. I hope Kenny Loggins acknowledged that he copied Funk 49 consciously or otherwise.

[davisdeanna44]

I cant get enough of this! Rock and Roll Baby !!

[standoffsighs]

My brother used to crank this album so loud...but I was the one who always got yelled at for jamming! I'm going to remind him of that~ he he

[Oceabrz]

another great song by The James gang..

damn!!! bring them all back like it was before!!!  this kind of music destroys the music of today..there IS no music like this anymore....

[dlm9293]

@Oceabrz listen to the black keys cover of this song i think you'll enjoy it if you find this song great but just played out like me...

[Oceabrz]

@dlm9293 I just checked out The Black Keys doing this song. Not quite as good as The James gang, but I do like their version of the song. thanks
