Larry Gowan is one of the best and always will be - he was brilliant then and is still brilliant with STYX. I have the Strange Animal Album my first one broke and Sony in Canada sent me a new one ! Thanks to them for keeping my dead fiancés memory alive (the original tape was his - we intended to marry and emigrate to Canada but it was not to be he died 17 years ago now) But this album always makes me smile.
gowangirl, thanks so much for this video. I was at this show and can say he put on a hell of a performance that night. Better than the 2 times I had seen him at the Ontario Place Forum. I knew they recorded the concert but never got to see any video of it until now. I was sitting right behind the mixing booth. Great seats as we had an unobstructed view of the stage and we got to watch live video feeds on their monitors.
wow his step brother was in this video ....remember the concert in oshawa 26 years ago my first concert my Mum took me and I will never forget Larry/Lawrence love his music always ...26 barns cresent if my shurlock holms serves me correct...lol
This song nailed it for me for my love affair with him. I lived in Santo Domingo for nearly 10 years when I was just a kid. Back then hardly anyone had heard of the Dominican Republic let alone Santo Domingo. So when I heard this song I was impressed.
i was a radio DJ in the 80's and we could not play this song on the radio, this was a great album and i played the heck out of the cassette in my car, lol what a great time to be 21 years old
Probably because it is Anti-War!! That would be my guess why it is not used for recruiting US Military. Also, this awesome song was only released in Canada.
I was there, like it was yesterday, my how time flies!

Another cool tune by Gowan..really cool with the Chapman Stick instead of bass. Those things had a great sound but went out of style fast.
