AMEN! Rock ruled in 1981. Most of the #1 albums in the US that year were by rock bands like REO Speedwagon, Styx (who kicked ass when DeYoung/Young/Shaw/Panozzos worked as a team), Foreigner, The Moody Blues, The Rolling Stones, Steveie Nicks, Journey, AC/DC. Also, the year belonged to Genesis, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Dio led Sabbath. Also Queen played their first gigs in South America that year and Pink Floyd's last shows with Roger Waters until their swan song in '05 at Live 8.

Amazing performance! Tommy's solo is sick live but I always wondered how he got such a gnarly sound on it in the studio version. Is it a talkbox or something?

It's not a talk box, although it does sound a bit like it. My best guess is that he used a heavily overdriven (not distorted) tube amp and a wah pedal left mostly in the open position (a little like Michael Schenker often used). And probably a mid-range boost with the highs and lows flat.
