This video went viral on Netherlands

does it get any better?

Saw them live a couple of times 77/78/I think i'm in saying they had to repeat songs for encore through lack of material!
-
Good Lord... it really has been 30 years... still ove 'em, though.
-
why can no-one pull their songs off live anymore? Arcade fire, the most celebrated band of the 00s, are nowhere near as tight as this live.
-
@thebert03 Rita Coolidge and Kris Kistofferson's performance on Whistle was considered a landmark in intimate live music back in the 70s. The song was "Help Me Make it Through the Night" (it's on You Tube).

Is that rita coolidge reference some kind of inside joke we don't know about?
-
I just have to applaud Andy's pants. That's smackable, right there. :P
-

Saw them half a dozen times in '77-'78, an INCREDIBLY tight band. WAYYY ahead of their time.
