I got curious to see what ratbatblue posted.Too bad some Blackmore fans use to say a lot of bullshit about Bolin.Remember 1 thing,Bolin never worried to play Blackmore songs doing same guitar solos of Blackmore,he always had his own personality and played on his way,and sometimes he couldn't get his best playing live because he was on drugs,but when he was clean he used to be superb,just listen "Come taste the band" to realize this.Compare Blackmore to Bolin is a big stupidity,both are excelent

[JohnnyVisionquest]

I never understood the Blackmore vs Bolin fan rivalry, I always loved both players, just as they both admired each other's work. Bolin was not as recognized for his talents, which were extremely diverse.

Hey RatBatBlue555.. you weener,

You show your ignorance. Tommy and John Tesar wrote this when Tommy was about 16 1/2 years old. It is a very early demo likely recorded on a cheapo home tape deck with crap mics.

It was about late 1968 or early 1969. check out the kick ass full band version on the first Zephyr album a year later.

So asshole, lets see the stuff you wrote at 17 years old.

Tommy had more talent and magic in his stool than you are likely ever to experience in your life.

Tommy Bolin wrote and played my most fav music ever.LOVE him!and more than Blackmore,but i love him too ,just less.Tommy was a better writer and singer than Blackmore .There both great guitar players.A lot work for TB to learn RB solo's,and on drugs,he didn't care to put much effort.he could of done it if he cared to.

Magical songwriter and musician !!

[Cupidville]

Great song; reminds me a bit of Robbie Robertson of the "BAND". I liked his work with Deep Purple -- especially the tour of Australia. His solo work speaks for itself and his work on Cobham's Spectrum CD and Alphonse Mouzon's Mind Transplant have received praise from the rest of the music world. A Great player that belongs in the master class of guitarist.

@tcstratman i actually saw TB 3 months before he died. he was too drugged out to play well. sad. he was incredibly talented and was loved by so many. he did some good stuff with DP but most of it wasnt that great. gettin tighter is good, and he did wild dogs live with them too.

[tcstratman]

Tommy was fantastic and I loved his work, except live with Purple. I wasted money seeing him with them. He was so screwed up on drugs, he didn't even know half the songs. It was probably the worst performance I ever saw on stage. Thank God I have all the incredible albums to remember him by. It is a shame what drugs did to his playing on stage as well as what it did to him personnally.

[Acorn1208b]

@Eliascalifa . I think , Tommy, more the musician ... just wanted to PLAY ... and got lost and hurt ... when other's were marked and he was not .... Drugs just magnified this for him ... and gave him an alternate route ,but those of us,left behind. TIP OUR HATS and KNOW there's real fame and talent , there is NO comparing ,each of them have their place . Bolin did a lot , his name was not put on . But a real musician ..... still JUST LOVES TO PLAY .RIP T. BOLIN .
