Rick, I'll find the VHS it came from if you want it!

Hope all is well with you.

Thanks for posting this. I was there in the front row. I'm the guy in the long sleeve Tshirt with the clenched fist. I can't find my copy so this is great. I have to show it to my kids so they will be embarassed.

@mcmorey...How about that, yoour 5 minutes of fame. Are you next to the guy in a black vest?

Wasn't this filmed in Daytona Beach, Florida?

[Asilazi]

Glad to have made your day. Thanks for the feedback.

I remember MTV using a bit of this in one of their promos around that time. BC Rich had just recently issued the Stealth model, the guitar that both Rick and the kid are playing in this video. I gather Rick was involved in designing, though after a couple years, he was doing ads for Steinberger. I think Bernie Rico Sr said once that BC Rich didn't build very many Stealth guitars.

The music lineup playing on the track is Rick Derringer lead vocals / lead guitar, Donnie Kisselbach bass, Alan Merrill rhythm guitar, Jimmy Wilcox drums. The song appeared on Derringer's "Good Dirty Fun" album. The trio here are miming, but with Rick are Kisselbach and Wilcox in this video clip. Merrill had moved on and gone solo on Polydor records when this was made.
