Your music stood the test of time as evidenced by people like us who still love 707 tunes. Congrats on the legacy!

I was at this show - I was a high schooler living in Colorado Springs at the time and rode up with some friends from school. Thoroughly enjoyed you guys. Didn't enjoy breaking down along I-25 on the drive back to the Springs after the show. I saw you again later on that tour opening for REO Speedwagon.

Thank you, Jim, for sharing this AMAZING performance - you & the boys, just knocking it OUT THE PARK! And the exclusive Live Photo montage is a nice bonus as well! Cheers & keep on ROCKING, Mate!

[@SBGGCA]

Thanks very kindly. I am glad that the music and the performance stand up after all these years.

[@megazap9986]

Your a kick ass drummer!

[@SBGGCA]

Thanks kindly. Maybe once upon a time that was true. Today, not so much. :-)

[@lesgl]

A true powerhouse..

[@sherriwalters6095]

Your song “One Way Highway” is my favorite ballad of all times. The love of my life introduced me to it when it first came out. It’s an amazingly beautiful song and orchestration and….I absolutely love it! Thanks for the sweet memories 🙏❤️

[@SBGGCA]

That's very kind of you, Sherri. I'm glad that, all these years later, the music still stand up.

[@lesgl]

Love this recording...the ''Second Album'' tracks come up a treat on this..

[@SBGGCA]

Thanks kindly. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@johnmcgraw573]

I was there, at the Rainbow I believe, great show.

[@baxman6558]

Wow, this is fantastic! I saw you and 707 open for REO in Charleston, WV, in March, 1981. It was REO's tour for Hi Infidelity, by the way. Immediately went out and bought The Second Album, then the first, and both have been in my music rotation every since. Love every song on each of those albums. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us, first as a musician and now as a brother in Christ.

[@SBGGCA]

I appreciate the very kind comments and I'm grateful that the music has held up for all these years.

Thanks for posting this Jim I turned a lot of people onto 707 way back when, I also noticed that the pictures of Kevin and Phil are swapped at 32 minutes. I also wondered what you thought about Casablanca as at that time they seemed to be primarily a disco label. Also for those who might not know you can still find Duke McFadden's solo album Home Again on ebay

[@heaveninc.5656]

First time hearing them, I hear some Cars influence, may just be me, but man loving it.

[@timlaine6268]

80s rock, splashes of keyboards, big guitar solos....where did we go wrong? What happened to music?

[@joeblow7407]

I don't remember these guys making a dent in the New York or Philly markets. The big radio stations were WNEW and WMMR........Never heard these guys on either........Kind of a rock/pop/new wavish blending. Talented! A touch of Huey Lewis perhaps!!!

[@russdangelo7274]

Can somebody give me the setlist please??

[@billcompeau4835]

Excellent concert! If you ever want me to clean up and master the audio let me know, I own a studio that offers mastering and mixing services but I would do this one for free!

[@SBGGCA]

I appreciate the offer. But, this audio from a cassette is probably sufficient for KZbin purposes. I cannot imagine what other use there would be for it. :-)

[@jackrector7117]

Where did the name 707 come from?

[@megazap9986]

Stems from 747

[@SBGGCA]

We were looking for a name. We wanted something specific that would translate to any language. So, we decided a number was good (this was before the B-52's, by the way). 707 seemed like an instantly recognizable number, so we went with it.

[@PiratePrincessYuki]

I ran into a burnt CD my late husband had, I think it’s the Megaforce album. But it has a song on it called Can’t Hold Back. Did you guys ever perform that live?

[@SBGGCA]

Regularly. It one of our opening songs when we toured with Ted Nugent.

[@billcompeau4835]

Jim are you still in touch with the other band members???

[@SBGGCA]

I am, yes.

[@billcompeau4835]

@@SBGGCA Are they all doing well?

[@SBGGCA]

@@billcompeau4835 -- Well, Duke (the keyboardist and fellow-songwriter on our first album) passed away a few years ago. But, the others are all well and thriving.

You guys were good...But God....😁
