Just an absolutely brilliant player. Too bad he never got the kind of recognition he deserved. He was a bit of a wild man back in his day. Now he's a kinder, gentler guy, but it isn't the same David Wilcox as we knew and loved back in the 80s. This tune is my favorite of all his songs. Thanks for sharing!

I saw David Wilcox in London, Ontario, Canada at The London Music Hall, April 29, 2022. Standing room only, packed, and he lit up the crowd! The roof must be reinforced! lol He rocked and entertained just as hard as he does here. Legend!!

There's an important lesson for young people that this video teaches very well: If you want to connect with your audience and draw them in, you have to show them that you enjoy performing. Wilcox does this very well.

Got to see Mr Wilcox in various venues many times over the years. Enjoyed every one of them. It was his signature straight forward music, loud, punchy and satisfying to the audience sound emanating from the stacks. We all know how David makes the faces and his eyeballs roll around when he is in the midst of his playing...a fantastic representation of his genuine ability to feel and deliver, with no care to what we think it looks like, or what we might say about it. One time, while very close to the stage and looking at him play and do his eye and head rolls along with the facial contorts, he looked at me and realized I was focusing on that part of the show. Laughing as I was and embarrassed to have been caught doing that, he stared at me in acknowledgement and then gave a very warm smile. Kind of like to say, “I know....and it’s okay...enjoy the show.” What a great guy. You’re the coolest...thank you David.🤙🤙🙂

Reminds me of the bar scene in Toronto in 1980 and thereabouts. David Wilcox, Goddo, Teenage head. and Frank Soda. Saw then all many times. Great time for going to a bar and getting blown away by great music. and a shout out to Kim Mitchell and Rush who were out of the bars and into stadiums by then.

I've always the loved the man. He's a crazy-ass, drunk canadian guitar hero. (though I heard he's been off the sauce for a while now) He looks a mad monk now that he's without hair. Very good at what he does. I've seen him live (early 90's), one of the loudest and BEST shows I have ever witnessed. I wish I recording music at the time, I would have done so. Wont make that mistake again.
