I saw him in 1982, in Mobile, Alabama. My best friend and I went to it together. We actually went to several concerts together. Not Peter Frampton or Fleetwood Mac though, we hadn't met yet, she was a grade younger than me. Billy Squier's drummer is hilarious. He went ape shit on them drums. I'll never forget it. The concerts were great at the Mobile municipal auditorium, it was general admission, so if you got there really early, you can get right in front of the stage. I did it every time. One of the places in Dallas had general admission and my boyfriend and I went there for a few concerts. Ted Nugent was one of them. He's great in concert. He did only have his loin cloth on. 😂

It was a magical summer, for sure!

Who is here in 9/2024 listening to this great singer besides me?

[@ProTrump1966]

Listened this tonight with a Friends Band ! They rocked it for 4 hours straight 😁 Lots of fun with the Veterans Playing Tonight 👍

[@lorimcallister8246]

I'm on my lunch listening to him also , went to see him in concert, awesome show .

[@michaeldouglas6008]

I saw them after the album came out. Blew me away! My sister was older and had a friend i crushed on and she loved that i loved them and knew all the words during the show. I used to have the vinyl in those days…..never forget those times!

[@lynettehofmann5129]

Love it

I am! September 27 2024 10: 12 am Pacific time. Housecleaning and jamming! In the dark ! 🤘🏻

[@racedrvier42]

This song is absolutely flawless

[@DA-bp8lf]

When I heard this song I was 17! My mind exploded and I knew I had landed! My confidence in myself went off the charts and from this moment forward I knew there was nothing I couldn’t do! Don’t let anyone ever tell you your not good enough! If you want it bad enough, it will happen! Guaranteed!!

BILLY NEEDS TO BE IN THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME

[@JoeCote-hx8ii]

Put this man in rock and roll hall of fame.... now.... unreal.....

[@rondahernandez8229]

I love that comment picking up chicks in the transam!!! Those were truly the best memories growing up in the 80's!!! So awsom!!!🎉

[@tadracket448]

I don't want to live in a world where rock and roll doesn't include Billy Squire. This brings back memories I've long forgotten.

[@DH-pu8rb]

Grew up listening to his music in my early teens at the skating rink and into high school rocking it at max volume in my truck. It never gets old!!!!! Love it just like I was back in my teens 😎

[@williamcwynar9300]

Takes me back to High School.. Great memories..

[@StephanieForler]

I am a mom of four boys and My youngest son was recently diagnosed at fourteen with severe schizoohrenia and this song seems to relate to some of the emotions I feel for him LOST in the dark 😢

[@MissAstorDancer]

Sending you love and sending up prayers for you both! I cannot imagine, really, what you both are going through!

[@MissAstorDancer]

Had to come back and tell you I listened to the song again right after my above comment, and I will never hear the song the same way again! And that's not a bad thing, for me, meaning now I have another association to go with this song., even though I'm sad that your misfortune resulted in my new association!! The second verse always reminded me of my older sister, as when the song was out, I was just starting to really "learn" about my sister, iykwim. This is my fave Billy song, and I love it even more now!!!

[@dianeledesma3211]

Sorry to hear that I can relate. My 26 year old has been dealing with the same thing. It's not easy at all and many people don't understand. Unless they have lived with someone with schizophrenia.. People think you can just snap out it ... But you can't 😢

[@dianeledesma3211]

I also lost my oldest son at 25 years old from a fentanyl drug overdose.. I can totally relate to this song also feeling lost , lonely 🥺

[@StephanieForler]

@@dianeledesma3211 I'm sorry to hear of others trying to adjust to such tragedy but I hope that our outcomes are similar as well and full of love and understanding and courage and that we all find peace

[@EofBrokenSilence]

Saw him in Huntsville Alabama back in 81 or 82. He opened up for Foreigner and blew them away! One of the best lyricist ever. Rock on Billy!

[@jaynerdrum3546]

Saw Squire open for Blue Oyster Cult at the Cow Palace in '79 and again a week or two later, I saw him open for Todd Rungren. They all did an amazing job. I feel blessed and honored to be able to see them at their prime.

Billy was a huge part of my teenage years!!!! 🎉I wanna go back!!

[@joshvickers3825]

Definitely me! I'm 43. This came out when I was 1yrs old! Beautiful song!!

[@gofastparts4u]

I remember being about 17 or 18, so 91 or 92, and this guy in a badass '86 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe with a huge sound system was blasting "The Stroke" as he pulled up to the 1 four way stop light in Kearney, MO at 92 and 33. I stood there and thought "Now that guy is freakin' cool!".... I went and bought every Billy Squire CD i could find at Camelot. Then I was the one blasting Billy Squire in my car!

[@fayejacobs1043]

So glad this was the kind of music my friends and I listened to in the 80's, sadly I don't think my children will carry this music, even though I listened to it while they were growing up. Here in November 2024.

So refreshing to hear this. Bring this sound back.

[@wyzyguy726]

This album got me interested in playing guitar seriously.. 40 plus years later.. I play most days. Thank you Billy. Great gift

[@MissAstorDancer]

71-year-old here, this is my FAVORITE Billy song, by FAR. Super enigmatic lyrics! rresistible beat and groove, and VIBE! This video ran on frequent rotation during early MTV days, and was basically my introduction to Billy! LOVE this song and this video SO much! TY!💋

[@eloyruperto5016]

Great song, I still blast this song and I'm 56...

[@julesmisty]

Me too and I'm a 63 yr old lady. Love it loud ❤

[@raygarrett354]

The 80,s were the greatest time to be a young teenager. The music , the lifestyle and girls 😁. I would love to go back to that time and stay , the world is to weird and evil now .

[@hotandbotheredinvegas]

OMG! I could NOT agree with you more. Life was so much easier then 💫💛💫💛💫

[@fastted9390]

One man, one guitar, one song, one voice = the GREAT Billy Squire. No one and I mean NO ONE is / was as talented to be able to do all 3. Imagine DLR or MJ singing, playing a Gibson, and writing great songs by himself and himself alone. No one was ever THAT great. No one.

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

bro,heard of tommy shaw? i love(i mean reall love) billy squire but tommy is miles above in vocal prowess and guitar skill. you know,styx,damn yankees etc....renegade? blue collar man? too much time on my hands?

Grew up as a teen in the 80s listening to Billy. I bought the albums because he always had catchy songs with great guitar work. It was the guitar work that I loved.

[@Jp421JP]

Big fan. His music is so connected to the time I really fell in love with music. So good.

[@johnschoonover5914]

Got my ear buds in blasting that music and lock the world outside. Going down memory lane 80'S and 90's great times.Still here August 2024!!!

[@williamtobin7282]

This cat HAD REAL FN TALENT. To sing, great ballads and play guitar is almost a lost art . I'm proud of the fact he didn't bend over for the producers and idiots and kept it real. I STILL have 3 of his albums and listen to them, this many years later..take care BILLY
