This song is badass! Even better live. Blessed era. Still outshines modern music!

[@mill89027]

Loved how Jack kept high note just like the cd

[@bezman116]

I was at that Concert I was 26yrs old and there was so much woman there and they sounded great! 80's Glam Metal Rule!!!!

[@james1stful]

These dudes were the greatest. This is the music of my youth!!!!! Mark Kendal is the coolest cat and one hellava guitarist!!!

[@emello4you]

Completely badass right here! This here is what musicians are supposed to sound like regardless of studio or stage and this band displays it better than I can even tell you. Fricken awesome!!!

[@gregoryplunkett9147]

This is like we used to say back in The Day. Jamming Man.Freakin A. Good Ole Rock N Roll here folks👍🎸🎤🥁😀

[@Perk50]

Damn, the good days of rock and fun! Skills on all the instruments.....wooooooo!

[@stevebarker4681]

Still kicks ass 2021.

[@angusoastler9346]

This is song written by Doc Neeson and the Brewster Brother for the Angels, from Australia.

[@greekshark]

My fav band ever!...and very underrated too.What a performance!!!

[@vailplace3606]

You ain't lying. Love this band till I die!!a nice bunch of dudes

[@oceanclayton7980]

great song.miss them together. great band.

[@jok99teez]

These guys were so damn good live. Their pinnacle album was Hooked - they played that album live better than the studio cut. That fuckin nightclub fire is just for Fool's to be negative.

[@craigsouder9334]

Russell sang so well here...remarkable..his plant covers are great

[@jeffreywarme8594]

My first concert was Great White opening for Judas Priest at Long Beach Arena in May of 1984!!!!! Their early material rocks harder!!!

[@beansandcornbread]

Mine was 1991 with Trixter opening, Great White second, and Scorpions headlining. Man it was slammin'.

[@hakashaqU812]

Ha ha my Dad drove us to that show. Bought that shirt with the middle finger Stick It!! And that Priest show was broadcast Live on KMET/ KLOS/ KNAC ?

[@robertw.bauesjr9190]

RIP Jack you were the ONLY voice of Great White! Thank you for all the fantastic music. You will be missed!😎

[@visarbilali6984]

The intro sends me to childhood.... After decades, I started listening to it again.....includes women I love and to me, it's a life description !

[@TheE1961]

80's Metal does Rule!

[@sw4841]

See these are musicians … to be a musician you have to be able to play an instrument and or sing…. Poor kids today worship rap.. it’s not music it’s poetry to a computer generated best… this was and is the best era for music.. dudes had talent back then

[@robertv9448]

Funny the people who call this glam. Back in my day when I played, I was a "blues rock guitarist".

[@kp6173]

No doubt,kick ass blues based rock;love it.

[@Ampfear]

It was certainly in the glam era but these dudes were way more brutal than your average glam metal band. Blues has touched every genre out there today.

[@adammeyer7096]

these guyz and cinderella had sum serious blues chops

[@Stacie45]

I have always thought what set these guys apart from all the other Big Hair metal bands of the 80's and 90's was the heavy blues vibe.

[@jt-xg5cu]

Great singer, miss you Jack, rock heaven ❤

[@DG191145]

R.I.P. Jack Russell

[@ardnega]

one of my fav songs ... never seen them play live ... awesome ... thanks.

[@rockdog2843]

[@thrashmetalowns666]

they nailed this song so well, especially from what i heard they all had the flu

[@aricc2354]

I was at this show, Feb 2, 1988. Great White opened for Guns N Roses at the Ritz which is now Webster Hall. Epic night.

[@GerinPhils]

you witnessed history...GNR in their prime

[@mikemc5221]

What’s funny is that when this show was scheduled Guns N’ Roses was the opening band but album sales changed Guns N’ Roses was airing it up now. Great wide open.

[@greekshark]

Hard rock forever.This is my fav band.I love this song.Thanks for posting it.Amazing quality!!!

[@devinspruill]

GET IT,JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marklarose8600]

2024!!!!!!!!

[@TheMetalgod100]

When MTV actually played music.

[@1962drob]

I can relate to this song.

[@TheE1961]

Jack Russell is a big VOID in Great White's line up!!

[@visarbilali6984]

Life song!

[@chrisrae4401]

My favorite band ...wow u should of seen them live....girls hi heals mini skirts.

[@Stitch1953]

I love this music! Cannot believe I had the Freaking hair!

[@ZebVanZandt]

Such high accolades for a bunch of rough cut aussies like ‘The Angels’ having a few of their tracks covered by Great White!!! ‘Can’t Shake It’ Track # 4 off Hooked is another ‘Angels’ cover song

[@richga]

I saw em while they were supporting Once Bitten...guessing it would have been '86? I got Mark Kendall's autograph, he was the coolest.

[@toddrennie4961]

Jack Russell and Mark Kendall are Great White

[@marklarose8600]

mega man

[@johndrake2729]

Big Mark!

[@conorhill9758]

A very good cover, i personally prefer Great White's version but The Angels is great too

[@loblolly777]

It is a very good cover and well done. But it does seem a little sanitized. The original wasn't just about being pissed off or hungover and not wanting to go to work. It was about a much deeper paranoia about facing the world. Watch a live version (or even the music video) and The Angels nail that wild-eyed paranoia perfectly. Just a little more manic which was Doc Neeson perfectly.

[@conorhill9758]

loblolly777 The original is a lot more raw, sad news about Doc

[@JoeCrotchburger]

shame they were so goddamn amazing and now all anyone relates to them is the station night club fire..... brother and i almost hit that show that night

[@marklarose8600]

no saving up allllll night

[@toddrennie4961]

Ever been afraid of being fired? Yes I have? Ever been drunk acting stupid? YES!

[@vailplace3606]

What a cutie long black

[@CoyoteDuran1]

*That's actually Tony "Montana" Cardenas. Lorne Black left the band before this performance.*

[@chadmadaxe]

The Angels from Austrailia is the original band to do this song.

[@golfilloz]

[@dinkydao]

Who the hell voted down on this song? One of the people that was burned to death? I would have voted this up even if I was in that fire!

[@packkkin]

Balls.

[@marklarose8600]

i was hummping my nintendo

[@RandyRhoads806]

@mtlhdguitar my dad has a vhs of it cause he recorded it off of mtv when it first was shown

[@greekshark]

@mtlhdguitar I wonder the same thing my friend!

[@2112VIKING]

Check out GREAT WHITE ROCKS . COM Up to date info on the band.....they're still layin' it down!

[@lacika67]

is this concert on DVD ??

[@bsufilms]

@bezman116 glam? i dont see them wearing lipstick

[@mtlhdguitar]

Is there a DVD of this concert????

[@tonizaleski7074]

I mean rocks

[@tonizaleski7074]

I am confused?

[@giannaluva65]

i wouldnt call it glam metal, id say glam rock, but yea viva glam rock!!

[@cass3765]

u mean aside from the guys who wrote n released it originally? The Angels.

[@bretnewman8296]

No, I mean from Great White's recorded song on their album. I already know they didn't write the song. I believe this is a cover song from the band you mentioned, and they are from Austrailia. I heard the original, and it sounded pretty bad. Great White improved it, or you could say modernized it.

[@udz24]

So terrible that they have to be associated with such a tragedy

[@russianrican1]

This is Glam Metal??? Have some RESPECT!!!!!Great White is no Glam Metal!!!

[@tonizaleski7074]

No one wants to face the day
