You instantly know it is Neal Schon on guitar...his tone is instantly recognizable. Great cover of a fantastic tune!

[@zwastiunburzy3688]

For the age of this clip and considering it's live, the quality of the sound and mix is freakin' amazing! I hope Sammy and Neal continue to rock us for many more years.

[@thomassunkel9229]

Not „considering“. Back then they knew how to play ❤

[@zwastiunburzy3688]

@@thomassunkel9229 I was only talking about the quality of the mix. Their ability and musicianship is without question. I really don't understand how you thought that I was insulting their chops. Of course these guys could play! They still outplay guys less than half their age today. We didn't have one too many 'shrooms today, huh? Read what I wrote again. Sober, this time.

Sammy's voice, Neil's guitar, Bach's music - What can be better!

[@davidsorcher5072]

Really man? I mean, we all know the this classic Procol Harum song was heavily Bach influenced, but you can't credit the band that wrote the song? LOL!

[@davidsorcher5072]

@@GeorgeTel100 LOL! that's pretty funny. First of all, this is not a direct rip of Bach. More inspired by. Secondly, you can't be called out for stealing when you have openly admitted all along what your inspirations were. Gary Booker has always been very clear about that. "If you trace the chordal element, it does a bar or two of Bach's 'Air on a G String' before it veers off. That spark was all it took. I wasn't consciously combining rock with classical, it's just that Bach's music was in me." Here is the Bach piece that is generally cited as the inspiration for the song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX7OnoSim7R9es0 works

[@johnfarrar7448]

Shrieve and Aaronson

[@laardillanerviosa]

This is amazing. Sammy, when he is on, is the man. Love the original but Sammy and Neil just took this and made it theirs. This is one of those classic moments you only get so many of in music (or anything, for that matter). A HSAS reunion would be fun. Maybe with Michael Anthony?

Well at this point in Sammys career he had been in Montrose, a solo artist and this side project when Journey had the singer quit. He had been a performer for almost 20 years... Lmao. I'm sure this scenario had happened many times..

Many musicians believe that this is a Perfect song ever! I guess because it's originally by J.S Bach. I know it was made to this song by Procol Harum (Fisher/Brooker) in 1967 But Neal, Sammy, Kenny n Mike make it even better in here. And I bet if Bach heard Neal's guitar today, he'd love it. HSAS all the way...I loved this band the 1st time I heard them on Q102 Tx best rock...Dallas...good ole days Thanks for posting!

Re the disagreement here between nealkang and swpaul04: You are 100% mistaken, nealkang, and swpaul04 is right. This was not the "Van Halen audition for Sammy" in any way, shape or form. Sammy's audition for VH happened ~ 2 years AFTER this HSAS show when Eddie's Lambourghini (car) broke down and he was at the repair shop talking to the mechanic (Claudio) about how Dave had just split and they were looking for a new singer. Claudio also worked on Sammy's car and said to Eddie, "call Sammy!"

@pugggs I'm not a drummer, but do you know who the drummer is? It's Mike Shrieve from the original Santana band, played at woodstock. Check out the solo during Soul Sacrifice. Shrieve is incredible. Don't judge by a youtube video.

[@decristo1021]

I just bought this cd for five bucks. I loved this tune when it came out when I was in 6th grade. Listening to the whole album Schon wanted to flippin' rock out and he tempered that impulse to forge Journey into the polished, stylized hitmaking machine it was. I love Journey, don't get me wrong. But I think Schon had a Page or a Blackmore inside him and that if this album had broken big, we would never have heard Raised on Radio. He would have been competing with Whitesnake and Def Lep.
