About St. Petersburg College:
In 1927, St. Petersburg College (then known as St. Petersburg Junior College) became Florida's first private, non-profit, two-year school of higher learning located in downtown St. Petersburg. Full accreditation followed in 1931 and in 1948 SPC became a public college.
In June 2001, SPJC officially became St. Petersburg College when Florida's governor signed legislation making it the first community college in Florida to offer four-year degrees. On Dec. 11, 2001, the college received the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools' accreditation to offer courses leading to bachelor's degrees.
In 2002, St. Petersburg College began offering courses leading to bachelor's degrees in Education, Nursing and Technology Management. The college's commitment to its two-year curriculum, which has earned it wide recognition and annually wins it high national rankings, remains as strong as ever.
Today, SPC has eight learning sites throughout Pinellas County and recently became the first college in Florida to offer a four-year degree in Dental Hygiene. This program's offerings augment its two-year program, which has been in operation since 1963. SPC added four-year degrees in Veterinary Technology, Public Safety Administration and Orthotics and Prosthetics in 2005.

Im 71. These guys are still in my rotation.

[@drvee1983]

I can’t believe he hit the vocals on this after all these years. Great musicians and band. If you don’t remember this tune, you’re too young. If you do remember it, be glad to still be here. I am. Thanks for posting.

[@wilhelmrogue1]

Good job on the vocal, rick rocked we all know but my man here hit all the notes and then of course jock..well nuff said...the whole band rocked..

[@cocarr1]

Saw them in 1980 in Portland, OR opening for Heart.

[@StevenCharlesJazz]

This has always been one my favorite Firefall tunes, & they do a good job of it here. Not sure why it's called "acoustic", since it's still electric guitar & bass, & they've always had one acoustic guitar....

[@edhalfen7380]

Still hits even the high notes...Great band still....

[@donaldlariviere]

it wouldn’t be “still” lmao, he never sang it originally. it was rick, who’s no longer in the band.

[@leewilliams7252]

Manitou Boys makes good in music...

[@danielreiss1156]

Rythym guitar player and vocal were good.

[@riffmon]

Nice old PRS.

[@lingsto195]

They should be like the Doobie Bros, and others, put together a working band, and play note for note like the albums... that's what people want

[@acdeucee]

@reisling57 I agree

[@elizabethtodd5267]

No, Rick is supposed to sing.;.not the same

[@barbhansen4430]

Who's the lead singer

[@lobo81865]

I'm sorry, but no Rick Roberts, no Firefall.

[@barbhansen4430]

Who is the lead singer?

[@mdhunter03]

Steven Weinmeister - guitar, keyboards, vocals (1993-2014) I believe Rick Roberts originally sang lead on this tune.guitar, vocals (1974-1981, 1989-1992)

[@chocloditelensman]

Not one of their better versions.

[@danielreiss1156]

The lead in the recorded version is so much better! Actually very disappointed, all aspects of this song do not do justice to what made the original recording so great!

[@danielreiss1156]

I will go as far as saying "they suck"! They absolutely ruined a great song! Dragged it out with overplaying sucky leads on the guitar, drum solo, etc. Obviously they are starved for attention and lost recognition!

[@hudsonriver3188]

great point lingsto195 - I don't like their sound live at all - was never a great fan of firefall and live doesn't work for me.

[@barbhansen4430]

Who is the lead singer?

[@davec3901]

Steve Weinmeister
