[@patricksullivan9452]

The first Montrose record. A hard rock masterpiece.

[@ensinitas]

Denny Carmassi !!! Met him in his Heart days when I was playing in a club in a hotel they were staying at. They came up to our club after their show and Denny said he wanted to sit in with us. Went to hand him sticks and the set, he said no, I wanna play your trumpet. He picked Kansas City and we played it! Blew my mind!!!!

[@tylermorrison7051]

I saw the Montrose reunion in St. Louis with Ronnie, Sammy, Bill, and Denny. Good stuff.

[@bangyahead1]

Rocky Candy is one of the groovenist riffs ever, and I expect it will remain so for many years to come. Ronnie Montrose was a beast.

[@vickicsurbs444]

MONTROSE 🤘

[@jamesspalten5977]

Joe is one of the all time greats but, Ronnie was no slouch.... In some ways better than Joe... just different...

[@Cuisinart619]

Ronnie is saddle missed. May he R.I.P.

[@typergirl2]

YES!!! As soon as I hear the drums and opening licks, I’m 18 again. 😮

[@donwheeler1208]

Sammy has aged but his voice hasn’t… one of the few older rockers who can make that claim.

[@daviddefigueiredo6018]

I don't think he's aged at all! He looks terrific! Still got hair colour also

[@davidbacajr564]

Damn Staight! Ronnie Montrose and Sammy Hagar, winning combo.

The Montrose album this song comes from has got to be one of the greatest of all time. And the Red Rocker and Ronnie Montrose crafted a masterpiece !!!!! 🎸

[@stevefalletti1885]

THAT ALBUM MONTROSE ROCKED THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT BACK IN THE 70s EVERY SONG ON IS A MASTERPIECE 🤘💯👍✌🎸🎸🎶🎵🎼🎹🥁🎚🎙🔊📀

[@jahone1211]

I like that Joe doesn't over play on this, very nice rendition of the original.

[@malcolmwinfield3506]

Totally agree. Plays it straight probably because it's a masterpiece on its own.

[@princevultan6589]

First rock and roll song I ever learned to play on the drums. I was playing big band, swing and jazz because my grandfather wanted me to be the next Gene Krupa or Buddy Rich. I wanted to be the next Denny Carmassi, Don Brewer, John Bonham and Ginger Baker!! And even with arthritis in my wrists and neck I can still play this all the way through. Thanks Sammy, Ronnie, Denny and Bill Electric Church for such great memories!

[@johnreilly8672]

One my first tunes on drums also! Loved that band.

[@vh8765]

Without a doubt some of this life’s rock icons. Sammy Hagar will be remembered forever.

[@pilsnrimgaard2507]

Sammy is one of those amazing dudes that can better with age not worse like some. Rock on Sammy!

[@danschneider9921]

Too bad the sound guy didn't have his kit mixed or miked worth a crap. No justice

🎵Bill "Electric" Church-bass🎼 Denny Carmassi awesome original drummer 🥁. Nothing can beat Ronnie's signature lead on the original, but Joe is such a grand guitarist, he actually compliments the song quite well🎶🎸!!

Sammy still gave Ronnie props. Front of the stage. Legend

[@Bryan-pl5km]

I first saw Montrose in 73 during their first album tour. They were the second act of a three-act show with Dave Mason as the headliner, and it was done at the Santa Monica Civic auditorium in Los Angeles. The opening act was a british band called toe fat. When Montrose came out they blew everybody away, but Mason still schooled and ruled. He is another very underrated guitar player and even more underrated singer-songwriter. I have been a rock fan since I can remember starting at age 9 and my first album was rubber sole, second was the first Black Sabbath album and believe it or not sweet baby James by James Taylor. From then it just went on to cream Hendricks and got heavier with every purchase. I love them all and I'm so glad that they are not lost to time

[@kennethmarchesani9823]

Love to see this whole show.

[@jamessutherland5107]

Wow. Still killin it Saw Montrose with Slade and someone else, like 1976? St Louis at some theatre. Sammy rocks.

[@richardwhite7789]

Rest in peace Ronnie

[@newyork6028]

the 1st Montrose album is the best. Montrose played w Edgar winter at 15

[@toneyisaiah408]

Montrose debuted in 1973 on Warner Bros Records.

[@pilsnrimgaard2507]

Denny's the man! Took over for Derosier in the eighties in Heart and took them to new levels of stardom. Plays with such solid time and passion.

[@timbrown2637]

Derosier is a WAY better drummer!

[@chiefjayhox]

Sammy Hagar is by far the fine wine of rock and roll....

[@larryklawiter9168]

One of the great voices in rock….aging well.

[@PaddleAsia]

I saw Montrose back in the early 70s on the first album tour... I went to a shitload of concerts back in the day. This was one of the best.

[@brianauger1815]

I saw Montrose opening for Brian Auger and Elvin Bishop at Winterland....amazing...certainly challenged Zepplin's rock and roll crown ...I still think that Sammy is equally if not a better rock vocalist than Mr. Plant & Mr. Daltry ... he is not even close to retirement!!! Just sayin'

[@rocknroller77]

Brian Auger for real. It's those curly haired blond beasts 👍

[@robertpeeblerwithinsound]

Sammy, you are truly a fn badass. I love this tune. It vibrates my inards
