Streetheart - Under My Thumb

[@devious187]

One of the best covers ever... This is how you take someone else's song and make it your own... RIP Kenny Shields, Winnipeg represent, yo!

[@bobcaygeon4533]

You think this is good. Check out their cover of Tin Soldier by the Small Faces. It is incredible.

NOKOMIS represent. The home town

[@susanmichele]

This song, and More than a Feeling by Boston were, and still are, my favourites from my teenage years❤ Please take me back😢

[@mark.victorbrown849]

I'll join you for that ride,some of the best times and music ever, I saw lighthouse and streetheart in the Springhill ice arena in Springhill Nova Scotia 50 years ago now, I was just 13 then but for the next 30 years or so..what a time ❤❤❤❤

[@ashwhite2827]

My dad just showed me this song... and I can't believe it....

[@michaelgmcauliffe]

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE BASS LINE!!!

[@TheRecordSaver]

All hail the "Spider"!

[@metalvixen8261]

Love the stones but Like so many of the other Canadian bands of that time70's/80's ,they were soooo underrated and deserved a hell of alot more credit for their amazing talent.I'm not afraid to say Streethearts version blows the stones out of the park!!!

[@Michelleclouds]

Canadian rock is unparalled. Streetheart was/is amazing.

[@mangore623]

Correction: Canadian rock in the 70s-80s was unparalleled. Everything afterwards was shit.

[@TheTempleOfBoom]

Saw them quite a few times , once at the Curtis Hotel , in Wpg. They blew the roof off the joint , World Class talent .

[@vincenzowolfen4583]

​@@mangore623I absolutely am with you on this! I mean think of the vocals of Holly Woods & Toronto- another 90% Canadian band so underrated! Too bad Kenny is gone and Holly has retired! WTF were did my youth go?!!

[@thegearhead]

INCREDIBLE remake. Still sounds super-fresh even from 1979... thanks for the post!!

[@davekiesman2202]

..and amazing you still see this opinion 12 years after it was mentioned. Yes a very good tune.

[@zombiegator1]

June 1, 2023 and first time I've ever heard this cover, it's freaking amazing and as a pretty mediocre bass player myself, he's blowing me away!

[@cymbals49]

Truly believe they are the most underrated Canadian Bands of all time!!!!

[@DonLafontaine62]

+John Rollings I'm of the opinion that MOST canadian bands are seriously underrated. Kim Mitchell / Max Webster (a 2fer) The Headpins Saga (Now THERE's a tight band) Honeymoon Suite Helix (I suppose) Lee Aaron Harlequin Mahogany Rush April Wine You can't really slot Triumph in here, but Rik Emmett has a great solo discography There are plenty more where these came from.

[@johnathanraye5346]

that's a very long and distinguished list. That's what we do.... underrated !

[@dougraddi908]

Why are they underrated tell me why

[@welson186]

Platinum Blonde are extremely underrated, actually in my opinion they’re the best Canadian band.

[@dorisbilley8991]

@@DonLafontaine62 don’t forget kick Axe!! Also Prism before Ron Tabak died, Loverboy. There are so many, Rush, Triumph, BTO, The Guess Who, Steppenwolf, The Guess Who, Bon Jovi, Chilliwack, Trooper. So many!! Oh and don’t forget Toronto!

[@deandunn-q1o]

Great voice and band. Another Canadian music legend.😊😊😊

[@sk8249]

Easily the best cover of this song done to date.

[@donbennett3835]

Kenny has brought a lot of Joy to Canadian's. May you be singing in paradise. R.I.P. Kenny

[@lostsignalspodcast]

There is still a big sign up in his home town in Nokomis Saskatchewan.

[@dorisbilley8991]

Amen! He did for sure all his albums were hits

[@eleeter]

The song is simply outstanding, pure clean rock n roll, no extras just raw, loud and great.

[@jimjimjeroo0827]

Best and most underrated cover of all time.

[@trentoleksuik534]

HUGE influence on me growing up...Spider is one killer bassist..great song, great band..too many Canadian bands get overlooked, not sure why, but still true to this day..

[@paulmitchell-f6m]

Spider! IYKUK

[@bradrollier5983]

Love the guitar solo with the solid drumming last third of the song. 40 plus years later, still a goto song. Love this band still.

[@judym1964]

The best cover of this song ever done...even by the original singers (Sorry, Stones...) RIP Kenny Shields...you had one of rock's greatest and distinctive voices :'(

[@MrPatrick1414]

Guitar solo is amazing...the emotion behind is what makes it

[@MystGames]

+Johnny K Have you even heard the bass?

[@zacharymutter8432]

@@MystGames the bass solo is definitely better lol Spider is a God

[@MrRedlacc]

absolutely THEE best version anywhere including the stones. Streetheart mad love from a fellow Canuck.

[@theshipsdrummer]

one of the tastiest guitar solo's I've heard!

[@leftcoaster67]

Bass and Drums are pretty damn good too.

[@stevenlyons1459]

Wow,first time of hearing this version,blows the Stones right out of the window. Thanks for the upload.

[@ronryan7398]

One of the best covers of all time

[@chrishails4263]

An old man here now, 54, but this is the only version of this song I knew. The 'Stones did it too? Yeah, I don't care. Damn I love Streetheart.

[@bixby9797]

Turning 60 and this is the version I always think about.

[@Chodove]

Mr. Kenny Shields passed away today. R.I.P. Kenny. You will be sadly missed.

[@ingridolson7175]

I saw Streetheart in Red Deer, Alberta, in summer 1978. They were touring with Chilliwack. What a great show. So Canadian. :-)

[@shawnobray2202]

Oh yeah? How about Toronto, Harlequin and Streetheart? Sorry eh.

[@geoffdennis9234]

Oh yeah how about Streetheart opening for Rush Hemisphere's tour in zee Hammer! Sorry not sorry. Lol

[@acdc14terrace]

This is a really good cover, I've always thought why this didn't get popular.

[@RickBursey]

R.I.P. Kenny.... Great Voice and a great band....

[@joebird1554]

Was driving today. This song comes on and then the next thing I know it is cranked way up. Just an awesome version.

[@craigerz2198]

Workin in a busy nightclub back in the late 80's and when the DJ played this it was time to convene in the beer cooler for a quick burner to let us reset. This wonderful version will always remind me of those crazy days

[@24tippper]

One of the top Canadian rock tunes EVER! TRULY AMAZING!!!

[@IveGotTheNuts]

Even Mick Jagger once stated that he liked Streethearts version of this track over his own.

[@TheMattgerrie]

How could you not

[@robertivers4200]

Interesting

[@PhilipMireau]

.........., the sincerest form of flattery.

[@daoilers1]

one of the coolest guitar solos ever

[@bashafacin]

I have to say they did a sick job with the cover, blew it away!

[@vidycz15]

Totally agree, I like the funky beat they added

[@sobeys1000]

Streetheart is one of the best canadan bands ever, seen them at the Flin Flon Trout Festivel, back in the 80s, it was awsome.I grew up in Thompson Manitoba in the 70s, they were touring arond the province back then.

[@freakshow771]

spider is a beast on the bass

[@brownsugarkush]

I'm quite obsessed with this song right now.

[@terrymacdonald2864]

They played the St. Vital Hotel in Winnipeg a few times. I rememeber "Hurricane" Hannah tearin' it up on the lead guitar. Man, that was sooooo long ago. Thanks for posting.

[@theoilersgrub]

Would vote for best cover of all time. Streetheart rocks. Balding dudes that get er done. Love them forever.

[@faainspector9699]

Six and a half minutes of ear candy...........lovin it..

[@Jelly-wo3so]

Couldn't agree with you more ! was just turning 16 when this came out. Loved it then, still love it now !

[@roquefortfiles]

Dare i say it but i do believe Street Heart bested the Stones on this version.

[@ursanator]

The Stone's version is too slow. This is much better

[@roquefortfiles]

***** Is that a fact? Wow.

[@Tiyod123]

Really ?

[@leeandrew9596]

Dare dare I did!......I told kenny some years ago. RIP brother

[@STEAMBOLTANNIE]

STONES SUCK

[@davidjala8221]

This ma just be the best cover of any song ... ever. I like the Stones original, but Streetheart's version will have you cranking the volume for the entire song, especially toward the end when the band really starts rockin'.

[@dartanya2]

This flight tonight ?

Rest In Peace Kenny you are missed by so many in Canada 🇨🇦 we love you and streetheart ❤️

[@yvesmartin8424]

One of the greatest challenge for bass players. That bass line is just amazing !

[@PincherVoice]

+Yves Martin Indeed! An incredibly tasty arrangement all around too. Love how the guitar solo builds, vocals are great, waaaay better than the Stones version.

[@SteveC-Shaman]

+Yves Martin Not easy for sure but I know of some that are more difficult, believe me. It's difficult mostly because it's a jam, and you can really mess up a jam. ;) The runs up and down the scale @ 4:15-ish are definitely not simple but once mastered should present no major issue. That said i am now going to add this version to my practice list. LOL

[@DirkPauwels-e6x]

JUST GREAT , heard it today the first time and replayed it non stop....

[@drdb1]

RIP Kenny Shields. First concert I ever saw was Streetheart in the early early 80's, was one of the better ones, got to see him a few more times over the years. Always good to have to hometown band.

Better version than the Stones. More active and upbeat.

[@cdigdawg]

I heard this on the radio -Q104 Halifax - last weekend. Hadn't heard it in decades. Took me back to partying in the 80s, great nights, great friends, great music, lots of beer, campfires on the beach. Where the hell does the time go?

[@foresakentonone4148]

Got hooked on this tune while working in Saskatchatoon Canada. Loved it ,Big Sugar,and yes even Sloan.

I first heard this amazing music back in 1984 when I was 14 and it's always been with me since as there isn't aything near close to it for me, love it.

[@ifyoueverfind78]

i loved this when I was a young lad, and it had just came out as a single.. I was like eleven or twelve, and glued my ears to am and fm...this was a hit, I loved it...I had not heard the stones version yet....I love the stones, and not to be blasphemous, this version is better than the stones, original!! the solo is also incredible..!!

[@alaindoiron6042]

Dans les top album de mon adolescence, en tant que batteur , wow , que de souvenirs , la bass sur cet album, surtout sur Action ...Rewow !!!

[@geoffreybennett86]

Just an amazing cover man. It is currently being heard over a small area of Dallas.. my neighbors must love me.

[@peterkastellanos7475]

They are from Winnipeg my town Lucky to see them live Check out their original songs , just as good if not better Thx

[@dorisbilley8991]

As a teenager and a young adult,, most of my favourite bands We’re Canadian. Go Canada we have a lot of talent. It’s interesting that the guy who started Loverboy was one of Streethearts original musicians. Don’t ask me the name now lol.

[@sttaw4]

You bet...this is the best version of Under my thumb... :)

[@Purple1984Rain]

I love the Stones song but this cover sounds so much better. It has that big 70's arena glam rock feel to it. Fantastic bass line, nasty guitar solo and the pounding drums sound incredible. They all come together perfectly with the piano chords added in at 4:02 too..

[@cherylc3696]

I like both versions. However, I like this one a little better. Its a bit more upbeat.

[@davidjohnsen3245]

Agreed

[@morgbug1]

somewhere out there is an interview with Mick saying that this version was vastly superior. One of my favorite songs of all time.

[@homomorphic]

I agree, the best version ever made

[@tophershort7005]

Right!!!

[@revertinotse8582]

Don t know why? I love this version better than the Rolling Stones

[@darkdefender1111]

Same here friend. I love the Stones but this version is so great!

[@plznotnoworever1878]

Agree 100% Less gritty and more soulful

[@tonybrown8006]

Yeah I agree. I'm a huge Stones fan, but this version totally rocks !

[@johntoews9346]

It’s the keyboards! Much bouncier version than The Stones. I saw Streetheart many times, over the years. This song was a highlight of any Streetheart show, of course. Rest In peace, Kenny Shields.

[@Zamnek]

It's one of my favorite cover songs. It's terrific!

[@looseink1]

Totally agree. THE BEST Rolling Stones cover EVER!

To this day....moves me!!! Deeply.

[@carolinebellabella]

OMG..brings back so many memories! HAPPY ONES!!!

[@Cavalier1025]

Had a chance to see these guys in the late 70's before they got famous. We drove about an hour and when we got there we found out tickets were 7 bucks. 7 BUCKS???!!! so we didn't go in. Stood on the sidewalk and listened for 15 min then left. lol. At that time gas was a buck a gallon and beer was $5/doz. About 6 months later they released their first album and we heard how good they actually were. But on the bright side, the beer sure tasted good. Fun times. haha

[@TheGliverpool]

Rest In Peace Kenny Shields

[@ChatDEau69]

Saw them in Regina, Saskatchewan. They put on one of the best rockin' shows I've ever seen. And I've seen The Nuge!

[@rich774411]

Went to see Streetheart at Barn 22 near Grayson SK in '85 or 86. Don't remember much of that night, but good times. :) Still my favourite band!
