It's one hell of a song. I was just being born when this song came out. It definitely is one of those songs you wish there was an ∞ setting on the volume dial =) We need a rebirth of rock in the next decade-a neo-rock and roll that pays homage to this remarkable genre. Truly talented musicians wrote epics like these, like Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven or Pink Floyd & countless other towering talents back when music had a soul and heart like no other. =) God I want our triumphalism of the of the days before y2k back. It seemed like the world was becoming a bitchin place where we could do anything and _we could sell sanctuary_

I saw this video when I was working security at the Ritz rock/dance club in NYC in the 80's. I loved it. Over the years I forgot who the band was, what the title of the song was, what even the melody was. I wondered and watched out that I might hear this song again even once for 40 years. I just knew that I *loved that song I had heard. Then, I was sitting in a bar watching the last Super Bowl...and viola!! They played it as the soundtrack during the end of a quater leading up to a commercial break! I yelled out "What is the name of this song!!!" And more than 1 person then yelled the title back to me. I found it! After 40 years, now I'm finally happy.
