TOPPOP: Eddie Money - Give Me Some Water

[@johndelvisco4528]

For those who don't know, His hits were one thing but you have to go listen to the rest of the music that didn't make it on the BIG LIST. Some really great music that was never heard over the air waves

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

yep just like the Doobie Brothers just like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and more. don't get the album's you just get the cliff notes.

[@julienneleone7046]

Amen to that

[@karlgriswold]

I do!

Yea. John,. The. whole. Eddie Money / Eddie. Money. Album. is. good,. not. just. Baby. hold. On / 2. Tickets. actually. the. other. songs. Rock. 🤔

I was in my twenties when it came out. And he had a bunch of good songs but this was my favorite too and I would always laugh picturing him watching a Clint Eastwood movie while I wrote it. LOL rip Eddie

Saw eddie do this one (my Favorite) at harbor island on the mouth of hillsborough river, we were there in a boat, obstructed by massive speakers, Eddie came around back of them to sing a few verses for average non paying people in the boats, I've never forgotten that generous gesture, What a cool cat!

[@Soylntgrnisppl]

Eddie was the purest definition of a true "Blue Collar" Rock 'N' Roller.

[@nimrod9671]

I saw Eddie play this live from 5 feet away at the Cains Ballroom in Tulsa 1981. He rocked the place !

[@mkay1957]

I saw him 3 times in Bay Area clubs right before his first album came out, and then after that 4 or 5 more times at larger venues. He was always good live. Too bad cigarettes and drugs cut his life short.

[@michaeldavidhernandez3560]

Some Him at the LUCAS COUNTY FAIR. MAUMEE OHIO. AWESOME SAUCE

As he sang, " Everybody rock and roll the place..."

[@Rockit442]

Eddie Mahoney was a guest at my girl friends party back in December of 1983. Being that Gimme Some Water was and is one of my all time favorite tunes I asked Eddie what inspired him to write it. *He told me that he wrote it in less than ten minutes after watching a western on late night T.V.*

[@MrSkinnn]

NICE. The writing on this song is good stuff.

[@timpenfield5]

That's so cool, because that's what it sounds like, 1o minutes, damn, 10 minutes well spent

[@robbiefrentz9427]

Wow what a great memory thanks for sharing it

[@debrapetres1617]

I saw Eddie in Rapid City together with 38 Special in summer of '84. He opened and sang a great set with his excellent band. After his show, he went back to his hotel (Alex Johnson Hotel) and walked into the upstairs club they called AJ's. The band playing recognized him and they all but handed over their instruments. I missed that but the word was he played another hour set for those lucky folks. I reckon that is exactly the kind of guy he was. RIP Eddie, you were great!

Came here to hear him again. Man I am broken as all fans are....God Bless Eddie's Family and Fans...I saw him 1 time 6 years ago...He was so stellar and perfect!! So good on that stage!! I have been a fan since 77 and his debut was my very 1st 8 track....I still have it! R.I.P. Money Man...😢😢😢your songs will resonate in our hearts and the future hearts of new fans FOREVER....WE LOVE YOU!

I heard this song for the first time in close to 30 years this morning. I was instantly transported to the passenger seat of my dad’s Isuzu Rodeo heading up the mountain to look for arrowheads. Such an awesome song!

[@axdesho]

I agree. I am a great fan of Eddy money and miss him greatly. He used to live just 10 minutes away from me. I miss him so much, but his music lives on forever.

[@angelalvarez212]

The late but the great Eddie Money, as far as I know the only ex police officer on the planet that hit the music stardom in the US and around the world! he was a very talented artist! so charismatic!

[@krisscanlon4051]

Love the doubled vocals on the chorus. EM was tough

[@danegerismyfirstname3359]

Sound track to my life.....saw you at knockti harbor inn ....you were badass! Thankyou eddie

[@johnfescemyer8536]

One of my all time favorite rockers because I got to meet him at my job. I saw a guy walking around in the employee area in our hotel. I confronted him. He turned around and I was floored. All I could say was, you're Eddie Money!!! He smiled and said yeah. He told me that he hated just sitting in a hotel room. So he likes to walk around talking to people. So I took him and introduced him to my banquet staff. They flipped out. He talked with them and signed autographs. He was such a cool, nice guy. He loved his fans and appreciated them.

I heard this song riding back from the beach on a classic rock station. I don't think I'd ever heard it before but the voice sounded familiar and it had a great chorus. I looked it up and it's Eddie Money, how about that ? why isn't this played as much as "Shakin" or "2 tickets to paradise" ? It rocks !

[@daviddemille1586]

Saw Eddie in 1977, Champagne Jam, Atlanta, Georgia--my first concert. (Incidentally, water was not being conspicuously consumed.) His performance was intense and fun, however. Great memory. Well, an interesting one, to be honest.

[@williamstamper442]

Epitome of the 80s. This man came around Detroit 20 years later and people still loved him. His target market might have dwindled by then but he was still remembered. I remember the morning radio shows live with him in concert years after his peak and he was a humble and likeable feller. He kinda made it at this point, then he was gone. It's March 2023 and the world is upside down. I was thirsty and thought of this song and had to search and play it and I'm somewhat aligned with the world again for at least a little bit.

I agree completely...husky rasp of Rod with more of that east coast songwriter keening tone Billly has...very astute post
