This band rocks.

Generic greeting,

I've been watching this over and over, basically can't stop rocking out to it. I've tried playing along with it turned up but the quality blows. Does anyone know where and when this was made and if high quality copies exist?

Half way through the lead singer psyches out a back up girl, which is classic.
The dude has a slick voice and rocks out like he's possessed. It's awesome.

The drummer, I think it's Ron Tutt? Skills, he has them.

Anyone know anything?

I come from another generation and I can't help but laugh at his drama yet admire him at the same time. Is it just me or did he seem like he was pretty ripped? Seems a bit weird to do that to another member of any band ( that way) in front of any crowd. Looked like it was all in fun though.
Never the less, what an entertainer. Wish he was still with us.

Thanks for sharing.

At 57 seconds he ad libs a line "shove it up your nose".

I just don't see much of a future for this kind of gyrating stage antics.

My favorite part is the couple blissfully clapping along on *1* and *3* at 3:06. Rolling Eyes

I was in a rock band, and we did an arrangement of this song (Suspicious Minds) The guitar players did solos during the break down... it was loud. I might have a copy of it some where. Awh, the good old days.

I like the part where he spins around, gets dizzy, and just about falls over. (1:40)

Can you believe there is a whole wikipedia article on this song!

That was the best Elvis impersonator I ever saw. You'd think he would have damaged his testicles, especially looking that much like Elvis?

Thank goodness he's still dead. Hopefully? I think he left the building? Besides... It would be far too embarrassing if he was still doing that today. Especially at 350 pounds, in that same outfit.

I was confused? Was he try to imitate John Belushi or was John Belushi trying to imitate him?

Like Rev. Wright says, "If you have white friends...they clap like this here."

I found it again here.

Seriously, do I have to steal this to find a good copy. I'm sick of streaming it. How does someone figure out how to buy this kind of stuff? Masters or whatnot?

Cheers. I couldn't wade into the Elvis community, I wouldn't know a rock from 'a billy.

I want the video.
I don't know if the DVD in the link is what I'm looking for, I don't have the DVD to reference.

Is it?

The DVD in the link has that video from 1970.
