Every time I listen to her version. I get teary. The emotion and the subtle changes of the lyrics makes this song much more deep. Even though her time with Tom ended. You can tell that she still loved him. She sang this live with her chest!! In a way , even though they are friend’s , I think this is her way of closure. It’s very bittersweet. And relatable.
I was on a bus in Wichita Kansas and a lady driving it said she used to babysit The Singer of the band. I called her a liar and she pulled me off the bus with my ear
As much as Joe was Mad as a box of frogs back then as soon as he straps on that guitar and starts singing it’s like BANG there it is, Absolute God given talent, None of these muppets today could touch him even when he was not in the best shape he still had that Voice, I think he was very Underrated as a Singer and even as a songwriter, he wrote some fantastic tunes especially with the James Gang ❤️👍🏻🇺🇸⭐️🌞
really only liked this album- every freakin' track....The Very Dab. Only a fan of a few other songs of their on other album. But this one is great all the way through. Yeah like Dee Jay below said....there is a longer version on their record.
In the 60s and 70s it was very popular with teenagers who wanted to park. But the place always creeped me out. No matter what time of day I went there, I felt like something was watching me. And I wasn't alone in the feeling. I remember walking down there with a group of friends, and most of them said let's get out of here because they felt it too. Any sightings of Bigfoot down in the valley were usually around that area. I know of at least one murder down there. It was in the late 60s or early 70s, and it was someone I went to summer school with.
The documentary failed to mention that Joe and 'Foxy' were students at Kent State Univ. where Joe flunked out after a year or so, that they began their career playing the bars in Kent. In fact, the cover photos on 2 of their first albums, 1 with the Kent waterworks in the background and James Gang Rides Again where they asked local biker gang to borrow their hog Harleys for the photo op and we're drunk as usual. Perhaps a recording scout first spotted them at Peabody's in the Flats in West Cleveland but they began careers and gained a following in Kent bars. I know, I was there until 1973. Chrissie Hine(Pretenders) came from just down the road in Cuyaga Falls. Michael Stanley, Tracy Chapman, Devo all came out of the Akron/Cleveland area. Those were the days and we rocked in N.E.Ohio and birthed much musical talent. As with Jack Cassidy & Normal (Jefferson Airplane) who established a music clinic- school at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio...their old stomping grounds. Athens also known for their bad ass Meags County weed.
Thank you Joe, Jimmy and Dale for the great show in Columbus this past Sunday night to support our Military Veterans. James Gang is a CLASS ACT. Joe you lived in Columbus for only a short while in the mid to late 1950s but it was great to hear my/our hometown named a street after you and the mild fall weather inspired you to write “Indian Summer” And whenever I find myself on Clark State Road I will recall your history lesson that the city of Gahanna Ohio was founded by your great grandfather named Clark. What a cool story. And Joe hope you have a Happy Birthday on November 20.
