How Long Has This Been Going On. The Guys Downstairs 

Absolutely! I still have some of the old guitars, but the 66 Mustang, 64 Electra 225 convertible, and 69 Delta 88 ragtop are long gone. Those were some fine cars.

Rumble of a big block !!!

Don’t forget the bikini! Great time to be young and alive.

SO TRUE! I had a little Datsun 280ZX. Silver color, back then.. And my FAV CAR is the CAMERO IROC Z28 Beautiful Real Blue color with T-Tops.💙

And nowadays guitars of our generation are vintage

Agreed!

Absolutely Lester ❤

These guys sound great!❤

@@susansmith4749 they sound good for a garage band

Same! Keep on Rocking!!

Thanks! Keep playing!

Damn Good!

70 and digging it

Awesome keep it rocken ❤

Awesome brother…

Thanks. A mystery as well to me. It is song dependent, though.

It’s not unlike juggling while on a unicycle!

It's very hard, but the ones that can do it make it look easy.

Practice,practice, practice.

Good jog guys!!! Wow

We're trying. Mostly just having fun.

i'm 64 today. This is my party .

I’m 59 and I’ve always loved this song. You guys did great!!

Agreed. Born in 1961. Best decades to be growing up! The best music ever and will be played for generations to come. WTF has happened to our country?

@@scottr3141 I'm 63! And you said It! Even if it's kept alive for those of us who was in Highschool Back Then🥰 For Sure My other fav, Was Dream Weaver! 💖

Thanks! Old guys just want to have fun.

I agree with this comment!

Our band in NJ is all 60 something guys and gal and we rock yo….

Too old to carry all that stuff to a gig, but we can still get down the steps to the studio. Thanks.

I suspect that the drummer might take exception to that comment! I, too, am pushing 70 and still playing out regularly. The flesh may be getting a bit weak, but the spirit is still strong!

Now that is funny …..

Hahaha. I play keyboards and have digital gear now. That old Rhodes was too heavy even back in the day.

You got that right!

Thanks!

Me too!

Yeah, he was rock solid.

Me, too!

Thanks! We'll be back soon.

Me 2

Thanks! WCFL in Chicago was my preferred station back in the day.

Me too!

Thanks! We indeed are very "experienced".

OLD FARTS are becoming Cool again !

@@xxllbb55 Ha! It's about time I guess.

@@xxllbb55we may get old bodies, but Our minds stay young…great song, great singing!👏👏👏♥️🌹

You know it, brother. 66 and still gigging

I was 17, working at a college town pizza joint, when this song was on the jukebox. I think I almost wore that 45 out. I still feel like making pizza whenever I hear it today. lol, cheers!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Never! We'll rock until we drop, as they say.

@@guysdownstairsJust found your channel. 👏 You guys are great!! From a 69 yr old lady who loves rock and always will!! You have a new fan. 🙋‍♀️

Thank you!

Thanks! It's fun!

Ha! I think our loud days are behind us.

@@guysdownstairs yea, mine too!

😊😊😊😊.

Love that guy. He makes me smile.

That's Larry. He keeps us all smiling.

5 string bass, too.

Thanks! Check out the original, it's the gold standard.

​@@guysdownstairs I didn't expect that! How do you get that vocal sound? Echo, reverb, but sharp, clear, right on key...jealous!

@@billiambass4308 This was our first attempt and I was just learning. I sent that vocal file to a friend with a "real" studio and he processed it. I'm not sure what he did with it, besides removing the bleed between phrases. I did the overall mix. I will say the vocal sounded much better when I got it back. Since then, my usual approach is compression, reverb, and a touch of delay set to eighth notes. I will attempt Melodyne if needed, but that seems to be a 50/50 thing at my skill level.

I totally feel you there

A metal head who loves soft rock . They didn't call metal , Metal when this song came out .

California? Paul Carrick from Ace is as Yorkshire as they come. Just like Joe cocker and Robert Palmer etc

Love good old Rock and Roll as have old brother that played R and R and my daddy played Old Country so I'm a lover of all good music and you all definitely fit that space glad to find your 🎶 ❤

Thanks!

I agree. Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Thanks for listening!

Ace, a great band and a great classic tune.

Thanks! Nice that somebody, just a bit older than me, enjoyed it.

72, Florida Keys ... Just great!

Thanks for watching!

Cool! Keep at it!

A truly great song. Thanks!

Nobody in this video is gigging out anymore. We've had our share of the bar and grill tour. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! He's a good drummer as well.

Thank you!

Love it!!

It's a killer tune. I think the key is that great Rhodes keyboard sound.

Tasty!

I'm inclined to agree! Thanks.

Too old to actually gig, but can still make it down the steps to the studio.

@@guysdownstairs Put together enough great Covers like this and you won't have to Gig, very wholesome environment, good songs well player. Good Luck with the Channel.

Certainly! Well said!

You are exactly right. I would not trade my teenage years for all of the riches in the world. Great Song !😊

Thanks! I was already a 4 year college graduate when this song came out.

Thanks! I think that's a great plan.

Thanks for listening! Keep at it.

Thanks! We've been covering it since it was top 10.

Thanks! We do too.

Exactly. Round about the 80s I just tuned out.

As a kid from the 70’s I have to agree. My mom was a waitress and her boss would let me have all of the old records from the jukebox. I love the older music!

Thanks! I remember 64, vaguely.

Actually 3 good vocals, and my, "give him the easy part" vocals. Thanks for watching.

@@guysdownstairs The song isn’t complicated but the vocals make it very enjoyable. You guys look like you are enjoying yourselves. Probably friends for many years. I doubt you guys met up on Craigs List.

Thank you!

@@mudderman8620 We've been playing these songs together since they were in the top 10.

@@guysdownstairs It shows. Keep it real and have the time of your lives. Congrats.

Hope you feel better soon. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Larry keeps us all smiling.

Thanks. We've been playing this one since the original first came out.

Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

Hey, us middle-agers have to keep the music going. Thanks!

Thank you. At this point, it's all about fun and love of music for us. Glad you liked it.

So true what you say about the music!

Thanks! I think we did this one in the original key, but it's one of the few,

Me too, and I'm 73! Love this.

Thanks! we had lots of "experience"!
