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
@@jeffyounger8092 I had a 70 Dodge Dart GT 340 with Clarion tape deck . EQ booster and 6x9 speakers. Making 250 bucks a week bring home. No shortage of babes to take cruising. I was on top of the world !
lifelong chronic smoker sadly one month ago in August 2019 said he was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer. one month later he checks out for that great gig in the sky
Absolutely. Hadn't heard this song in years. Was actually traveling thru West Virginia and heard it on the radio. Fell in love with it all over again. Great older tune.
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
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.*
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
I saw him a year ago in Cleveland at the Hard Rock...man did he have a lot of energy and the crowd (sold out of course) was amazing...we sang along to every second of the show and this song (my favorite) was one of the show ender's...RIP $Man! You rocked us with your music and your love!
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!
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 !
Eddie's got his own sound I hear no billy/rod in him, he has a distinct New Yorker singing voice, fabulous, he is better then billie + rod put together & then some! ++ ++ Eddie Money ++ rocks
This guy was cool, I had a friend in the 80's that looked almost identical to Eddie Money- that close - 4 guys in Austin Texas living in a one bedroom apartment - but we Teased Billy Truba about looking like Eddie Money, hell the Joke was on us it got him a lot of TLC - Eddie Money was great!
Frank Nicotero I never hear this song. I always head shakin or two tickets. I haven't heard this since the 90s I totally forgot it till I heard him play it live a few days ago
Eddie used to play at the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz California every year to open up summer! It was a free concert on the beach and it was always a blast!
You were great , Eddie... Seen you in Chicago .... 1978 The Loops Day in the Park ... Camisky Park.... White Sox Park ... Great Job , Eddie ... R.I.P.....
Jeffrey Gladden I live in Oklahoma but back when I started driving big rigs in 1981 at the age of 18 for my Dad’s trucking company I made deliveries all over the San Diego area. I remember El Cajon. I remember having a couple of stops on Fletcher Parkway. I remember when Eddie Money hit the big time about 1978 when I was in High School. He kicked ass! 👍
God rest your soul, dear man. You will be forever missed. You were always kind when I met you after the shows. I have your signature you signed on my forearm forever immortalized with a picture. Thanks for your special love of your Detroit fans. 💗💗💗💗💗
Rest in peace money man we're losing the best of the best there's no good music left we just have videos and tapes from the 70s 80s and 90s anything after that is pure crap
His facial expressions. His body language just make this perfect. What a great song. I was too young to ever to see you play in your prime but my young kids (age 3 and 5) love your music. Keeping good music alive 🤘🏻
Woke up this morning with this awesome tune in my mind I had to listen to it again and again brings back good memories RIP Eddie Money thanks for the Song
Seen eddie pull up at santa cruz in his custom motor home yelled at him eddie whats up he smiled n wavied❤cool cat❤miss him great entertainer made us laugh every time his plates said money man nice never forget❤
Eddie's 1st album was in my 8 TRACK case that got me to school & back, in the 11th & 12th grades, 1976-'77. NEVER forgot him, and finally saw him at a Seafood Festival , live 12 years ago. His Daughter is gorgeous, and CAN sing. May our God bless her, so close, performing to Daddy, as well as his other children.
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.
My 💜 favorite song by him absolutely 🌹💕❤️❤️💕💙 for anyone who just has heard the hits please go back and dig up some deep cuts like this nothing but respect 🕊️ and lots of 🎶💕 to all
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.
