All Righty Then

[DeeringAmps]

A big shout of THANKS to all who took the time to listen and comment; you are all too kind!

I either had to license this over at H. Fox or take it down; chose the latter.

Well done Tom! Cool to hear your already using your freebies! Nice old rock! ??

[noynekker]

Tom . . . really love this, classic, with a beautiful sounding recording, some excellent singing and guitar playing. Did the original sound this good ? Not even going to check, since it's been 50 years of technology advances. Congrats for keeping the past alive into the future !

That wouldn't be the Recreation Park in Long Beach, CA would it?

Nice job on the cover. I like the guitar work and the extra expression you put in the vocals.

@Jacques BoileauThank you, actually I bought Sunset & Lurssen when they first came out (March 2020).
At the time, I pulled this out of the "vault" and used it as a "vehicle" to test them out.

@noynekkerCertainly the performances were far better (Kossoff and Rodgers are two of my favorites).
the mix? I'm not going to "flatter" myself...

I started doing covers as soon as I installed Cakewalk Professional 3.0 in '94? maybe it was early '95.
As Ian Anderson said, I'm "Living in the Past".
Thanks for the kind words.

Recreation Park in Long Beach, CA

Early 70's we played there all the time. I can't remember the name of the "promoter". His dad was a minister, and must have had some "pull"
in local government. He would stage a Golden Gate Park type concert on a fairly regular basis. As far as I know the city never denied
him a permit; thus my thinking his father had some pull.
Much appreciate the review.

@mark skinnerThanks so much, really means a lot ?.

@Bajan BlueI really am a fan, so I sure you know how much I appreciate your kind words.

@KurtSRodgers and Steve Marriott are at the top of my "Top Ten British Vocalists" list; Kossoff is one of the best.
Thanks for being supportive.

@GremThank You! "I would have thrown in some Ride Bell on that last chorus" I get it, I was focused on getting the toms right!

@freddy j "Rogers was quite a showman" Free opened for Blind Faith in '69. I thought "Who is this cocky little b-a-s-t-a-r-d?".
Free was the highlight of the night and I figured out those cocky Brits were.
Thank you so much for the kind words Freddy.

@hsmSunset Studios is a good one to be sure. Thanks for the listen and comments.

Thank you @Makke

@Jim FogleYou are much too kind, thank you.

Thank you @jack c.

 Hey Tom , this was solid. Great job on the vocals and especially the guitars and bass. I loved the breakdown and lead break. I think you nailed it. No overuse of the verbs.   Great job ..   mark

[Bajan Blue]

Hi tom

Great cover - loved the guitar playing and the vocals sounded excellent

I've always liked this track and I've played it often - Cool

[KSband]

Good playing! Paul Rodgers is a tough act to follow for sure.

[Grem]

Great tone on the lead!! This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Love it!!

Going for the second listen.

Now about the plugins:

I don't think you over did the Sunset!! Sounds sweet. And that Kosoff lead sound "and" feel you nailed. 

I would have thrown in some Ride Bell on that last chorus.... but then again... ?

Sounds great t

I remember the amount of airplay that this song used to get "back in the day".  Rogers was quite a showman and I loved this song.  And congratulations, on an absoflippinlutely great cover.  Great guitar playing and you really put some expression in the vocals.  Well done!!!

[Hidden Symmetry]

Enjoyed your version Tom, performance plus use of reverb on the track.

tom, I used to live near Recreation Park at that time.  So you were the guys making all that racket over there?  ?

[Makke]

Cool! Well played version ... great vocs and sounds. 

[Jim Fogle]

Nice.  The mix "feels" appropriate for the genre in general and the song specifically.  Good job on the vocals too!
