I grew up loving metal bands, going to see KISS/Def Leppard this wednesday. Now as I get older, just turned 46 I find myself enjoying bands like the BeeGees, I watched a concert of theirs on PBS a while back and was blown away with how good they were musically and vocally.

When I was racing Jet Ski's, we had to have a song to show up to the line with before the finals....so....this is the song they chose for me....LOL! (They pulled together of mix of it and belted it on the big outdoor speakers)

It fit actually and was a dang lot of fun!

While I was teaching my band program and we made it to MN Boy's Hockey State again, we had just changed the schools mascot from "Indians" to "ThunderHawks" (I know, what the hell is a ThunderHawk?)

Well, I sat down and did a pep band arrangement of this tune to get the audience rocking with us....

Should have seen the look on the audience members faces when we started to belt this out with a 180 piece crazy full blown pep band!

They still use this arrangement to this day, and we have other bands trying to get it....

Get's my throttle finger itchy :)

This is one of my favorite albums from back in the day. I was in the school band and we played a couple of these classic songs. I loved it when I heard what ELP did with it when I heard it.
