Saw JCM 3 times between 81 and 82.

 

One of my favorite more recent tunes (1998).

There are certain "moods" where this ^ tune comes in handy.

I've always thought the opening to this song would've been the best walkout song for a starting pitcher.

Okay, this song has a highly revered drum track. To this day there's how-to's on it. I love it. What blew me away was Jeff Porcaro in an interview said he was inspired by John Bonham's playing on "Fool In The Rain" from Zep's last effort. Pretty awesome. But the video has some real corn to it, so 80's, lol.

Tons of great '81 summer memories.
