[Fester Chugabrew]

A regular tune in my rotation of 5000+

Last time I stopped by Kelly’s there on Revere beach it was a bit of a disappointment. The area though has been built with a whole bunch of new construction to replace the dumpy old wood buildings.

Great tune, man. Thanks for sharing. Can’t remember ever hearing it before and WBCN was the soundtrack of my life in 1976. That was also the Bicentennial year, with the tall ships in Boston and the huge July 4th on esplanade.

[Robert DeLong]

It rose to #91 in Canada, and it sounds like bublegum music to me at any rate.

***Freddie Prinze blew his brains out in an apparent game of Russian Roulette a couple days earlier.***

Depends on which web page you believe. NYTimes and NY Daily News says it was a .32 cal pistol, another says it was a .357 magnum revolver, and this one says it was a was actually a .380 Astra Constable semi-automatic. All agree it was suicide.

***A frigid blizzard moved across the Northeast,***

I remember that one! The weather turned brutally cold in Nov 1976, and January of 1977 the continental US had total cloud cover for the entire month of January. Extreme cold and snow all over the US(Except the Southern Rocky Mountains). This was used as PROOF we were entering THE NEW ICE AGE!

Perhaps one of the most influential pieces of rock music of the 1970s to a certain band or two, this incredible song exploded on the airwaves on several FM stations in late 1976 and early 1977 on progressive rock stations across America.

Exploded? I don't think it was more than a blip on the US charts and didn't get much play on the west coast. First time I heard the song, I thought it might be new Supertramp. One benefit of not being a big hit was it didn't get played to death.

[BillyBonebrake]

I’d have the whole belly clams and would compare the sound to Supertramp or Yes. Remember seeing that album cover in the past but never got past assuming it was a Greg Lake solo album.

Of course this Chambers Brothers tune had a ticking motif. I like the Ramones’ version better than the original:

[AlaskaErik]

Never heard of the group or the song. And I only listen to rock.

[F450-V10]

Must be an East Coast thing, never heard in it Detroit or Miami and have heard everything else. It DOES sound like Supertramp.

[plain talk]

They took Your Move by Yes and spun off a different little song out of the chord changes. Nice.

[MotorCityBuck]

That was irritating from the first note😂

[eastforker]

The only Lake I remember from that era was Greg Lake from ELP.I mostly remember him for his song C’est la vie. For anyone interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSaPyuVMTiU&ab_channel=AlexandreN.Machado
