Very busy day today, played at a wedding, which is always good pay and you have somewhat of a captive audience; it was very much a success. Anyway whilst coming home this evening I decided to listen to the radio and the Alice Cooper show was on and this was one of the songs played that I liked. Here is a recording on YouTube. Here is a live version on the song on YouTube. +

I right did not have a song ready to pick today, so I spun my iPod's playlist and found this one. What really can you say about a band that was the inspiration of so many great acts to come? The star-studded cast of musicians in this band and song are just incredible and it makes the song a treat to listen to. What's cool about this song is that it's one of those rare tracks where musicians as well as non-musicians both enjoy. Here is the studio version on YouTube. Here is a television performance on YouTube. +
