In essence! - at the very least: Nothing worthwhile!!), but, simply, because: I was pretty certain that Andy & Alex (along with a number of others who frequent the page) might NOT be AWARE that: "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" was a cover and of how important a figure Mr. John Lee Hooker IS in American Blues music. -Not everyone has the benefit of, either: hindsight, research or, simply, "awareness."

Re: "Hocus Pocus" by Focus: YEARS ahead of its time. Jan Akkerman's guitar work was SO advanced for that time it's unreal. He's still at it, but more of a jazz cat vs. a rocker. I highly recommend you listen to the original version from their "Moving Waves" LP (I think that was the name!).

Five Reasons why I love George Thorogood; (1) After playing semi pro baseball, and as a hard core baseball fan, he decided he'd rather focus on music as a career. (2) He opened for the Rolling Stones. In fact I've read that the Stones wanted to bring him into the band at one point. (3) He's got a great sense of humor. (4) He and the Destroyers absolutely tear up the stage. (5) He's got a killer sax player who gets plenty of room to show his chops. As you can tell by my avatar, that's close to my heart.

Alex passed out and literally came to headbanging..... gotta love it

This cover by Thorogood is awesome, he does a great cover of Bo Diddley’s ‘Who Do You Love?’ and his biggest hit was ‘Bad To The Bone’, someone in your feed said ‘any garage band can play his stuff’ ... Not a chance, he’s a master of twelve bar blues and slide guitar, he’s a great one.

ANDY AND ALEX!!!!! That was so much fun! I watched the whole video and TOTALLY went on that same TRIP with TOOL!!! WOW!!

I gotta say my favorite reaction from you guys was BLACK SABBATH'S SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE when the song went from pure head bangin to Tony Iommi's acoustic climax..watching you both react to that was richer than rich!! Love you both!!...a REALLY FUN VIDEO!!!!!

When I was young in college I used to go see George Thorogood and one thing that you need to know about him if you didn't already is that he liked playing smaller crowds and he loved to play as long as people cheered him on ...so as long as you continue to stay there and sing along he would play all night long and that's no exaggeration he was amazing as a performer and yes he played guitar

W900L 14 I love the quotes you guys pull out, I never remember them

what I love about that Heart performance is how much it moves Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. Page was into it and Plant looked really touched, shedding a tear, at one point you can see Plant mouth to Page "not bad" They later said on Letterman how they've never been honored like this in their own country. And the drummer was Jason Bonham, John Bonham's son.

Cabo Diablo, I was really touched by Robert Plant's reaction. You can tell he loved the performance. He's such a humble man.

The Stairway cover with Heart at the Kennedy Center makes me cry every time. 😢 So beautiful. Robert Plant was also choking up. Such an experience. I also can’t imagine playing the guitar solo or even the intro in front of Page himself. How nerve wracking! Thanks for doing this.

Saw Thorogood in Montreal in '81. At one point during this song, he took a seat in the front row, put his feet up on the stage and just played...the "Scratch My Back" segment went on for over eight minutes before he returned to the stage. He had on a snakeskin suit (with matching cowboy boots) and a black t-shirt. That auditorium got the shit rocked out of it that night.

Man that Thoroughgood song paired with Peter Framptons Do You Feel Like I Do? is the perfect pairing for a drunk night. If you haven’t heard the live Frampton I can’t suggest it enough.

My favorite moment is you guys discovering one of my all time favorite bands, Boston.

I teared up during the Heart performance

Guys please check out "Stealin" by Uriah Heep and "We're an American Band" by Grand Funk Railroad". Two kick ass classic rock songs! Grand Funk was said to be the loudest concert band of their time!

I am so happy that you started this drunk episode with Hocus Pocus. It was such a perfect oddball song to jump into, and while it was a staple of album oriented radio when I was growing up, it still stands up as a great drunk listen now! Thanks to the other subscribers for picking it! Can't wait for the 50k episode!

Favorite moment of the channel is your immediate reaction to "The Spirit of Radio". I watch that almost every day just to amp up my joy.

You guys and your drunk reaction to focus just blew my mind i was 13 in 73 and i was sober that was the hardest most badass tune i had ever heard wish you guys could have been there with me. Time for a beer and cig

By the time they got to "stairway to heaven" they were so drunk all Alex could do was sit there and stair. His drunk expression made the whole video.

The greatest live led zepplin tribute song ever....ever. Saw a specific Heart concert where they played 8 zepplin songs live. I felt like I just watched a Led Zepplin concert.

That must’ve been mind-blowing! Heart is fantastic, especially doing Zeppelin. They were nicknamed “Lil’ Zep” because they covered them so well.

Focus were asked to cut the song down to fit the TV show time slot. Instead of cutting the song they opted to make it fit by playing it at double speed

I had forgotten all about "Hocus Pocus," by Focus! I have the single somewhere, but this live performance is much better. Thank you! Your reactions are worth the price of admission!

Hey guys, yes. That was a brain melter. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the Expressions on your face whale watching Hocus Pocus by Focus. In the early 70s I was working in a local Record Shop as a teenager and I remember this album coming out and I brought it and it became part of my wow factor list of songs.. They really didn't catch on to the mainstream here in the USA but were huge in Europe. On the album itself that song spans nearly the entire side. Being exposed to new albums as they arrived. watching you guys react brings back a great feeling from my past listening to fresh music for from all bands. watching too guys react to songs for the first time reminds me of myself. Enjoy your channel. James from FL.

9:54 ANDY: "I'm too drunk to like, uhh...like uhh... agree with that but, like I'm gonna like acknowledge what your saying....and I'm here with you" There is one of my favorite moments right there. Classic.

I used to listen to Hocus Pocus on a 45 rpm single that belonged to my sister! I really prefer the various studio versions to this live version, but this performance is so hyper and frenetic, it's a lot of fun too! There's like 3 or 4 different studio versions you should check out!

cosmicVox13 masterful musicians

A little trivia...at the 44:14 mark, there's a shot of the horn section during Heart's rendition of "Stairway to Heaven". The guy in the middle playing the tenor sax is 'Blue' Lou Marini. He was in movie 'The Blues Brothers' starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd from the early 80's. Since you guys are music aficionados, that movie is worth checking out...lots of good music, good laughs, and a lot of cars wrecked. Cameos include but not limited to: Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, and James Brown.

As awesome as the televised version of "Hocus Pocus" is, I think it takes a distant second place to the album version. They were given too little time to perform the song to their normal time, and instead of dropping anything out to make it fit the time they were given, they sped the entire song up to fit the shorter time. In my opinion, it suffered badly by being compressed like that. For the Heart cover of "Stairway to Heaven", you stopped the video right before Jason Bonham saluted the members of Led Zeppelin in the balcony, and their returning the salute.

Jeff Morse well we love having friends like you to share these vids with 🙏🏼

Focus is one of the few bands who played their song live on The Midnight Special show. Most bands used a backing track and just pretended to play/sing. Focus gets a 10 just for doing it totally live!

I discovered this channel about a week ago and have watched a great deal of your videos, and I have really enjoyed every one of them. The songs you are hearing for the first time I have heard ad nauseum over my 49 years on this planet but watching the passion you guys display when listening to this music has made me re-open my ears to them and it has re-ignited my passion for these songs again, so thank you for teaching this old dog new tricks for my ears to listen to. It truly has been a rediscovery for me and I am encouraged that your generation is listening to the music I got to grow up with and have a deep respect and appreciation for.
