I was in middle school in a small town in Texas when I first heard Billy Squire. Only country and western music on one radio station. People "smuggled" in rock cassette tapes. I have loved his music ever since because of the energy it gave me at such an important time of my life.

R.I.P. Gary Wright (Apr 26, 1943 - Sept 4, 2023) - thanks for the incredible music!!! 💜
This was pure perfection, & Gary's enthusiasm was infectious! His music was the soundtrack to my childhood in the 70s & my heart is breaking at his passing. Farewell, Mr. Wright... til we all meet again on the Dream Weaver Train. RIP 💔

Same! My very first record in fact - a 45 I still have to this day! Waa only 6 or 7 & played it endlessly on my Kermit green record player... So sad to see him go. Not much younger than my dad who's 84 now. Time's clearly winning we must enjoy every day no telling what tomorrow brings!

I totally agree! Sounds great!
Superior to anything today. Pure talent.
This is a great song! Brings me right back to the spring of ‘76! Lots of fun then! ❤
And that boys and girls, is how it’s done! Real musicians and real vocalists doing what they love. Make no mistake, everyone on that stage is having a blast, and that’s because they all love making people happy by playing REAL music with REAL musical instruments. Absolutely no auto tuned vocals, and no drum machines needed! IMHO this is the absolute best version/performance of “My Love is Alive” (at least that I’ve ever heard), and I believe that thick and heavy guitar part being laid down by Billy Squire plays a huge role of the greatness. Not to mention having two heavy hitting drummers, and the layered backing vocals. Please allow me to reiterate, this is how it’s done!

OMG, the density of the legend and talent on stage that night is insane. Wow!
Love is Eternal , Magical in Music , born of love, from love, in Love. Peace , Love, Gratitude 💜🌻🌈🙂🙏🏼
Our Love for You is Still Alive Gary Wright! RIP
I saw Gary perform a couple of shows back in the '70s as an opening act for Peter Frampton and Yes. Aside from a drummer, he had a couple of other guys in jumpsuits playing these massive keyboard setups. I believe one of those guys was none other than Steve Porcaro. The sound from those early, analog synthesizers like the Prophets and Moogs, was incredibly powerful. When Gary and his jumpsuited-buddies launched into this song, you could literally feel the ground shake; it was startling. It's good to see him out there still doing his thing and weaving those dreams.

Thank you for sharing that, tswrench! There's one of those performances from the time -- with the young Steve Porcaro -- here on youtube; you'll really dig it if you ain't already seen it by now... Being a guy who's sometimes had his own bands playing original material (as a keyboardist), i can tell you that just watching that video of those gods of the craft lugging around those super-heavy controller keyboards of the day, grooving out all casual and nonchalant like it ain't nothin' is a real spiritual experience for me. Maybe it sounds silly, but i try to watch that version only every year or two for fear of getting burnt out or otherwise immune to that feeling it inspires in me.

This is musical excellence! Ringo Starr and his All Star Band shows are always filled with great performances like this. I was so sad to hear of Gary's passing. His Dream Weaver album was part of the soundtrack of my teenage years. I saw him in concert a couple of times back in the day, he opened for Peter Frampton and for The Edgar Winter Group.
Wow....this song brings back memories of being 10 years old in 1976 and hearing this song on the radio alot back then. I also heard this song blaring on the loudspeakers at the local swimming pool I used to hang out with as a kid with my childhood friends and siblings...Oh those fond memories of childhood in the hot summer of 1976...

I skipped out on church one Sunday ( got as far as the parking lot and then chickened out and left ) Then drove to a Best Buy store and was looking at the CD'S and this song came on over the store sound system and tears just poured out uncontrollably. I thought "What is going on". It was a very real "marker" in my life I will never forget. Today? I'm walking hand in hand with my savior and lord and love him with ALL my heart! May someone come to faith through my testimony. HE REALLY LOVES US!!!!!!!!!
