(Berlin 18-09-1973).I heard this played as a single on the radio when it came out in about 1973. This song was much maligned and downplayed by the BBC and indeed may have never been released in the UK, for being a 'rebel rouser' in the troubled 1970's.It spent 11 weeks in the Irish top ten but was rarely heard on Mainland British Soil. I would be about 16, and it was the definitive moment of experience of Rock 'N 'Roll. Sadly the German film crew seem more determined to film their own equipment and studio than The Boys themselves but they get their focus right in the end.Now deceased Brit' DJ John Peel talked about having that defining moment hearing Elvis for the first time and forever seeking that special moment to relive anew, hence the career as a DJ.
