Jeff Pocaro is a great drummer that worked in the service of the worst shit in the world. How sick would that song be with no brass and all that other bullshit? Sounds like a Led Zeppelin outake for about ten seconds.
2. I am a sucker for the fake out bring-it-up-a-third move they do when the vocals come in.
3. The pointing and direction thing immediately after Boz Scaggs sings the first lyric is practically identical to what my father used to do when playing - "just them." OK, Dad.
4. WTF with his plectrum technique? It's hilarious that he has all these hot-shit session dudes onstage, and he's very uncomfortably trying to play three-note bar chords.
5. The Boz at the office segment - WTF. Was the video director thinking, "Yeah, this rehearsal and live footage is good, but we need something that really gets across what a mover and a shaker Boz is in the music industry. Let's go to the office and film him picking up the phone and hanging up the phone about a hundred times, choose the best eight and throw those in somewhere."

Notice that Boz has two giant Rolodexes. He's connected. (Did he own Bimbo's 360 back then?)

I am old and very uncool. It's a well known fact. With that said:
I fucking loved that video. I always loved that song. That band is ripping. Pocarro was a fucking freight train.
Yes there's way too many people and gear on stage. But taken in an ironic way that helps make this video great. Would it be better with less, probably.
But if anybody tries to fuck with the guy playing two moogs at once has to answer to me!
Awesome.

Get rid of all that extra shit and you've got a pretty good Mitch Ryder knockoff.
Ah, I don't even listen to that other stuff.
I have, like, a horn filter built into my head.
Nice bass playing. Basically, I was listening to Jeff Porcaro and the bass playing.

This song is awesome, not crap. I couldn't name another Boz Scaggs song if I tried.
Also WTF, dude is named Boz Scaggs, that's like the name of the bass player in the Murder Junkies not a 70s AM pop-star.
That video is beautiful.
