If only for "Do You Feel Like We Do" (which let the rest of the world know that Joe Walsh isn't the only one who can do the talkbox well) I can still see myself with my high-school buddy jamming air-guitar to this song up in his room with our headphones connected to a wye cord so we could blast it without his parents killing us... To me this song was Frampton's "Stairway to Heaven", copmplete with huge accolades at first and thorough disgust with radio airplay-to-the-ground. Well, after all's said and done, it still stands to this day as one of the finest pieces of live music rock and roll has ever known! If you dont feel energized and say to yourself "holy shit" after blasting it one more time for posterity, check your pulse!
