Gigging rock bassists... What song am I playing (starting)?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey, TB friends -

Thought I'd start a fun little game for gigging bassists. Based solely on this picture, what song am I playing?

Here are the hints:
- I play in a rock cover band that plays bar rock from the 70s-today. This song is from the 70s
- The original mid-70s album version of the song starts with this bass pattern but single edits skipped this part as an intro
- Some consider it the breakthrough hit for the band that recorded it although the band had moderate success with singles from the two previous albums they had released

I always have a hard time going from riff to riff in that song. How do you do it?

I'm surprised how quickly I knew it.
