We used to routinely play "Raise a Little Hell" but have never been able to convince anyone to play this song. I really like it. Trooper was great, the Hot Shots album had some cool tunes.

I'd never imagine it would be a cliche, I can't remember playing it for anyone and having them say they've heard it before.

I'm in Canada, on the East Coast - for whatever reason, every band here plays it. It is a lot of fun, if the band is tight and not just phoning it in. I would *love* to do "Three Dressed Up As A Nine" instead and astoundingly have run into musicians my age and older who don't remember it at all. "Raise A Little Hell" also goes over big with audiences of all ages here, just not as pervasive for whatever reason as "Here For A Good Time."

Interesting that it's that big of a song there.

My favorites from them are "Moment that it Takes" and "Round Round we Go"

Great band! Love that LP.

You have good taste!

Our band leaked the "Freebird" call to friends, and we played the push back on stage, but we rehearsed it and rolled it out and it was fabulous. That was fun

Has anyone said "Hard to Handle" yet?

We are doing an abbreviated Freebird next gig. Rolling from Hymn #43 right into it. I thought it would be stupid or silly but it rocks. Looking forward to see how the crowd (oh I'm an optimist) likes it on Saturday.
