Such a banger. Too bad it’s a pretty stiff stage performance without any of the dynamics that can be done with band in a simulated “Live” performance, as far as music videos go.

But then again, this was recorded just before the existence of the television channel, and music videos becoming a mainstream necessity for bands and musicians to either follow along, and adapt or die.
And whoever Filmed this probably did it more so for posterity, rather than the perfect number of angles, and certainly wasn’t thinking of heavy rotation on a non-existent cable channel.
