It's let down a bit by muddled production but it's still a gem of a song for the fantastic guitar soloing of the late #RonnieMontrose, who played a big part in the development of American hard rock with his first "namesake" band MONTROSE.
Definitely #Gammaband 's best song.

Oh and by the way, the riff to Space Station #5 is still the best riff of all time.

Often left out of discussions of the great rock guitarists, #RonnieMontrose had little interest in chasing hits or following a consistent artistic path. Nonetheless, he left the guitarists who heard him spellbound. guitarworld.com
Ronald Douglas Montrose (November 29, 1947 - March 3, 2012).
remembering modest guitar legend #RonnieMontrose, who died on this day in 2012
He once told me that the monumental Montrose debut album marked his "kindergarten days"

"One thing I can say about a solo, and how to play one is to make it like breathing."

Há 78 anos nascia Ronnie Montrose!!!
Qual a sua música predileta as 6 cordas deste saudoso guitarrista, a bordo da Montrose, banda que liderou, ou com Herbie Hancock, Edgar Winter, Van Morrison e outros com quem tocou?

“I put a quote on one of my records that said: ‘The only path to here and now is the one you’ve travelled.’”
#OnThisDay October 11, 1974 America’s most elusive guitar hero #RonnieMontrose with his band #Montrose released their 2nd album 'Paper Money'.
#Montrose, the pioneering hard rock band featuring #RonnieMontrose on guitar, #SammyHagar on vocals, #BillChurch on bass & #DennyCarmassi on drums is famous for the band's legendary debut album in 1973.
But PAPER MONEY in 1974 didn't come close. But this track really cranks.

August 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣0️⃣ #Gamma 2 #RonnieMontrose keeps his streak of not having the same personnel on two albums in a row, changing the line-up once again. Glenn Letsch came on bass & old Montrose bandmate Denny Carmassi on drums. The cover image was photographed by Jeffrey Scales to a design by Mick Haggerty.

Ronnie Montrose was always a guitar hero to me. He is still. When he formed his new band Gamma by the late 70s, my expectations were high. Gamma 1 hit the record shops in July 1️⃣9️⃣7️⃣9️⃣ and was a promising start.

End of the day for me.
Smiling like a shadow
Of the man in the dark
Oh, who was looking at the girls
Who move like a shark
You caught me in the dark
Gonna drive me insane
But if you get what you want
The difference is the same
You got a …
MEAN STREAK 🎶
Sound UP & enjoy! 🤘

End of the day for me (in Spain).
The man on the ship - has a lot to fear
He hasn't seen home - in almost a year
VOYAGER 🎶
Sound UP & enjoy! 🤘
