I love this song and the whole album really "Grand Illusion", I got it when it first came out in 76 and learnt everything I could about the band and its members, which was not easy back then. I live in Australia and they were never really big here though they did have hits here with "Lady" and "Mr Roboto". Tommy Shaw will always be a legend to me.
