It’s a good song. But not one of their best. Shows however they didn’t have to be what they became.

I particularly love the beginning of this one. But a great track to me too.

Yeah, great song but I’ve always felt it was(and I even still think of it as) an unfinished masterpiece-in-waiting. It needs a bridge or a key shift and a solo, not fussed if it’s guitar one or more from Bob! Alas, we’ll never know. And yes the start, complete with BY’s harp is brilliant.

Sorry. Thought it was shite back then, and still think it's shite now. It’s an epic track. Fantastic harp from Bob and love the way it moodily chugs along to that extended outro.

It’s an epic track. Fantastic harp from Bob and love the way it moodily chugs along to that extended outro. Yer arse. It's monotonous pish. Lazy garbage - just like everything else on these two feckin albums. Cutting room floor keech. It's always been a mystery to me why people rate JS and NTL. Two reeking piles of shite. Must be an age thing, I suppose. Or a taste thing... Lot of bands I love that you hate...More than likely the same. Vice versa etc. It is what it is I fucking adore Too Close To The Ground for example...I think that could have been a monster of a single. Especially if Rick had sung it...But, I know some people hate it or have issues with it. It is what it is after all

A epic song to my ears, wasn't the lyrics about Rick's daughter who passed away? Love JCQ live version.

I may be wrong, but I think the lyric about Rick's daughter was Take me away... not sure though...

One of 3 decent tracks /DDMC/Over the edge, the rest of the album allways got skipped and anything after that wase binned quickly and forgotten about.
They still had 'it' but someone took them down a different path.

TCTTG is sentimental birthday caird pish. You love "Long Legged Linda". That disqualifies you from having any opinion on any Quo song. Ya fanny. There are people out there liking the bogs hard to flush dollokks Lönely Nigget.... What kind of thing is that??
