One of my favorite anthems when I wore a younger man's leather jacket.

The picture is of Phil Lynott, who does play guitar but not on this song.

I think it was Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson on this song. Moore left in 74 , The Boys was recorded in 76. Moore did rejoin to cover for one of the guys who injured his hand. ( don't remember which guy it was) But Moore just finished the tour in77.

This band was huge in the Midwest. This, Jailbreak & Emerald got a lot of radio play around Chicago.
