When I did my first collab with the organist Norm Peterson, I found myself thinking about how he could really nail this one. He's actually still working on the solo for the long version of this, so when it's done, I'll tack on the totally progged-out 6 minute album version to this thread.

Thanks Tom!

I loved this song as a kid! Cool to have it resurface in this respectable tribute. I remember hearing a live version EONS ago which had a super-long bass solo towards the end.

By the way - love the Giraffe cover!

A GREAT rendition. The keys cut right through. Guitar sounds superb too. Love the song. Heard the Zombies play it a few years ago -Colin did the vocals proud.

My thirteen year-old, listening from across the room, "Hey, I know that song."

Thanks Howard, Mark and Noel! I'll re-post it soon with the LONG version. Lots of prog rock fun going on in the middle bit, but I edited this one to go straight to the "UFO". :lol:
