About 4 and a half minutes of insane boogie bliss, with Tommy Bolin duking it out with Jan Hammer and Lee Sklar pumping away before he disappeared into James Taylor's backing band. The very first time I heard Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher", I wondered if the brothers had been listening to an old Billy Cobham album, as the two tracks are remarkably similar in places.

Ed was a huge Bolin fan !! They did do one of his tunes in the clubs. My buddy who worked for a local guitar shop introduced Tommy's brother Johnnie to Eddie backstage in the early 80's and Eddie wouldn't shake his hand and walked away !! Fuckin little prick !! That story still pisses me off !!Comment

Eh, not so big on this but I just think Pensa-Shure guitars are sexy. (And I really like the way Chet walks all over Knopfler towards the end of the tune.)

Since we are now on Chick Music (Elvis's severed head comes thrown in my direction) *ducks.
Some old school sounds at least. Crack a beer and see if it works. One of their stronger efforts I think:

Full version of The Rockford Files theme song by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter. It's either Larry Charlton or Pete Carr on guitar.
Of course Mike Post also went on to co-produce VH III w/ EVH, oops...

That is the single version, which differs from the one used for the show. Post rerecorded the tune and released it as a single in the early seventies. Larry Carlton played on yet another version of the song, recorded for a 1982 album Post released featuring extremely awful remakes of his tv theme songs.
The amount of work Post did for VH III came down to recording the piano part for the album's opening, and little else. Warner Brothers refused to let Edward Van Halen produce the album (one listen to it explains why), so Post (one of Ed's golf buddies) agreed to lend his name to the project. You can imagine that Mr. Post will never make such a mistake again, even though the album sold so poorly that outside of a handful of VH fans, nobody noticed his involvement.

I'm pretty sure that is the track he broke a string on, but kept on playing anyway.
