Just after he makes St. Peter wait at the golden gate because he just has to have another cigarette! I just found out unfortunately. Good day to you! I appreciate your comment
We used to have an old version on a record at my grandparents, I don’t know if it was this version or an original, but this by far is my favorite version
You are missing the really really funny chatter before the song starts... George takes a drink of his beer, finishes the beer and then takes the can and smashes/crushes it on his forehead and says, "I felt like doing that". It is really funny & enduring. George once lived in OCEANSIDE, NY among other places on LONG ISLAND.
Bill Kirchen in the 80’s is a scary sight! Lol. We are all guilty of bad 80’s style though. He looked great last night at 76 in Wranglers! RIP Commander.
Charlie’s band played the Pair a Dice nightclub in North Lewiston, and had to drive up the spiral highway ( 11 miles ) to go home to Spokane, Wa. Nothing on the Cali Grapevine even comes close to these hairpin corners.
Thanks for that info as I was one who believed it was about the California Grapevine, partially visible. I never knew about your mentioned Grapevine until now.

One of the tightest bands I ever saw. All great musicians but Bill Kirchen was outstanding.
I was going to say the same thing. I saw them in 1973 in Charlotte N. C.. New Riders of the Purple Sage opened but were too messed up to play.
R.I.P. Mr George Frayne, "Commander Cody" to all of us. Godspeed.
Spent many a stoned 1970s evening rockin' out to a fantastic band & their leader.
The Zappa of Country Music
Exactly!
Gallagher’s musical cousin
Wasn't country
RIP Commander, you'll be rocking upstairs.

As someone born in 1978, I love this so much. And it’s so damn fast.
The Hot Rod Lincoln was last seen
heading North. RIP, George Frayne.
Rest in peace commander. Thanks for all the great music

I would have loved to seen them back in the day.

Ok, it was a red plastic cup, yet still very funny for a former high school track star from OCEANSIDE, LI, NY... and a JONES BEACH lifeguard!
Bill kirchen is awesome on guitar

Wow that's fast
Son!
One of the original rappers before it had a name.
Loved it but the cadence is very different it's difficult to keep up but I have the original down pat. But I got it.
Bill Kirchen only drinks coffee nowadays- and has done so for a long time!
good drugs.
Speed?
Grapevine Hill in reality was the Lewiston Grade" running out of Lewiston Idaho/ Clarkston Washington. They wanted to make it sound like California👍✌️

Commanders version was customized to include reference to California. They were based in Oakland for several years
That's guitar player looks familiar.
Bill Kirchen, I think.
Out of this womb sprang The Barenaked Ladies, right?
Execute Order 66
Now do it a little faster!
Kids, just say no!
Seems like his prescriptions needed adjustment. You can tell that the band is suffering here, but not as much as Cody.
Asleep at the wheel. Did this better
HE MUST HAVE BEEN ON SPEED WHEN THIS WAS RECORDED, HE FLEW THROUGH THE LYRICS SO DAMN FAST I COULD BARELY MAKE IT OUT.
R.I.P.
