Hey folks! Today we're covering the epic opening to side two of You're Gonna Get It; I Need to Know. A great groove, a wonderful lyric, and a timeless staple of rock radio for the past four and a half decades!

I talked about Tom's comment that the rhythm for the song was heavily inspired by Wilson Pickett's Land of 1000 Dances, a live performance of which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/jbRiM26hyms


Stevie Nicks performed this song live extensively throughout her career and you can check out her band ripping through it in 1986 here: https://youtu.be/He4RQi5lyno?t=43 and you can see her joining the Heartbreakers on stage Live from Gatorville here: https://youtu.be/OnpdZU8lhus
