The funky Hendrix strum is also fantastic, though I will point out the title though reminds me of Rush's Fly by Night, this song predates that tune by a year. Though the two share a similar mix of fast paced drums and the identical tone and mannerisms of the lead singers.
Bringing obscure songs from the 1970s such as deep album cuts, underrated cover songs and forgotten singles back on this blog. The 70s was a great time for music, possibly the best and the most diverse; that some gems that need to be rediscovered

Head East (1974) Fly By Night Lady - LOST 70s GEMS
Full of frenetic acoustic strumming and punchy analogue keyboards with their sound of full bodied, delightfully homemade, throbbing electronics matching the theatrical, Geddy Lee soundalike and future Petra front man, John Schlitt. This track is from their barnstorming, self produced and distributed debut album Flat as a Pancake, full of good time Prog boogie that would peak in the late 70s with Kansas, Ambrosia and Styx but unfortunately never quite lead them to superstars in their own right.
