I guess I've listened to the remix - it sounds good.  Rocking - yes.  I like how the vocals are carved into the song - nicely mixed.  And nothing wrong w/ loud guitars.  They work on this one.  Plenty of energy.  Head nodding stuff, then on to the foot stomping.  I can see why the seats were torn up.

Steve - you guys are great - such great energy - instruments all played like pros and Sid has a killer voice. I love this.

 
Paul, thanks for the listen and the comments mate. The original Backwater is a bit of a Quo rarity in as much as Alan Lancaster took on the role of lead singer, presumably since he wrote/co-wrote the lyrics. Although he contributed a lot of backing vox to their stuff, I can only think of a couple of other songs where he's the main singer, most notably a cover version of The Doors' Roadhouse Blues.
 
Thanks Warren, AT and Mark for your kind words, it's really appreciated 
 
 

I've only heard the latest version, but that sounds very good on my monitors.  The instruments are balanced and cutting through quite well, and the vocal sits atop them like it should.  This song rocks, and that's not smoke!

First how much was Bapu paid? and second, oh yeah, AWESOME!!

Hi Steve, didn't kow this one, thought you'd messed up the intro , listened to the original, you did good.; )
