You know I've seen this great band several times and to my dismay have never seen it done live. Thank you for posting this great Knack song! It pretty much was my theme song as a teen-ager. RIP Doug, and thank you for the music!
@RecordWarped It's really nice to interact with a true Knack fan! Unfortunately I never seen the band perform Can't Put a Price on Love live, but you are correct, that is a great song! I first saw the Knack in October of 1979, when they were HUGE! I was lucky enough to see them nearly ten more times over the years. I love this band and I was able to meet them also, truly very nice and friendly guys. Check out their rendition of Hard Day's Night on youtube, it's phenomenal from 1979 in NY.
Could never understand all the hatred/backlash for the Knack back in the day (especially from other power-poppers). I'm guessing a lot of it was petty jealousy. Always enjoyed the Knack immensely and was even a member of their fan club.
The Knack were simple, in the sense that they loved The Beatles, and didn’t see themselves as above, or better than this music. As punk broke into the United States around this time, there started to grow this prevailing attitude that The Beatles were passé. The Knack in imagery, sound, (in nearly every way) resembled purposefully The Beatles
God. I am getting into this guys. And these guys ended their career playing in Epicot Center? How depressing. Doug should’ve been regarded as the John Lennon of America.
this was performed at walt disney world? the song is so undisneylike. it's a hormone-driven, borderline misogynistic anthem. a wet dream set to music. walt must be rolling over in his grave....
I really miss Doug and his music. They were an awesome band when I was in high school in 1979. Hard to believe he has been gone 7 years now.
Probably my favorite Knack song. The lyrics are very insightful, if you ask me.
Makes me think of 1979 when I bought and owned the album GET THE KNACK!!!!

@jiml20 my childhood memories were the Beatles, but I did like the Knack very electric sound, 3 guitars and a cloud of dust...
Great Knack tune....their best...forget My Sharona :)

I miss Mr. Doug Fieger , there is record that the Knack played with Ray Manzarek , it is true ?
Great song! Not sure why the drummer feels the need to rush?
God. I am getting into this guys. And these guys ended their career playing in Epicot Center? How depressing. Doug should’ve been regarded as the John Lennon of America.
This is 2002? Man, Doug looks barely a day older than he did in 1979. Is that Berton on guitar? Are the others original members?
I think the others are the original members. At least the bass player because his dance moves are similar to what I've seen on vids from 1979.
+ronfowlermusic The drummer is the only non-original member.
Is the drummer coked out?
this was performed at walt disney world? the song is so undisneylike. it's a hormone-driven, borderline misogynistic anthem. a wet dream set to music. walt must be rolling over in his grave....
Yeah, but it’s also a simple pop song about love. The most universal of all feeling. I same amen if these guys brought that sentiment
