Nah! That was Augnation and I senior year, and anytime we got tired of playing with a band we just told the drum majors it was time to drop the Hammer and end this shit. Even though we had songs like The Rain, Crazy, Candy, Conga, Sweet Freedom, Headlines, and many more power tunes all started from that year. It was Sledge Hammer that did everyone in. Every band after us hasn't been able to sustain the power of the song from beginning to end, because it's such a demanding tune. So they would play it at a moderate volume until they got to the vamp and then cut loss, but we played it full from the top to the bottom.
Man...when the Aug would play this I used to feel sorry for whoever was on the other end. This is IMO the most powerful song St. Aug played in the 80's and 90's.

Here's sledgehammer from 86-87
It was 86-87 my Sr year.
@ mlmkwm: "The Rain" was powerful no doubt, but in 87,the Rain came behind "Sledgehammer" in the power category.
