*Since there appear to be posting limitations in the Games/Trivia subforum of the Chit-Chat forum, I am re-directing discussion to here from this post so I can respond to posts in a timely manner (instead of waiting 24 hours).
OK there are only 2 rules:
You can search the internet and you can ask for help from colleagues, friends, neighbors, family, etc but if you get the right answer you must give credit where credit is due.
If you want to post your own, please start a different thread.
(Karibou)…this has now been driving me nuts for the past 24 hours. Feels like one of those tip-of-my-tongue kinda things…
(Cothron Theiss) I ran the .mp3 through a music recognition database, and no results popped up. Hopefully later, I’ll run it through a recognition software with a larger database and see what happens.
(frcguy) Sounds super familiar, I just can’t place it.
I’ll give another hint:
That tune is the lead-in to the title song on the platinum debut album of one of the top Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bands of the 70s.
So it’s not some obscure no-way-anyone-could-possibly-guess challenge.
(Poseidon5817) Dana Espanola No 5. We actually listened to this song in AP Music Theory!
What you posted was rattling around in my head and your hint gave it a landing place. I stole that album from my big brother and played it a brazilian times.
BTW “Fly Like an Eagle” was their ninth album and the eighth “The Joker” went platinum.
Fly Like an Eagle went quadruple platinum. But as you said, it was their ninth album (not debut, like the hint said).
The name-that-tune clip is a single acoustic guitar and organ. Space Intro has lead and rhythm electric guitars, drums, and harmonica. Not to mention that the chords and tempo are completely different. Thus the joker/toker remark
*OK, time for the 2nd challenge. This one’s for you old timers.

Thought I recognised the tune, but I would never have been able to remember who it was without Sam’s hint. I also might have placed it if you’d mentioned that the band’s frontman was known for being an iconic flautist.
