@@bobb4798 U betcha, Bob. "I Live For The Weekend", "Lay It On The Line", & "Spellbound" r my favorite Triumph songs. Another favorite Canadian band of mine who's also vastly underr8d; Honeymoon Suite. "Feel It Again" & "Bad Attitude" r my favorite Honeymoon Suite songs.
My 74 Trans Am Sd 455 and this playing through the pioneer super tuner cassette deck with mindblower 6x9's in the rear deck. Unadulterated bliss in 1980
Last band my Dad and I saw together in Calgary, before he passed away! Pretty sure he was the oldest guy in the crowd? I miss you dad every day, but am thankful we got to do stuff just you and me! Thanks Dad and April Wine. Love your # 1 son
I feel for you as my father passed when I was 1 and my mother when she was 42,I was 15. My son died in 2009 from Muscular dystrophy DMD. I know in my heart that this is not everything and we shall see them again. I did and still do go to music shows with my daughter who is now 41. I know 41 like holy, when I think back to my mom at 42 dying it blows me away. I wish and pray for you to have a better time in this gift of life. Stay strong and keep digging great tunes.
I love this song and the great sound effects! Brilliant hit song from April Wine! This whole concert rocks! April Wine were on fire 🔥 back then! Thanks Miles and you gave me nothing but smiles! 😊 And great Seventies Rock n Roll! RIP It’s just sad that we have to get old and die. So sad it makes me want to cry. Life just isn’t fair but I suppose when I’m gone I won’t care.
I was at the Albuquerque show on this tour... one of the best concerts I've seen, and I've seen a lot! There was a very special moment in that show... it was the first time AW had played Albuquerque and the crowd loved them, really going nuts. The band was pretty taken aback at the crowd's reaction, Gary Moffet went up to the mike and said "I honestly have NO IDEA why we've never been here before!" Of course then the place went completely bananas! Great concert moment, unscripted and real.
And back then tingley coliseum was the place to be boy every band play in that venue back in the day from joan jett to saxon to accept to sabbath to maiden to scorpions wow what a great era that was
The RRHOF doesn't deserve them. The RRHOF is very biased. They do not like southern rock, they don't like a lot of hard rock, and they hate power trios like Grand Funk Railroad. They also hate any bands or musicians with right wing politics like Ted Nugent and Mark Farner from Grand Funk Railroad. So, yup, the RRHOF does not deserve them.
Just told my Daughter that I had an 8track of there's. We use to ride around and party and jam to the song along with many more. This was when rock and roll was at it's best🍺
This band might have done much better if they played songs like this one on the radio instead of the one or two commercial songs we always heard. Such a shame. Nobody even knew how good this band was. A few people did but not the masses. Very unfortunate. Thanks for posting this it is great!
Now I'm so upset. There's just something about this live performance that makes me miss good old rock n roll. The new stuff sucks. They sounded great live.
The Cedar Rapids video is one of the best videos of April Wine that is out there! The sound is absolutely amazing!!!! Saw them during that 1982 tour in Montreal, it was one of the best shows I've ever been too. I remember just how great the sound was at the Montreal Forum and how loud the pyrotechnic explosions were!
i was there too,what a great time it was to be a teenager,the best.Hail to the old Forum and the park in front where we would pass the day before the show
@@dougita7225 We (my GF then - now my wife) were at this show too. Man they just really left it all out there that evening and played to perfection. Then a week later we gathered up the best stereo components we had to choose from among our group and on Saturday night we had a party in Waterloo and watched it on MTV. It was almost like being there again.
Saw them at the Coach House in SJC CA. Front row. Saw their playlist on the stage! I was singing the songs! Myles gave me that look...he knew i was a big fan!
I saw this tour in Colorado Springs. They were great of course. I remember they focused the lights on Jerry during his solo. The lights were bouncing off his bald head. It was actually very cool.
@@markhaus1329 Although AP.RIL WINE was very well established in its native Canada, it was a radio station from Flint, MI (the same fuckin' city w/the water issues; it's 50+ miles NNW of Detroit where I'm from) that put APRIL WINE on the map here in the U.S.A. (courtesy of "Roller"). Though I'm proud 2 b American-born, I've always gravit8d 2wards Canadian musicians (especially A.W., Triumph, Trooper, Guess Who/B.T.O., Max Webster/Kim Mitchell, Pat Travers, Aldo Nova, Loverboy, & Ian Thomas). When u r essentially a "stone's throw" away from Windsor, ONT like I am, it's easy 2 understand y the BEST FUCKIN' MUSIC comes from CANADA!!!!! W/that said, CANADA FUCKIN' ROCKS!!!!! T.Y., A.W.!!!!!
Fantastic video! I love this song. I must say that the album, Nature of the Beast is one of the greatest Rock n Roll records ever! It is frustrating to hear songs from that LP on the radio today, but the DJs never say the band's Name nor the title of the record. So young people have no idea who this band is. Thanks so much for posting!!!
I would have loved to see April wine live. I know I would have enjoyed every song. If I get the chance to see them live, I would definitely go see them perform live
APRIL WINE, THE BEST BAND CANADIAN.....si hubieran llegado a realizar un concierto en PERU en aquella epoca, lo maximo ,pero aun no es tarde y GRACIAS por subir este gran video a W.D.T.S......el ROCK es cultura.
So one time I was in able to talk to these guys and I asked them "How do you sync so well, so tight, so spot on in this song?" They all responded "Simple math...."
At least these guys are! Rush used to be, until they went synth-pop in the 1980s. Rush are in the Rock-'n'-roll hall of fame, and, yes, they finally got back to the sound that made them famous in the late 1970s. But for a long time, they just played around, what with them doing songs like subdivisions, distant early warning,mystic rythyms, the big money,cred barchetta. you know, stuff like that. The songs are, in a way, catchy, but it seemed that Rush was "Trying to keep up with the Joneses", if ya know what I mean. When Rush first started out, they were metal, all the way. Hmm...wonder what would've happened if they'd have been Hard Rock/Heavy Metal all the way through their career...makes ya think, doesn't it? April Wine, on the other hand, never got the credit that they fully deserved. They stayed true to their roots...and, still, were completely overlooked by people that claim to love and respect them nowadays. Pathetic!!!
April Wine are up there with The Guess Who & Rush as the greatest Canadian Rock 'N' Roll Bands ever. Overlooked far too often in every category of the genre.
