BTO - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet (Single, Album, Not Fragile 1974) Randy Bachman - Vocals, Guitar C. Fred Turner - Bass Blair Thornton - Lead Guitar Robbie Bachman - Drums
Those of us from the 70s knows a great song when we hear one, we all grew up with only the best of the best bands in the world!!! Who is with me on this?!!
Ha, ha. Good one, brother! I was there in the 70s, seeing the Beatles, Neil Young, The Moody Blues, Chicago...loved 'em all and am so grateful to have lived in the 50s, 60's and 70s. The music is unbeatable. I always loved BTO songs, but never saw them live. Polythene Pam

I'm sitting here with a glass of bourbon, listening to my 70's playlist, trying to forget 2020. Cheers everybody. Here's to the 70's, the music and the memories.

We were so lucky to grow up in the 70's, I am 60 now and look at today's teens and think they will never know true happiness. Hours of being outside, playing, using your imagination. A time that is lost forever. I am sure other say that about the 40's, 50's and 60's. But the 70's was a kind of unique time period. Good luck all!
no one can out beat the 70s and the 80s ;; the very best of the best, sad to see it all gone, even sadder that the kids today will never experence what we had,, we were the blessed generation.
I am 26, my dad loved this song and plenty of 70s music when I was a kid and I still do. It's not all bad. As a teenager I was granted access to the internet, something that dweebs in the 70s could only dream of. I much preferred that to playing outside. I never had to deal with spending all my money on vinyl records or nude mags. I never had to spend hours in the library reading encyclopedias, when the entire sum of human knowledge was readily available. With my mobile device I can videocall people like Star Trek, I can order (overpriced) food of any cuisine to my door, but at least it's available. I was never exposed to lead or asbestos (although we got microplastics for that now.) I never had to be drafted to war (and if they try that now, that would absolutely tear this country apart.) Plus today's weed apparently beats the snot out of anything at Woodstock. If you really want to know the difference between your time and now, it's that no one believes in institutions anymore. We know too much. Every institution is evil and self-interested, and with the absence of religion, people have no rigid moral code forcing them to be good. We all know the world sucks, it's overpriced, it may end in the next few years to either WW3 or climate change. There's no hope for the future, no Soviet Union to overcome. It's a daily grind, trying to keep your head above water as the cost of living keeps rising. Sorry to get serious. It's a good song! Rock obviously ain't the same today as it was then, but there's other music today. Hip hop, electronic dance music, etc. What matters is how it makes you feel
Yeah I was born in 2005 grew up in a weird period in time it was the late 2010s early 2020s and the world changed quite a bit in the last 10 years 😂but I’m enjoying it it’s definitely never gonna top the 70s
When this song came out in 74, 1 was 10 years old and loved it. And my dad let me buy the 45 record to play on my boxed phonograph player. When I turned 12 years old. I got a $5 a day job at a gas station after school working there, pumping gas, stocking shelves till 10:30pm when we closed the station. In my small town south of Chicago. During closing time we would blast the big speakers of the stereo as we were closing up with Larry Lujack at WLS on the radio. And they always seemed to play this song, or a Wings song around 10pm. And me and my supervisor who was 17 would duo scream this song out loud yelling into our broom sticks and squeegees "Baby you just aint seen nothing yet"! As we would clean the floors in the car bays. It truly brings back childhood memories. Was my favorite for so long. And in my top 5 till today, I still sing, or hear in my dreams. As kids we were happy then. My kids today always tell me they wish they grew up in the 70's and 80's like I did. They may have thier cellphones today. But we had real friends back then. Even our blood brothers back then.
Great story. I was in my twenties when this came out. I also had the pleasure of being a teenager in the sixties. But the 60s, 70s and eighties were all fantastic decades in music. I was working in a record store in those days and although the wages were terrible, I wouldn't trade that job for anything. Music all day long, what a great time that was. And this song had us dancing in the aisles!❤
I was 18 in 1974. I couldn't wait to get out of my small town, go to college and look at a boy with my brown eyes and say, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!"
Heaven on earth is in what state. I feel old as dirt but you got me beat. You must be having to pay back borrowed time back. Where can I get some with lots of interest. 🤣
I'm 61 y/o and woke up in the middle of the night and this song came to mind. Telling myself "My God where has the time gone? This music still plays in my mind as if it where yesterday. This music brought so much happiness into my generations lives. I can remember the smiles and joy amongst us teenagers. Music and rock and roll records playing all the time. Creating smiles on our faces. Now when I here our music playing, tears of joy fall and I get this joyful feeling in my heart that I don't feel very often. That joy has been replaced by retirement and the daily work of keeping things fixed and staying well. When I need a smile I turn to the 70's -80's music to pick me up. Music is magic to the heart and soul. My fountain of youth. Every now and then an 80's rock band will have a concert nearby and I buy myself a ticket to go into that time capsule of youth. Even if it's just 2 hours long the feeling I get makes me feel back in my teens again. The air guitar comes out and I rock out without a care of who's watching ♥️
@@mikewheatley2739 During the summer time here there is a band that plays for free ever so often in one of our outdoor parks called "Hair metal Giants". They do a great job with the classic rock of the 80's. They get dressed up in 80's outfits with wigs 😆. The singer has a voice that can adapt to the voices of the original artist of the songs they sing. The lead guitarist is awesome. He doesn't need a costume because he is stuck in the 80's and dresses that way daily. He never missed a note and has the music down to a tee. The band jokes and says he sleeps with his guitar 🎸😎😂. I can't wait to see them again next summer.
Man I’d love to hook up and talk. I’m few more years older. I too tear up but I listen anyway. I listen every day all day. When I get time ima post all the bands of yester year. That I saw in concert..There weren’t many that I didn’t see..peace out and keep listening brother….
I'm "only" 57 but remember the summer of 74 quite well. That's around the time listening to rock music started giving me goosebumps. BTO was all over the rock radio stations in the Midwest. Something peculiar that I remember well was that so many people then believed that the song "Mississippi Queen" had been composed by BTO (and it certainly could have) that many DJ's felt compelled to say "and no folks, they did no do Mississippi Queen" either before or after they played a BTO hit. I felt bad for Mountain since that song was their only really big hit while BTO had many, and now they were being credited for it! That could be the reason BTO never covered "Mississippi Queen" in their shows, although they sometimes included parts of songs from other artists, like many if not most band do on stage. The opposite is also true, I've heard the band Whitesnake include lines from "Takin' Care Of Business' in one of their live songs.
New Orleans Municipal Auditorium Oct 4 1974; junior in high school; rocked the whole auditorium; first time hearing it again 50 years later, still rocks.
This was the first album I ever bought with my own money, had no idea who BTO was at the time, became one of my favorite albums, played on a portable record player !
BTO deserve more credit for what they contributed to classic rock. Absolutely crazy talented. Rush, Triumph, April Wine and BTO, all Canadian bands. I know I missed some bands but its great they rocked out so hard.
Bachman-Turner Overdrive drummer Robbie Bachman is gone at 69. I loved his style and his look (those glasses were so great) and the way he hit that high-hat. I think Robbie had such a terrific splashy groove and a truly original sound to his percussion. Thanks for the music Robbie.
So amazing. I am living in 1974 right now. Right down to the day. I am 73 and remember it like it was yesterday. Thank you Randy for everything and may Robbie rest in peace.
Really, that is stupid. It was a great song and the stutter doesn't insult anyone. It was the phrasing they were doing to get the guitar parts right and they decided to keep it in as it sounded great just like that...and they were right. It holds up today just fine!❤
I was here a year ago. Today I woke up with this song on my mind, spring is here and this 62 y/o man is ready to get out and go to a CLASSIC ROCK concert!!! 👏👏😁👍🤘☝️🎸🥁🎵🎶
This song has it all : philosophy in the lyrics, stuttering ( like My Generation) celestial lead guitar, iconic power chords, solid drumming and MORE COWBELL !
Philosophy in the lyrics. You''re talking about "any love is good love," right? That statement haunts me. It's so 70's. Today's equivalent would be "it's all good." Any love? Lol
@@spindriftdrinker Yeah man, Randy Bachman, what a genius: Inventive, riff machine on guitar, statement maker as a writer. The brains behind both The Guess Who and BTO. And fortuitous that Burton Cummings got disgusted with "Clap For The Wolfman" to break up TGW so there could be a BTO. That Randy B. really knew how to "taking care of business." "Anyway, any day."
I'm with you and the others we had the best years of our lives during the late 50's, the 60's, and 70's I'm 71 now and facing health issues that may only allow me another 3 to 5 years but if it comes down to that I'll be ready since this world goes downhill more and more everyday, I wasn't planning on facing life's health quality issues over 80 anyway and I feel very fortunate that I made it this far since I knew a lot of people that never even lived to their 40's, 50's, 60's, and so on.
I Just Loved a comment i just saw on this song! Being 20 in the 70's was a lot better than being 70 inbthe 20's! Thats a true and awesome statement! I wasvin my teens untilb980.
I read somewhere that the reason why Randy Bachman stuttered was because the studio room where this song was recorded was so cold. The music producer wanted to keep the stutter in the recording.
Dedicated to his brother I hope. I have a great nephew who has learning difficulties and has done well, but he still stutters but he is lovely just as he is.
Lead guitarist could make their guitars sing! It was impossible to sit still! Parts of your body instantly move when the rock music from the 70-80's is being played. Pure magic☺️.
I wish as a working class man I could afford any of those bad a$$ cars! I'm 55 and those cars were always out of reach to my generation. But I'm a humongous fan!
They played at my brother in law's company picnic in Brush Prairie, Washington back in the mid 90s, they're really just a bunch of good ol boys just havin fun. They're awesome! Rock On BTO!
R.I.P., Robbie Bachman. As a percussionist, his sound was 1 that I always admired right up there with the best of them. He was so precise and had a powerful delivery that was like a steam engine roaring through a small town. Thank you for the memories and all the incredible music! 👍💯🥁🏳🌈🐺😻🔔🍔🍁

7 is Gods number IMO 1970s was the greatest decade for great magical real music that makes you feel real good and happy....that's why I say 7 is special number.
So sad that Robbie Bachman, the Drummer of Bachman Turner Overdrive passed away. BTO will always be one of my top favorites Rock Bands!!! Comforting prayers to his family & friends & fans.
47 years now and this song is still g-g-g-g-great. Stutter in a song, one must be really c-c-c-c-crazy even to think about it. It's absolutely f-f-f-f-fantastic. What a cracking tune. It's a monster p-p-p-p-piece. Forget covid jab, how about an adrenaline jab for a ch-ch-ch-ch-change.
True. I'm straight up from the hood and as a youngster in the early 70s, I remember hearing this song for the first time on a 3 day weekend Boy Scouts camping trip. When I came home, I kept singing the song around the house and my mother became worried. But I told her, "Don't worry, you ain't seen nothing yet."
Drove from Charlotte NC to Myrtle Beach SC and no radio stations except country after we were out of Charlotte I Had one 8 track in my 1970 Camaro and this was it listened to it over and over again. GREAT MEMORIES!
Its a fabulous song. Personally i think its the lead solos throughout that just make it sing. Something very spiritually freeing about Blair's lead solos.
I ask all fans to pay attention to Robbie in this song. WOW! He works it. Filling in every part. Goodbye Robbie, some of us hardly knew you or appreciated your contribution.
This was the year we emigrated to Canada from the UK and discovered what a great music industry there was here. Now at 77 I must have listened to this a hundred times. Love, love it still
it must've been a prime time for emigration cuz I really loved the new Brits in my school. And the trade off was amazing! I learned all about The Specials and The Jam and the punk scene and I showed them BTO and The Guess Who and other local bands (me and my hoodlum friends trying our best to set up some underground sounds). Good times!
We emigrated from England to Canada in 1957 and I'm so glad I grew up with the fantastic music scene in Toronto. Music was EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, All AT ONCE!!😂
Plenty of good musicians out there who still know how to play instruments. Some of us actually go out and watch them play live. What a stupid comment with zero substance. Get over yourself.
i was thirteen years old, riding my schwinn cruiser, 1974, dudes cruised by, rock playin,. cool 70 nova rumblin, smoke rollin, i was hooked. Rock On !!
