The perfect 70s Canadian rock song

RIP Jerry.

Rest In Peace!

A Canadian Icon. Saw him lots in the 70's. Met him years later at a small blues bar in Victoria, very nice man. This song one of the best rock songs in the world. It is about his son , whose picture is on the album cover. He grew up to be the best looking bouncer/doorman in Vancouver,he worked at The Yale for a few years. It's gone now to make way for condos. Huge loss to Vancouver...I miss going there after a concert. Now I miss concerts....no more for at least a year they said.....

rip will be missed

I didn't know the song was so old because it sounded like a regular hit song on the jukebox at Todd mountain. That was in the early 80s. It always gave me some really good vibes.

Jerry opened for you in Coutts ab your back was killing you and you still put a great show on then you bought my drummers belt lol after the show great night thank god for the crown royal

RIP Jerry

R.I.P.

Thank you ol' timer

Good to see Jerry is in good form here, band did a smokin' job, beautiful!

Thank you Jerry for this incredible song...the riffs are in a class on its own...when I first heard this song in 77 I was mesmerized beyond belief....its even better when smoking a reef...this song deserves a hell of a lotta more respect....don't you think folks?...

Such great memories of the 70s every time i crank up this amazing rock classic.

Amazing

Happy 69th Birthday today Jerry! I'm remembering a front seat show on our porch when we were kids! What a privilege! Thank you Jerry for the great kid times we had, and say hello to the family. ♥

Jerry has got a great guitar tone . He always has .

wow they still sound good and his voice still rocks !!!!

Brilliant. Oh how new music has fallen from grace.

SO AWESOME!!

RIP

Damn, missed him, he plays is so little in Ontario anymore. Remember his performance at Mac, when he just came back from LA. At the start sadly only about 50 people there, he asked should we play, we all said hell YEAH he did and rocked the roof, by concerts end there were over 1,000 people streaming in from all over the campus, the word was out The Deuce was Loose. 3 weeks later before 30,000 at the Ex, he opened for Triumph was given his Gold Record for "Mama" and at the end of his set fired off a magnificent 17 minute version of Mama, blew the place away, Triumph were asses, so no encore given. Was the first time Triumph was booed when they came out in front of their home boys, was not a pretty site, well actually it was.

For the first few years after this song came out, I never heard who the artist was. I thought it was Bob Seger. LOL. When I learned that Doucette was a Canadian from Hamilton. Cool another great Canadian artist! And he can play! Thanks mama!!

Very Impressive Jerry

RIP😣

One of the catchiest songs ever heard and with reason.Great job Jerry,thanks for the contribution to Canadian Rock.

I have a friend from Hamilton who is a badass guitar player named Terry Doucette. I saw Jerry perform this song in about 1982 at the Surfside Cabaret in Victoria BC. He had a double Marshall stack and it was the loudest sound pressure I had experienced in my life to that point.

This song goes way back that i why i looked it up,glad to see jerry still cranking the music! Love this song!

Jerry Doucette is without a doubt one of Canada's very best ..keep on a rockin' we re all better as people for it as music lovers..one very fine person

Wish that my best friend who loved this song was still here to listen with me, miss him dearly!

Actually got chills down my spine listening to this. Still amazing. Played this ALL the time at "Friendly City Rock", WTCS (Fairmont, WV)...

He looks great! I love the horns on this! Awesome tune!

I have not heard this for well over 30 some years .Great .

Never saw him do anything live . This song got some decent airplay here in CA. Slick guitarist . Dig this .Thanks .

Give it hell he's still inside his first pair of shoes. He's just a baby., ♥️😂

Just try to stay sitting down to this Canadian anthem!!

Epic 👊 Indeed ,Jerry Doucette 🍁. Still Sounds,Great

Now THIS is Rock N Roll!

Sounds like the record. Fantastic guitar player. Great voice too. This song is played all the time on C103 in Moncton 40 years later.

He still has it!

Sounds great with the horns. Chills!

Really enjoyed this performance , I’ve always admired Jerry

🤘🏻.

Song!

This song played constantly on the radio when it first came out. Great guitar riff. Nice job Steve!!

Still killer . Crank that amp a little higher!

Still sounds great!

Man oh man! I love your music! Always have.... I was born in Jan of 1977 and just a few short years on from there I started retaining my first memories of your songs as your albums were regular staples in our home for many years, right along side of other great local'ish bands, like, Downchild Blues Band, Doug and the Slugs, I have to take ownership for us here hehe, Penticton's own Mike Rynoski aka Mike Reno and Loverboy....oh there are so many!

Jerry you've come a long way since playing in my uncle Ralph's band in the late 60's on Dewitt Rd. in Stoney Creek, Hamilton Ontario.

STILL ROCKIN JERRY...MY HATS OFF TO YOU BRO....LETS SIT DOWN SMOKE A DOBBIE AND JAM!

Would love to see him play at SUMMERFEST in Milwaukee ! would drive the 5 hrs to see him very big in the midwest in late 70s early 80s

WOW...super tight!!

Love this song, love Doucette, long let him play.. but what a sad audience to play to.. unreal that they are just sitting there like that. Times they are a changing.

Still rockin in the shadow. We're from the same school, although a generation separates us. Kids from the first part of the 80's or so called xennials salutes you. I feel like our bands could share some history.

Been a long time since those Bishop Ryan talent shows with The Reefers
