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
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
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?!!
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 That joy has been replaced by retirement and the daily work of keeping things fixed and staying well.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 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.
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!"
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
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.
Rest in Peace Robbie Bachman from the band called Bachman Turner i always listened and watched all ur songs and videos i always wanted to see you live in concert but there was always something in my way i was not able to come and see you in person it was just devastating heart breaking to hear about ur death in the year 2023 u was only 69 it sucks u did not celebrated ur 70 birthday u will never know u had a huge Canadian fan from British Columbia u have touched and inspired so many people all around the world with ur talents and ur lovely and amazing singing voice and u played the drums and the guitar u was very talented u will be sadly loved and missed by ur family and friends ur fans all over the world i just cant get over that the fact that the world has lost one great and amazing legend u have inspired me with ur music and videos u will be forever in my thoughts and prayers u wont be forgotten rest in peace my friend Robbie Bachman
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. 🤣
@@bernhard254 Routine cancer screenings that elites try to prevent people from getting! They all say it's a waste of resources but if we all got them most of us would see the year 3000!
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!❤
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! 👍💯🥁🏳🌈🐺😻🔔🍔🍁

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."
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.
Now ain't that the goddamn truth, this will still sound fresh a hundred years from now, the same as all 1970's hits, more than can be said for anything produced nowadays.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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!
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."
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!!😂
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 wish as a working class man I could afford any of those bad a$$ cars! I'm 55 and those cars were always out of reach to my generation. But I'm a humongous fan!
So sad that Robbie Bachman, the Drummer of Bachman Turner Overdrive passed away. BTO will always be one of my top favorites Rock Bands!!! Comforting prayers to his family & friends & fans.
Lead guitarist could make their guitars sing! It was impossible to sit still! Parts of your body instantly move when the rock music from the 70-80's is being played. Pure magic☺️.
@@jonsebastian95 - "Lonely This Christmas" by Mud. Never p!$$ed in a pot on the U.S. charts. None of their stuff. And not just "officially." "YASNY" was kept at #2 on both the NME and Melody Maker charts.
The Fender Strat is ubiquitous in Rock. The Fender Telecaster is also a staple piece. But that Gibson SG that Blair Thornton is playing is THE cornerstone guitar of most every Rock band of renown since it was first developed. BTO, AC/DC, Derek Trucks, Black Sabbath, The Doors, Uriah Heep, Frank Zappa...and the list goes on.
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!!! 👏👏😁👍🤘☝️🎸🥁🎵🎶
ABSOLUTELY A CLASSIC AND I NEVER GET TIRED OF HEARING THIS TUNE! THIS TUNE WILL ALWAYS BE DISCOVERED AND LOVED BY GENERATION AFTER GENERATION! IT'S A GOLDEN HIT!
@@NIGHTMAREDEATH101 Allex, true. Nostalgia? Sounds and experiences, smells, tastes and the first awareness of love. The longing for it. Music, if the world could invest all money going for war and weapons in music...!🤔😀🎵🎶🎵🔊🔊
Charts today are crap. But there is good music out there. You have to dig for it. There is one reason why new songs have a hard time to compete: you don't have good memories and good feelings (yet) to the new songs. If you open your heart to give the new music a chance you may like it.

@@RM-lk1so So if you say "NEVER EVER" IMHO this means you are as close-hearted as the people in the sixties / seventies sayd to rock'n roll "what a devils music"
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.
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 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.
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.
There's no telling how much I love this song and video: the lyrics, the energy, that infectious guitar in the chorus, the stuttering, the singer's eyes, the drummer's hair, the vibes, everything! 70s gem.
Man, as a teen in the mid 70's to early 80's, I smoked a shit ton of weed and jammed on BTO, 10 years after, Shel Silverstein, etc., was a great time in life and all I wanted to do was graduate HS, hit college and become an adult. Now after a 21 year military career and life as a prime power production specialist...I wish I had never wanted to grow up so fast and had actually had 'more' fun and not have the stress of adulthood.
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!
In memory of Rob Bachman, who kept the rhythm going in perfect time as member in good standing of Bachman-Turner Overdrive. “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet” remains one of my all-time favorite songs.
The song is literally a joke about his brother's/band manager speech impediment.... it was never meant to be released.. when it came time to put out their 3rd studio album, the record company said it was" missing something" and that's how this was added to the record
this song and takine care of business a song so great the named a movie after it. they just don't make bands like they did in yester year bto reo aero smith lynard skynard styx. all great bands never will they have bands like that again.
I was 10 and my parents had just moved with me to Toronto from San Rafael. This song was all over Canadian radio. I thought “these Canadians really have good music.” So many great artists!

Brings back some sweet memories, don’t it?
Better days, man and so much younger ...
Does everybody agree ,that this is a masterpiece?
one of the best produced music ever
was a good way to test your 6 x 9's pioneers and a floor mounted craig
Still awesome
Way past masterpiece just can not find the right word but BTO!!!

115 is the new 90

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.
I'm 74 loved the song from day one read an item the other day people want it banned as its an insult to people who stutter how stupid lol x 😆
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!❤
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! 👍💯🥁🏳🌈🐺😻🔔🍔🍁
Steam engine indeed. I can't even follow his moves in this video. I have no idea how he created that sound.

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
@@brianmallen8887 Yes. Nobody was swiping left 10,000 times. "So I took what I could get".

@@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."
Here is something I won’t forget(ever) ! 74 was a great year- long live rock
turns 65 this year. Never forget this. still going strong....
Turned 66 wife passed away last year 😢 but the song gos on ❤

Luckily when this song was on the airwaves for the first time I had already met my woman brown eyes and all. 1974. Best year of my entire life.
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.
Just a classic piece of rock music, it sounded great when it came out and it still sounds great 45 years later.
True Class
Now ain't that the goddamn truth, this will still sound fresh a hundred years from now, the same as all 1970's hits, more than can be said for anything produced nowadays.

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.
Proof that Canadians can rock with the best of them
I say back then.. now not so much
check out Jery darby, sound engineer par excelance,...
BTO is one of the best rock bands ever. They have so many bangers
Wait, they're canadian? How are so many amazing bands from my home country?
Niel Young.
In 1974 I graduated high school with a speech impediment and stutter. This became my song.
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.
I was a freshman at Michigan State University 1974, , this song moved you to dance and romance. The Good Ole Days!
As long as we old guys are alive we vote for such songs 🙄😉🤣🤣🤣🤷♂ Love it.. music full of energy.
Old my ass, it's old saying.
It’s one of the finest Rock n Roll songs of all time Thank you Canada!😮
Arguably the greatest pop song of the 70's
Are you the love Seattle SuperSonics guy?
Not even close Rick
O CANADA
One of my favorite songs of all time!!
In 1974, I used to listen to BTO on cassette until it worn out.
Me on 8 track
I played the record so much the needle wore right through it, and started playing the other side backwards.
❤️ 1970s music era, greatest music ever
Graduated that year, we had a hell of a graduation night after party on the river!!
Now you can listen to it on TH-cam until your worn out
This song, along with 'Takin' Care of Business' are both timeless, ageless 1970's era classics by Bachman Turner Overdrive.
65 here and I’ve always loved this song ❤
It's a crying shame we don't have this type of music today. I only listen to Classic Rock. Long live the 60s and 70s
Shame about this singer doing from rock star to going to a joke in the ‘Hangover’ movies🤡🌏😂😂

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."
Pass THAT spike in my DIRECTION
First time I heard it, other than the hiccup style of Buddy Holly, was Roger Daltry doing My Generation, but BTO absolutely mastered it
I call this a summer anthem short shorts halter tops cool
@ Pandora, true! I love the story behind the stuttering. I thought it was genius!
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!!😂
God I really miss the 70's
I was 12 when this came out and I loved it.
I'm 61 now and hate my life.
IM 62 AND FEEL THE SAME WAY. KEEP YOUR CHIN UP AND SMILE THAT WE HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR. IM THE LAST ONE LEFT OF ALL MY FREINDS. TAKE CARE BUDDY
I don't hate my life but we grew up with the best music. Keep listening to the good tunes of our past.Take care
I love you
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.

Charts today are crap. But there is good music out there. You have to dig for it.
There is one reason why new songs have a hard time to compete:
you don't have good memories and good feelings (yet) to the new songs.
If you open your heart to give the new music a chance you may like it.
If you like rock'n roll with screaming guitars

Plenty of good musicians out there who still know how to play instruments. Some of us actually go out and watch them play live.
