April Wine is a Canadian rock band formed in 1969 and based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The band enjoyed international success in the 1970s and 1980s, releasing more than 20 albums since 1971 - เพลง
I'm 57, been to over 450 concerts, growing up in Washington state, we would either see shows in Seattle or up in Vancouver British Columbia. This band, is one if the bands that is better live than on record, killer live act, underrated band in my opinion, always worth the money to see them on stage
Every band is better live than in person.
Just turned 58 RØÇK-tober 25th 😎 🎶 from Alberta, Canada LOTs of Hard n Heavy ROCK in Calgary & Vancouver
@@MrJohnnyDistortionnot necessarily…. “Milli Vanilli “
@@MrJohnnyDistortion Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, not really known as great live performances.
Fantastic Music, just not much of a LIVE act.
In 1981/1982 I saw April Wine at Detroit's Cobo Arena, they were fantastic.
April Wine performed a song live that used a Steel Triangle, I don't know the name of the song, however it blew everyone away at the concert. Does anyone knows what song I'm trying to think of?
@@hkguitar1984
What are some of the lyrics to that triangle song?
April Wine and Triumph were two of my favorites in high school (1980-1983). Still enjoy watching and listening at age 54!
I'm also 54 class of 85 I love April wine too
@@brianlegault5114, Class of 82', love em' til this day. Saw them my senior year in high school late 1981 and they rocked! Along with Triumph and Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush, a trio of great, great Canadian bands that never fully got their proper due, IMO.
Yeah me to brother. I’m with ya on that! Class of 84! Got to see VH front row in Cincinnati Ohio on my 16th birthday to.
I remember how big those bands were in 1980-1983.Triumph seemed to have a little more staying power,though.
Wore those cassettes out
Nature of the Beast is probably one of the most underrated rock albums of all time. April Wine at their peak here!
And I'm 72 and still enjoy the great music of my youth. Nature of the Beast is one of my all time faves!
I just picked up a beautiful brand new pressing of nature of the beast. I think I’ve added about a year now it’s Ruby red see-through, and it sounds wonderful on my 78 Kenwood.
How they didn't get huge is beyond me? This band is so underrated!
Like UFO. Just doesn't make sense !!!
And Trooper
@@driftindreamer1517 I've never heard of them? can you suggest a few songs for me to listen to?
@@Roman-od3iy Before the dawn,weeping widow,electric jewels,lady run lady hide,say hello,slowpoke,tonite is a wonderful time to fall in love,sons of the pioneers,love has remembered me,the whole world is going crazy,Oowatanite,you won't dance with me,rock myself to sleep,this could be the right one,rock'n roll is a vicious game,you could have been a lady,you won't dance with me,like a lover like a song,and the song that hooked me when i was about 6,Bad Side of the Moon.Those are in no particular order but should give you a decent idea as to the scope of the Band.Hope you enjoy our Boys from Nova Scotia.
Canadian .. thats why lol
Heard the sad news today of the passing of Myles Goodwyn, December 3, 2023. So, thought I'd take a trip down memory lane and reminisce with a band that played the backdrop of my youth. April Wine was one of the hardest working bands especially of the 70's and 80's, blasting hit after hit after hit, and they just kept coming. IMHO they didn't get the recognition they deserved. April Wine was one of the best live acts to see and Myles was one of those multi-talented singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer people that stood out like no other. This band is so awesome it kills me. I am so thankful for their countless hits. So proud to be Canadian! RIP Myles Goodwin!
Great comment sir.
100% agree!!!
@hermosodude3814 Thank you brother!
Canada, for being such a small population, really produced some incredible musicians and bands in the 70’s and 80’s.
Man, I loved this band back in the 80s. I'm 56 and April Wine is still one of my all-time fav bands! So underrated!
RIGHT ON 👍🕺🎸🎵
Simply one of the best Rock Bands of the 70's n 80's. I've attended dozens of their concerts. Jerry Mercer is retired, Steve Lang has passed away and Myles Goodwyn is about to stop touring. 16 studio albums with multiple live n Greatest Hits compilations. 1969-2023 (so far) Just great rock.
RIP Myles Goodwyn. This was huge when it was shown on MTV. Thanks for all the great music.
I had know idea he passed. So sad!!!
I didn't hear that he had passed. A couple bands I was a part of played April Wine songs. Mainly "I like to rock" and "roller". Underrated band, great live.
😭🙏❤️rest easy bro
Myles Francis Goodwyn
June 23, 1948 - December 3, 2023
First time watching this at 1AM, 30 years old and regret not being born back then. Thanks for making my night golden April Wine, I appreciate you.
I rocked first glance when it came out, was an incredible time
The best band that didn’t receive super star status.Love the music.
I'm 60, seen so many concerts in my life, April Wine still ranks as one of the best I've ever seen, so amazing! R.I.P. Myles you kicked ass until the end .....
I saw them live back in 2002 and 2003 and they put killer shows.
April Wine rocks.
I live in the UK and I have loved April Wine for many years; they were a massive part of my teenage years back in the early/mid 80s. This is the first time that I have learned of Myles's death ! It seems that so many of my favourites have passed now.
That is very sad when they pass away but the good memories and the good music will live on forever.🤘🤘
Yes certainly sad but as you say the good memories and music will definitely continue to delight us.
I agree.
Very good set list . What I would do to go back to 1981-89.
Canada's best musical export.🤘🤘
Discovered April Wine last year, I'm 44 and never knew they existed. Part of me is gutted that I did not grow up with them, and the other half is banging as I've found a total gem. They are so good live they embarrass other rock bands.
Well to be fair I imagine you are not in Canada right? This concert was in the UK but the band didn't get any airplay there and in the USA they did better but still underrated. Glad I grew up in Canada listening to this band. First April Wine song I ever heard was Rock and Roll is a Vicious Game
Three guitars, one of the tightest band we've ever seen ! Unpretencious, underrated, professionals to the bone, pure and true rock musicianship !
FRANCOIS APRIL WINE IS OFF THE HOOK WOOOOW
Aladdin Hotel Vegas 1982 great show!!!
& Uriah Heap was good too...
You nailed that right on the head bro.... Thanks
@@jeffhadland140 Love Uriah Heep, one of my favourite bands growing up!!!
@@playsbass1969 WOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP Myles Goodwin
R.i.p myles goodwyn april wine what a band up there with the best of the best god bless you❤
April Wine was great. They should have been bigger than they were. Great songwriting, great playing, and great vocals.
They captured me and ROCKED me at age 20. I'm now 63 and still loving the music. Awesome video affects as well....R.I.P. Myles, thanks for the music..
So tight. 3 lead guitars playing in unison. Great harmonies. Amazing songwriting. This band had it all. Memories...
RIP Myles Goodwyn. Rocker to the end.
I seen them in Dallas in 81. Awesome concert and album!!!!!!! Look ya damn kids NO AUTO-TUNE! Just pure, real talent!

I had the privilege of opening for AW with my band twice back in the late 1990's. Winnipeg. Canadian Rock when it was REALLY ROCK N ROLL!!! BTO APRIL WINE TROOPER PRISM Those Bands got the Shit end of the stick when it came to fame and fortune! They were incredible excellent song writers and as cool as any group the USA ever had and then some!! "Future Tense" ROCKS! So do so many of their great songs!
Rush, Triumph, April Wine! Canada really put out some bangers!
Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush!also
April Wine my favorite out of Canada and it's not even close for me . Rip to the legend Myles G .👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼
tip of the Iceberg...
Guess Who and BTO
Hells bells..👈😁..Gordon Lightfoot
Some of the most talented musicians ever.
First time I heard April Wine was on a road trip to Canada and back with my parents. Forever for now, on 8-track.
sign of the gypsy queen is one of the best songs I ever heard from a guitarist perspective. The riff and melodies are out of this world.
Sign of the Gypsy Queen was written 100% by Lorence Hud and performed 100% acoustic on his debut solo album. Look it up. Myles and Lorence were friends. They co-wrote "Victim for Your Love" on "Stand Back". One of my favorites from April Wine.
@@Darin.Pearson Yes I live in the city where Lorence grew up, he went to our university here, and he wrote sign of gypsy queen for his music class. As far as I remember, his music prof really didn't think it was that good. Hopefully hes not a prof anymore, he was sure wrong. R I P myles , up there with Eddie and the gang, rocking away 🙏
@gm-lb9oe That's awesome. My dad had his first solo album so I heard "Sign of the Gypsy Queen" long before April Wine recorded it. "Master of Pantomime" is also a great song. I didn't realize Lorence also co-wrote Victim for your Love until Myles credited him to the audience on a live performance. Another great Lorence composition. Thanks for sharing your story. I still have Lorence's first album in excellent condition. I had it professionally recorded onto a CD.
@@Darin.Pearson hey, oh wow. I sure wish I had a copy of that. Last I heard about lorence, he moved out to Ontario, Canada, and was fighting our government or the Ontario provincial government about a creek that was running through his property. He put up barricades, the whole nine yards. I'm sure if you Google him, the story will come up. Can't believe you have the record, wow, keep in great condition. He sure had a gift of writing music thats for sure 👍
Jerry the best rock drummer to ever exist, im so lucky i got to see this line up❤😂
Still bring out my Nature of the Beast album and crank it up when I have the house to myself..
April Wine was amazing and deserved much more credit than they received on American radio.
R.I.P. Myles and rock on....\m/
I'm doing this right now! 😊
They don't make music like this anymore. Mind blowing.
North Carolina here and my friends and I listened to April Wine all the time in the early 80s. Played the Nature of the Beast Cassette Tape back when cruising was still legal... South Stratford Road Winston-Salem. Best Times Ever!
Absofuckinglutely one of the GOAT Rock n Roll bands. Every members talent brought lots to the table!!🤘😎🤘
Man this is so good!! 61 and still listen to these guys. Jerry is a Beast of the Drums!! Last time I saw them was in a Bar. I felt bad but I was in the Front Rockin’!! Myles handed me a Pick and I got to meet all of them. It was incredible!! I don’t remember the year. But Jim was back in the Band.
I saw April Wine on January 11, 1980 with Foreigner and Rick Derringer. Killer Show!!
It would be.
poca madre bro¡¡¡
We'e going to see them Friday night at the CNE in Toronto. Band shell - free show!!! Used to see them on New Years Eve with RUSH and Max Webster at the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. in the late 70's
Oh man. Killer line-up.
@ Jim When I seen them the opening act was Molly Hatchet. I still got the ticket stub the exact date was Feb. 27, 1981. ROCK ON!
You know you are giving the crowd their monies worth when you can perform one of their favorite hits and make it more epic than the studio version. Enjoy the vids, cause this era is never returning.
I was at this gig, friggin’ brilliant. Saw them previously at donnington, criminally underrated
Very Underrated Band.. SPECTACULAR TIMES..
I LOVE THE 3 GUITARISTS Bass and drummer
Unbelievable.
Not many STUDIO recordings sound this good.
True proffesionals.
They are one talented group of crazy Kanuck brother-fackazzz. I love April Wine!!!!! Even if they are from Montreal...
Try Nova Scotia they relocated to Montreal
This sounds like a "studio" album 😉
@@artwerkonline Waverley, Nova Scotia actually. :-)
Can't believe they had the sheer GUTS to cover a King Crimson song before a British audience - and they pulled it off in spades!! (The song is "21st Century Schizoid Man")
Great comment. And yes. They sure did. Awesome!!!
Underrated is the word that comes to mind. Great rock guitar playing.
Amazing Band Howeverrirrrrrated?
goin to see them in 2 wks time 4th time for me... one of the best bands to call our own here in Canada
Saw then on this and two following tours. Amazing live band. Last time I saw them live they were playing at my union's picnic...
Just watched and listened all day. Is one of my favorite bands. We rocked them through highschool. The songs and music sound so "complete".
I’ve seen AW 20+ times. This is one of my favourite versions with the 3 guitar attack. RIP MG.
13 year old me stumbled upon the Nature of the Beast album because the album cover was a contradiction to the hit ballad they had. Thank god for that curiosity. It's still my favorite album ever. April Wine rocks! Pure and simple.
April Wine defined my childhood. I listened to CHEZ 106 in Ottawa religiously. This performance is legendary.
CHUM reached my borer town. Q107. CFNY. CIUT.
I agree with all the comments on this video. This live performance sounds like a studio recording. Absolutely amazing.
What an enormous Talent. Last November superb. Absolute maestros.
These guys know how to Rock! I've known them since 1970's!
Takes me back to my youth. Must have worn out half a dozen cassettes of nature of the beast and harder faster. One of my all time favorite bands.
My dad was telling stories of some of the shows he went to back in the day, and April Wine came up. These guys kick ass!
One of my faves in HS...simple 3 chord songs with 3 guitars give ample room for some cool dynamics...great rock voices, great band...RIP Myles and Steve.
I’m 60 , and we just listened to this whole fricken concert and that was so awesome , April Wine lives on forever , Love You guys forever !!!!!!!! Now I need to find a woman that loves 80’s rock to and we can live the next 40 years, Rockin out !!!!!
Watching this made me remember another band with 3 guitar players ,,, 38 special , and they rocked
.38 Special released thier seminal album"Wild Eyed Southern Boys"in 1981 as well.Rock n Roll came back hard that year.
Wow!!!!!!!! I can’t believe how good they sound. Especially the vocals on Just Between You and Me. Both lead and backing.
One of the best bands ever! Brings back a lot of great memories
Music will never be the same, I was lucky to be 20 when this came out, we were rocking' mo fo's!!!
Good Human " Gone away, gone ahead "...Thanks for the Music
These were just a group of fun loving wide-eyed Canadian kids who happened to be talented musicians who loved making great music for fans all over the world and they never forgot their roots or let success go to their heads. Myles and the gang made fond memories and positive impacts on the lives of millions of young people in the 70s and 80s and fortunately their music will live on for future generations to enjoy. Thanks for the music and the memories!
not even on drugs and im in happyville watching this THANKS!!!!
😹🤘😵😵👽👽
Good heavens, man, pause the video and get on drugs immediately
Soooo many great Rock Bands from Canada.
Without question the most underrated band ever.
My all time favourite band for 50 years. Each member brings his unique and amazing talent to the group but what can I say about Jerry on the drums. Absolute beast and one of the best in my opinion 😊❤ RIP my idol Myles Goodwyn, I just can’t believe you’re gone 💔
I got to see April Wine on the POWER PLAY tour in 1982 or 1983 in Kansas City. Eddie Money opened. I thought they were an underrated band that should have been as big in the States as other AOR giants like Styx, Foreigner, Journey, and REO Speedwagon (to name a few). Their albums were consistently good with very little 'filler.' Glad I got to see April Wine in their prime! 👍
Missouri is a April Wine state ... St Louis loves April Wine.... Glad KC does too ..... Rip to the awesome Myles ✌🏼🤘🏼👍🏼
Gutted to hear the news that Myles Goodwyn has died - condolences to his fans and friends, he was a legend in Canadian music 🎶😞🎶 #RIP
R.I.P. Myles Goodwyn.
Good Lord!! This is the Holy Grail when it comes to live April Wine!! Perfection!!!
Great concert, so sad I waited so long to watch it. listen to them in the late 80's should of keep up more.
25:25 the leavel of interaction between 3 guitars, and how do you not hear you Miles voice give it the mellow tone. Three solos all on top of each other with harmony. TALENT ! ! !
Three guitars is a bit much. Only reserved for southern rock bands. Get a damn loop pedal.
@@DaveAnchovies lol….AW ROCK.
It's almost like we saw two different people.. that heavy duty Rock God on stage and a gentle loving soul that that we were lucky to have back in our home province of Nova Scotia a giant like him living back amongst us till the end
RIP Myles.wish they would have played in the states .never got to see them 😢
Triple attack! Myles, Brian and Gary on guitars!
Rest easy Myles. You left an incredible legacy throughout your musical career. Thank you for being a part of my life growing up and being an inspiration.
the most underated rock band ever!!...
umm, no way. underrated...means you never had a song or played an arena. a band a cult following worship is underrated.
One of the very best bands to be on the planet at this time. Great songs and stage performance! Myles is in Halifax and continues to make world class music and we feel very fortunate to call him our own!!
Sorry for your loss 🙏 Myles and April Wine will always be in the hearts of Rock fans in St Louis Missouri .... April Wine came here many times as they are friends with K- She 95 the longest still going Rock station in the world . Myles was amazing ... April Wine is in my top 5 bands ever they deserved more from the genre. These guys truly amazing live .
probably one of the coolest live shows I experienced in the early 80s. Everyone plays an instument---backing tracks are treason punishable by death
Incredible, every moment is perfection just beautiful can't stop watching and don't want to
When these boys cover someone else's song they just crush it! Sign of the Gypsy Queen, Could of Been a Lady, Bad Side of the Moon. All amazing!
Wade Harten They had a TON of their own music that was just plain BAD ASS!
21st century schizoid man. who covers this?? who could cover it now? i am sure slash could have but wheres the band that could back him?
April wine covered those songs!???
Dang, I definitely didn't know that
This version if SOTGQ is simply epic. Beats the studio version by a mile.
R.I.P. Myles. 😢
I saw them in 1976 in Montreal..they opened with OOWATANITE...Awesome show
@25:30 BEST VERSION OF Sign of the Gypsy Queen I've literally ever ! One of my favorite songs back81/82 in high school, damn we are getting older and there's not 1 new band of today thats this tight! One of the reasons I hate technology.....
Absolutely!!!
🤘🏼❤🎶🎸🎤🥁🎶❤🤘🏼
boy are you right on that...you cant buy a tape or cd or your fav band these days ... nothing...i dont even hear any new bands on the radio anymore. where do these bands make there money ... no cd sales every body is stealing there shit off the net . how do they get heard even to promote a concert...?
@@markshuman6261 they make a shitload f money on, T SHIRT, POSTERS, CD'S at concerts and the ticket prices. They still make a good living. Plus older bands still get royalty checks , If they were A HUGE BAND.
Jerry Mercer- The pride of The Rock. May he rock on forever. Thank you Jerry and the good Lord watch over you now and always. Stay healthy and stay safe!!!
My friend plays golf with him sometimes. He's e jkying his retirement. Just don't mention Miles Goodwin 🤣
killer hard rock/proto metal from Canada. Damn shame these guys were not bigger. What a killer hard rock band they were especially during this time period and era. Criminally underrated band.
WOW, what a force of talent! I was a bit young when they came out but listening to them even today I can't help but cranking the stereo to 11. We all lost one of the greats.. 😔
I fell in love with these guys back in the early 80s. My sister had the album and I thought what a cool cover LOL One band I've never been able to see in concert. Thank you for sharing this live video!! ❤❤❤❤
Myles Goodwyn
Brian Greenway
Love their guitar work!
I'll take myles any day!
No band today can touch this !!!!!!
They should have been huge perfect band for the 80 s love this album
Even after 38 years sounding fresh and awesome!
did you mean from this concert or in total? They've been together 50 years, they formed in 1969
What a great band. Those guys are true rock and roll road warriors ... they toured so much it was insane. I first saw them in 1971
what a band! what a buncha great songs, all on one album! no one does that anymore, y'know it?
20 albums, they didnt crack the US until the end, but had minor hits along the way. Blue Oyster Cult didnt need hits to be successful...eventually, they wrote a few. Hits are usually the weak point of the album. Its a record company demand. As long as they sold albums and people liked them. How many hits did the Band have? One?
Gerry Mercer on drums is a BEAST!
I love April Wine!!!!!
One of the most energetic rock bands. It makes me tired just watching them. They put on a great show.
check out Rory Gallagher he gave it his all too
th-cam.com/video/GazzTFxXGeE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Tadhg46
one of the best, undiscovered bands EVER!!!!!! without a doubt. They deserve so much more credit. F^^&&&* awesome band live.
Wicked or What? April Wine Knows How to Rock!!! Live Wow!!! R.I.P. Myles Dec.3rd/2023❤🤍
Never Ever Forgotten...🎸
My fisrt Album was Nature of the Beast. So glad to listen to this performance. Great musicians!
