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 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
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.
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🍺
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
@@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.!!!!!
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!!!
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...."
One of the most underrated bands ever
Big fuckin' UNDERST8MENT, Bob. Likewise w/Triumph, Trooper, Max Webster/Kim Mitchell, & Ian Thomas.

When will the way overrated ‘term’ {underrated} disappear in comments section…😛
Now that is a fucking rock show. No cell phones, no backing tracks, no bullshit straight up kick you in the teeth rock n roll.
I grew up in that Era, lighters, not cell phones.
Everything was better then.
Bands like this make me proud to be Canadian. So sick. Being 23 today is pretty sweet but I bet it was even sweeter in the 80s
Oh looky kids...REAL INSTRUMENTS....REAL VOICES.....REAL MUSIC....oh my-yy!
Back when talent was strong and the music was great. Love me some April Wine. But then so do the neighbors.
Nice

One of Canada's best band's ever! These boys still kick ass in 2015.
Rest easy Myles... I cannot express in words the inspiration as a musician that you have gifted me
April Wine in my books are one of Canada's BEST rock bands
this was the golden lineup. power to spare.

That show was LOUD AF!🤟
I heard that concert announcement on 94 rock , I missed it was still in middle school when that concert
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
I saw April Wine same year in Denver Colorado USA and they absolutely shredded it. Phenomenal Musicianship and Consummate Professionals.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
we ALL took this music for granted. just look at what we got now!!!!!!!! what happened?
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.
Not many bands like this anymore or concerts…..Rock On…..🤘🏼🤘🏼
More guitars = more better.
The glory days of rock.
I wore this record out on my turntable in 1980 when I was 16.
All bands should be like this
Best rock of 70´s
I’m 69 @ the 70’s were the best, if you ever seen the drummer do a solo , even John bonham would be proud!
That was bad ass i had no idea they got that big in the states. Thats was quite a production.
I think they didn't get that big in the states until the late 70's because their manager at the time just focused on Canada.
I am 53, and I rock this hard, and dance my ass off!!!
That kicked some serious butt. Wow!
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🍺
Put these guys in the rock n roll hall of fame !
Add Bad Company/Paul Rodgers/Free as well...but you are right, These guys ruled.
I agree
Yes totally there awesome.

BIG April Wine fan here. I play most of their songs often!
Roger S.; U definitely play 'em LOUD & FUCKIN' PROUD!!!!!
I've liked this band for 40 years. Great songwriting.
They tore the roof off in Mobile Ala . in 1982 , great show
Love the perms........this is rock & roll at it's finest
Only drummer rival was Ginger Baker of Cream (retired near,me in Tilbach, Cape town..awful arthrites of his hands)..this band truly ROCKS!
Seen them in concert. One hell of a band. And a hell of a show. April Wine kicks ass
I don't know why AW wasn't a major headlining band. Great songs and they could play their asses off.
An Awesome Band. An Awesome Era in music.
Damm. This Rocks. Badassary guitar solo.

Damn fuckin' right. The L8, GR8 Jimmy Clench.(also played w/BTO).
Just a solid kick ass rock n roll band.
