I always considered it criminal that this song isn't consistently named as one of the greatest rock tunes of all time. Kudos to Chilliwack from the lower 48.
I had the great honour of doing a bit of a media blitz with Bill when I worked for A&M records in the 80s. This man is a role model for all men on how to behave and how to treat others. It was only 6 hours in a car together but that was the day I learned about dignity, compassion & loyalty
This is a song written by a young Chilliwack that was already difficult to sing in 1975, the fact that they were still even daring to attempt it so many years later, let alone pulling it off well, is commendable. I am 29 and feel like my voice is probably already beyond some of those notes.
All true. The original singer on the high ahh’s was Howard Froese, who also played guitar during this era of the band. Pretty spectacular singer and musician overall.
As an irish immagrant who landed in vancouver in 2015.finding this band has been one of the highlights.i play and sing a little and cant believe these guys still play so well after so many years.legends
I saw them in the late 70's at Rideau Carleton race track in Ottawa Ontario Canada, they opened for the Eagles on they're Hotel California tour . They blew 35,000 minds away , we cheered for more they were fantastic !! However to no avail, due to the next act . I've been playing ( guitar 🎸) your music to this day , and will continue to do so , till I hit that big mattress in the sky Thanks guy's for all of the awesome tunes ❤
What an absolute delight to see such a great old act aging with grace. I'm so over rock stars who look like a caricature of their younger selves - way to just be yourselves guys. You sound great too :)
What a great tribute song to their fans. Most bands try writing a song like this but Fly at Night nails it perfectly. Most artists just say a big fake “I love you”, but Chilliwack makes you feel the love they have for their fans.
It’s so surreal when looking at my playlist I use when I’m on my chopper, 80% are Canadian bands. This in particular is an epic song. Triumph, Rush, and on and on.
one of my absolute fav albums...I bought a bunch of these and sent them to friends in the states that were curious at our music...all they hear was 3 dog night....this was a great album to share.
Saw them at at a small bar around ten years ago. When they played Fly At Night i got up and stood about 5 ft from Bill during the entire song. It was AWESOME
Just found this and it's still a timeless Canadian R&R wonder!!! I first heard this track on the radio in Wausau, Wisconsin in the mid seventies... nothing but Awesomeness!!!
One of my favourite songs of all time! I remember hearing this and falling in love instantly. Still spreading this song to as many people as I can as I grow older.
One of my fav all time bands so many good songs and sad to have seen the early passing of one of my fav axe men to loud McLeod miss him 148 heavy …..🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 5:08
Bill's voice was a little strained at this performance but that don't matter. Still a great song and performance. Just wish Ross Turney was still around though.
I find it very disheartening that with our vast collection of acclaimed Canadian musicians with their incredible songs? Canadian radio programming, in their infinite idiocy of how to perform their jobs, instead play the same freaking song until you literally scream in outrage and frustration. They are geniuses at only one thing. KILLING A GREAT SONG BY REPETITIVE PLAY. 💩😒😳😬

100% agree. Absolutely classic songwriting.
Right there with you. Chilliwack is legendary
beyond bloody brilliant ... & all their hits ... too damn good !!!
My favourite tune from them ,greetings from ,Quebec.
I couldn't agree anymore!

Look up Bill doing it with Taylor James ,she sings the highs best recording of original out there

This has been my all-time favorite air-guitar song as a kid ..and as an adult. 🙂
Proudly Canadian and even better Proudly British Columbian its a all time stand out song for Canadian rock history sill standing strong today .
One of my most favourite songs of all time. They deserve this Award. Kudos!!
Thanks Goon for introducing me to this great, great song

Every bit as good as the Eagles. Just not as hyped.

What you are witnessing here are Canadian Legends plying their craft like no else........
Probably one of the better pop songs ever put out. In my view.
Chilliwack still rocks after all those long decades.💯🤘🤘
Still Sound Amazing After All These Years 🤘🤘✌✌
Can't wait to see Chilliwack live tonight at the Burlington Sound of Music Festival!
Take me back to the 70’s . Ahhh yes !!!
One great song. I'm surprised this has been viewed only 800 times, what a shame.
Henderson still had the pipes for this tune here. Always been one of the great rock tunes. Thanks for being part of the soundtrack of my life.

Love these guys. As a Yankee, I never understood why they weren't bigger. Great songwriting and musicianship.
They still got their chops after all these years. Great performance of a great song.
Saw them at at a small bar around ten years ago. When they played Fly At Night i got up and stood about 5 ft from Bill during the entire song. It was AWESOME

One of the best songs ever.
Some Canadian gold there
Saw them in Edmonton this summer, still sounding great!!
Much respect for not getting other vocalists to hit the high notes or using a pre-recorded track. True rock 'n roll!
Great music never ages even if the messengers do.
Absolutely , a great song never becomes un-great !Greetings from ,Quebec.
Very well said !!!!
So nice to hear and see a recording that's obviously raw and hasn't had some producer digitally correcting every little mistake.
Still an outstanding voice! Love you and the band Bill. Keep on rockin :)
He sounds great ! Canadian gems right here!!
Wow.... Just wow.
Fawkin sweet!! Glad to have scene this.. This song has a wide range to sing.. Loved the preformance.. Great job!!
Love this song, starts low builds to a crescendo then lets you back down gently. And good topic as well.

How is not in the rock and roll hall of fame
Anyone else notice that around 2:09 first solo rip he was like … f*ck it “ I’m a go straight lynard skynard freebird ”, ? 😂
The voices may not be as strong as once was, but the music is holding up well.
🥰
Who downvoted this video?????? Wtf man!?
There's no accounting for taste.
CBC Music And I have no taste for accounting.
Justin Bieber fan....
@@keithmills778 Hahaha ,your clever .
If you dont think this is one of the best songs of the 70s ill fight you.
Esther Scherzinger ❤
We all gotta get old eh.. Great tune..
😂great artists just like every CANADIAN BAND, I'M NOT SORRY TO SAY, WE GOT THE BEAT: THANKS. GO GO'S LOVE YOU TO 😍
👍👍
This great song is my evidence, and proof of exactly what I'm saying .
i got to hang out with bill , what a super nice guy he is , can i be that nice
Bill's voice was a little strained at this performance but that don't matter. Still a great song and performance. Just wish Ross Turney was still around though.
Check Taylor James Show version. Other comments reserved. You judge. Great song.
The Taylor James version pretty much blows it out of the park. Stunning isn’t even enough.
Amazing band better bring your A game if you are going to jam with bill
Wow, maybe the drummer couldn’t hear the other guys?
And they all died after the show. 😆😆
No they are greater than anything.

3 zombies and bill henderson
A little more practice and these guys might have a hit.
