Canada's #1 underrated band. I saw them in Seattle back in 1989. They were awesome. I'm just glad youtube is around to allow me to get my 54-40 fix. 54-40 should be in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. Wake up, Cleveland!
a smith, just saw them last night for about the 6th time. They are excellent, every time. I agree with everything you say, except about the hall of fame. They deserve to be in a hall of fame, but the one in Cleveland is a joke.
@@wizard71421 Their "When I see you I go blind", song was just inducted into the Writers Hall of Fame(?) This morning they virtually gave it on Toronto BT. Then played the video of them at The El macombo. Yeah! Congrats guys! ✌❤🇨🇦🎶🙏 🇨🇦🐈
its because theyre more folksy than rocking. rock was way more popular than radio pop and folk pop in the 90s in canada. notwithstanding that situation 5440 are an incredible band with a huge catalog of amazing songs :)
These guys are great! I just discovered them tonight. Now they're all mine...a part of my undetermined future to be sure. I'll place them in my "Underrated Category" along with Elearnor Everdell and her "Hundred in the Hands"; The Hoodoo Guru's "Bittersweet"; Paul Kelly's "Before Too Long"; The Sundays; etc.
When I die. I will have a 5440 song picked to play at my funeral. You can be god-damn sure about that. Seen them 4 times. You guys are incredible. Please for god sakes, release a blueray live concert. I'll donate a 100$ to any charity or organization you pick.
and every time I hear this sing I cry... damn. Even 30+ years and hundreds of listens later... live, radio, video, Spotify, no matter. I think it's that because I have seen all the fuss and it's no big deal... no big deal. Grateful for 54-40.
I saw 54.40 live 2 times. Once as a fan, second time I worked security for the show. So, the second show, I didn't have as much fun. BUT, great band....
Just saw them on Friday night...some douche bag stole their guitars, they have had 5 of 7 returned but had to borrow equipment for the show, they were great. played till 12:15 and the new album sounded better live than recorded...Keep on Walking

Another Canadian band worthy of your attention from around that era is the grapes of wrath and Sloan.

Like fine wine and old cars, you could tell them apart, just like this band, their sound and tunes.
Their music is so timeless - I have introduced 5440 to my kids and now they listen as well.
Quantity parenting right there! I took my girls to a Commodore show last year. Yeah, they knew all the words and sang along. Ha
I feel honored to be Canadian. Very honored that I am from the same country as these extraordinary musicians. S W E E T
Man how nice would it be to have that kind of money to have one of the coolest bands in the world play a set at your own personal residence.
Sing ...from the wings 🪽 of a hummingbird 😊

Underrated and appreacuated
Great band to see and the added bonus of listen to Neil Osborne tell stories. Just awesome.
True fact. Hootie and the blowfish started as a 5440 tribute band. Hello from Windsor
Legends at their craft ..Love these guys !
pRoud to be Canadian also! Born n raised Woodstock, got the hell outta there. Tillsonburg now :)
Still love this after 35 years. Since When is a top rate song for all time. Such a tight sound.
Best Canadian band EVER!
sorry thats rush.
Saw them a few times at Wild Bills in Banff, early 2000's. Always a great time having drinks and chatting with them while they were packing up.
I saw 54.40 live 2 times. Once as a fan, second time I worked security for the show. So, the second show, I didn't have as much fun. BUT, great band....
I love when Tom plays keys with them :D
cheers !! You can play in my house anytime ..
You guys sound as great as ever!
Very good life performance, the sound is good.
Timeless. That's the way it is with excellence.
Playing the Navan fair this summer. Definitely underrated
I want them to play at my house!!!! what a Coo that would be!!!!
I was driving north to Watertown, NY today and heard "I go Blind" on the radio. I have probably not heard that song by 54-40 on the radio since 1986.
Love these songs so chill
When we do a show, it’s $350,000, ❤️ it.
I’ve seen ‘ya twice, Halifax and Fredericton.
Bon Appetite

Music I'm listening to??? Either way I am having a blast with it all
For some reason or another I always imagine a big Cadillac driving down the highway with big horns on the hood and the roof top down.

Under appreciated.... But loved regardless.
The house next door.
