Randy Bachman wrote this song about Burton Cummings after they split up from the Guess Who. Fortunately they have made up over the years and toured together again, they both belong in the RRHOF
@@bloppysloppy4057 Wow, didn't here that one. Randy was the oldest of those three. He must be devastated to have lost two younger brothers 4 month apart.
Randy Bachman was originally with The Guess Who. They also have: Roll On Down The Highway Not Fragile Sledgehammer Rock Is My Life, And This Is My Song
I wish I could find Randy's story behind this song. I believe Gordon wanted to leave Guess Who because they were too straight arrow. This song was kinda a see ? I told ya to Gordon Cummings
..."Class of 76"...Many bands have great songs BUT...grab a BTO album, 8-track, cassette or CD and it rocks through the whole list of songs...One of my top 5 all time favorite bands...Thanks for playing them again!
@@screwyou341 Yeah, four decades ago. I had an Audiovox under-the-dash 8-track player in my '70 Beetle which came with a pair of crappy 4" coaxial speakers with paper woofers.....such high-fidelity...LOL!
Another Canadina group that still awaits your ears: Lighthouse. THey had a few hits like "One Fine Morning," "Pretty Lady" and others. Amber should be especially interested because HORNS were a key part of their music.
"Not Fragile" and "Four Wheel Drive" are a couple BTO rockers I recommend. If you haven't done "Takin' Care of Business" "Roll on Down The Highway" and "Gimme Your Money Please" you should do those next.
Excellent…..BTO’s biggest song - that to this day would get people up out of their chairs dancing around the Globe - is Takin’ Care of Business … You must hit that one someday
Bachman used to play guitar in The Guess Who, he left and started his own band…Bachman, Turner, Overdrive. He stutters in his song “ Ain’t Got Nothing Yet. “ 👏👏👏 🩵🩵
Oh kids, this is no where near the "Hardest" BTO, but really one of their Pop/Rock numbers. Top 5 Heaviest Rockers would be 1) Not Fragile, 2) Sledgehammer, 3) Four Wheel Drive, 4) Second Hand (more cowbell lol, 5) Don't Get Yourself In Trouble. Many more and on some days the bottom couple could be replaced by others so, everyone has their favorites right.
This is Randy Bachman's middle finger to Burton Cummings. They have had a volatile relationship over the years to say the very least. Hate, make up and work together, hate again, make up.... When they perform together, Burton introduces this as" the song Randy wrote when he hated me" Check out Lookin' Out For Number One.
If you like "Hey You" then you'll love "Let It Ride". BTO was actually originally known as Brave Belt which formed after Randy Bachman left The Guess Who. They started out as country rock but evolved to a harder rock style for which BTO would become famous. My favorite Brave Belt song is "Summer Soldier"
I come from an international family on both sides. My mom's paternal grandpa was a Canadian rifleman killed in France when he took a machine gun bullet in the shoulder and died from septic shock three days later during WW1 because they didn't have antibiotics back then. My Irish immigrants on Dad's side landed in Canada in the late 1840s to escape famine thanks to bad weather and worse politics in Europe. Canada's got some excellent musicians. Buffy Sainte-Marie is my favorite Canadian female vocalist with the distinction of being the first musician to record a vocal album in surround sound. You need to put her at the top of your list for Female Friday.
*Funny Randy Bachman* story - Randy called into our Vancouver Rock Radio Station but was put on-hold for over 25 minutes. The 20 year-old receptionist had no idea who *BTO or The Guess Who* were.
Three of there heaviest rockers ( all from the same "Four Wheel Drive" album) check out 1. Four Wheel Drive 2. Flat Broke Love 3. Don't Let the Blue Get You Down
The song starts out sounding like Chicago's "Beginnings", then when the lyrics begin it sounds like BTO's "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet", then it goes on to become its own song.
The drummer is the singer's brother. BTO has two Bachmans and one Turner. I checked, and there's three Bachmans. I thought there was just two. Poor Fred😁
Blown, Giving it all away, Stonegates, Don't let the blues get you down, Gimme your money please, Sledgehammer, Free wheelin', Quick change artist, Blue moanin', can't go wrong with any of these!!!
"Not Fragile" was a great album, too. I still have my ticket stub for their concert in Omaha in 74(?), Styx was the warm-up band. WHAT A SHOW! Styx did 'Lady' and 'Lorelei'.
This is my Favorite BTO song. The Cord progression is HOT 🔥🔥 It was written by Randy Bachman ABOUT his Guess Who mate Burton Cummings BECAUSE They started having disputes on the direction of the Band/Songs/Writing. THANK YOU for doing this one !
There was a public campaign to name a construction project in BTO's native Winnepeg "Bachman-Turner Overpass." 😂 I love "Takin' Care of Business," "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet," and others whose names dont come to mind.
Jay & Amber Both of you already reacted Randy Bachman of BTO. Randy started in another Canadian Band called The Guess Who before he left to formed BTO with his late brothers: Robbie and Tim Bachman with Fred Turner.
Best memory of this song on a beach on long island sound where I lived and dancing in the sand. Freaking amazing, wonderful memory. Flash back from way back. Thank you. Thank you. WOW!Sand on the feet is a memory in itself.
Let it Ride! There is another band, "Nantucket", who put out some great music about this same time. They are hard to pigeon hole, but a little BTO, a bit of 38 Special, a smidgen of REO Speedwagon & sprinkling of Mountain. Their biggest hit was "Heartbreaker"! Followed by "Gimme your Love", "Tennessee Whiskey ", "She's no Good", and "Girl you Blew a Good Thing".
Just been learning about this band, from the professor of music on TH-cam. He gives the stories behind the songs, and this band is great, and rad. Good driving music, yes they used the cow bell a lot through the 70's! A lot! 😂
That wasn't actually an acoustic guitar. It was an electric guitar (probably a Fender) with either a phase shifter or flanger effect on it. That's what gives it that sweeping sound.
This sounds like an inverted version of Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet. I had to go listen to their reaction of that after hearing this. Was fun to play these 2 back to back.
For the heavy side of them listen to Not Fragile, Sledgehammer, Second Hand of Four Wheel Drive. The song Hey You came out in 1975 on the Four Wheel Drive album. I love the fact you dig this fantastic band. The leader is Randy Bachman fron The Guess Who. This album was their fourth one
I doubt many other people will agree, but one of my favorite BTO songs has always been, "Give me your money, Please." It's a fun song that I love popping up every so often.
For Randy Baughman fans listen to "Sweet Lu-luise" from Ironhorse which was Randy's next band. It was a minor hit and riffs on the stuttering of "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet".
BTO, like many bands had their own signature sound but finding something that was out of their usual was hard to find. "Stone Gates" is one of those tunes.
So many good BTO songs. "Let It Ride" and "Takin Care of Business" are classics. "Second Hand" is a real rocker - check out the guitar riff in that one!
Great song! But my favorite BTO is "Roll On Down The Highway".
Great song. Mine is “taking care of business” it was my walk up song coming up to bat. 😁
They have done "Roll On Down The Highway" already.
@@rmacdougallaliasdogviticusAwesome. I may have to look it up.
They LOVED "roll on down ..."
Agreed 👍. Fred Turner with that growly voice, and one hell of a bass player
Randy Bachman wrote this song about Burton Cummings after they split up from the Guess Who. Fortunately they have made up over the years and toured together again, they both belong in the RRHOF
There's a great video of them performing the song together. th-cam.com/video/mciFoeRW86s/w-d-xo.html
Especially when you consider the very marginal acts that are in there, and singers who weren't even Rock and Roll.
"rrhof" is a joke
So true
In my opinion "Let it Ride" is definitely their hardest rock song. Fred Turner soars into the stratosphere at the end of this song!
Or Four wheel drive 🤘
Not Fragile is definitely their heaviest hitter.
Sledgehammer!
4WR its the most hardest hard rock. Far away!!
@@sergiomattos109 absolutely that bass is pounding.
The drummer... we just recently lost. Robin (Robbie) Bachman, died 1/12/23
Tim Bachman (rhythm guitarist on the first two albums) also passed in 2023.
@@bloppysloppy4057 Wow, didn't here that one. Randy was the oldest of those three. He must be devastated to have lost two younger brothers 4 month apart.
I don't think Randy and Tim were close anymore. @@jimmayors2315
Along with Fleetwood Mac and ELO, Bachman Turner Overdrive was one of my favorite bands from the 70s. This song was released in 1975.
Thanks for mentioning ELO. They were my favorite band in high school. 😊 👍
@@oldiesgeek454 Anytime!

I love BTO, such a criminally underrated band. Their career ended much too soon.
underrated is so overused...
I don't care. It applies. BTO are underrated.@@sunnystormy4973

'Sunny Days' & 'Hats Off To The Stranger' 2 more awesome "Lighthouse" tunes.
Thumbs up for Hats Off To the Stranger, such a great song. @@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus
"One Fine Morning" is a masterpiece. "Sunny Day" awesome feel good song.
I keep requesting Lighthouse. Hopefully coming soon
If you want a Canadian band with amazing horns, you gotta listen to the Planet Smashers!!!
BTO was the bomb back in the day! Loved that band!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Not just SOME day - every day!
👍 I see “watcha” did there (every day) and in (every way)🎸🥁🎸🎤✌️@@mwanush
Let it Ride by BTO, you guys will love that one!
“Roll On Down The Highway” is the heaviest rocker

I was 18 in 1975 , when this song came out . Rock-on .
BTO has SO many cool tracks,but "Taking Care of Business," a big rockin dance song, and one of their biggest hits, is a MUST listen.
This is Randy Bachman's middle finger to Burton Cummings. They have had a volatile relationship over the years to say the very least. Hate, make up and work together, hate again, make up....

You HAVE to play Takin' Care of Business! Killer riffs!-
And then Randy Bachman’s “Takin’ Care of Christmas” 🎄

They started out as country rock but evolved to a harder rock style for which BTO would become famous. My favorite Brave Belt song is "Summer Soldier"
Not Fragile,Taking care of business,Rolling down the highway,let it ride,Rock is my life this is my song
Love this band!
This is what BTO , was having 2 years hit with in the 70s . Yes and a couple of others . On radio all day for 2 years
This is one of my three favorites from BTO. The other two are roll on down the highway, and taking care of business
Wow! Thanks for the memories guys.
Another great Canadian Band was "The Band". Some hits were "The Weight", "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”, “Whispering Pines”.

Anoother fabulous Canadian🇨🇦🎤 band of ours. Great reaction folks 👍. Love "Blue Collar"...🎤🇨🇦🎶
This is from 1975. BTO formed in 1973. It was 3 Bachman brothers Randy (formerly of The Guess Who), Robbie and Tim and their friend Fred Turner.
Not Fragile is by far my favorite song, I hope it is your next pick
Takin' Care Of Business is their biggest hit. Let It Ride is another.
You should react to Randy Bachmans Taking Care of Christmas. Randy Bachman is still touring.
My fave.....hold back the water
Love your channel, love what you 2 bring everytime ! My all time favorite BTO song is " Not Fragile" it is pretty hard !😂
*Funny Randy Bachman* story - Randy called into our Vancouver Rock Radio Station but was put on-hold for over 25 minutes. The 20 year-old receptionist had no idea who *BTO or The Guess Who* were.
Randy Bachman can't get all the love, lol. Time for some Burton Cummings. Maybe "Stand Tall"?
True it is Bachman TURNER overdrive.
Three of there heaviest rockers ( all from the same "Four Wheel Drive" album) check out 1. Four Wheel Drive 2. Flat Broke Love 3. Don't Let the Blue Get You Down
You HAVE to try BTO's "Let it Ride" "Takin' Care of Business" and "Roll On Down The Highway".
Blue Collar is a surprise. Very subtle in comparison. Work of art.
The song starts out sounding like Chicago's "Beginnings", then when the lyrics begin it sounds like BTO's "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet", then it goes on to become its own song.
There most rockin' song is "Stayed Awake All Night"
The drummer is the singer's brother. BTO has two Bachmans and one Turner.
I checked, and there's three Bachmans. I thought there was just two. Poor Fred😁
My first concert I ever went to! BTO! I know, I'm may be old to you, but not to me! I'm still rockin! ✌You had to be there, different times!
"She's A Devil " Dont' know how many people have heard this song but what can I say It's a good'in!
" Down Down" is another great BTO song!
Glad you’re listening to their old stuff. ❤
Blown, Giving it all away, Stonegates, Don't let the blues get you down, Gimme your money please, Sledgehammer, Free wheelin', Quick change artist, Blue moanin', can't go wrong with any of these!!!
And blue collar
Agreed!
the title track to this album. 4 Wheel Drive. This song is the smooth BTO. 4 Wheel Drive is the DRIVING, BTO!
"Not Fragile" was a great album, too.
I still have my ticket stub for their concert in Omaha in 74(?), Styx was the warm-up band. WHAT A SHOW! Styx did 'Lady' and 'Lorelei'.
"Let It Ride " ROCKS
Love me some BTO, Takin Care of Business needs to be next, cheers from 🇨🇦
Randy’s distinctive voice is the definition of the 70’s - Sledgehammer should be next
BTO was one of my favorites growing up in the '70's.
"TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS'
"ROLLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY"
My favorite BTO is Sledgehammer. Give it a listen!
Right on. I just suggested that one among others by them.
This is my Favorite BTO song. The Cord progression is HOT 🔥🔥 It was written by Randy Bachman ABOUT his Guess Who mate Burton Cummings BECAUSE They started having disputes on the direction of the Band/Songs/Writing. THANK YOU for doing this one !
Wow! I'm surprised they haven't done "Takin’ Care Of Business " yet. Please react.
There was a public campaign to name a construction project in BTO's native Winnepeg "Bachman-Turner Overpass." 😂 I love "Takin' Care of Business," "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet," and others whose names dont come to mind.
I suggest "Let it Ride" by BTO, also "Stand Tall" by Burton Cummings. Thanks for your reactions!
People always recommend Stand Tall by Burton Cummings but my favorite is I'm Scared.
100%🔥
Probably the first song I played on my brand new bass when I brought it home at 14 years old, my birhday present that year
Class of '76 here too! Please react to "Let It Ride" or "Roll On Down the Highway"! Such classics.
You all need to play "Taking Care of Business" it's one of their best songs
My all time BTO favorite i Hold Back The Water. Great guitar solo! Jay would really appreciate this!
they did several great songs but in my opinion the ultimate is "Rock Is My Life And This Is My Song".
Jay & Amber
Both of you already reacted Randy Bachman of BTO. Randy started in another Canadian Band called The Guess Who before he left to formed BTO with his late brothers: Robbie and Tim Bachman with Fred Turner.

Let It Ride is a great BTO song you will love 🔥
Anyone that loves BTO should check out BTYO live at the Roseland Ballroom. It was about 10 years ago and they still rock the house.
Friday is coming Melanie Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) Netherlands. You will so love this song
YES! Especially the live TV performance from Denmark. Totally hippie vibe!
Just been learning about this band, from the professor of music on TH-cam.
He gives the stories behind the songs, and this band is great, and rad.
Good driving music, yes they used the cow bell a lot through the 70's! A lot! 😂
What a great suggestion…I’ve always loved this song…definitely in my top 5 BTO songs!
From their Not Fragile album from 1974 are also Not Fragile, Rock Is My Life And This Is My Song and Sledgehammer
That wasn't actually an acoustic guitar. It was an electric guitar (probably a Fender) with either a phase shifter or flanger effect on it. That's what gives it that sweeping sound.
Had this on 8-Track way back in the 70’s when I was just a kid.

They have a great instrumental called Free Wheelin'. You would love it! I still have their album Not Fragile! One of my favorite albums!
In 1972, BTO unseated Grand Funk Railroad as the number #1 concert touring band in the USA, a distinction GFR held in 1969, 70, & 71.
The heaviest BTO song is "Sledgehammer". That is a real jam.
For Randy Baughman fans listen to "Sweet Lu-luise" from Ironhorse which was Randy's next band. It was a minor hit and riffs on the stuttering of "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet".
I bought the album, I think they just had the one? 'What's Your Hurry Darlin' and 'Symphony (When the Symphony is Over)' were 2 off of it.
Baughman? Are you stuttering too? LOL
Loved BTO back in the 70s. Loved Pablo Cruise too! Whatcha Gonna Do is a VIBE!!!
This came out in 1975, a few years into their run.
I believe this was Randy Bachman taking a shot at Burton Cummings
BTO, great party music. Play their tunes at your next outdoor barbecue. (Don't forget to bring a cowbell and one drum stick!). 🙂
Definitely gotta hit "Let It Ride". There is no way to listen to it too loud!
We were rockin to BTO in the late 70s. 😎
Jay/Amber, you'll Love their "Taking Care Of Business"!!!! (or did you already, and it was blocked?)
BTO was my first concert nearly 50 years ago in San Antonio. Loved it.
Great song! Used to listen to this on my brothers 8 track player when i was a kid!
🇨🇦Bachman 🇨🇦Turner 🇨🇦Overdrive 🇨🇦
The title track “Not Fragile” from the all-time outstanding album “Not Fragile” is an underrated heavy hitter. Please listen to

I love this band! Brings back memories of college, this was our time! I think Blue Collar is my absolute fave of theirs, more of a laid back song.
I love this Randy Bachman FU to former Guess Who band mate Burton Cummings. Great tune and, he wasn't wrong.
