Absolutely I'm American but raised on Canadian rock. Raised 13 miles from Saskatchewan border. Best rock is from Canada. Sad for majority of Americans who have never heard such great bands. In my opinion best rock in world. American but love Canada.
Well thanks for the recognition of the Canucks. If you've ever heard of a band called Styx.....LOL. They made their name known in Canada and became superstars here before anyone in the states really caught on.
@@cloakedgt Wow that's cool that you mention The Guess Who. Randy and Burton were on CBC radio today talking about the early years. They busted their ass back in the 60's in Saskatchewan and Manitoba singing and playing for groups as small as 50 people. Amazing band
Raised 12 miles from Victoria on San Juan island WA and I grew up listening to Vancouver radio and I loved prism now I'm 59 living 2 miles from the BC border still listening to prism,sweet, and all the great old bands
I do believe that someday, in the future, someone will invent the solar-powered laser beam guitar, but that won’t happen until Mars is finally colonised.
RIP, Ron Tabak, who died on Christmas Day 1984. Saw them many times in the late 70's and early 80's in Grande Prairie, AB. Their music is still powerful today ..
*@Tim Hoover* ``````````````````````` What do you mean ? You're not getting stoned anymore (?) That's f...... sad dude. Get your shit together and get stoned. Just this one more time for the sake of 60's & 70's. Will Yaaa ?????
still one of my favorite songs by prism for me to listen to and the lead singer had one of the best voices and singing abilitys going in those days , ron tabak was as good or better than any other lead singer in any other band around , that guy had a great voice in my opinion , also i met him one time , when i was 16yrs old on a b.c ferry going to the island and he was one of the nicest polite guys that u could ever briefly meet and talk to .
Ok, is it just me, or do underrated Canadian bands have singers with galactically better voices than big US or English bands? I've been getting goosebumps from listening to Michael Sadler of Saga since 1980, just learned about Prism & Sheriff. These guys can SING. And Prism has amazing videos! Thanks for posting this!
@@conradkostelecky7935 Thanks! I love checking out new bands, tho I'm gonna have to write those down b/c I'm oretty sure I won't be able to remember 'em! ...well, Headpins are ok, but even tho Chiliwack has a great sound to it --the name, I mean, I'm not sure that one'd stick. ;-)
Already listened to Chiliwack's "My Girl." I LOVE the repeated sound of the "she's been gone gone gone she been gone so long" intro & verse...starting like that I had to like the rest of the song! Oh yeah, I'd forgotten somebody recommended Prism to me last year some time --they're great. On to Headpins. Addition: Headpins was also very intriguing; I've got 3 new bands saved to my "listen to more of this!!" list. Thank you so much! Wish I could return the favor, but maybe sometime! Oh wait; Have you heard Ren? I just heard him the first time the other day, with "Hi Ren." Stylistically, not like the other bands we mentioned, but he's a heck of a talent & truly unique (but not Canadian).
I remember when they came to Terrace BC in the 70's...Ron was still alive and they f#$%$$#@ were legends man. A BC band that just nailed it....So beautiful a voice, so beautiful a band This song is still on my favorite playlist
I actually drove up to Terrace from Smithers in my black 5.0 during the '90s. They were playing at the Terrace but we were too late. We were rocking' and we were speeding but we were late. A cop pulled up on my ass and I didn't know it was a cop, I spun my wheels all over her, sprayed rubber on her hood. The good old days, she just told us to get out of town lol
very well done, makes me long for the old days listening to this song while on an acid trip, back in calgary alberta in the 70's...I wanna go back! Still have the old cassette!
I had a Pioneer Super tuner for cassette...it was an awesome player..never had any problems with the tape getting eaten up and the ability to lock in on distant stations was amazing... unfortunately someone in broad daylight broke into my '76 Feather Duster and stole it...I could never find a tape deck that good on that price range ever again ☹️☹️☹️☹️
I know it may sound stupid, but I picked this song for my dads funeral when I was 13. This is one of the last songs he excitedly showed me before he passed.
It is difficult listening to Prism. I love this music as it brings back so many found memories but it is bitter-sweet as the lead singer died way too early. Happy to hear that this music can live-on on you-tube!
try Saga ...another very underrated Canadian band of the 70s/80s (especially their first album, "Saga" th-cam.com/video/cqKY-B_LpAc/w-d-xo.html this is the best song on it, IMO: th-cam.com/video/kTaYXviXLnA/w-d-xo.html). And good on ya; like what ya like!
This gives great memories at the beach with the ripped and suped up 1980's mini van with the glitter globe over the dash. You know how it was, with the party group, house speakers sticking out of the back, listening to this song dancing around the bon-fire. Girls with mini tops, and tanned legs. Plus of course, the mega coolers of beers waiting next to a tree. What a great song for those early memories of high school.
TH-cam awesome to get every single song that came out and to listen to it when you want and the awesome songs like this one brings back so many memories tyvm what a song
when i was a kid, prism was awesome. as it turns out they were a small fish in an ocean. but their songs will always have a special place in my heart. they played in my hometown with the pumps and FM. iwas such a kid. it goes to show (IMO) that great songs are great songs. becausee of utube generations will enjoy what i got too
Probably the most fun I ever had at a concert was Prism in Kelowna BC at the community theater, it became a massive party instead of a concert. They were amazing.
I first heard this in Nov of 77. I had just gotten my very first tape recorder, thanks to my Mom. I was supposed to be using it to listen to audiobooks. But I was 12yo, and not about to obey. : ) I had a horrible recording setup. But what did I know. I was recording off a transistor radio onto a mono cassette recorder. I was in POWER MODE. To record with cassettes was so so very new to me. So there was Prism, there was Steve Miller, there was Fleetwood Mac, so much more, so much magic. Thank you Mom. For $35, I could dream like never before.
lol im 22 and i remember hearing this on the radio when i was younger. damn i love this song. way better then 99% of the crappy music thats coming out now a days.
I met these guys in Ottawa recently . great band , one of my favorites bands from when I was a teenager and they still kick ass....got to meet the band and chatted with Al quite a bit ..great guys ....hope to see them again ...my name is Rick by the way ...
Nearly a half million views. Buy the CD - make Rocket and the boys some money....they deserve it. Poor Ron Tabak - taken so soon, so tragically. One of my favourite songs.
Bravo - Rocket Norton, their drummer and I, spent a lot of fun times together. Enjoy the music for years to come. I also hope you liked Vancouver, if it was your first visit.
Great WetCoast band...one of the best all-time Canadian bands!! Got the opportunity to know a few of the band....played in one myself and definitely miss those times, and the feeling that era had....will miss Ron.....Lindsay looked good at Sybil's 60th at the Yale!!
This was a very special someone to me's favorite song of all time. It's amazing, but not quite as amazing as she was. She disappeared out of my life three years ago and I still miss the hell out of her to this day. If you're reading this you know who you are and know I still, and will always have a special place in my heart for you.
Haha..This was my uncle's favourite song. My dad always tells me about how when he first got his license they would play this on the radio and he would start singing as loud as he could and my uncle would just scream it and they're parties oh god... R.I.P
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
i was in grade 6 when this song hit the charts...it rocked then.. and it rocks now! ;) R.I.P Ron Tabak.. your voice will echo through concert halls of eternity.
Man, I used to love this song & I've seen them live a couple of times back in the day. It however has left me in complete shambles since 99 because I had a horrible disease that my survival only hinged upon my young age. I had to have an operation that was so painful when awakening that they gave me an epidural prior to the anesthetic. During the epidural, I was sitting on a gurney facing tons of knives, saws, & scary operational tools.....guess what song was playing??
@@derekkess5764 I’m a musician and I am into some pretty hard rock , but it’s cool to listen to the old stuff once and again. I am the lead singer and rhythm guita player in an original band We writer stuff like metallic, evanescence, we are going into the studio soon to record our next demo. Nice to meet you, have a great day
From Wiki...On March 6, 2011, Prism's "Spaceship Superstar" was chosen as the wake up song for the Space Shuttle Discovery crew members. This was a significant point in history as it was the last day that the crews of Discovery and the International Space Station were together before Discovery returned to Earth, in the last mission of Discovery. ................ Loved this song since I was a kid. And it still plays out like a movie in my head all these decades later. Seeing this video of just photos feels like its filling in the blanks. I know if i even had the skills and know how to cut a video. Itd take me years to even find what's been in my head for 40+ years now. And I doubt I'd ever be happy with the end product.
Justt watched them in Morden Manitoba and I thoroughly enjoyed the show, last time I saw them was 28 years ago in the Loft Cabaret in Courtenay BC and had a chance to meet the band members tonight and the lead remembered that performance. Had a blast at that one too, classic rock at its best
The first time I heard this song was in PEI. I remember... I was on the Scrambler ride at Sandspit, and this started to play over the speakers. I'll never forget :)
Un vecino me regalo hoy un disco de vinilo de prism como no tengo el toca discos vine a buscar sus rolas en yt esta hermoso gracias vecino!!!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Saw prism, harlequin, Toronto, glass tiger.carol pope with rough trade, helix and glass tiger at rock the district in Edmonton Alberta Canada. The rain did not matter that much. Had a great time!
Saw these guys with Lake and Robin Trower at the KSHE-95 (St. Louis, MO) 10th anniversary concert at the old Checkerdome. What a great night and what great memories! Rock on!
Def, 70s were sex, drugs but lots of spacey rock . I just came across a current book, Strange Stars by Jason Heller, a non-fiction discussion about all the “sci-fi’ related rock music of 70s and how the genres of sci-fi (mostly Space) and rock combined in ways behind scenes that i never knew, sounds very cool ... i listened to an 2 hr interview with the author, Jason Heller, also a former DJ and his knowledge in this book is very impressive ... I cant wait to read, i think anyone who listened to 70s rock will love. One reviewer said, if you get the book, read with a set of earbuds& Spotify open on your phone ... Enjoy the trip ox
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
i neverd heard this song,and i got to tell you !it took me out of my reality to a great journey that i only experienced in my childhood,fantastic song.
I am listening for the first time and typing this. Earthlings, we are here. All places all things, we make the birds sings, the sky blue, the thought that is you. Well the intro. Anyway. Regardless..I have never heard this thing.. seems impossible. But there ya go. Timing I guess. Spaceship superstar....is what we all are
Absolutely I'm American but raised on Canadian rock. Raised 13 miles from Saskatchewan border. Best rock is from Canada. Sad for majority of Americans who have never heard such great bands. In my opinion best rock in world. American but love Canada.
We love you right back, neighbor
Also Gordon lightfoot, chilliwack, and burton cummings formerly, The guess who
I grew up in wa state and listened to this back in the 70s,there were people all over the country listening to this,
Well thanks for the recognition of the Canucks. If you've ever heard of a band called Styx.....LOL. They made their name known in Canada and became superstars here before anyone in the states really caught on.
@@cloakedgt Wow that's cool that you mention The Guess Who.
Randy and Burton were on CBC radio today talking about the early years. They busted their ass back in the 60's in Saskatchewan and Manitoba singing and playing for groups as small as 50 people. Amazing band

40 years later and the Solar-Powered Laser Beam Guitar is Untouchable....
Before being able to look up lyrics I used to think it was 'Solar power in the jar'
I do believe that someday, in the future, someone will invent the solar-powered laser beam guitar, but that won’t happen until Mars is finally colonised.
This great Canadian tune was used by NASA, on the last flight of the space shuttle. Prism has a rich catalog of great music.
Jason Write Rocked my Sox off in the late seventies- still do! meaning their songs never get old. ..keep relistening over and over..😉👍
Tangerine Lyme yeah, their last album was 2008's Big Black Sky which was supposed to have been pretty good
Pity NASA is one big con
Last flight of Discovery, actually.
Canadian music used by an American organization?
After 40 years this song still NEVER gets old!!
Can never have enough cowbell
Timeless classic
Along with “This flight tonight” both if my favourite speeding ticket songs 😜🎇
Don’t forget “Armageddon “ That almost cost me my car 🚗 Uhhh officer would you believe I was flying a bombing mission to destroy a couple of tanks?🤪
Sad how Ron Tabak was killed. The killer got away with leaving him to die on the road@@josephhenry7674
If you missed the '70's you only have to listen to this song to know what it was like.
To be young!@Insidious Sid
I can imagine a lot of coke being snorted to this song...
You can take that to the Bank!!!!!!!!👀😏😎👌👍🤘🍻🇨🇦🌟
This brings back so many memories 1977
Excellent band. Lots of great memories. RIP Ron.
RIP, Ron Tabak, who died on Christmas Day 1984. Saw them many times in the late 70's and early 80's in Grande Prairie, AB. Their music is still powerful today ..
I saw them in Grande Prairie around 1984 and in Ft. St. John around 1980. Good shows.
He's only dead for tax reasons.
Hearing Prism reminds me of my high school days and how hard it was to concentrate on homework when great music like this was playing on the radio.
auldsk8r class of 80! I had this album!
Fucken eh bubba😅
Dude everyone who used to listen to this must be as stoned as I am right now. Solar powered laser beam guitar? Right friggin' on.
I was stoned then, but not now.

I still have 3 albums by them..
Charles Swartz me too! love these guys!
R.I.P. Ron. Seen you years ago at a concert in the late 70's. You were ahead of your time.
Harry Oh Schmidt He sure was...
A timeless tune by Prism. I LOVE their other tunes as well. Saw them in Fredericton, NB, Canada around 1978 or so at the Aitken Centre.
very well done, makes me long for the old days listening to this song while on an acid trip, back in calgary alberta in the 70's...I wanna go back!
Still have the old cassette!

D Snider Rip Ron. .you were a rock god... loved all your music. ..
They just don't make music this awesome anymore. =D
I just came to the comments because while watching the video I said to myself, “I betcha someone is gonna write.... ^^
Hmmm....you posted just a couple of years or so early! Try Cats In Space! Even have a song of the same name...
It is difficult listening to Prism. I love this music as it brings back so many found memories but it is bitter-sweet as the lead singer died way too early. Happy to hear that this music can live-on on you-tube!
im 13 and i love this song and older artists
Great. Try: Armageddon.
Same here. Everyone now a days likes rap. No music like this anymore.

I remember being so happy to find Prism's greatest hits on DVD. I thought their songs were lost forever.
This gives great memories at the beach with the ripped and suped up 1980's mini van with the glitter globe over the dash. You know how it was, with the party group, house speakers sticking out of the back, listening to this song dancing around the bon-fire. Girls with mini tops, and tanned legs. Plus of course, the mega coolers of beers waiting next to a tree. What a great song for those early memories of high school.
Christ! I haven't heard this song since the mid 80s... This tune still Rules!
TH-cam awesome to get every single song that came out and to listen to it when you want and the awesome songs like this one brings back so many memories tyvm what a song
Just heard this on the radio for the first time ever. I was blown away!!!
Canadian Rock & Roll of the late 70's and early-mid 80's.We truly led the way during this time frame.Great tune. thanks for the post.
when i was a kid, prism was awesome. as it turns out they were a small fish in an ocean. but their songs will always have a special place in my heart. they played in my hometown with the pumps and FM. iwas such a kid. it goes to show (IMO) that great songs are great songs. becausee of utube generations will enjoy what i got too
Now here's a tune that I COMPLETELY forgot about.
Thanks for the memories.
There is no way this didnt see play in the states. This song is freaking iconic.
Keyboard solo.....awesome! !!
Right on bro!
My dad was that person (John Hall)
Probably the most fun I ever had at a concert was Prism in Kelowna BC at the community theater, it became a massive party instead of a concert. They were amazing.
My first concert was Prism almost 30 years ago at the Communiplex in Prince Albert, SK. My ears rang for 2 days, it was awesome! They Rocked!
Great album. Rock on. As good as when I first heard it in the 70s.

man...this brings back memories from long ago! great song....
AWESOME CANADIAN BAND.....
Saw prism, harlequin, Toronto, glass tiger.carol pope with rough trade, helix and glass tiger at rock the district in Edmonton Alberta Canada. The rain did not matter that much. Had a great time!
Great tunes, I love it from back then when I was a boy eavesdropping on my older brothers right up til now!
That synthesizer solo is way ahead of its time
Just watched them last night in Esterhazy Saskatchewan
Canada and Great Britain made the best rock bands ever!
Saw these guys with Lake and Robin Trower at the KSHE-95 (St. Louis, MO) 10th anniversary concert at the old Checkerdome. What a great night and what great memories! Rock on!
Def, 70s were sex, drugs but lots of spacey rock . I just came across a current book, Strange Stars by Jason Heller, a non-fiction discussion about all the “sci-fi’ related rock music of 70s and how the genres of sci-fi (mostly Space) and rock combined in ways behind scenes that i never knew, sounds very cool ... i listened to an 2 hr interview with the author, Jason Heller, also a former DJ and his knowledge in this book is very impressive ... I cant wait to read, i think anyone who listened to 70s rock will love. One reviewer said, if you get the book, read with a set of earbuds& Spotify open on your phone ... Enjoy the trip ox
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
i neverd heard this song,and i got to tell you !it took me out of my reality to a great journey that i only experienced in my childhood,fantastic song.
Best rock group ever
Enorme canción! Más de 40 años y suena nueva!

Saw these guys in concert in 2010...they haven't lost a step.
These songs bring back a lot of good memories.
The music of my teens. Loved this song. I believe they took the song concept from Deep Purple Space Truckin.
During the 70' 80' they were great canadians rock band.... What an amazing era's! So different styles musically.

it's addictive listening to these song, Unfortunately, artist today have no inspiration and no talent for music🎧 Is this your favorite song?
I wish that all the great 70's & 80's Canadian groups were still putting out albums.
I am listening for the first time and typing this. Earthlings, we are here. All places all things, we make the birds sings, the sky blue, the thought that is you.
Well the intro. Anyway. Regardless..I have never heard this thing.. seems impossible. But there ya go.
Timing I guess.
Spaceship superstar....is what we all are
I've given up waiting for this song to get old! :)
See Forever Eyes was a great album.
This band was so underrated but they had so many hits.
