I'm 57, been to over 450 concerts, growing up in Washington state, we would either see shows in Seattle or up in Vancouver British Columbia. This band, is one if the bands that is better live than on record, killer live act, underrated band in my opinion, always worth the money to see them on stage

Heard the sad news today of the passing of Myles Goodwyn, December 3, 2023. So, thought I'd take a trip down memory lane and reminisce with a band that played the backdrop of my youth. April Wine was one of the hardest working bands especially of the 70's and 80's, blasting hit after hit after hit, and they just kept coming. IMHO they didn't get the recognition they deserved. April Wine was one of the best live acts to see and Myles was one of those multi-talented singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer people that stood out like no other. This band is so awesome it kills me. I am so thankful for their countless hits. So proud to be Canadian! RIP Myles Goodwin!

I just picked up a beautiful brand new pressing of nature of the beast. I think I’ve added about a year now it’s Ruby red see-through, and it sounds wonderful on my 78 Kenwood.
I didn't hear that he had passed. A couple bands I was a part of played April Wine songs. Mainly "I like to rock" and "roller". Underrated band, great live.
Simply one of the best Rock Bands of the 70's n 80's. I've attended dozens of their concerts. Jerry Mercer is retired, Steve Lang has passed away and Myles Goodwyn is about to stop touring. 16 studio albums with multiple live n Greatest Hits compilations. 1969-2023 (so far) Just great rock.
I'm 60, seen so many concerts in my life, April Wine still ranks as one of the best I've ever seen, so amazing! R.I.P. Myles you kicked ass until the end .....
I live in the UK and I have loved April Wine for many years; they were a massive part of my teenage years back in the early/mid 80s. This is the first time that I have learned of Myles's death ! It seems that so many of my favourites have passed now.
Discovered April Wine last year, I'm 44 and never knew they existed. Part of me is gutted that I did not grow up with them, and the other half is banging as I've found a total gem. They are so good live they embarrass other rock bands.
Well to be fair I imagine you are not in Canada right? This concert was in the UK but the band didn't get any airplay there and in the USA they did better but still underrated. Glad I grew up in Canada listening to this band. First April Wine song I ever heard was Rock and Roll is a Vicious Game
Can't believe they had the sheer GUTS to cover a King Crimson song before a British audience - and they pulled it off in spades!! (The song is "21st Century Schizoid Man")
You know you are giving the crowd their monies worth when you can perform one of their favorite hits and make it more epic than the studio version. Enjoy the vids, cause this era is never returning.

Myles is having a great Rock'n time in heaven.. Myles grew up in the church in Halifax and kept the band on the straight & narrow not like so many bands that fall apart. But there's only one way to see Myles is to get to heaven as John 14:6 says: "For I am (Jesus) the way, the truth and the life and NO one comes to the FATHER except through ME. "Whoever confesses with his (or her) mouth, that Jesus is Lord, shall be saved." Romans 10:9 When I get there, let's JAM!!
This tour was my first concert ever - Calagry, Alberta. These guys were so amazing to see live, and really this was at their prime. Jerry Mercer an absolute beast on the drum kit!
Still bring out my Nature of the Beast album and crank it up when I have the house to myself.. April Wine was amazing and deserved much more credit than they received on American radio. R.I.P. Myles and rock on....\m/
It's almost like we saw two different people.. that heavy duty Rock God on stage and a gentle loving soul that that we were lucky to have back in our home province of Nova Scotia a giant like him living back amongst us till the end
We'e going to see them Friday night at the CNE in Toronto. Band shell - free show!!! Used to see them on New Years Eve with RUSH and Max Webster at the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. in the late 70's
North Carolina here and my friends and I listened to April Wine all the time in the early 80s. Played the Nature of the Beast Cassette Tape back when cruising was still legal... South Stratford Road Winston-Salem. Best Times Ever!
13 year old me stumbled upon the Nature of the Beast album because the album cover was a contradiction to the hit ballad they had. Thank god for that curiosity. It's still my favorite album ever. April Wine rocks! Pure and simple.
I’m 60 , and we just listened to this whole fricken concert and that was so awesome , April Wine lives on forever , Love You guys forever !!!!!!!! Now I need to find a woman that loves 80’s rock to and we can live the next 40 years, Rockin out !!!!!
Sign of the Gypsy Queen was written 100% by Lorence Hud and performed 100% acoustic on his debut solo album. Look it up. Myles and Lorence were friends. They co-wrote "Victim for Your Love" on "Stand Back". One of my favorites from April Wine.
@@Darin.Pearson Yes I live in the city where Lorence grew up, he went to our university here, and he wrote sign of gypsy queen for his music class. As far as I remember, his music prof really didn't think it was that good. Hopefully hes not a prof anymore, he was sure wrong. R I P myles , up there with Eddie and the gang, rocking away 🙏
@gm-lb9oe That's awesome. My dad had his first solo album so I heard "Sign of the Gypsy Queen" long before April Wine recorded it. "Master of Pantomime" is also a great song. I didn't realize Lorence also co-wrote Victim for your Love until Myles credited him to the audience on a live performance. Another great Lorence composition. Thanks for sharing your story. I still have Lorence's first album in excellent condition. I had it professionally recorded onto a CD.
@@Darin.Pearson hey, oh wow. I sure wish I had a copy of that. Last I heard about lorence, he moved out to Ontario, Canada, and was fighting our government or the Ontario provincial government about a creek that was running through his property. He put up barricades, the whole nine yards. I'm sure if you Google him, the story will come up. Can't believe you have the record, wow, keep in great condition. He sure had a gift of writing music thats for sure 👍
I had the privilege of opening for AW with my band twice back in the late 1990's. Winnipeg. Canadian Rock when it was REALLY ROCK N ROLL!!! BTO APRIL WINE TROOPER PRISM Those Bands got the Shit end of the stick when it came to fame and fortune! They were incredible excellent song writers and as cool as any group the USA ever had and then some!! "Future Tense" ROCKS! So do so many of their great songs!
guitars and a drum set...........rock and rolls backbone ......played in.whistler bc in the 90's ,buffalo bills club......never forget it ....totally rad. 🤗
These were just a group of fun loving wide-eyed Canadian kids who happened to be talented musicians who loved making great music for fans all over the world and they never forgot their roots or let success go to their heads. Myles and the gang made fond memories and positive impacts on the lives of millions of young people in the 70s and 80s and fortunately their music will live on for future generations to enjoy. Thanks for the music and the memories!
My all time favourite band for 50 years. Each member brings his unique and amazing talent to the group but what can I say about Jerry on the drums. Absolute beast and one of the best in my opinion 😊❤ RIP my idol Myles Goodwyn, I just can’t believe you’re gone 💔
It's surprising for me. One play my guitar , Gibson les Paul model iced tea. I have one in ibach, switzerland, headquater of victorinox original swiss army knives. I'm so proud, that i live in one of the nicest landscape of the world, just in sight of my love mountains, my two Mythen, my queen of mountain, the rigi, and for last the stoos, and the fronalpstock. I think, a visit will enjoy you, because Schwyz is one of the foundercanton of switzerland 1291, on the rütli. Please visit one of the most terrific place, because i live there since 1967. Bye all people of the world.
One of my faves in HS...simple 3 chord songs with 3 guitars give ample room for some cool dynamics...great rock voices, great band...RIP Myles and Steve.
Man this is so good!! 61 and still listen to these guys. Jerry is a Beast of the Drums!! Last time I saw them was in a Bar. I felt bad but I was in the Front Rockin’!! Myles handed me a Pick and I got to meet all of them. It was incredible!! I don’t remember the year. But Jim was back in the Band.
I got to see April Wine on the POWER PLAY tour in 1982 or 1983 in Kansas City. Eddie Money opened. I thought they were an underrated band that should have been as big in the States as other AOR giants like Styx, Foreigner, Journey, and REO Speedwagon (to name a few). Their albums were consistently good with very little 'filler.' Glad I got to see April Wine in their prime! 👍
WOW, what a force of talent! I was a bit young when they came out but listening to them even today I can't help but cranking the stereo to 11. We all lost one of the greats.. 😔
Rest easy Myles. You left an incredible legacy throughout your musical career. Thank you for being a part of my life growing up and being an inspiration.
RIP Myles Goodwin
I'm 57, been to over 450 concerts, growing up in Washington state, we would either see shows in Seattle or up in Vancouver British Columbia. This band, is one if the bands that is better live than on record, killer live act, underrated band in my opinion, always worth the money to see them on stage
Every band is better live than in person.
Just turned 58 RØÇK-tober 25th 😎 🎶 from Alberta, Canada LOTs of Hard n Heavy ROCK in Calgary & Vancouver
@@MrJohnnyDistortionnot necessarily…. “Milli Vanilli “
@@MrJohnnyDistortion Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, not really known as great live performances.
Fantastic Music, just not much of a LIVE act.
In 1981/1982 I saw April Wine at Detroit's Cobo Arena, they were fantastic.
April Wine performed a song live that used a Steel Triangle, I don't know the name of the song, however it blew everyone away at the concert. Does anyone knows what song I'm trying to think of?
@@hkguitar1984
What are some of the lyrics to that triangle song?
April Wine and Triumph were two of my favorites in high school (1980-1983). Still enjoy watching and listening at age 54!
I'm also 54 class of 85 I love April wine too
@@brianlegault5114, Class of 82', love em' til this day. Saw them my senior year in high school late 1981 and they rocked! Along with Triumph and Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush, a trio of great, great Canadian bands that never fully got their proper due, IMO.
I remember how big those bands were in 1980-1983.Triumph seemed to have a little more staying power,though.
Wore those cassettes out
Triumph was awesome saw them albuquerque nm 1983, lost my tshirt along the way 80s rock, pure, simple, heavy, hard & just freaking fun jamming 🎶 music
😭🙏❤️rest easy bro

Heard the sad news today of the passing of Myles Goodwyn, December 3, 2023. So, thought I'd take a trip down memory lane and reminisce with a band that played the backdrop of my youth. April Wine was one of the hardest working bands especially of the 70's and 80's, blasting hit after hit after hit, and they just kept coming. IMHO they didn't get the recognition they deserved. April Wine was one of the best live acts to see and Myles was one of those multi-talented singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer people that stood out like no other. This band is so awesome it kills me. I am so thankful for their countless hits. So proud to be Canadian! RIP Myles Goodwin!
Great comment sir.
100% agree!!!
@hermosodude3814 Thank you brother!
If the follow up album to nature was stronger I think it would have blown them up ...nonetheless april wine was a top notch outfit
How they didn't get huge is beyond me? This band is so underrated!
Like UFO. Just doesn't make sense !!!
And Trooper

Canadian .. thats why lol
And I'm 72 and still enjoy the great music of my youth. Nature of the Beast is one of my all time faves!
I just picked up a beautiful brand new pressing of nature of the beast. I think I’ve added about a year now it’s Ruby red see-through, and it sounds wonderful on my 78 Kenwood.
RIP Myles Goodwyn. This was huge when it was shown on MTV. Thanks for all the great music.
I had know idea he passed. So sad!!!
I didn't hear that he had passed. A couple bands I was a part of played April Wine songs. Mainly "I like to rock" and "roller". Underrated band, great live.
Canada, for being such a small population, really produced some incredible musicians and bands in the 70’s and 80’s.
R.i.p myles goodwyn april wine what a band up there with the best of the best god bless you❤
RIP Myles Goodwyn. Rocker to the end.
Very good set list . What I would do to go back to 1981-89.
Canada's best musical export.🤘🤘
Simply one of the best Rock Bands of the 70's n 80's. I've attended dozens of their concerts. Jerry Mercer is retired, Steve Lang has passed away and Myles Goodwyn is about to stop touring. 16 studio albums with multiple live n Greatest Hits compilations. 1969-2023 (so far) Just great rock.

I saw them live back in 2002 and 2003 and they put killer shows.
April Wine rocks.
I live in the UK and I have loved April Wine for many years; they were a massive part of my teenage years back in the early/mid 80s. This is the first time that I have learned of Myles's death ! It seems that so many of my favourites have passed now.
That is very sad when they pass away but the good memories and the good music will live on forever.🤘🤘
Yes certainly sad but as you say the good memories and music will definitely continue to delight us.
I agree.
Three guitars, one of the tightest band we've ever seen ! Unpretencious, underrated, professionals to the bone, pure and true rock musicianship !
FRANCOIS APRIL WINE IS OFF THE HOOK WOOOOW
Aladdin Hotel Vegas 1982 great show!!!
& Uriah Heap was good too...
You nailed that right on the head bro.... Thanks
@@jeffhadland140 Love Uriah Heep, one of my favourite bands growing up!!!

First time watching this at 1AM, 30 years old and regret not being born back then. Thanks for making my night golden April Wine, I appreciate you.
I rocked first glance when it came out, was an incredible time
Rush, Triumph, April Wine! Canada really put out some bangers!
Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush!also
April Wine my favorite out of Canada and it's not even close for me . Rip to the legend Myles G .👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼

They captured me and ROCKED me at age 20. I'm now 63 and still loving the music. Awesome video affects as well....R.I.P. Myles, thanks for the music..
Nature of the Beast is probably one of the most underrated rock albums of all time. April Wine at their peak here!
Wow take me Back, 1 yr out high school. Back when Bands played music 🎶🎶 🔥🌟💥✨💪🐻
The best band that didn’t receive super star status.Love the music.
Man, I loved this band back in the 80s. I'm 56 and April Wine is still one of my all-time fav bands! So underrated!
RIGHT ON 👍🕺🎸🎵
April Wine was great. They should have been bigger than they were. Great songwriting, great playing, and great vocals.
Gutted to hear the news that Myles Goodwyn has died - condolences to his fans and friends, he was a legend in Canadian music 🎶😞🎶 #RIP
Jerry the best rock drummer to ever exist, im so lucky i got to see this line up❤😂
So tight. 3 lead guitars playing in unison. Great harmonies. Amazing songwriting. This band had it all. Memories...

Fishman, I think that I was at that same concert! Did they play at the Dallas Convention Center with The Outlaws as the opening act?

Unbelievable.
Not many STUDIO recordings sound this good.
True proffesionals.
They are one talented group of crazy Kanuck brother-fackazzz. I love April Wine!!!!! Even if they are from Montreal...
Try Nova Scotia they relocated to Montreal
This sounds like a "studio" album 😉
@@artwerkonline Waverley, Nova Scotia actually. :-)
They don't make music like this anymore. Mind blowing.
What an enormous Talent. Last November superb. Absolute maestros.
This tour was my first concert ever - Calagry, Alberta. These guys were so amazing to see live, and really this was at their prime. Jerry Mercer an absolute beast on the drum kit!
Some of the most talented musicians ever.
Rush, The Guess Who, April Wine, Triumph, BTO, Heart etc. etc. What happened to Canadian music?
Still bring out my Nature of the Beast album and crank it up when I have the house to myself..
April Wine was amazing and deserved much more credit than they received on American radio.
R.I.P. Myles and rock on....\m/
I'm doing this right now! 😊
First time I heard April Wine was on a road trip to Canada and back with my parents. Forever for now, on 8-track.
Absofuckinglutely one of the GOAT Rock n Roll bands. Every members talent brought lots to the table!!🤘😎🤘
This is fantastic. Brings back a lot of memories.
It's almost like we saw two different people.. that heavy duty Rock God on stage and a gentle loving soul that that we were lucky to have back in our home province of Nova Scotia a giant like him living back amongst us till the end
RIP Myles.wish they would have played in the states .never got to see them 😢
Without question the most underrated band ever.
I saw April Wine on January 11, 1980 with Foreigner and Rick Derringer. Killer Show!!
It would be.
poca madre bro¡¡¡
We'e going to see them Friday night at the CNE in Toronto. Band shell - free show!!! Used to see them on New Years Eve with RUSH and Max Webster at the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. in the late 70's

@ Jim When I seen them the opening act was Molly Hatchet. I still got the ticket stub the exact date was Feb. 27, 1981. ROCK ON!
1/15/25 and still JBYM is one of the greatest ballads of the 80s.
North Carolina here and my friends and I listened to April Wine all the time in the early 80s. Played the Nature of the Beast Cassette Tape back when cruising was still legal... South Stratford Road Winston-Salem. Best Times Ever!

One of my favorite Canadian Rock and Roll bands. 😀 RIP Myles Goodwyn.
the most underated rock band ever!!...
umm, no way. underrated...means you never had a song or played an arena. a band a cult following worship is underrated.
I’ve seen AW 20+ times. This is one of my favourite versions with the 3 guitar attack. RIP MG.
Man this is so good!! 61 and still listen to these guys. Jerry is a Beast of the Drums!! Last time I saw them was in a Bar. I felt bad but I was in the Front Rockin’!! Myles handed me a Pick and I got to meet all of them. It was incredible!! I don’t remember the year. But Jim was back in the Band.
I am glad i got t c them🙏
April Wine AND Diamond Head?!?! What a great bill!
I got to see April Wine on the POWER PLAY tour in 1982 or 1983 in Kansas City. Eddie Money opened. I thought they were an underrated band that should have been as big in the States as other AOR giants like Styx, Foreigner, Journey, and REO Speedwagon (to name a few). Their albums were consistently good with very little 'filler.' Glad I got to see April Wine in their prime! 👍
Missouri is a April Wine state ... St Louis loves April Wine.... Glad KC does too ..... Rip to the awesome Myles ✌🏼🤘🏼👍🏼
They should have been huge perfect band for the 80 s love this album
WOW, what a force of talent! I was a bit young when they came out but listening to them even today I can't help but cranking the stereo to 11. We all lost one of the greats.. 😔
Rest easy Myles. You left an incredible legacy throughout your musical career. Thank you for being a part of my life growing up and being an inspiration.
April Wine defined my childhood. I listened to CHEZ 106 in Ottawa religiously. This performance is legendary.
CHUM reached my borer town. Q107. CFNY. CIUT.

Watching this made me remember another band with 3 guitar players ,,, 38 special , and they rocked
.38 Special released thier seminal album"Wild Eyed Southern Boys"in 1981 as well.Rock n Roll came back hard that year.
Triple attack! Myles, Brian and Gary on guitars!
