    In memory of original drummer Rob Bachman who passed away a few days ago. He kept perfect rhythm and helped his favorite band rack up some serious hits: “Let It Ride”, “Roll On Down The Highway”, “Takin’ Care Of Business”, and “Hey You”. Bachman-Turner Overdrive was a happening band of rock.

      "underrated" is probably the most overrated word here at YT, abloody kliché and rarely - if ever - is it true either. Randy Bachman is a respected name in this business, he's friends with more of them than you probably know, and he sure is older than most guitarists. Jeff Beck was born in 1944, whereas his friend and one time neighbour (in the early 60s) Eric Clapton was born the magic year 1945 (Neil Young, Bob Marley, John Fogerty and then some...). Randy was 80 last fall, and had surgery in 2006 that made him go from 380 pounds/171kg to 225lb/101 kg.

    Actually, this concert was at the Saskatchewan Maximum Security Prison in Prince Albert Sask. Nobody there didn't hurt somebody bad. Some in that audience are probably still there. I directed this concert and it rained all day. They tried to get me to move indoors but I wanted the windows, walls and guard towers. So did the band! All the leads had to be dried so the inmates got their hair dryers out for us. Saved the show. more stories re: van halen, meat loaf, blind melon, triumph. Oopsnoroom.

They were brand new to us and when they sang Let it Ride and Takin Care of Business the place went crazy! Then they hit the big time and were top billing at the re-opened Fillmore East. I think Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band opened. BTO rocked the house down! Everything was shaking. It was so freakin loud and they played magnificently! Great band!
