I grew up in North Dakota listening to HeadPins , everybody had the cassettes and I still have the original album " Turn it Loud" Live in Florida now and I've made sure you have fans down here lol
I didn't know I felt like this until I played the song.
It's obvious what a fun gig this was for all involved. The song is fun to play, it has such great hooks, piano echo back, good tandem lead breaks, and playing with Darby who seems to be having a blast getting to sing her song again. Simplicity done well. Great job.
A major crush in the 80's .....58 now and she can still hammer the performance ..................Darby and Taylor ..... what a smash performance .... bloody timeless ...
Darby looks good for 60 years old and she still nails it! This song was a Canadian hit in 1982. If it would have caught on in the US and elsewhere, it would have easily have been number 1 on at least the BillBoard rock charts.
That absolutely blew my mind...arguably the greatest female vocalist to ever emerge from Canada...I adore her rasp...something you are born with...Darby has a unique gift and a talent rarely matched... Cheers from the Thrash metal band WRECK-DEFY !!
I had the pleasure of seeing the Headpins play in a hotel lounge in Butte Montana one night. Too loud MacLeod was the guitarist at the time (just a couple years before he passed). Wow, what a show! The band was tight! This lounge had floor to ceiling windows and it was so loud, they were pulsing like the Headpins were trying to blow them out lol. RIP Brian.
Absolutely amazing, I don’t know anyone on this planet in the last 30 years in the music industry that can sing like this gal. Thank you Darby for great tunes. Fellow Canadian ❤️
Fantastic! I have lived in Chilliwack BC for 22 years. Yes Chilliwack is a real city not just a band. About 85, 00 of us live here. Love the Headpins! Darby you still got it!
I have worshiped Darby and the Headpins for longer than any of care to remember. I have a '67 Plymouth Barracuda. Basically the only CD that ever gets played in that car is Headpins. I never get tired of it! Come on summer. Kudos to all the musicians in this video, too.
Born on 1959 in Vernon, British Columbia, Mills began singing back-up vocals for Canadian bands in the late 1970s, most notably the British Columbia-based band Steelback. After signing on with the Headpins in 1981, the group began a three-album run at the top of the Canadian charts. Their debut album "Turn It Loud", quickly went platinum and topped the charts for six weeks. It spawned the hit single "Don't It Make Ya Feel". Their follow-up, "Line of Fire", produced the hits "Celebration" and "Just One More Time". The Headpins toured Europe and North America while opening for bands such as KISS, Whitesnake, ZZ Top and Aerosmith, among others. Mills released her debut solo LP, Never Look Back, backed by the Unsung Heroes. She returned to re-form the Headpins with Bernie Aubin and Ab Bryant a year or so later, without guitarist Brian MacLeod. In 2005, Mills was nominated for a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.
OMG I never knew who sang, who the band was, or even that they are Canadian. But my 80's were partially spent bombing along rural Nova Scotia morning and afternoons to and from small rural country schools; THIS VOICE was the BEST part of all of that! Our bus was decked out with two speakers at the very back on either side of the Emergency Exit Door; controlling the tape deck was our very tolerant bus driver, Martin. Volume was not legislated in those years, let's just say... "FLIP the tape! Flip the TAPE!!" was heard each time the music ran out. Oh, those days! I promise you, that bus BOUNCED to this music along rocky, dusty dirt roads in summertime, and shot along like a curling rock in ice-covered wintertimes, confounding the grazing farm animals as we winded our way along, windows down as weather permitted. This was cheap therapy to get us awake and "there," and get over the matters of the school day as we headed back home. I owe my mental health and the origins of my female strength to this great lady of Canadian Rock and Roll. And like Ann of Heart, Darby Mills has GOT IT, STILL has it, and I thank God for her obvious vocal gifts. I feel so sorry for the kids today; they never grew up hearing REAL talent, REAL musical skills, but just a lot of auto tune and computer-processed faker-y backed by big marketing+management.🤩🚌
I think there is a thing that happens musically that causes that effect on me. When the piano drops a tone and the root keeps droning. Instant effect. I'll go back and find it and post the time stamp. I was tingling before hand but I think it was anticipation. It happens at 22 seconds in. 0:18
Damn Darby!! You sound amazing! I saw you on tour in Sudbury Ontario about 30 years ago. It was epic then - you're my female rock vocals idol - and you're still epic now. Love you! ❤
Ok this is crazy good work from everyone involved. Great live off the floor capture for sure. band is killing it as is Darby. Hats of to the mixer! WOW
I love your voice Darby. Your voice is just perfect for ROCK and that is what I love, hope you bring a come back to rock and roll and not to mention to loud MacLeod, what a guitarists i will always love his skills.
Omg this lady is gorgeous. Beautiful in all ways. We partied together in prince George, and it was amazing n an honor to meet mrs. Mills. Respect high for sharing your beauty with the the world n I. Bless gyal n big it up.
Absolutely incredible! She does this so effortlessly while other seasoned singers would be blowing their vocal chords out!!!😂 I am in awe of her talent.
She's still got it! Her voice is like a stunt pilot, she reaches for that note and just when you think she's gonna crash...she pulls right out of it!! Amazing!
What a voice! Why is nobody else watching this in total awe of this woman's vocal ability! I miss the 70s and 80s. Cheers
Right ! I agree
Time
@@Zak6959 She's sounds amazing.
What a set of pipes 👍
I grew up in North Dakota listening to HeadPins , everybody had the cassettes and I still have the original album " Turn it Loud"
Live in Florida now and I've made sure you have fans down here lol

Darby Mills...Queen of Scream !
Her voice is unique. One of the best female Rock vocalists.
Darby should be a household name. Talk about criminally underrated.
wow, her voice has not change, she still has it,
The riff to me is just incredibly amazing within itself, AND THEN THE LADY SPEAKS, and the jaw drops, its sooooo good
out of the park Darby...well done...
Horribly underrated raw rock star. Her vocals are stratospheric!
One of the greatest canadian rock tunes of all time!
absolutely!
I introduced my little niece to this song and she loved it immediately. Now, she sings it whenever I bring a box of donuts for dessert! 😆
A major crush in the 80's .....58 now and she can still hammer the performance ..................Darby and Taylor ..... what a smash performance .... bloody timeless ...
Darby Mills and Lee Aaron .... both under rated. What a tune , sensational.👍🤘
Holly Woods and Carole Pope too.
Darby is better than Lee lol
Jaw... Dropped ...
The fact her voice is so well taken care of and still in tact to do this, is absolutely AMAZING.
Darby looks good for 60 years old and she still nails it! This song was a Canadian hit in 1982. If it would have caught on in the US and elsewhere, it would have easily have been number 1 on at least the BillBoard rock charts.
Can't believe she can still belt it out like that. Wow.
That absolutely blew my mind...arguably the greatest female vocalist to ever emerge from Canada...I adore her rasp...something you are born with...Darby has a unique gift and a talent rarely matched...
Cheers from the Thrash metal band
WRECK-DEFY !!
Best female rock vocalist to ever emerge in the world imo.
That distortion is not something you are born with, she has worked hard at her craft to be able to create “safe” distortion.
That woman still fucking has it. God I would so pay to see her!! Darby Mills is one of the most underrated female Rock vocalists ever!!
What a voice. 40 years later.We still like Darby.
Dang; she hasn't lost a beat. Such a great voice...
In all the years since the Headpins, this lady has not lost it!
You bet - saw the Headpins at a college pub in the early 80's. Her voice is still awesome!
Such a class act. That was fun
WOW! Darby still has that powerful and distinctive voice of hers! :)
I had the pleasure of seeing the Headpins play in a hotel lounge in Butte Montana one night. Too loud MacLeod was the guitarist at the time (just a couple years before he passed). Wow, what a show! The band was tight! This lounge had floor to ceiling windows and it was so loud, they were pulsing like the Headpins were trying to blow them out lol. RIP Brian.
two of the best female voices in rock ... Darby Mills and Allanha Miles ...
Still the ruling "Queen of Scream"!! Keep rockin' Darby!!
Holy throwback Thursday Batman!!! Awesome flashbacks to an awesome time in my life!
Goddess Darby!! Your voice is amazing!! You and the whole band sound amazing! Way to go Taylor James!!
Absolutely amazing, I don’t know anyone on this planet in the last 30 years in the music industry that can sing like this gal. Thank you Darby for great tunes. Fellow Canadian ❤️
Wow, she still sings so amazingly. It's like no time has passed. Incredible

This was one of my favourite songs seeing her live in the local night clubs
I can't get enough of Darby she still rocks thats the only music that makes sense 80s rock
Darby you are amazing.
She was the band!
Brian "Too Loud" McLeod was the music... Darby was the voice. The 2 of them equally made the band....
... and that bass player was no slouch either..!!! He can lay down a MEAN boogie...
Darby is still sounding great, she's so badass...also the musicianship, sound engineering etc of this video is all-around amazing!
Still. KILLING. It!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
So, so good!
90's babyyyy & got chills. I grew up around this music, she's so cool lol
Oh I'm in love with that voice all over again....❤

The Queen of Scream - it has been a pleasure to have been able to hear her music and see her live since the late 70's in Vancouver!

Wow! Love her.
She's made the hair stand up on my back for 40 years!
Sh'e made my.........stand up on my front for 40yrs!
I have a YT file called Stands up the Hairs. Darby has earned her way onto that music list.
I think there is a thing that happens musically that causes that effect on me. When the piano drops a tone and the root keeps droning. Instant effect. I'll go back and find it and post the time stamp. I was tingling before hand but I think it was anticipation. It happens at 22 seconds in. 0:18
