This song is from the album Not Fragile recoded in 1974 and I think it was released the same year or the next year in 1975 So I’m gonna call that 50 years ago friend. I wish it was just 35 years ago it was released.
OMFG, I didn't believe this is Fred Turner... until he started to sing! He still has the same old melodic raw power in his voice. This is so damn good, I got tears in my eyes. And It makes me feel like I am 15 again. Thank you guys!
Gravel truck voice indeed. Turner can still deliver it! This feels so good.... thank you for posting --and thank you Randy Bachman and Fred Turner! I can't stop smiling...
saw this band in a small tavern,held about 250 people.there were about 600 showed.this was in upstate n.y.never had a better time in my life! they rocked the place,a good time was had by all.1986
@@billymickel464 rome,n.y.great place,forgot the name,right on rt.69. you could meet the band in person.just hold a few bar stools at the end off show for the guys.
Randy Bachman is probably the most underrated guitarist on the North American continent. His power cords and riffs are pure rock and roll at its finest; second to none in that genre. Not to mention his incredible songwriting skills. Amazing talent. Still waiting for someone to post a live version of Stonegates.
+Steve Roginski Underrated by whom?They were the biggest band in the WORLD in 1975.Randy Bachman is considered one of the greatest musicians in modern rock history by a swampload of his peers.I don't think you could name a band on earth that hasn't heard this music.
They were AWESOME, but Steve is right, 75 was my time, BTO was again, in my mind, awesome, but not considered one of the best for some stupid reason...maybe not enough exposure,,,and,,,those years? My God we had some good bands,,,Now we have Kanye! barf
To me, it was always a song about life, not just trucks and highways. They nailed it. Long live BTO. RIP Robbie. You’ll be missed. “The time’s real short, you know the distance is long.”
The Northern Bros that kicked down the door to give us our tunes , thank you guys it gave me an entire life up to now of good times. That's what I call my soundtrack of life.
25 years ago I bought my first BTO album, Not Fragile...to this day one of the best in my book. Still rocking it after all these years, they are one of the reasons I picked up the guitar and learned to play. Mr Bachman, Mr Turner..I salute you both, thanks for the great music !
Just saw Randy (and Tal) a couple nights back (11/9/24) at FireKeepers Casino in Battle Creek, Mich. Incredible show. Randy can still rock with the best of them...because he IS one of the best.
Randy and Fred look better than ever, are playing better than ever and I never thought I would see this happen! But it has and it's a hugely better world because of it! Rolling along Rolling along!
Chicago Illinois, 17 years old listening to this on WLS AM The Big 89. Couldn't drive then but I was rollin' down the highway on my bike listening to this.
Love this time of music. It wasn't about who could shred or play the fastest. It was about purity, timing and the clean notes. True vocal clarity was also key.
You should see the yout’s today when I drive down the street with my doors vibrating with this song playing and Randy Bachmans solo blasting through me! I’m 64, and I feel this music just like it did when I was a teenager and pounding on my drum set in the basement over and over and over!🥰
Bachman Turner Overdrive one of my favorite bands freshman year in highschool 14years old now I'm 60years old and I'm still jamming to this tune absolutely love them
16 year old Kid in 1973 Driving a 64 Mercury Park Lane Marauder with the 390 did a lot of rolling down the Highway listening to this, thanks Mom Love you Always! BTO ruled!
Dude I remember them days....Life was more simple and so were people..Rock on Bro Im with you all the way..all the way down the highway/dirt roads as a kid crusin \m/
They NEED to be in the R&R Hall of Fame! They have sold OVER 30 MILLION RECORDS now (Read the rest of their stats)> Their 1970s catalogue included five top-40 albums and six US top-40 singles (11 in Canada). BTO has five certified gold albums and one certified platinum album in the US; in Canada, they have six certified platinum albums and one certified gold album. There are several undeserving bands in the R&R HOF with far less album sales too!
Just a great song, with incredible NRG. The powerful bar-room voice of CF Turner. Then that great solo by Randy Bachman. Just flowing powerful NRG. Good party song!!!
I remember when my brother came home and told me hé had hear a great song on the radio from a band called BTO(bachman turner overdrive). Later that week i went to the recordshop and buy the 'four wheel get drive' album. I turned it almost every day. And today at 2024 i still listening
this right here, b.t.o. these guys will never fade or go out of style. long after they are gone, their music will continue to find new listeners. this is real talent that will stand the test of time. decades from now, most will not remember the teenybopper boy bands, but B.T.O. will be well known & referenced frequently.
My tastes have definitely evolved since this was a hit and I was eating it for breakfast. But what a treat to hear it again. And these old boys can still really nail it. Impressive.
Nice! We're all getting older. Man, that sounds great! Just like the album. My Mom yelled at me every time I played my Not Fragile LP. There was and still is only one way to play BTO.....LOUD! Crank it!
I don't take it for granted...this old Detroit boy has fond memories of Bradors and the "ballet" in Windsor. It really is still "pax Britanica" - Cannucks, Aussies, Brits and Yanks are the greatest force for good in the history of mankind.

Wow, Turner's voice has really held up well! For a guy almost 70 he can still belt it out like he was in his 20s.
Have always loved BTO, this is my favorite

Wow, Fred Turner can still belt it out 40 years later!! Way to go guys!
You got that right.....Turner makes BTO.

Not to mention his incredible songwriting skills. Amazing talent. Still waiting for someone to post a live version of Stonegates.
Yep, whoever is playing lead in this song should be in the top ten of lead guitarist rifts.
And Fred Turner is the most underrated vocalist.
amen
@@jenlarge9036 That is Randy Bachman playing lead and Fred Turner singing through a cement truck!
This song and Let it ride r my faves ❤😂
You're not lying... Fred and Randy can still "bring it".....
Fred is nailing it on the bass as well. Not just hanging on the roots either.
An extremely underrated classic rock band of the 70's.
+Steve Roginski You got that right Steve.....

LOL where were you in the 70s under a Toad Stool? With some rooomushooroms
Fred Turner’s voice is killer!
To me, it was always a song about life, not just trucks and highways. They nailed it. Long live BTO. RIP Robbie. You’ll be missed.

Oh Man! This wonderful guy has still the fucking rocking voice I cannot believe it!! Let it Roll!!!
More soul in that voice than 10 of todays corporate kid rockers.
Besides Fred’s vocals what makes this extra special is their choice to play it mirror exact to the 45 single, especially Randy’s solo
Fred still kills the vocals and the bass...Never drops a note!
Classic rock never dies
BTO will always be one of the best bands of all time in my my book
Me too! Highly underrated!
Great band. They really rock.
Let it roll!!!!
Oh the memories....Still jammin in 2021 at 67 years old!!!!
Saw BTO live in 1976. Still awesome.
Nice black coffee drinking morning get up and enjoy the day music! Thanks for sharing. ~

Holy Cow!! These old guys look like they are having a ball! And they can still get the job done!!

Fantastic! When you got it, you got it . Miss those days 😭 January 1975

Bachman Turner Overdrive, what a great name for a hard rocking band!!!!
The overdrive that came after bachman/turner came from a trucking industry magazine OVERDRIVE.
Not Fragile indeed
I met Randy Bachman on Salt Spring Island in B.C. at a Garage sale of all places. Very cool
Randy and Fred look better than ever, are playing better than ever and I never thought I would see this happen! But it has and it's a hugely better world because of it! Rolling along Rolling along!
How clean was that. one of the best guitar solos in rock.
Agree both Randy and Fred can bend them guitar strings, youtube Randy playing his guitar with a drum stick , the man can play cheers .
Wow!! Fred Turner is killin it!!!! Love this band. Brings me back to 9th grade when we were listening to BTO & Foghat.
Bloody awesome still...way to go guys.....

Mark Farner was asked why Grand Funk aren't in the hall of fame and his answer was.. because we haven't kissed enough butt.
Screw the hall of fame. What songs did they ever do?😅😅😅😅😅
Just a great song, with incredible NRG. The powerful bar-room voice of CF Turner. Then that great solo by Randy Bachman. Just flowing powerful NRG. Good party song!!!
Randy Bachman belongs in the Rock Hall of Fame
porky6884 Hell they all do🎸🎸
Pretty good stuff, from a couple of old guys! Still jammin', after all these years. Yep, I'm an old woman, and I still love me some BTO!

Same power , same energy , same fun like 40 years ago ! Good to know that some things never changed :-)
They still got it!! Fav song from my days!!!! Thanks for posting!!
Randy Bachman= two great Bands BTO and The Guess Who, those who grew up at that time were so Lucky!
+Fuzzydog57 Born in 57. These guys were huges when I was a teen.
Your so right my teen years were filled with live shows as BTO RULED The AIR WAVES ALONG
Kids can still listen to them today, and they do.
I saw the Guess Who at the amphitheatre at St.Clair College in Windsor in 1971, GREAT SHOW
I'm one who grew up then! So glad I did!
This song is so damn great...saw them in 1977 while in college and they kicked some major ass.
And Fred and Randy...Pure Magic together!
Bachman Turner played on the riverfront here in Alton,Ill around 2000 and it was incredible. They rocked the river !
Wow! What a voice!
I still have my Bachman Turner Overdrive album. It is a classic.
Randy Bachman is one of the greatest guitarist.
Awesome music in the 70s
Priceless footage !!!!
One of the best bar songs ever.
true
rolling down the highway....... how is that not the anthem of American rock and roll?
Cuz they're Canadian
Unbelievably brilliant!
I don't take it for granted...this old Detroit boy has fond memories of Bradors and the "ballet" in Windsor. It really is still "pax Britanica" - Cannucks, Aussies, Brits and Yanks are the greatest force for good in the history of mankind.
I saw y’all in New Orleans. Absolutely great. I was impressed by the drummer he was good.
Another Warehouse fan ???
Awesome times
CF Turner - one of the most underrated bassists in rock history. One of my favorite bands back in high school!
2 old legends still killing it so awesome
Bachman can make that guitar sing - love it!
It is amazing to me, after all of these years, how Fred can still bring all of that vocal power! You men Rock!!!!
