That statement is just simply not true at all. The pa systems at that time for most bands were so distorted that while the song was recognizable, it could never match 'exactly what you heard on the album". There are exceptions, but we'll into the 80s the rock concert stadium sound was famously distorted. Concert sound these days is far superior. Sorry man.
3 weeks before this song hit the airwaves April Wine played my high school for $ 300 , a month later we probably would have payed thousands Long live Chom-Fm
Mr. Myers; DAMN FUCKIN' RIGHT!!!!!! Not only that; THE LOUDER, THE FUCKIN' PROUDER!!!!! April Wine has ALWAYS PRIDED THEMSELVES ON BEING FUCKIN' LOUD (& PROUD)!!!!! NOW THAT'S REAL ROCK & ROLL MUSIC!!!!!!
+timeout1958 for sure agree great Canadian bands and grow up listening to all of them and they bring on some great memories and reminiscent of some first time loves and first times for many things. Hated most of the radio music back then so was enjoyed even more.
+George Whalen Was and are still together but these bands are the corner stone of Candian music breaking into a difficult and costly profession that was monopolized by the US and Europe
The place, A local high school located in Ville LaSalle, Quebec back in the early 70's is where I and all my school friends first heard this amazing band. Can you just imagine, being in that school with April Wine? They blew everyone away, I am so very happy April Wine went on and became Super Rock Stars. I saw this band BEFORE they became famous, They played at a local school in the gym, None of us had mobile phones back then. When April Wine was finished their very first song, all of us were like JAW DROPPED - TOTALLY LIKE - WHO ARE THESE GUYS????? Then they played their second song, it was just awesome, we were jumping - screaming, WHAT AN AMAZING BAND. Hey if any of the guys in the April Wine reads this do drop me a message. Much Respect John from Ville LaSalle, Quebec.
cool, I can totally relate to what you´re saying, and I´ve been to lasalle many times, back then, everything was new, even star wars was something you heard about first, then went to see without really having a clue, then you were just blown away, I saw level 42 the band at university making their first north american appearance, and it was like wtf, who are these guys, great musicians...have a good day
Jerry Merser's youngest son Sean is also a drummer and is the former drummer of a couple of close friends of mine. He actually jammed with us one night about a year ago before this corona crap started. Very good drummer. I also met Jerry at the old bourbon street in Pointe claire and spoke to him after AW's set. No Myles..Jerry was a gentlemen, and an extremely hilarious guy. He also played a killer set. He's probably the most powerful drummer from Montreal that I've ever seen, and at the time he was pushing 70 !! As a drummer myself I've always been influenced by certain aspects of his playing, such as his sense of creating unique rhythmic patterns and odd time signatures..
@@logicalnotes5007 No way !!! You Too??? Oh wow man, Me too!!! Banging down them Labatt 50's at the Witches Hut, Oh and the LaBatt Club on Central Street, Yeah we sure were The Good 'ol Boys of Lasalle in the Bronx. Haha Oh boy, and Bernies Bar, I miss them dive bars boy, I drank myself sober so many time I tell ya. Look out teeth, look out gums, look out stomach here she comes. CHEERS...............
@@rhythmista7707 Jerry Merser, wow I haven't heard that name is over 40 year, Yeah I remember the guy,, I was very very sad to hear he passed away, no he is not pushing 70 he must be over 80 when he passed, What a really nice man, RIP Jerry.
The soloing has a Southern Rock/Allman Brothers Band-sound to it. I watched the April Wine doc/tribute to Myles Goodwyn last night. And discovered the reason why they started getting a 'harder' rock sound was because of Moffet's contribution, I think. They said he was "well versed" in 'American' music. That can only mean he knew 'American'-rock thoroughly, and it reflected in his playing. So, it's not a surprise to me to hear you say it reminds you of a warm summer day. That's exactly what most of the 'Allman'-sound sounds like, and other Southern Rock as well. Lots of Major-sounding keys with bluesy sounds melded into it. Then when you inject a rythym into it like they were capable of doing, weĺl, WHAM! You get a great 1970s Rock song! My first exposure to April Wine was an 8-track of "Harder, Faster" in 1980 to 1981, after my older brother came home from U.S. Navy service/N.O.B. NORFOLK, VA. He had that one, Led Zeppelin 4, AC/DC Highway To Hell & If You Want Blood/live album. My KISS Dynasty album started gathering DUST after he let my younger brother and I start borrowing those 8-tracks! 😅😅😅
Takes me right back to those days as a young cocky teenager. April Wine had a hand in developing my music taste my attitude and my maturing. Thanks for the memories.
Ya that rap crap literally ruined what people call music. I feel sorry for the kids today. They think music is "click click bang". I remember when dad used to play April Wine all the time when I was younger. Now I have my little kids listen lol. I swear sometimes I feel I was alive and kicking in the 60's when I was born in the 70's. Always listening to hits like this. Sigh...
Am happy to read the many positive comments. Know in my 40's April Wine will always have a place on my past and in my growth. As many have said , they are a Canadian band and that has always made me proud to celebrate share and listen to this great iconic band. It never gets old to me.
@@TheMetalgod777 my personal opinion i just love AW’s style and flow a lot more than Rush’s, the 3 guitarists really make their sound, plus myles goodwyn’s magic
So I discovered this song WAY after the rest of the radio hits; has now become my fave and couldn’t be more honored than to pay tribute today to the great Myles Goodwyn…RIP
citizen of winnipeg manitoba here and can honestly say no song is better then this on a hot summer prairies sunset in mid july with your beers chilling getting ready for a gr8 weekend!!!!
I tried to find out who did this song forever after I heard it in one of the best scenes from Eastbound and Down and someone FINALLY helped me out and now I've found a new band I love. At 43, that doesn't happen very much!
I became an April Wine fan after hearing this song (Hot Chocolate cover). I would go on to love countless songs the band recorded in the 70's and 80's. RIP Myles Goodwyn🙏
There are two versions by Hot Chocolate. There's the original single version which is closer to this cover. And There's a later version which was more disco-esque with a horn section.
I am heading out for an April Wine concert right now! Feels very very strange; saw April Wine (Stampeders too) right here 40 years ago!! I am thinking I might fall into one of those 'worm holes' tonight - disappear into the past. Ha ha , so if no one ever sees me again, just tell them Im having a multi verse experience! :)
I am 50 years old and lead a rock band that has been entertaining the city and the area where we come from for 10 years. Wife (50) is backing vocals, older son (28) guitar, younger son (24) drums, I play lead guitar, neighbor is on keyboards, and his brother is bass guitar. Family business. This song is one of the main ones at the opening of our concerts! (I advertised myself a bit, but it doesn't matter 😄)
I love this cover as much as the original. When I heard it the other night on the radio, and couldn't believe my ears. Why do some classics not get much airplay, while others have been played to death?
oh for the days back north, AM radio blasting out April Wine..in a better world, with much much better music. Just between you & me, we'll never see days as great again..thanks Myles for so many great memories. Godspeed.
New to April Wine, loving their stuff. I'm American, but my Dad grew up in Michigan, and I'm in Michigan now, and I just love how we get the Canadian bands on the radio here in Michigan, and yes, there are some absolutely fantastic bands/artists from Canada. Kim Mitchell, Chilliwack, The Guess Who, BTO, Crash Test Dummies, and April Wine. Definitely leaving some good ones out, but, thanks for introducing me to great music, music that you can not only hear, but feel as well.
Wendy; don't "Crash & Burn" unless u wanna b a "Roller" bc "I Like To Rock" as "Tonite Is A Wonderful Time To Fall In Love". It's a "Sign Of The Gypsy Queen" that says "You Could Be The Right One". W/that said, "Enough Is Enough" 4 now.
Agree .I remember as a young teen playing this song at parties having some shots and few doobies and playing spin the bottle with the girls lol great memories cheers 🍷🍷
Damn, I found out super late. Roller and this came on the radio today. My mom saw AW play at their high school way back when, and when I got the chance to volunteer for stagehand work at a festival they were headlining in 2016, I asked Myles if he would say hi to my mom because "my goodness, she'd melt!" He said yes and when they were loading out leaving the venue at the end of the night, I told her to wait at a specific spot where they would depart, and he came out and said hi. She'll never forget that, and neither will I. RIP Myles Goodwyn, your music is a Canadian treasure.
Heard this song this morning on the radio on the way to work. Took me back to the days of early morning hockey practice with Dad. Great times! Have a Great day!
Why is this not in play on the classic rock FM? Never heard this I'm 41 I known every band from the 60's 70'smy buddy kevin turned me on too it at work he is younger than me wtf i love them my new favorite band!
Takes me back to the time I had a summer job as a CPR railway porter in my University days. The rule was that we couldn't sleep more than 3 hrs. a night, en route, which was virtually impossible to observe. The "rhythm of the rails" is absolutely mesmerizing. A songwriter can't go wrong with a "train song." The City of New Orleans was an instant classic. And I've heard 97 different versions of The Orange Blossom Special and have yet to hear a bad one. It's the popular music counterpart of The William Tell Overture. I realize this April Wine ditty is not, strictly speaking, a "train song" but, IMHO, the lyrics are almost superfluous. Since I'm only semi-familiar with this song I'll have to listen to it again to find out what it's all about!
Amazing Song by such an amazing Band! Extremely relevant message for all 'young' ladies today! Shows the true character of the Singer & his Song! Pure class! If the world had more men who viewed women like that & more women who viewed themselves like that, what a different world it would be today! Indeed! Thank you for sharing! Blessings to you!
RIP Myles, you will never be forgotten 🙏💕Thank you for the great concerts 🎶❤🎶

Class of '72 in southern Ontario....this dominated the airwaves.....I had the 8-track!
Greatest thing about early 70s hard rock is that what you heard on stage is exactly what you heard on the album. Raw and not over engineered
agreed!!! this song has been amazing since my childhood...still as good as it was then...good tunes never get old....they just rock harder!!
Meat and potatoes rock. Hard to fuck that up. Real guitars. Real amps. Patch Chords. Old school.
April Wine never got the praise& recognition they so earnestly deserved ,God bless the unsung Heroes
You got that right !! It's nothing but phoney now .
Nothing but Tits and ass !!
Those were the days of GREAT MUSIC !!

"You Could Have Been a Lady" shoulda been a HUGE hit. What a great song!
The original version by Hot Chocolate charted at 22 in the UK. They didn't release it as a single in the US or North America.
It was fairly big here in the US. I had the 45 version when it came out on Big Tree records .

Their first hit. Has aged well. Just Like That is probably my favorite rocker they did.

we played this on the jukebox at the pool...wore it out!!! :-)
Takes me back to the time I had a summer job as a CPR railway porter in my University days. The rule was that we couldn't sleep more than 3 hrs. a night, en route, which was virtually impossible to observe. The "rhythm of the rails" is absolutely mesmerizing. A songwriter can't go wrong with a "train song." The City of New Orleans was an instant classic. And I've heard 97 different versions of The Orange Blossom Special and have yet to hear a bad one. It's the popular music counterpart of The William Tell Overture. I realize this April Wine ditty is not, strictly speaking, a "train song" but, IMHO, the lyrics are almost superfluous. Since I'm only semi-familiar with this song I'll have to listen to it again to find out what it's all about!
This April Wine song was a hit at the exact same time as Arlo's City of New Orleans, so that might be the connection you made!
