Never has there been a better Rock n Roll voice than Fred C Turner's. BTO 2 was the first album I bought with my own money waaaaayyyyyy back when Let it Ride and TCB were eating the Canadian airwaves. While I long ago grew tired of TCB, Let it Ride never gets old. What a GREAT tune.
Randy Bachman Ladies and gentlemen! One of the most underrated guitarists of all time! Fred Turner ladies and gentlemen! The most gravelley voice I have ever heard! True Canadian icons!
No C.F. (Fred) Turner, no BTO. It's boring without Fred's rockin the mic and bass with his ruff, raw, raspy classic rock sound on his original classics like Let It Ride, Roll On Down The Highway, and Take It Like A Man!
These two would absolutely OWN today's music scene if they were born 40 years later. Today's wannabes will never touch the majesty of 70's rock and these guys are just one example. Randy and Fred, two heavy weights in a class of their own.
When they opened up they'd blow everyone else off the stage. When the others heard Randy and Fred they would have realized that perhaps they need to get into another line of work.
Couple of old geezers showing this new generation what real music sounds like. Way to go Fred and Randy. You still sound better than anything I hear today.
Still has that 'growl" in his voice some 50yrs later... these guys are from my youth and still rockin' and are still good..... something today's so called musicians won't be doing next week. Keep rockin BTO!!!!!
I'm 61...and for some reason watching this made my eyes well up.I guess it's because these guys were such a huge part of my teenage years.Runnin with my buddies,chasing girls,burnin joints and rocking with these guys was the daily.They are absolute legends.😤👍
When the chorus joins in with the rhythm guitar for the songs signature sound ... I get chills nearly every time. One of the great "chorus hooks" in all of rock. ... well, at least one of my very favorite ones.
Music of my youth growing up in northern Ontario, cruising around in -37c weather drinking beer in my ‘72 Impala. Those were the good old days. Remember summers going to the drive-in with two people up front and 4 people in the trunk sneaking in. Listening to BTO cranked and drinking beer waiting for it to get dark and the movie started. Kids now have no idea what they missed out on. Great music, cool cars and nobody breathing down your neck constantly.
One of my favorite songs in my hippie years. Would turn up the radio in my car and sing along with Bachman and Turner and I'd Let It Ride. COME ON LET"S ROCK!!!!!
That video is proof that they still have it all together. Back in the day when this music came out on the radio, before ZZ top, all of us high School gearheads enjoyed BTO, I especially, but then again I liked Peter Frampton, and Jethro Tull. Seriously, it sounds even better than it did 45 years ago.
I seen B.T.O. in 1986 in New Jersey. What a great rock band and I don't know what was louder Fred Turner's voice or their instruments..Just pure rock - n - roll talent !!!!! 😎
I can't give this performance enough thumbs up. Their timing is still on point, the playing is still sharp af, and when Fred hits that note at 3:40..🎶😆..I melt. 😱
BTO was one of my early favorites as a teenager growing up in the mid-late 70's. My friends and I would play the hell out of their Not Fragile album on the console stereo in my parent's basement.
Randy Bachman still has it too. Seen them a few months ago on Bloomsburg Pa. Opening Fights. Awesome. Damn I felt young. I'm 63 and seen them 25 years ago like dejavou
Wow watching Randy and Fred still tearing it up is so awesome! I saw them in the '70's,but I like this one much better! Fred's vocals and bass playing,and Randy's guitar work and vocals are still better than most of todays artists!
I was a kid in 70's & 80's and sure miss REAL rock and roll like this. BTO opened up for Van Halen at a fairly small county convention center, and to date, was the LOUDEST show I have ever attended and I have seen a ton! Robbie broke his snare head and with the exception of one roadie handing him a new head, He changed it on the fly during the live show! TRUE showmen! One of the GOAT!
You guys are freaking great Fred Turner sounds better than ever Randy Bachman still sounds great you guys rock love to hear the older rock and rollers play you guys are amazing man Rock on one of my favorite groups Bachman-Turner Overdrive
I really miss Fred! This is a perfect example of Rock & Roll. If people wrote, played and listened to more there wouldn't be so much violence in the world.
I had this album when I was in the army back in 1976. I love seeing these old guys from the old bands still playing. Groups like Jethro Tull and guys like Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler never get old.
Randy's guitar playing is still phenomenal and Fred's voice truly amazing while carrying that killer bass line all the while.......Come back to Chicago,I'd love too see you live
First time I had the pleasure to see these amazing artists was at a high school dance in Kirkland, Wa. Think it was 72 maybe 73. Seen them many times since, from arenas to dive bars. Old rockers never die
I knew he was talented and all but his voice totally blows me away. Interesting how unbelievably talented some of the musicians from the 70s (and other decades) were with little fanfare or marketing. The Doobie Brothers just did a from-home Covid 19 era version of Black Water a couple weeks ago, and like Fred Turner, the purity of their voices is amazing. It could easily have been done 40 + years ago. Woo hoo for Fred and Randy, both awesome dudes still rockin'.
Fred blows away 95% of any eras best singers, for hard rock. I consider him a top 5 of all time in rock vocals. Incredible talent. May he get proper recognition in his own time.
Hard to believe three of the most distinctive voices of the 60's/early 70's came from Winnipeg. While each is very different (Cummings, Turner, Young) - they are also iconic for that great era of music.
@@davidcarter2720 That fact is really amazing indeed. And that they all knew each other, along with Bob Dylan, while growing up... one would almost suspect higher powers were involved.
Agreed - I like how Randy describes Fred's voice as a "gravel truck"... that's a perfect analogy, Ha ha... and still after all these years Fred still reaches the high's of his original vocal recordings decades ago - the man is a true dynamo !!!
Almost 39 years ago, on Saturday, April 12th, 1975 I went on a date with a young lady & went to a concert featuring "BTO" at the Tulsa, Oklahoma Fairgrounds Pavilion. 364 Days later on April 10th, 1976 (1976 was a leap year) I married that young lady. This coming Thursday my wife & the love of my life, Kathy, & I will celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary. It has been an "E" ticket ride so far & hope it continues for many more years to come!
I'm old enough to remember when guess who was on the radio all the time, and then BTO came out more electrifying, and to hear this today is so spectacular.
Absolutely one of my favorite rock bands growing up in the 1970s party on Wayne rock on Garth thank you my neighbors to the north many Good Times thanks to these fellows
I am 19 and I am glad I was raised on this music
You had neat parents, probably stoners 😂
I'm 67. Me too!!
I'm 18. I thank my grandpa for that but he's gone now so I only have this to remember him😢
Rest In Peace, Robbie Bachman.
I'm 72 years old and I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!
62 here 🍻🍻🍻
I'm 68 great music😍😍
These legendary Rockers outdo many of their younger generation counter parts. I grew up with their music. Old is Gold!

Randy's playing is legendary and Fred's vocals and bass playing is absolutely great!! Live on guys!!!!!!!
Agree
I always played 6 string but I bought a bass because of Fred Turner makes it fun when me and my kid play together and we switch guitars
Randy Bachman Ladies and gentlemen! One of the most underrated guitarists of all time! Fred Turner ladies and gentlemen! The most gravelley voice I have ever heard! True Canadian icons!
Thats true best Rock ever🎤🎸
💯
Amen
my all time fave rock n roll band...July 2023
Solid!!!
Nothing better than watching grey-haired rockers whose song was popular 40+ years ago still rock it out. Flawless performance.
No autotune or any technological bs. Just raw talent. Awesome performance!
Right on! It s called the thing baby
Wow pleasantly surprised Fred could still belt this one out. The grit and power of the vocal really makes the song.
Fred is one of the friendliest rock stars ever.
Wow, did not expect him to get it up for the scream at the end! And while walking the bass all over place. Well done 👏
Kind of like when you see zMichael Anthony from Van Halen. He can still hit those notes you think he shouldn't
Had enough years to perfect it :)
@@Azznbad - He WAS Van Halen, lol. He is what gave them their groove, everyone else was filler!!
Fred is Pounding that Bass like it owes him Money!
Man still has a powerful voice!! This song takes me back to great times
Oh yea!!
me too
Sometimes music is even better live.
Me too
And returns them right "Bach"man. Full circle RIP Randy via Turner (vocals) metaltomotown
I love Randy's solo!!!
Lordy, Fred Turner still has one of the finest voices in music. And his bass playing...jeez!
🔥🔥🔥
Exactly
Kids this is called ROCK n ROLL
Yeah, he's great! The only thing I'm missing is his old Rickenbacker. This one sounds adequate though.
Dude can fuckin' SANG!
Fred still has the most amazing raw rock and roll voice. Wow.
Rob halford on four wheels !!!!!
James Dewar with Robin Trower had a raw voice
yes he did she had a great raw voice also
This is called old men kicking rock n roll ass , perfection '
Man, Turner hasn't lost ANYTHING on his voice.......fantastic.
I’m 61 an these are still my favorite songs…. Have to feel sorry for the kids these days and what they have.
you're not alone......this one is great
My favorite BTO song which I enjoyed when it was released in the 70s and which I still enjoy today.
Fred please come back with Randy in 2024 for your fans!
No C.F. (Fred) Turner, no BTO. It's boring without Fred's rockin the mic and bass with his ruff, raw, raspy classic rock sound on his original classics like Let It Ride, Roll On Down The Highway, and Take It Like A Man!

It’s meant to be 70s time capsule is precious ❤

You're damned right! I remember when this album released... Wow!
Yeah, it's fantastic song writing. I just learned the intro watching Randy's hands. Pure c-l-a-s-s.
Welcome back our Canadian rock and roll brothers.
A couple of old dinasours still kicking ass! Damn that Turner's still got it! This is how it's done kids.
For sure
Couple of old geezers showing this new generation what real music sounds like. Way to go Fred and Randy. You still sound better than anything I hear today.
Easily!!!
Not sure the word geezers is very respectful, but they still got it for sure!
@@lolozow3533 Depends on who's using it. I'm a 70 year old geezer and I have plenty of respect for them.
@@Rikki0 OK - you get a pass haha. Would still love to see them in concert after watching this. I'm 56. 😁
Legends
Was today’s year old when I heard this song..played it for over an hour!
No computer enhanced background tracks, no auto tune! Just rock and roll at its finest! Guys that can actually play and sing!
You're damn right, mister. Like for your comment! 👏👏
Damn right yeah yeah yeah. Cool bro rock and roll is king. Ugh grow up.
Still has that 'growl" in his voice some 50yrs later... these guys are from my youth and still rockin' and are still good..... something today's so called musicians won't be doing next week. Keep rockin BTO!!!!!
Fred and Randy are still amazing. Fred still sounds great in his 70's.

Awsome man catching a good buzz and hearing them FM came out. Looking from one speaker to the other
What a fantastic memory.
@@allancerf9038Memories are all that I have ... 😮
We did grascid. They were not days of wine and roses.
Fred Turner's voice is irreplaceable. You'll never find another human who could sing with that style. Cool.
First album I ever bought, with weekly allowance saved-up when I was 11 years young, was BTO2. They sound great as ever!
I'm speechless after nearly 40 years they were still this great. Glad I grew up in an era when musical art was uncompromising and great.
Yep...we were very lucky ! 🎼👍🎸
Was a great song to begin with. They didnt change it so why would/should it change!?
Didn't expect their singing to be so good in these later years.Wow!
I heard this song in 78, I was 9 years old. Since that day is all classic rock for me.
KILLER solo from Randy, and Fred sounds fierce!
I was not expecting these vocals. Amazing
When the chorus joins in with the rhythm guitar for the songs signature sound ... I get chills nearly every time. One of the great "chorus hooks" in all of rock. ... well, at least one of my very favorite ones.
2:38 when Fred is just staring at Randy with a big smile as he fires of classic lead is priceless.
great moment...not lost on me either.
I had all their albums when I was 14. And I’m 62. Best music ever.
Holy Smokes, that was great, that old man sang his ass off, excellent!!!
Music of my youth growing up in northern Ontario, cruising around in -37c weather drinking beer in my ‘72 Impala. Those were the good old days.
Remember summers going to the drive-in with two people up front and 4 people in the trunk sneaking in. Listening to BTO cranked and drinking beer waiting for it to get dark and the movie started.
Kids now have no idea what they missed out on. Great music, cool cars and nobody breathing down your neck constantly.
Randy Bachman, at the core of 2 of the most underrated rock bands in history! Which IMHO are in the top 10 greatest!
Who could gives these guys a thumbs down? Randy Bachman still rocking at 70!
Still got it!!!!
Good ole boys from Canada
Fred Turner is perhaps THE most underrated bassist of the 1970s. His singing is a bonus.
His voice stayed strong af
Right here (in 2010) is arguably the best live bass line in rock history
I love when it kicks in at 0:10
I love C.F. Turner's vocals and bass playing.
I totally agree!
Those guitars, what tone in their crunch, yeah! Turner is is good....❤❤❤❤ Excellent recording. Thanks
One of my favorite songs in my hippie years. Would turn up the radio in my car and sing along with Bachman and Turner and I'd Let It Ride. COME ON LET"S ROCK!!!!!
Seen this gig on AXS-TV a couple years ago. GR8 show....THANX for posting....
You can tell they played this song a million times. Mastery
So amazing! Fred Turner with that gravelly voice, at that age, exactly like the studio recording! Holy Cow!
That video is proof that they still have it all together. Back in the day when this music came out on the radio, before ZZ top, all of us high School gearheads enjoyed BTO, I especially, but then again I liked Peter Frampton, and Jethro Tull.

Proud canadian band happy you saw them
How can you not appreciate this? No matter what genre of music you like, just the fact these guys are up there having fun and kicking ass.
Loved this tune when it came out.....gettin' chills.
I can't give this performance enough thumbs up. Their timing is still on point, the playing is still sharp af, and when Fred hits that note at 3:40..🎶😆..I melt. 😱

Fred Turner’s voice is incredible. Such killer guitar riffs on this one too
Between this band and the guess who, Randy Bachman has scored an impressive portfolio of music in his lifetime. Turner is great here also!
Wow, what a bass line! I wish the studio recording had the bass this prominent in the mix!
He is singing and playing a wicked bass line its awesome 🙂
Thank you, Canada, for BTO!
a good old fashioned rock song, not over produced yet has the right edge and has the right harmony, the kids of the now, THIS IS HOW IT"S DONE!!!!!
Randy Bachman still has it too. Seen them a few months ago on Bloomsburg Pa. Opening Fights. Awesome. Damn I felt young. I'm 63 and seen them 25 years ago like dejavou

1973-74...priceless.
I can't believe Fred still has a voicebox left after all these years,Superb performance!
BTO's best song. Nobody could sing it like Fred Turner. Great extended guitar solo by Randy also.
You guys are freaking great Fred Turner sounds better than ever Randy Bachman still sounds great you guys rock love to hear the older rock and rollers play you guys are amazing man Rock on one of my favorite groups Bachman-Turner Overdrive
What an unforgettable power ballad with all the intensity and tension of a true rock anthem. Rock on boys!
I really miss Fred! This is a perfect example of Rock & Roll. If people wrote, played and listened to more there wouldn't be so much violence in the world.
No autotune - no enhancements - those were the days when you heard a band on vinyl that's what you heard live - absolutely LOVE it.
Played so much on the radio you lose appreciation of what good music these guys have made!

Seen twice in Chicago best song blue collar

I love Randy's solo on this. One of his best ever.
They were my first favorite rock band. Wore out many 8tracks and cassettes! Still got the fire and sizzle!
Fantastic rocker from their second album released in 1973 !!! Great concert !!!
I can't believe the old man is still hitting all the same notes !! Friggin awesome !! I want to learn to play guitar and sing now..
Still a killer song, and Fred Turner -- wow, awesome power in that voice!
Yeah,he's great!!!!
scott sileo it’s amazing he still has that power and control still, then again he looks great and he moves like a much younger man.
Still the caveman!
Killer vocals there absolutely spot on!!

That song still is so great it came out when I was 15 years old and I adored it and still do at 60.
What a voice. And one of the best screams in rock history - melodic and raucous at the same time.
Fred blows away 95% of any eras best singers, for hard rock. I consider him a top 5 of all time in rock vocals. Incredible talent. May he get proper recognition in his own time.
97%

Congratulations🎉🎊 I've seen a lot of great shows there 👍
what a cool story!! I was in elementary school when this song came out... I bought the 45 from my paper route money...

How can you NOT love this whole album!! I bought it when it came out and I still have it. LOL
No way this song isn’t about what it feels like to be cheated on! Nobody screams like that for no reason!!! Best song ever!!!
Absolutely one of my favorite rock bands growing up in the 1970s party on Wayne rock on Garth thank you my neighbors to the north many Good Times thanks to these fellows
One of the best band mid 70s
I love this band...
They certainly can still rock ❣️
Great music never ever get s old
Caught this concert on tv the other day, Randy & Fred just kicked ass, sound better than ever.
I'm 56 years old and this is my favorite BTO song. I was like 5 or 6 when this came out and still love it. ❤ Thanks guys
BTO,my favorite tune by them and have to really crank this up to full blast...
