True. So many bands had to leave Canada tho before they'd be taken seriously. Even Anne Murray said Canada treated her like crap till she made it in US... _then_ suddenly the Canadian music industry was proud of her.
One of my Favorite bands lucky enough got to see Live in Regina Saskatchewan where I was born and their Tour started and ended..♥️♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦 True Magic from Stampeders😊
i met the group back in 1973 the day after their Ontario Place concert(which i was at)...i was at the airport on my way to Israel and they were checking in their luggage ahead of me in line, they were heading west and i was like "omggg its the Stampeders" and they gave me their autographs, they were such nice guys...i was only 16 so naturally, i was in 7th heaven...this was my favourite tune closely followed by Oh my Lady....hard to believe thats 44 years ago
One of my favourite songs of all time. I love his voice and the music is so great with the changeups. This is the first time I’ve seen it performed and now that I know the drummer is the singer, I love the song even more. I think it’s the epitome of awesome when a drummer sings.
one of my all time favourite canadian rockers.... just an awesome song.... the people that gave this video 10 thumbs down have no taste in music whatsoever. Thank you for the Stampeders.

I think the thumbs down are from emotional responses from memories of women with wild eyes! haha
I brought them to my high school in northern Ontario in 1978. They were awesome and still awesome. I heard they built up quite a following in southern USA like Louisiana. For a small population of Canada we produced a lot of great bands, like BTO, Guess Who (Burton Cummings), April WIne, Harlequin, Chilliwack, Trooper, Max Webster (Kim Mitchell), Blue Rodeo, Prism and let's not forget Teenage Head.
A friend of mine taught me this riff and I used to play it really loud lots of reverb and drive the amp into heavy distortion and I love it, that was close to thirty years ago.
My favourite band when I was 10 years old. Bought all their records (vinyl back then). Loved the fact that they were/are Canadian. Have never seen them in concert but would like to if they ever come back to Montréal. Apparently, they were quite popular in Holland, no doubt in part because Ronnie King (bassist) is Dutch and probably addressed audiences in their own language.
The boys took a lot of flack for the "light" nature of Sweet City Woman and were having trouble moving on from that musical type-casting so they decided to wrote a bone-crusher. If you want to fill in your Stampeders range of musical styles wheel, try one of the best ballads - Oh My Lady.
Got to meet these guys some years ago in Newfoundland and I couldn’t believe how friendly they were the drummer gave his drums sticks to my son and we had a chat for 10 minutes and we got there autographs.
When I was a kid I'd take a radio with me when we went to visit my grandma who lived within 100 mi of the Canadian border, and I could tune in the Canadian rock stations from Vancouver, BC, and I heard a lot of stuff that never made it onto the radio south of the border, and this track was one of them. I think if the Stampeders would have released more heavy guitar songs like this one in the US, they'd've gotten a bit more traction here, but they did OK in Canada, and there's nothing wrong with that. Track brings back memories. I'm half Canadian, only been there maybe three times, but I like a lot of the music that came from there. This vid has the long version of Wild Eyes, pretty cool to hear.
Drummer-singer is always something. People say it is difficult but like Levon Helm said you can lean on some of the principal beats. Thanks for uploading! Such an underrated band but so good.
+Olli Lehtonen Something this evening triggered me to listen to this song. This is some of the best rock that Canada produced in the early 1970s. The Stampeders are part of the best of the "Western Canadian rock" sound, much like The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive. You can probably see that I am also Finnish-Canadian by my name...
WTF? So, I am listening to my huge folder of 70s radio hits and Sweet City Woman comes on, and I realize I never really knew who did that tune. So I look it up and it's some band I don't think I ever heard of.... so I look for their other tunes and I find this balls-out headbanger. Totally unexpected. I had no fkin idea these guys woiuld kick so much ass. Sweet City Woman is a great radio tune, but this is bangin. Got to find more!
They were here in Nanaimo on June 30.2022, fantastic musicians and all members are great vocalists, the drum solo was awesome and his voice so powerful!!!
Believe it or not, I saw them playing in a SEARS department store at the Westgate Plaza on Carling Ave, Ottawa, 1971. They were so loud, nobody was watching. I do NOT know why they were playing there. I was about 9 or 10... weird.
I'm BC born and bred and was age 8 to 11 at their peak, and i always said they were CALGARY Stampeder's, i deal with reality and the reality is they are AB or ALT take your pick.
VINTAGE CANADIAN ROCK WE WILL NEVER HEAR AGAIN GROWING UP TO THAT IN THE 70s WERE THE BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE
Yep still tops🎉❤🎶🎵🥁👏👏🎸👏💃
Canada has produced there shere of great acts the Stampeder's , rush , the guess who , just to name a few .
Trooper, Doug and The Slugs, Chilliwack....etc.
The BEST musicians ever were bands of the 1970s. Black, white, did not matter & Canada is criminally overlooked as contributors to that great era.
Amen! 51 yr old Canadian transplant to USA. I was looking for Brothers of the Universe, that song marked my childhood.

Heard this all the time growing up in Canada 😎
Such a cool Canadian band!! Saw them at the CNE in 1974.
Found out about this song from northernlion and malf. Two great Canadians. American here, from Texas. Awesome Canadian band. :D
One of the catchiest songs of the seventies. Also quite heavy. Like old Budgie.
Chris W.; Completely agreed (but the Stampeders know their fuckin' shit thru & thru as do u).
Always stoked when this song is on the radio
Likewise here, Matt C.
Still one of f...n most awesome bands FOREVER 😁❤🌞😳

underrated band!

SPOT-ON, BUDDY!!!!! SPOT-ON U R!!!!! BONA-FIDE ROCK & ROLL @ ITS BEST!!!!!
I saw these guys live tonight! They still have it, Kim can still belt out vocals and blast an epic drum solo!

Completely agreed; the 10 thumbs down r turds.
My very favourite Stampeders song. Saw them many times in the 1970s!
So did I ! I was still consider a baby
I bet you had some Wild Eyes in the 70s

Stompin' Tom.. ♥️
First seen them in 1973, and many times since. Have talked with them. Great Band, Great guys. RIP Cornelius.
An awesome song .. I remember as a kid !!!
What a guitar riff......
A friend of mine taught me this riff and I used to play it really loud lots of reverb and drive the amp into heavy distortion and I love it, that was close to thirty years ago.
There's a version with a better solo.
The riff that established a TRUE STANDARD ON ROCK & ROLL REPRESENTS!!!!!
Early 70s listening to the Stampeders on the radio while driving from Kingston, Ont., to see Montreal Expos games at Jerry Park.
Yep Great memories from this band still with mom n her younger sister and my Older sister!! 🤗🤪😜☺️🤗😜🤗
They probably heard us four broads for sure !! Thank-you Stampeders!!
I didn't know them. What a great surprise, so good band.
Amazing ! We were blessed to have such excellent music in the 70's! They played at my highschool on Cape Breton Island!!! Best memory ❤
Ronnie Kings Dad Ivan used to cut my hair as kid growing up and even visited me in the hospital when I was hurt.
Old Calgary Band! My Dad knew these guys personally back in the day and said they were pretty talented!!
My favourite band when I was 10 years old. Bought all their records (vinyl back then). Loved the fact that they were/are Canadian. Have never seen them in concert but would like to if they ever come back to Montréal. Apparently, they were quite popular in Holland, no doubt in part because Ronnie King (bassist) is Dutch and probably addressed audiences in their own language.
saw this band in high school.......lovem my fav song........
watched them in Halifax on Saturday the three stooges of rock i watched them at the Dalhousie arts center good show October 15 2022
I forgot how good a drummer kim is.... along with a killer voice.
Shout out to Calgary! Was rocking out to this while driving home on Macleod Trail.
I had never heard this. It rocks a lot harder than "Sweet City Woman". More research needed:)
The boys took a lot of flack for the "light" nature of Sweet City Woman and were having trouble moving on from that musical type-casting so they decided to wrote a bone-crusher. If you want to fill in your Stampeders range of musical styles wheel, try one of the best ballads - Oh My Lady.

@Mustang terry I saw them too at the Mcphearson Playhouse in Vic is that we’re you were ? Awesome show wasn’t it? And Kim kicked ass !!
Where*
The don’t make music like this anymore. This generation does not know what they missed out on.
Got to meet these guys some years ago in Newfoundland and I couldn’t believe how friendly they were the drummer gave his drums sticks to my son and we had a chat for 10 minutes and we got there autographs.
awsome ! God .... thanks for giving us such great music ! AMEN !
This is such a great surprise after knowing them only for Sweet City Woman. This is a genuine rocker.
That a wicked tune good memories if they only could come back ill still crank to the end lolo
They are touring in 2021. Check out their website.

I like to listen to this when I go walleye fishing lol
An all time favourite
Such a great song!
From my hometown too! 😎🤘
Great video of my favorite Stampeders song.
Was privileged to see them play... 😊
Underrated band!
H.F.Y.; COMPLETELY AGREED!!!!!!
Saw this in 1975 they where great
as they say in Quebec...’ey, dat’s ’eavy man...
I love this song! I'd kill to get my hands on that beautiful, green P-bass
#STAMPEDERSROCK!!
The middle instrumental part reminds me of Budgie Squack era drugstore woman, stranded, etc.
Fantastic, extremely underrated song
I saw the Stampeders back in 1973 in Saskatoon. They were the first rock band concert I saw back then, with Abe Dyck..:-)
Awesome talented band!!
Underrated
Awesome song, love it I just finally played it.im 56 and I love it cool.
Still play this regularly on Q107 in Toronto.
Lolz. Albertan here. In Toronto today. Just heard this on Q107. That’s why I’m here. 🤣
@@rickclarke9085 Me too! :D
i havent heard this for so long......... wow
Listen to that guitar solo lol. Just bustin your balls guys. I actually had the 45 vinyl of this.
Love my Canadian music.
I just saw them in concert in Nanaimo and wow was he great on guitar!!!
I love those guitars that are... like... double guitars.
A six and twelve string sharing the same body.
Heavy beast. Hard on the shoulders after a while...
Devil to tune also
My name is Otto! I lovvvvvveeee! To get blauto!
I think this song's just awesome
Luv luv luv ..This !!!!!!!!!
Drummer-singer is always something. People say it is difficult but like Levon Helm said you can lean on some of the principal beats. Thanks for uploading! Such an underrated band but so good.
+Olli Lehtonen Don Henley once said that being a singing drummer helped him learn how to get out of his own way.
+Olli Lehtonen underrated? Guess you had to be there...
I do not quite follow you. Stampeders ain't certainly CCR and a quite unknown band. Or in Finland anyway.
russallert Yes indeed! Sometimes drummers become singers by accident like me did. Though I admired Helm, Henley and others.
+Olli Lehtonen Something this evening triggered me to listen to this song. This is some of the best rock that Canada produced in the early 1970s. The Stampeders are part of the best of the "Western Canadian rock" sound, much like The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive. You can probably see that I am also Finnish-Canadian by my name...
they sure got the most out of 3 band members
well yes and then there's those three old boys from Texas ~GRiN~
@@omarzewddie8777 OH, yeah!
" Ok there's only 3 of us so I'll sing and play drums and you can play two guitars at once"
@@PFPTHEGREATEST lolz☺
i saw these guys in corwall ontario when they where just starting out wow !!!
first time hearing this....tres bien, messieurs, tres bien!
Play this on any radio station now, It'll have a billion views.
Holy fuk what a great song! !
This band played my Highschool in the 70's also Rush played there and I de jayed there to a packed auditorium
This is Soooooo Cool! Awesome!
Saw them last nite here in Alberta. They sounded like they were going for a new world record for joking about their ages!
I always liked this song. It still rocks. And somewhat progressive for the time.
SPOT-ON, Danny B.; SPOT-ON U R!!!!!!
If you haven’t already listen to Wild Eyes give it a listen
First time hearing this, thanks UA-cam !!
just saw them last night in concert it rocked
They were so excellent, his voice is a little deeper, but so very awesome, I saw them in Nanaimo, too....so talented!!
Kim Berly was one of my best friends. He died after falling out of a window at a booze can. RIP
70's DUDE!!!
KILLER JAM!!!!! U MUST GIVE RESPECT 2 CANADA!!!!! ESPECIALLY THE STAMPEDERS!!!!!
1:38 took me by surprise and kicks fucking ass!
Canadian and Awsome!!!
Love this version!
This is a bad ass rock song.
WTF? So, I am listening to my huge folder of 70s radio hits and Sweet City Woman comes on, and I realize I never really knew who did that tune.

Well done for looking and finding old Canadian Rock!!
very good.........................................................
dude... this is sooo good \m/
Saw the in Nanaimo bc fantastic would go again
They were here in Nanaimo on June 30.2022, fantastic musicians and all members are great vocalists, the drum solo was awesome and his voice so powerful!!!
Canadian rock culture. Juno 1971
Believe it or not, I saw them playing in a SEARS department store at the Westgate Plaza on Carling Ave, Ottawa, 1971. They were so loud, nobody was watching. I do NOT know why they were playing there. I was about 9 or 10... weird.
I'm a Canadian... I've Covered this ...Just an Awesome Tune !!!!
Tout a fait de ton avis.
Like that Alberta band
Realizing that although they are considered an Alberta Band
They are a great band. Still have it going on.
I'm BC born and bred and was age 8 to 11 at their peak, and i always said they were CALGARY Stampeder's, i deal with reality and the reality is they are AB or ALT take your pick.
o yes
The first double neck i ever saw, caused me to shiite my pants and soil my trousers all at the same time. Never seen that before.
This vibe literally reincarnated into Jack White and The White Stripes... it's quite jaw dropping once you realize that.
They played at my school
This whole album New Day was great
SHIT THIS STILL FUCKING PUNISHING AFTER ALL THESE YRS
