Canadian bands of the late 60s and early 70's mastered the art of jazz rock. BST is another one, that rivals Chicago,one of the greatest American bands of all time.
Killer song still. I have tickets to see them here in Wpg. this fall.I hope Hoffert and Cole are still playing.Too bad Skip is gone.I have seen him with the band 3 times.STILL GREAT
So. To complete what I previously wrote. And this is a true story. Bear with me, this'll make sense. Go back to 1979. I'm 13. My grandmother died. My grandad sold his house and gave half to my day and his brother. So dad bought an old house with a granny annex and I had the third floor to myself. There was a small double door to the attic. There was also a hidden room which I found after a couple of years (really well hidden, but just taking us to the very front of the house, nothing extraordinary). Inside the "hidden room" I found a cassette. There was nothing written on the tape. I must have listened to this cassette for 2-3 years absolutely blown away by the music. Didn't know who the group was. Then I lost the tape! The only words I remembered from any of the songs were "I'm telling you what I see..." and "One fine morning, and I'll wake up". Years passed and the internet arrived. I looked, but to no avail. Years passed. I looked. To no avail. Then. About six years ago, I searched once again (a habit I had learned) and found a Lighthouse video!!!! I cried. I had found whaat was missing. I went to see my dad to tell him the story. He said that he had bought the house from an airline pilote that used to go back and forth from the UK to Canada (I'm from the UK). So for him it was clear that the airline pilote had a boot leg tape, that I found aged 13, that subsequently became a quest to find the group. A 13 year old boy. A blank cassette. Half of a song in mind. No clue at all. But, where there is a will........there is a way!
Wow! Just as good as the original release from 40 yrs ago … Thanks Guys! Many happy memories listening to this song. I was making a salad and the original song just popped into my head. Asked Alexa to find it ... which she did. Then followed-up to see if I could find you playing it live.
Agreed. Hard shoes to fill. There really is nobody that can replace Bob McBride's Amazing Lead Vocal performance on this song. He sang this song like he owned it!

First heard this song in 74...loved it since!!
Great song and very good performance. I take nothing away from this. However, nobody sings this song like Bob McBride. He was the Best! Cheers!
One of the greatest horn tunes ever written/ it's about optimism, loving, and enjoying life !!!###
I've always loved Lighthouse, they were y go to band, saw them every chance I got
Still love them
Just as good as it was 48 years ago!
exactly my friend
Man o man !!! JUST AS GOOD !!!
Loved this song. Always thought they would give Chicago/Blood, Sweat & Tears a run for one of the better horn bands. Thanks for posting.
Man, every time I need a lift,LIGHTHOUSE has me dancin' and skipping around the room !! The guys rocked back then and STILL do !!!!
Killer song still. I have tickets to see them here in Wpg. this fall.I hope Hoffert and Cole are still playing.Too bad Skip is gone.I have seen him with the band 3 times.STILL GREAT
This song was popular when I was in high school and it positively kicks THE SHIT out of any of today's music.
I've always loved this song! I still love it!!!
a song in the style like that never die for sure....it's like some of Chicago or Blood sweat and tears....
Got this album at Warehouse records in westwood, L A . just after I was discharged , not a care in the world. Perfect for the time.

It's always so satisfying if you can "connect the dots" to a mystery from your chilhood....!
Remember Bob McBride ????? I DO!!!!!
yes and Skip Prokop RIP bro... such a loss!
Sure i do. I was lucky enough to see him live at Ontario Place. Nobody sings this song like Bob McBride!
What a great band and awesome song.
Such a great song!!!
What a treat! I have this 45. Why aren't oldies stations playing this all the time?
Because most oldies stations are playing '90's music as oldies now, that's why.
Too white.
They still got it!
Just watched a 1971 live version of this. This is weird to watch. No weirder than looking in a mirror I guess. Great song then and still great.
yes they are always hot, this singer is with the band for minimum 20 years....
fantastic
They sure can hold a note!
Reminds me of when I wore young man's clothes and sported my long hair!!!
I remember the first time I heard it, I was at hike for hope in rochester, early 70's and lighthouse played, they opened with this!
Always loved this song. So sad Paul and Ralph are without Skip and Bob...

here's another version in the old times : ua-cam.com/video/8Qfyz4WjGMI/v-deo.html
Still sounds great
Super fantastic!!!!!!!
I was a Senior in High School.
I can't believe that I cannot find a really good remaster of this song. This begs for someone to take the original tapes and remaster it.
Try Leonid and friends version ..it’s poppin
Love!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys!!

Reminds me of the Big 8
Are these guys the original members?
👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍
Good but not nearly as good as Bob McBride
