Randy Bachman wrote this song about Burton Cummings after they split up from the Guess Who. Fortunately they have made up over the years and toured together again, they both belong in the RRHOF
..."Class of 76"...Many bands have great songs BUT...grab a BTO album, 8-track, cassette or CD and it rocks through the whole list of songs...One of my top 5 all time favorite bands...Thanks for playing them again!
@@screwyou341 Yeah, four decades ago. I had an Audiovox under-the-dash 8-track player in my '70 Beetle which came with a pair of crappy 4" coaxial speakers with paper woofers.....such high-fidelity...LOL!
Excellent…..BTO’s biggest song - that to this day would get people up out of their chairs dancing around the Globe - is Takin’ Care of Business … You must hit that one someday
@@bloppysloppy4057 Wow, didn't here that one. Randy was the oldest of those three. He must be devastated to have lost two younger brothers 4 month apart.
Randy Bachman was originally with The Guess Who. They also have: Roll On Down The Highway Not Fragile Sledgehammer Rock Is My Life, And This Is My Song
I wish I could find Randy's story behind this song. I believe Gordon wanted to leave Guess Who because they were too straight arrow. This song was kinda a see ? I told ya to Gordon Cummings
Another Canadina group that still awaits your ears: Lighthouse. THey had a few hits like "One Fine Morning," "Pretty Lady" and others. Amber should be especially interested because HORNS were a key part of their music.
"Not Fragile" and "Four Wheel Drive" are a couple BTO rockers I recommend. If you haven't done "Takin' Care of Business" "Roll on Down The Highway" and "Gimme Your Money Please" you should do those next.
Bachman used to play guitar in The Guess Who, he left and started his own band…Bachman, Turner, Overdrive. He stutters in his song “ Ain’t Got Nothing Yet. “ 👏👏👏 🩵🩵
This is Randy Bachman's middle finger to Burton Cummings. They have had a volatile relationship over the years to say the very least. Hate, make up and work together, hate again, make up.... When they perform together, Burton introduces this as" the song Randy wrote when he hated me" Check out Lookin' Out For Number One.
Oh kids, this is no where near the "Hardest" BTO, but really one of their Pop/Rock numbers. Top 5 Heaviest Rockers would be 1) Not Fragile, 2) Sledgehammer, 3) Four Wheel Drive, 4) Second Hand (more cowbell lol, 5) Don't Get Yourself In Trouble. Many more and on some days the bottom couple could be replaced by others so, everyone has their favorites right.
This is my Favorite BTO song. The Cord progression is HOT 🔥🔥 It was written by Randy Bachman ABOUT his Guess Who mate Burton Cummings BECAUSE They started having disputes on the direction of the Band/Songs/Writing. THANK YOU for doing this one !
Let it Ride! There is another band, "Nantucket", who put out some great music about this same time. They are hard to pigeon hole, but a little BTO, a bit of 38 Special, a smidgen of REO Speedwagon & sprinkling of Mountain. Their biggest hit was "Heartbreaker"! Followed by "Gimme your Love", "Tennessee Whiskey ", "She's no Good", and "Girl you Blew a Good Thing".
For the heavy side of them listen to Not Fragile, Sledgehammer, Second Hand of Four Wheel Drive. The song Hey You came out in 1975 on the Four Wheel Drive album. I love the fact you dig this fantastic band. The leader is Randy Bachman fron The Guess Who. This album was their fourth one
The drummer is the singer's brother. BTO has two Bachmans and one Turner. I checked, and there's three Bachmans. I thought there was just two. Poor Fred😁
*Funny Randy Bachman* story - Randy called into our Vancouver Rock Radio Station but was put on-hold for over 25 minutes. The 20 year-old receptionist had no idea who *BTO or The Guess Who* were.
"Not Fragile" was a great album, too. I still have my ticket stub for their concert in Omaha in 74(?), Styx was the warm-up band. WHAT A SHOW! Styx did 'Lady' and 'Lorelei'.
The song starts out sounding like Chicago's "Beginnings", then when the lyrics begin it sounds like BTO's "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet", then it goes on to become its own song.
I come from an international family on both sides. My mom's paternal grandpa was a Canadian rifleman killed in France when he took a machine gun bullet in the shoulder and died from septic shock three days later during WW1 because they didn't have antibiotics back then. My Irish immigrants on Dad's side landed in Canada in the late 1840s to escape famine thanks to bad weather and worse politics in Europe. Canada's got some excellent musicians. Buffy Sainte-Marie is my favorite Canadian female vocalist with the distinction of being the first musician to record a vocal album in surround sound. You need to put her at the top of your list for Female Friday.
Just been learning about this band, from the professor of music on UA-cam. He gives the stories behind the songs, and this band is great, and rad. Good driving music, yes they used the cow bell a lot through the 70's! A lot! 😂
For Randy Baughman fans listen to "Sweet Lu-luise" from Ironhorse which was Randy's next band. It was a minor hit and riffs on the stuttering of "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet".
BTO, like many bands had their own signature sound but finding something that was out of their usual was hard to find. "Stone Gates" is one of those tunes.
So many good BTO songs. "Let It Ride" and "Takin Care of Business" are classics. "Second Hand" is a real rocker - check out the guitar riff in that one!
For some reason, the first BTO album tends to get overlooked. If you haven't already done so, please check out GIMME YOUR MONEY PLEASE, BLUE COLLAR, STAYED AWAKE ALL NIGHT and DON'T GET YOURSELF IN TROUBLE.
Excellent choice!!! They are my favourite Canadian band. Listen to the title track of that album. FOUR WHEEL DRIVE! 1975 was when this came out. Keep it comingcyou two! I'm loving your reactions! ❤❤👍👍🤘🤘
Thanks guys for bringing back a Canadian Icon band. Please check out the Roseland Ballroom version of "Not Fragile"... a slower, heavier Rock sound... and Turner's voice! A Bass riff you will remember forever! Also, do "Four Wheel Drive" and "Let It Ride". You guys rock😎😎✌✌
You guys are so cool and you play the most awesome tunes ever. I watch your channel all the time. I just love it. I love your reactions. It’s great watching you guys hearing something for the first time that I grew up on. I just wanted to tell you that y’all are simply the coolest and the tunes you play are the coolest to. Can I suggest something for you to play.?I think y’all will like it. The name of the song is Green Grass and High Tides and the band is the Outlaws. This song is one of my faves. Thank you so much, I really do appreciate it guys !!!😊🇺🇸💜🤟🗽
Heavy influence musically listening to this band never seen them unfortunately but if you have not heard or reacted to the song.. four-wheel drive. Please do.💓🎶🍻🇨🇦

There's a great video of them performing the song together. ua-cam.com/video/mciFoeRW86s/v-deo.html
Especially when you consider the very marginal acts that are in there, and singers who weren't even Rock and Roll.
"rrhof" is a joke
So true
Along with Fleetwood Mac and ELO, Bachman Turner Overdrive was one of my favorite bands from the 70s. This song was released in 1975.
Thanks for mentioning ELO. They were my favorite band in high school. 😊 👍
@@oldiesgeek454 Anytime!
@@MarkWYoung-ky4uc 😊👍
Great song! But my favorite BTO is "Roll On Down The Highway".
Great song. Mine is “taking care of business” it was my walk up song coming up to bat. 😁
They have done "Roll On Down The Highway" already.
@@rmacdougallaliasdogviticusAwesome. I may have to look it up.
They LOVED "roll on down ..."
Agreed 👍. Fred Turner with that growly voice, and one hell of a bass player

An 8track....that was long ago
I love BTO, such a criminally underrated band. Their career ended much too soon.
underrated is so overused...
I don't care. It applies. BTO are underrated.@@sunnystormy4973

'Sunny Days' & 'Hats Off To The Stranger' 2 more awesome "Lighthouse" tunes.
Thumbs up for Hats Off To the Stranger, such a great song. @@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus
"One Fine Morning" is a masterpiece. "Sunny Day" awesome feel good song.
I keep requesting Lighthouse. Hopefully coming soon
If you want a Canadian band with amazing horns, you gotta listen to the Planet Smashers!!!
In my opinion "Let it Ride" is definitely their hardest rock song. Fred Turner soars into the stratosphere at the end of this song!
Or Four wheel drive 🤘
Not Fragile is definitely their heaviest hitter.
Sledgehammer!
4WR its the most hardest hard rock. Far away!!
@@sergiomattos109 absolutely that bass is pounding.
"Not Fragile" and "Four Wheel Drive" are a couple BTO rockers I recommend. If you haven't done "Takin' Care of Business" "Roll on Down The Highway" and "Gimme Your Money Please" you should do those next.
This is one of my three favorites from BTO. The other two are roll on down the highway, and taking care of business
Love this band!
Love your channel, love what you 2 bring everytime ! My all time favorite BTO song is " Not Fragile" it is pretty hard !😂
“Roll On Down The Highway” is the heaviest rocker
You HAVE to play Takin' Care of Business! Killer riffs!-
And then Randy Bachman’s “Takin’ Care of Christmas” 🎄
Bachman used to play guitar in The Guess Who, he left and started his own band…Bachman, Turner, Overdrive. He stutters in his song “ Ain’t Got Nothing Yet. “ 👏👏👏 🩵🩵
They did that one.
Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet
Ain’t seen Nothing Yet! “
I read somewhere That their song, "Takin Care of Business" was one of Elvis' favourite songs.

My fave.....hold back the water
There most rockin' song is "Stayed Awake All Night"
BTO was my first concert nearly 50 years ago in San Antonio. Loved it.
The drummer is the singer's brother. BTO has two Bachmans and one Turner.
I checked, and there's three Bachmans. I thought there was just two. Poor Fred😁
" Down Down" is another great BTO song!
BTO, great party music. Play their tunes at your next outdoor barbecue. (Don't forget to bring a cowbell and one drum stick!). 🙂
I was 18 in 1975 , when this song came out . Rock-on .
You all need to play "Taking Care of Business" it's one of their best songs
Blue Collar is a surprise. Very subtle in comparison. Work of art.
This is what BTO , was having 2 years hit with in the 70s . Yes and a couple of others . On radio all day for 2 years
This is from 1975. BTO formed in 1973. It was 3 Bachman brothers Randy (formerly of The Guess Who), Robbie and Tim and their friend Fred Turner.
*Funny Randy Bachman* story - Randy called into our Vancouver Rock Radio Station but was put on-hold for over 25 minutes. The 20 year-old receptionist had no idea who *BTO or The Guess Who* were.
My all time BTO favorite i Hold Back The Water. Great guitar solo! Jay would really appreciate this!
You HAVE to try BTO's "Let it Ride" "Takin' Care of Business" and "Roll On Down The Highway".
The heaviest BTO song is "Sledgehammer". That is a real jam.
Friday is coming Melanie Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) Netherlands. You will so love this song
YES! Especially the live TV performance from Denmark. Totally hippie vibe!
The songs “Hold Back the Water,” “Gimmee Your Money Please ,” and “Blue Collar “ from their debut album are awesome too!
Definitely gotta hit "Let It Ride". There is no way to listen to it too loud!
This came out in 1975, a few years into their run.
"TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS'
"ROLLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY"
"Not Fragile" was a great album, too.
I still have my ticket stub for their concert in Omaha in 74(?), Styx was the warm-up band. WHAT A SHOW! Styx did 'Lady' and 'Lorelei'.
Randy Bachman can't get all the love, lol. Time for some Burton Cummings. Maybe "Stand Tall"?
True it is Bachman TURNER overdrive.
The song starts out sounding like Chicago's "Beginnings", then when the lyrics begin it sounds like BTO's "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet", then it goes on to become its own song.
Takin' Care Of Business is their biggest hit. Let It Ride is another.

We were rockin to BTO in the late 70s. 😎
I believe this was Randy Bachman taking a shot at Burton Cummings
Just been learning about this band, from the professor of music on UA-cam.
He gives the stories behind the songs, and this band is great, and rad.
Good driving music, yes they used the cow bell a lot through the 70's! A lot! 😂
BTO was one of my favorites growing up in the '70's.
Wow! I'm surprised they haven't done "Takin’ Care Of Business " yet. Please react.
For Randy Baughman fans listen to "Sweet Lu-luise" from Ironhorse which was Randy's next band. It was a minor hit and riffs on the stuttering of "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet".
I bought the album, I think they just had the one? 'What's Your Hurry Darlin' and 'Symphony (When the Symphony is Over)' were 2 off of it.
Baughman? Are you stuttering too? LOL
"Let It Ride " ROCKS
Probably the first song I played on my brand new bass when I brought it home at 14 years old, my birhday present that year
They have a great instrumental called Free Wheelin'. You would love it! I still have their album Not Fragile! One of my favorite albums!
Let it Ride by BTO, you guys will love that one!
BTO, like many bands had their own signature sound but finding something that was out of their usual was hard to find. "Stone Gates" is one of those tunes.
Let It Ride is a great BTO song you will love 🔥
Been too long since I've heard any BTO!!! Love It... Great Reaction, You Guys! :) More Please!
Glad you’re listening to their old stuff. ❤
The 70s were so great....
The music was awesome and still is
From their Not Fragile album from 1974 are also Not Fragile, Rock Is My Life And This Is My Song and Sledgehammer
The title track “Not Fragile” from the all-time outstanding album “Not Fragile” is an underrated heavy hitter. Please listen to
Dave Clark 5 " over and over" 60 rock and roll and telling you a story of I said over and over again this dance is going be a square!
In 1972, BTO unseated Grand Funk Railroad as the number #1 concert touring band in the USA, a distinction GFR held in 1969, 70, & 71.
I’m glad you got back to BTO!! 😊
LET IT RIDE 🔥🔥🔥

You do know that Randy Bachman started with The Guess Who and was on American Woman with Burton Cummings.
Hold Back The Water. Great song, possibly my BTO favorite.
Great choice man
What a great suggestion…I’ve always loved this song…definitely in my top 5 BTO songs!
So many good BTO songs. "Let It Ride" and "Takin Care of Business" are classics. "Second Hand" is a real rocker - check out the guitar riff in that one!
Again the first concert I went to. BTO 1976
Let It Ride is my favourite BTO song.
If you want to hear a totally different side to BTO do Blue Collar. It's bluesy and jazzy.
BTO - Talkin care of Business is a must!!!!!!!
I love this Randy Bachman FU to former Guess Who band mate Burton Cummings. Great tune and, he wasn't wrong.
This was their last major U.S. hit in the late spring of 1975.
I love the bluesy kind of song like blue-collar that was a great song…
I can almost hear some influence on Green Day in this although this was several years before.
For some reason, the first BTO album tends to get overlooked. If you haven't already done so, please check out GIMME YOUR MONEY PLEASE, BLUE COLLAR, STAYED AWAKE ALL NIGHT and DON'T GET YOURSELF IN TROUBLE.
So many good ones from BTO. I would like to request "Gimme Your Money, Please." Great Canadian music.

Never heard this song but quickly noticed how close this song sounds to You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet 😂
Good song! “Let it Ride” and “Roll on Down the Highway” are harder pace (watch your accelerator if you’re driving while listening!).
BTO, a high school staple back in the 70’s

BTO, Rush, and Triumph! Doesn't get any Better! Merry Xmas!
Haven't heard this song forever. A seventies teen.
