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! 👏👏

Agree

[@razzyjr12345]

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

[@geraldspencer1956]

No autotune or any technological bs. Just raw talent. Awesome performance!

[@randyrci]

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.

[@60sbaby456]

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

[@robertlong7033]

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.

[@cherylpopper7323]

You're damned right! I remember when this album released... Wow!

[@Allan-et5ig]

Yeah, it's fantastic song writing. I just learned the intro watching Randy's hands. Pure c-l-a-s-s.

Fred Turner is perhaps THE most underrated bassist of the 1970s. His singing is a bonus.

[@stevedion8031]

His voice stayed strong af

[@r.crompton2286]

Right here (in 2010) is arguably the best live bass line in rock history

I love C.F. Turner's vocals and bass playing.

[@remiremi3788]

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.

Fred Turner's voice is irreplaceable. You'll never find another human who could sing with that style. Cool.

Was a great song to begin with. They didnt change it so why would/should it change!?

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.

[@lucasmartins7688]

Yeah,he's great!!!!

[@GlowingBentley]

Still the caveman!

[@jaysmelkinson5577]

Killer vocals there absolutely spot on!!

[@rocketreindeer]

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'.

[@1988Goldwinger]

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!

[@deannachandler2301]

Good going!!

[@markdelcheccolo9191]

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 !!!!! 😎

Proud canadian band happy you saw them

[@paulya1269]

Wow pleasantly surprised Fred could still belt this one out. The grit and power of the vocal really makes the song.

[@nazmoking3171]

Between this band and the guess who, Randy Bachman has scored an impressive portfolio of music in his lifetime. Turner is great here also!

[@anthonydworak8127]

Fred Turner is a beast

Yep, he is. Much love

[@johanne628]

They had their share of crazy party's still going like this? Talent and love for rock and roll and love for their fans

[@davidjorgensen877]

What blows my mind is that that's the voice of large, barrel-chested man, which he was in the day when they recorded these tunes. But here he is in this concert, 40 years later and probably 40 pounds lighter (and healthier), yet still able to belt like a burly young buck. Beast, indeed!

[@SigMendelsson]

Such a voice. Powerful, pitch perfect, and so musical. Among the very best of all time. For sure the least lauded of the best of all time. And I know of NO singer who has lasted for so many decades with their voice seemingly intact - possibly BETTER than before.

[@kevincrush859]

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.

[@allanjcarpenter]

KILLER solo from Randy, and Fred sounds fierce!

[@myfavoritemartian1]

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.

[@danieljordan7194]

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.😤👍

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.

[@adampetten5349]

97%

[@davidcarter2720]

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.

[@fmonk3366]

@Gojo61 I

[@Ace96x10]

@@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 !!!

[@Howdy699]

Fred Turner’s voice is incredible. Such killer guitar riffs on this one too

[@jettechdonatkins]

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 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. 😱

[@robertpalumbo2814]

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.

[@bradyakubovic2550]

Everyone knows Randy is amazing, but man Fred is a wicked bass player too!...plus the voice!!

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!

[@livy1962]

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.

Appreciate your praise of thier music, but a friendly correction is in order: Neither one (let alone both) is a lumberjack.
