Love, love, LOVE this song's fusion of jazz and light rock!! Put it on "repeat" and listen all day! Randy, you are a genius.

[@sammydavissenior7446]

Just love to see Randy smiling as the camera records.

[@danieldesjardins6615]

That very same Gretsch guitar was stolen from him in a Toronto hotel room in 1976...and he just found it this year 45 years later in Tokyo Japan! Amazing!

[@rlpd5218]

I don't think you found it somebody found it for him and called him and gave it to him

That's Canadian jazz beautiful music that didn't get enough air time

[@spawn4582]

This is a mixture of jazz, funk and rock, and the ending looks like progressive jazz-rock, I liked it, now there is practically no such music, in 1975 the guys wrote this masterpiece, great!

[@johngore7744]

Randy’s a great guitarist. I’m 63 and grew up with this but until I had more knowledge of music I didn’t really appreciate how amazing he was/is. Cheers from Montreal

Randy Bachman is a guitar legend. Plays jazz soul & rock & roll. What a gem from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada

Randy is criminally underrated imo. He plays so many amazing solos and just creates generally great songs and does not get the respect he should.

Found this on a cassette tape of BTO's greatest hits along with Blue Collar Man. Someone below called this fusion of Jazz and light rock. I think of it better as a fusion of rock and blues. Both two of the best tunes BTO ever came up with.

[@tuckercfoxito9866]

Encapsulated the selfish 70s. Still beautiful

[@144wychwood]

Great lyrics! masterful jazz guitar playing. I FUCKING love this song! Takes me back to mid 70s when I was just 11 year old punk without care in the world.

[@johnmckenzie4639]

This and Blue Collar are my favourite BTO songs. Randy is really using the skills he picked up from fellow Winnipeg guitar legend Lenny Breau.

[@LastTrainToClarkson]

[@kentlewis987]

Randy said that all the songs he writes begin jazzy and he rocks them up to fit whatever band he’s in at the time. Taken in that context, songs like this seem even more apropos.

[@wallyklw5]

This is probably one of the first "unplugged-esque" videos ever, although the are not acoustic. Just fabulous. Sure miss them. Egos will always destroy.

Excellent song and video !!! I'm glad Randy Bachman got his original guitar back after it was stolen long long ago - after all these years , how did it end up in Japan ? Nice of the people to locate it for Randy , and nice of Randy to make a trade for the original. Good stuff !!! Happy 155th. Birthday Canada !!!

[@RonanDahlman-ci1ql]

Late, but I think it’s because BTO was playing a show in Japan.

[@uncleelmer]

The record company probably was bummed hearing this song because while it is quite good it is really Randy Bachman solo stuff. BTO has that hard edged sound and jazz is not a good fit. Again, fine song but not BTO and it appears Randy having gotten his revenge with BTO's success against Burton Cummings & Guess Who got bored and did jazz with BTO.
