Fred Turner...most underrated vocals

Last time I seen them he had a beard lost some weight they are incredible

[@dirtshredder8737]

Yeah he is fantastic.

[@johntilson2535]

Nailing it 35 years after this tunes release.

[@Tseemo]

OMFG, I didn't believe this is Fred Turner... until he started to sing! He still has the same old melodic raw power in his voice. This is so damn good, I got tears in my eyes. And It makes me feel like I am 15 again. Thank you guys!

[@defh2o]

couldn't have said it better!

[@claytonphelps9911]

[@Venomonomonom]

Fred Turner is now 80 years old in 2024

[@josephhymel8075]

Probably the best driving song EVER!!!

[@garysnow1475]

Oh hell yes! Crank that f***** up going up Pacific Coast highway!

[@jimreed2138]

That and Radar Love

[@jimferguson3863]

I'm almost 70 and these two are bringing back memories. Randy and Fred can still rock!

[@izzy2112]

ladies and gentlemen....this is what rock n roll is

[@UttaraMimamsa]

I find it almost incredible that Fred still has the same amazing power in his voice!

[@samuelw3295]

Wow, Fred Turner can still belt it out 40 years later!! Way to go guys!

[@angiebranstetter6017]

You got that right.....Turner makes BTO.

[@ROADWARRIORMUSTANG]

LET IT ROLL

[@dbennett8067]

Roger that, but don't forget Randy's guitar skills.

[@jamescourier1545]

FIFTY years later! 👍👍🤩

[@jamescourier1545]

Fred has the same voice as he did in the Brave Belt days. Unbelievable! 👍👍

[@rks4011]

Gravel truck voice indeed. Turner can still deliver it! This feels so good.... thank you for posting --and thank you Randy Bachman and Fred Turner! I can't stop smiling...

[@nancymarafioti5856]

I'm smiling , too. Fabulous music and vocals. I am 17 again and 70 at the same time. Oh. I miss the 70's. A lot.

[@mrsgstd]

Wow, Turner's voice has really held up well! For a guy almost 70 he can still belt it out like he was in his 20s.

[@donmotz5528]

Bloody awesome still...way to go guys.....

[@deborahhewitt6101]

Have always loved BTO, this is my favorite

[@23x31]

An extremely underrated classic rock band of the 70's.

[@Mike-mw7nl]

+Steve Roginski You got that right Steve.....

[@lesbrown7009]

+Steve Roginski Underrated by whom?They were the biggest band in the WORLD in 1975.Randy Bachman is considered one of the greatest musicians in modern rock history by a swampload of his peers.I don't think you could name a band on earth that hasn't heard this music.

[@matttrantham4418]

They were AWESOME, but Steve is right, 75 was my time, BTO was again, in my mind, awesome, but not considered one of the best for some stupid reason...maybe not enough exposure,,,and,,,those years? My God we had some good bands,,,Now we have Kanye! barf

[@lawlisrn]

Agreed!

[@MEDINAHSHRINER]

LOL where were you in the 70s under a Toad Stool? With some rooomushooroms

[@42PEACEful]

BTO will always be one of the best bands of all time in my my book

[@donnakreischer2243]

Me too! Highly underrated!

[@davidiverson2541]

Great band. They really rock.

[@a68187]

Let it roll!!!!

[@felixquintanilla4726]

Holy moly I forgot about this song its been a gazillion years since I heard this one

[@fridgeratorsam4042]

Randy Bachman is probably the most underrated guitarist on the North American continent. His power cords and riffs are pure rock and roll at its finest; second to none in that genre. Not to mention his incredible songwriting skills. Amazing talent. Still waiting for someone to post a live version of Stonegates.

[@jenlarge9036]

Yep, whoever is playing lead in this song should be in the top ten of lead guitarist rifts.

[@joebagodonuts8119]

And Fred Turner is the most underrated vocalist.

[@out4lox262]

amen

[@pipesmcgee9270]

So great to hear this again!

[@drumhd1]

Fred Turner’s voice is killer!

[@stockss22]

and FRED Turner is 67 years old. born in 1943. Icons, true legends.

[@fmagalhaes1521]

You're not lying... Fred and Randy can still "bring it".....

[@carguy99]

Saw BTO live in 1976. Still awesome.

[@fritzzapatak318]

Oh Man! This wonderful guy has still the fucking rocking voice I cannot believe it!! Let it Roll!!!

[@benjaminmellette2474]

For a couple of Grand Pa's they can still rock the house, song of my youth. You see I'm a Grand Pa my damn self 😂

[@ryecreeks]

Same 👍😆

[@Bluestard]

Good stuff from the 70s. They still got it. That voice is unforgettable. Let it roll men.

[@SIXSTRING63]

These two crusty old bastards can still rock. I grew up with these guys and it makes me smile to hear them still kicking the shit out of it.

[@lgcrooks]

Holy Cow!! These old guys look like they are having a ball! And they can still get the job done!!

[@strat9man]

25 years ago I bought my first BTO album, Not Fragile...to this day one of the best in my book. Still rocking it after all these years, they are one of the reasons I picked up the guitar and learned to play. Mr Bachman, Mr Turner..I salute you both, thanks for the great music !

[@obbor4]

Gotta love Randy Bachman. That guy has always known how to rock!

[@magnus9165]

Tears and gooseflesh. Love it.

[@metalbob3335]

The Northern Bros that kicked down the door to give us our tunes , thank you guys it gave me an entire life up to now of good times. That's what I call my soundtrack of life.

[@DS-bi3fz]

Fred Turner still kicking ass ! Underrated singer !

[@randallfrank5682]

Bachman Turner Overdrive, what a great name for a hard rocking band!!!!

[@daniellaubach7544]

The overdrive that came after bachman/turner came from a trucking industry magazine OVERDRIVE.

[@Mark-yj2nh]

Not Fragile indeed

[@LastOfTheMaguas]

Great Canadian rockers, this was one of the coolest tunes of the time. Much love and respect from the US.

[@jimpatriot6918]

Fantastic! When you got it, you got it . Miss those days 😭 January 1975

[@bulkmailbullseye70]

Besides Fred’s vocals what makes this extra special is their choice to play it mirror exact to the 45 single, especially Randy’s solo

[@williamcooper5009]

To me, it was always a song about life, not just trucks and highways. They nailed it. Long live BTO. RIP Robbie. You’ll be missed. “The time’s real short, you know the distance is long.”

[@dlagrua]

I just saw something amazing, 50 years later they still sound great.

[@57Jimmy]

You should see the yout’s today when I drive down the street with my doors vibrating with this song playing and Randy Bachmans solo blasting through me! I’m 64, and I feel this music just like it did when I was a teenager and pounding on my drum set in the basement over and over and over!🥰

[@peterblack3665]

Hearings gone anyways just vibrate the doors off that there sedan....

Nice black coffee drinking morning get up and enjoy the day music! Thanks for sharing. ~

[@georgeg7714]

Love this time of music. It wasn't about who could shred or play the fastest. It was about purity, timing and the clean notes. True vocal clarity was also key.

[@joshfifer6553]

One of the best bar songs ever.

[@glen6945]

true

[@jackw220862]

Unbelievably brilliant!

Chicago Illinois, 17 years old listening to this on WLS AM The Big 89. Couldn't drive then but I was rollin' down the highway on my bike listening to this.

[@anakina1]

You would not give these guys a second look in Home Depot, not knowing they were the same guys kicking some serious ass up there and having fun doing it.

[@allanbarsness6076]

Is this in Winnipeg Home Depot,that happend

[@donalinn5871]

Love this song! Used it for my 35 years doing Agency Jobs, to give me strength/moral to complete my journeys on thousands of Highways!

[@triathletetom3873]

Just a great song, with incredible NRG. The powerful bar-room voice of CF Turner. Then that great solo by Randy Bachman. Just flowing powerful NRG. Good party song!!!

[@DaveBrownBrutus]

My tastes have definitely evolved since this was a hit and I was eating it for breakfast. But what a treat to hear it again. And these old boys can still really nail it. Impressive.

[@dougat]

Randy and Fred look better than ever, are playing better than ever and I never thought I would see this happen! But it has and it's a hugely better world because of it! Rolling along Rolling along!

this right here, b.t.o. these guys will never fade or go out of style. long after they are gone, their music will continue to find new listeners. this is real talent that will stand the test of time. decades from now, most will not remember the teenybopper boy bands, but B.T.O. will be well known & referenced frequently.

[@gregwain]

Gives me goosebumps hearing them sound so great!

[@JeffLynnesELO2024Tour]

Randy Bachman is one of the greatest guitarist.

[@wayneerunski2239]

Another great band from the 70's who were way under rated,still have their albums.

[@out4lox262]

oh god, yes. i don't think they were greatest of all time, but definitely the most underrated ever. pretenders too.

[@bobm549]

Bachman Turner played on the riverfront here in Alton,Ill around 2000 and it was incredible. They rocked the river !

[@Fuzzydog57]

Randy Bachman= two great Bands BTO and The Guess Who, those who grew up at that time were so Lucky!

[@NotUrBiz]

+Fuzzydog57 Born in 57. These guys were huges when I was a teen.

[@michaelchester6807]

Your so right my teen years were filled with live shows as BTO RULED The AIR WAVES ALONG

[@geraldobrien7323]

Kids can still listen to them today, and they do.

[@Myrrydyn]

I saw the Guess Who at the amphitheatre at St.Clair College in Windsor in 1971, GREAT SHOW

[@cindycrenshaw-martin9849]

I'm one who grew up then! So glad I did!

[@edbertrand8887]

I remember when my brother came home and told me hé had hear a great song on the radio from a band called BTO(bachman turner overdrive). Later that week i went to the recordshop and buy the 'four wheel get drive' album. I turned it almost every day. And today at 2024 i still listening

[@forthefunofit5487]

love these guys!!

[@bumbleandprincess]

This is rock and roll at its best. BTO the ultimate band and nothing better to listen to when driving down the road!!!!!! Rock on Canadian masters.......from all of your fans in New Zealand......Never to be forgotten!!!!! Big Jim New Zealand!!!

[@wotrutseg]

You sure right about that. The whole album was good wasn’t it.

[@issac6312]

Whoever took this video did an excellent job and has an excellent camera.

[@MrJohn49g]

Always play this song when I start a long trip, Played it going to Oakland looked down at the speedometer after the song and I was doing 90!. Why aren't these guys in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet?

[@williamsherman2374]

One thing about the Rock and Roll hall of fame I ve noticed, it has very little to do with real Rock and Roll.

[@VortecCyclone]

I don't take it for granted...this old Detroit boy has fond memories of Bradors and the "ballet" in Windsor. It really is still "pax Britanica" - Cannucks, Aussies, Brits and Yanks are the greatest force for good in the history of mankind.

[@dasteelerfan1]

These guys are legendary for me went to many shows and these guys are ultra fabulous players

[@Jeff-rh8mq]

one of my favourite songs ever!!!

[@stephenk54]

Greatest road trip song ever......when I was in college in the late 70's my buddies and I ALWAYS had this on when heading out somewhere!

[@hansvonschlader8227]

I met Randy Bachman on Salt Spring Island in B.C. at a Garage sale of all places. Very cool
