Nice reaction to one of Canada's greatest bands...they were the bomb and have a lot of great tunes.

[@jamesmccullough1395]

RIP Myles Goodwyn, you were the rock behind April Wine...godspeed fellow Canadian brother. You will be missed , but the music will go on.

[@andybroer651]

100%

[@michaelmacintyre9643]

In 2018, my 11 year son begged me to take him to see a band that formed in 1969. I took him to see April Wine, along with 1000’s of other screaming fans, and we were not disappointed. Myles Goodwin, the lead guitarist, was 70 at the time, never missed a beat. The band has a picture of the crowd, and I am so proud to show off my son, at 11, standing in the front row!

[@gypsyrain369]

That Is A GREAT MEMORY ❤

[@nosparex]

Another April Wine song you should check out is "I Like To Rock."

[@jeffmays7192]

Exactly! The way they string together satisfaction, day tripper backed by their rhythm rocks!

[@xbwryan]

Another April wine song to check out is ALL OF THEM

[@jamesc5535]

Yup, yup, yup, yup

[@daviddelaet8116]

I just watched the I like to rock video.

[@buzzbomb67]

Yes, and Oowatanite, Silver Dollar, Rock and Roll Is A Vicious Game, so many other great songs by them

[@johnszostowski767]

April Wine was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame during the 2010

[@descendantoffools9767]

They had a nice string of hits in the 70's and early 80's. Sign Of The Gypsy Queen, I Like To Rock and Enough Is Enough are just a few.

[@paulbramucci7586]

I agree, I like to rock, is best

[@GuinsWIN1]

If You See Kay do it with how how it sounds F U C K

[@2869may]

"All Over Town"

[@DavidCormier-er7em]

April Wine is amazing there's so many songs to check out. The greatest thing about them is they have three guitars and a bass player. That's why their guitar Harmony are so amazing. Great show I really enjoyed it thanks

[@JB-xh5mc]

They had nowhere to hide in the 70's no frills. All killer no filler.

[@joebrown5120]

Who can hide when your shirt doesn’t have any buttons?

[@dannybreese237]

The entire Nature of the Beast album is a masterpiece.

[@jonlate4581]

As is First Glance and Harder, Faster.👍

[@MacTeee]

Don't forget "Stand Back"...monster album

[@SWTSU]

God I haven’t heard April Wine in 35 years. Thank you so much says Austin Tx!!!!😍😍😍🤩🍸

[@johnboydTx]

Reminds me of the Texas Jam day's... 🤠 🍻🍻✌ God bless Texas

[@SWTSU]

@@johnboydTx Those were great times!!!😍😍😍😎

[@johnboydTx]

@@SWTSU yes indeed.. SRV with ZZ top at the cotton bowl 🤔last Stadium concert👍

[@SWTSU]

@@johnboydTx Only in Texas hombre!!! The golden age for sure.

[@kevinminne1460]

Why?! They’re great to still listen 🎧 to!

[@abouttime5000]

A blasting rock band with three lead guitars. They are one of the best and get little in the way of respect. should have been in the Rock Hall years ago.

[@cesarnarro6013]

Saw April Wine in the mid 70's and they sounded as good live as they did on their studio albums. Saw them again about 10 years ago and they still sounded great !!!

[@franklinzappa7043]

I also saw them in 1981ish, in Denver Colorado, and they Absolutely Shredded It.🎼🎼Magnificent Musicians and Consumate Professionals.... and their Drummer ......... 🥁🥁🥁

[@gandalf679]

it was a pure blessing, musically to grow up in the 70's I graduated in '79, and jocked radio after my time in the Army, it was a awesome time for music, it was almost magical

[@more2131]

One of Canada's most underated bands. Saw them many times and the were always awesome👍

[@mrbuster1964]

Canadian legends!! They have SO MANY HIT SONGS!!!

[@blue-sc1se]

Dude, You hit the nail on the head. In the 70s they didn't have all the technology and tricks to make average (sometimes poor) performers sound acceptable. Record companies were looking for talent and creativity, not the cheapest way to make a buck.

[@donna3465]

This band and their songs are severely underrated. They are fantastic! I wish I’d been at this concert.

[@natalieburnham3300]

Everything you said about that era of music is 💯 percent correct.

[@sandraehler8717]

Myles Goodwin a true Canadian Icon. RIP Myles. ❤ 🤘

[@supra1903]

One of the greatest endings to a song of all time!

[@christophmozure9413]

“If You See Kay” tell her I love her. 😝😂

[@maryhamer9997]

Thanks for that it was like getting away with cussing as a child😂

[@supra1903]

More importantly, tell her I need her, right now!

[@ttrob93]

Yes , one of the most underrated bands of all time, one of my top 10 favorite, I can Jam out to them all night

[@StaciaAmnaber]

APRIL WINE!!?? omg blast from the past. I forgot how good they were! Thanks

[@williambyham3674]

How ? Did U , could U FORGET 🤔 . . . 🎶

[@kellycornell7510]

April Wine was my go to band for live shows in the 80's. Seen them 5 times and they were awesome every time. Great memories!

[@rsw1227]

Y & T: "Don't Stop Running" "Mean Streak" "Summertime Girls" FASTWAY: "Say What You Will" "Easy Living" DEF LEPPARD: "You Got Me Runnin'" "Let It Go" ALDO NOVA: "Foolin' Yourself" "Fantasy" "Monkey On Your Back" "Ball And Chain"

[@mistreated]

Yes, to all that!

[@brianjacobsen5762]

I've seen every band you just named live. Wow. Saw Y &T fastest Motliey crew saw Also nova And UFO Def was the head line don't remember other bands

[@bigsky3072]

It's so cool to have that dude rocking out to April Wine!!!

[@gordonbezanson4710]

Ya know why better back then ? These guys were brought up in the 50s 60s . And were actually taught stuff in school. Like shop, music, sports. And dedicated themselfs to their craft. I seen these guys down the street from house praticing in a garage when i was 6 years old. Seen them live about 5 times in my life . And they rocked everytime better than the studio versions of the songs . Their songs are the history of my life.

[@keymack2477]

Glad to see you rocking to some 70's Canadian greatness!! Their catalogue of fantastic hits includes Rock n Roll Is A Vicious Game, I'm On Fire For You Baby, Bad Side Of The Moon, You Won't Dance With Me, Tonite Is A Wonderful Time, Like A Lover Like A Song, I Like To Rock, Sign of the Gypsy Queen, You Could Have Been A Lady, and Just Between You and Me! Enjoy the trip!!

[@karengoodenough827]

My first concert, they opened for Rush, I was 14 and had a blast , still listen to them today

[@davidguillory1312]

Watching an old interview with the vocalist recently, he mentioned that this song was based upon a visit to Las Vegas, where he saw a lady gambling. Check out some of their other songs. April Wine was really good.

[@silentwood207]

April Wine was one of my favorite bands back in the day. I had several album’s by them. Wow, it’s been ages since I’ve heard this. Give a listen to “21st century schizoid man”. It’s a wild ride.

[@rohan5150]

So many good songs from this, one of Canada's greatest bands. Tonight is a wonderful time to fall in love, bad side of the moon, Like a lover like a song for some of the more mellow stuff. I like to rock, 21st century schizoid man for some of the harder. This band did it all

[@salsaucedo]

In heat of the scene out of Canada in that particular era we had April Wine, Rush, Triumph, and BTO all super talented and amazing bands

[@fasteddie777666]

Don't forget ...Max Webster, Voivod, I Mother Earth , Annihilator, and Pat Travers and Frank Marino.....

[@chercee]

I love Triumph!

[@dnormore1814]

Jeff Healey band...

[@uniquemum73]

Ohh teen bush parties in northern Ontario with April Wine cranked everywhere you went..RIP Myles ❤😢

[@TonyTheBassPlayer1]

It's about a girl that likes to Gamble. High Roller is an old expression referring to someone who bets big money.

[@thetravenousgamer]

Oowatanite, Crash & Burn, Anything You Want, Weeping Widow, Hot on the Wheels of Love, Sign of the Gypsy Queen, Future Tense...April Wine has some bangers. They also have great ballads too. Pretty much all their stuff is worth a listen.

[@lyndonpack8048]

"Future Tense"... have to listen to it now.

[@jwingnut1]

Pretty much the whole Nature of the Beast album is excellent. Not a bad song in it.

[@barryflinn3714]

Can't go wrong with April Wine.....Weeping Widow is a classic!

[@MrDeadstu]

"Weeping Widow" by these guys will melt your face....

[@tmr626]

April Wine had a lot of hits, however, I want to pass along four of their best songs: 1) Say Hello 2) Enough Is Enough 3) Love Has Remembered Me 4) This Could Be The Right One. Enjoy!

[@s.mcpherson6354]

If you like this Canadian band, then you'll almost certainly love any live 'Triumph.' All positive songs, brilliant musicians, and exactly the sort of fun you seem to enjoy from the '70's. The concert from Halifax is a decent choice. I hope you enjoy it.

[@andjustjizzforall]

Yup, Triumph was amazing. I'm from Australia and Rush is hardly known here, let alone Triumph or April Wine. But Triumph are one of my favourites, always make me feel so positive and happy

[@s.mcpherson6354]

@@andjustjizzforall I used to live in Australia but I did not realize they hadn't hit down there. Canada had a really good run of trios in the 70's and 80, be they bands, or bands with three guitars. Each of those bands you listed featured/s really intimidating players. Not just anyone wants to fill in with bands like that. If you're going to sit in with any of them you'd better know your stuff. And yet, despite all of the musical skill, the bands were fun on record and live. Super glad I saw all of them more than once.

[@michaelbrewer5773]

You're right. Such a great band, and they have some great songs

[@danadnauseam]

April Wine had about seven or eight years under their belt when they recorded this, and were big in Canada. This was their second US hit after Could Have Been a Lady. Their biggest US hit was a slower tune, Just Between You and Me. Myles Goodwyn on vocals and guitar. The other guitarists were Brin Greenway, and, at this time, Gary Moffett. Jerry Mercer on drums. He had played in a jam band called Mashmakhan in the late 60s, who had a hit with As the Years Go By.

[@jalkabre5904]

Such a great group with a bunch of good songs.

[@michaeljordan5131]

T!!!! Great reaction and song you got to hear "I Like To Rock" by April Wine also. Great band!!!

[@SuperDoomspoon]

Triple Axe Attack!!! AprilWine!!!👍🤘🏻

[@lancerx1759]

Thumbs Up for the Drummer he is Crushing!!!!

[@12symon]

"Hot on the Wheels of Love". April Wine. From Canada.

[@franklinzappa7043]

I was born in 1963, Saw April , In 1981, in Denver Colorado. Master Musicians, and one of the Greatest Drummers ever🥁🎸🥁🎸🥁🎸🎼🎼🎼🎼

[@bobbysimpson5540]

Great Band. Brings back Fast Skate at the Roller Rink at the fairgrounds. This Band really got me into Hard Rock and Metal!

[@tammiec4937]

Another Canadian gem. Sign of a Gypsy Queen

[@ewrekzz7360]

Music in the 70s was so freaking good... that THIS band can be one of those, "oh yeah I forgot about them!" bands. Their quality of music would be chart toppers today.

[@mikelasko8066]

You can't go wrong with anything from the First Glance album, very under rated group. Loved Live at the El Macombo as well.

[@gemsun6512]

This was my jam at the skating rink! I was 12 or 13 years old!! I use to be able to tare up that skating rink back in the day!! 💗🛼💗🛼💗 !! I’ll be 57 this year and probably break a hip or something if I tried skating now 😂🤣 Great reaction ! Love your enthusiasm !! ✌🏼❤️. Edit to add- check out foghat band song is slow ride! Another great band if the 70’s!! ✌🏼❤️

[@tomh9315]

Three fantastic guitarists in Miles Goodwyn (vocals), Brian Greenway and Gary Moffatt and drummer Jerry Mercer!!

[@lancecornell9978]

Exactly right. This album is still in the stash. Good recomendation Jeff! Keeping the 70s pumped up

[@kathyjones3940]

Known these guys since the late 1970s... still talk to some of them once in awhile, especially Myles Goodwynn the singer

[@gregscupholm254]

"Sign of the Gypsy Queen" and "Just Between You and Me" were big hits for them- and justifiably so. Great tunes. And actually they had more than a few.

[@allwrong3114]

Refreshing to hear a young guy say “Talent. Talent”. Dudes in the guitar era had guitars and talent. No synthetic made silly machine made sound like today. This talent and energy is mostly gone today. Thank God for being a teen in the late 70s early 80s. Saw April Wine Nature of the Beast tour in Vegas in 82. 8000 kids rocking like they never rocked before. Good choice and great analysis.

[@yambo59]

Im 63 and not only did we have quality we have a huge variety of music, so many great groups and singer / songwriter combos and much more.

[@shaunriley483]

Great Band!! One of my favorite songs by them is "Crash and Burn" Wicked tune for sure!

[@Ariel-ou2rr]

"April Wine" Concert was the Greatest.

[@dynjarren7523]

Good reaction! This song is a Banger! April Wine rocked hard!

[@keithbrown7685]

Everybody, I mean *everybody* in my class, loved April Wine. They had something for all of us. They had the hard stuff, like this, they had the romantic stuff, like 'Tonite Is A Wonderful Time To Fall In Love' and 'I'm On Fire For You'. And many many many more. They were the only band that no one had a bad word for.

[@bayareathrasher666]

I was born 7/5/69...you are right about the 70's, best time to be a kid!

[@lalba07]

I love your reaction to the lyrics! LOL 😂 You're awesome! The old school music was like no other and yes they said it like it is! No hiding it, no sugar coating... "she's a roller" 😄 Loved these guys ever since I can remember... I'm in my late 40's so do the math... One of my most favourite rock bands of all time. Proud of my fellow Canadians 🇨🇦 🎸 🎶 🎵 His voice... the instruments ... YES!

[@anthonycastelluci9225]

Saw them in Mobile, AL in 81'. Blew the roof off the dump! Try these rocking April Wine songs: I Like to Rock, All Over Town, and Sigh of the Gypsy Queen.

[@nightbird1314]

I'm forever stuck in the 70's! They just don't make "em like this anymore. ☮✌ Your wife already did it, but you need to do The Boys are Back in Town.💚

[@cappleton100]

True Canadiana! Have seen April Wine 5 times since 1982. Simply put, they ROCK! So worthy of global rock fame and am so proud they are Canadian!

[@renecuellar3078]

I REALLY enjoy your reactions. I love seeing you discover these classics and groove to it. It is genuine. Keep it up!!!!

[@keithbrown7685]

I know there were many more, but these were the soundtrack of my growing up. You Won't Dance With Me I'm On Fire For You Lady Run, Lady Hide Tonite Is A Wonderful Time Oowatanite Rock 'n Roll Is A Vicious Game Sign Of The Gypsey Queen Just Between You And Me Say Hello It never seemed to end, with April Wine.

[@terryomalley1974]

April Wine never received the credit they were due in the States, though they did have a few hits down there. But, trust me, in my hometown of Montreal, where the band was based, April Wine was massive back in the 70's.

[@debbieplato5107]

April Wine is from Canada. A lot of the Canadian bands back then had a hard breaking into the US market. Another song by them is I like to rock. There is a video of them doing that song at Le Studio in Quebec where Rush recorded a lot of their music. I am 67 and I grew up during the 70's and yes we were spoiled for talented artists back then. Cheers 🇨🇦✌

[@christinebelleau5064]

Amazing !!!!!! Love April Wine. Big fan for long time. Seeing them live is always a great time ♥️🎸🎤

[@mattharvey968]

Glad to see someone finally reacting to this song! And I agree on 70s decade of music!!✌️

[@brianseccomb6731]

High roller is a high stakes gambler by definition!

[@01tls]

April Wine was/is very underrated. So many good songs.

[@p.turtle2085]

Great commentary. I grew up with April Wine in Toronto, Canada. A bit of a mystery why they didn't explode internationally.

[@markstarrett2740]

April Wine's run ran a bit over three decades solid with about 40 albums including comps and live recordings. Check out Standback as well..great album too. Still around too.

[@MrJoseph6119]

April Wine kicks ass! These guys are great!

[@canaguy]

CANADA has so many great songwriters, BANDS like TROOPER, The Guess Who, Loverboy, Doug and the Slugs are all online to check out, have a listen

[@wolveswithin4444]

Amen!! Preach! So glad you can appreciate raw. Music. Talent. Gives me hope.

[@gillesmorin9439]

They are a Montreal band and they were very popular !

[@gypsyrain369]

Myles Wrote this song about their first time in Las Vegas At The Black Jack Table :) i LOVE THESE GUYS ! had to watch your video when i saw it up . Play Their Song ,, "Sign Of The Gypsy Queen " 💝

[@fasteddie777666]

April Wine is in the Canadian music hall of fame....they should be in the rock and roll hall of fame....they had probably over 20 hits ....I seen them in the 70's , and recently saw them about 5 years ago !!!!!....''you would like the songs from them , called ...''I LIKE TO ROCK ''......'' ALL OVER TOWN''....''OOWHATANITE''.....''BEFORE THE DAWN''.....''I'M ON FIRE FOR YOU BABY''...''LADIES MAN''......'''BABES IN ARMS''.......just a few gems !!!...enjoy

[@michaelyarmie4858]

I've seen April Wine a couple of times. GREAT ROCKEN CANADIAN BAND.

[@brucemckay1611]

Thx Jeff, grew up with this band

[@DeadShred9]

The song is about a Woman the singer watched Gamble in Vegas . He then wrote the song around this experience ...

[@mikecalderon5251]

I forgot all about this song, but l love April Wine. High school song and l loved it! "All over town" was another great and humorous song.

[@canadiantimberwolf1]

April Wine, from my hometown of Halifax Nova Scotia.. great band great music,, oooowatanite, fasttrain, tonight is a wonderful night to fall in love, and so many more.. I hope you will take a listen to them more..

[@jwingnut1]

I discovered April Wine with the 1981 album "Nature of the Beast", and I've never been the same. I agree the the suggestion of April Wine's "I Like To Rock". Very solid song and they skillfully sample The Rolling Stones "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" guitar riff, then blend into The Beatles' "Baby You Can Drive My Car" riff. That couldn't have been a common thing back then.

[@philmullineaux5405]

Formed back in the supergroup days, 20 years of albums, 1 a year, still touring I believe! All April Wine sings are great!!! All great musicians, great singers, very much varied songs, imagine being the drummer on this song, having to fill in all that guitar sound!😮Put that on continuous, put in the earbuds, and thoroughly trash out ur run or workouts! I'll play this song for younger guys , into rock and guitar, but typically don't know anything about the guitar gods, pre grunge days. And after this song, their faces look like they got struck by lightning! And then usually say something like," I don't even get or know nor understand what I just heard!!!"

[@laurabryfogle7516]

Yes, msny, many incredible bands from the 70:s!! Str as ight up! Jerry Doucette " Mama let him play "!?

[@supra1903]

Hey T you mentioned the MVP goes our to the drummer...Jerry Mercer will be 82 years old on April 27...outstanding and still rocking!

[@adriannyles3248]

Met the band a few times hung out, it was really cool. Myles is really chill guy more down to earth than most Canadian musicians. The drummer is also really cool, half way through his drum solo he tosses his sticks and does the rest bare handed

[@nickwoodson2686]

The song is actually about a lady who loves to gamble

[@gordonbezanson4710]

Id watch these guys practice in a garage in Waverly n.s in 71 n 72 when i was 6 years old. Ive seen these guys many times over the years.

[@donnalovell4199]

The song is about her being a gambler! She’s a high roller!

[@Smittay-Sr.]

April Wine record I liked was, "Harder Faster!" Like some bands like CCR, a lot of songs short.

[@Mutt69m]

The 70's was a great and fun decade to be in, cool muscle cars and street cruising , Disco was making the scene , and rock music was flexing its muscles. Bands like KISS , Angel , Mott The Hoople, Deep Purple , The Eagles, The Hollies, Paul McCartney and Wings, AC/DC, Areosmith, REO Speedwagon, Little River Band, Supertramp, The Guess Who, B.T.O., Elton John, Bad Finger, Rod Stewart, Doobie Brothers, Slade , Eric Clapton, Nazarath, Gary Wright, Boston,April Wine , Heart, they were all over the airways and AM Radio played the best tunes from great bands and singers all the time. If I could go back to any time, I would choose the 70's...

[@bigsky3072]

Dual and triple lead guitars are very rare. Except in Southern rock bands and long jam bands. The Allman Brothers, the Outlaws and Thin Lizzy were masters of this. Also, 2 drummers. Back in about 1978, during some of their live concerts had 4 lead guitars. In regard to the Allman Brothers, Duane Allman was once asked: " why do you need 2 drummers? He responded by saying. Because James Brown had 2 drummers!"

[@bigsky3072]

I meant to say Thin Lizzy had 4 lead guitars..

[@edmundwynne8021]

love hearing actual bass guitar in the mix! 70's rocked!

[@kevinminne1460]

New subscriber here! 😀 Love your channel. I was 17 in 1976 and grew up with this music. April Wine was awesome. Try their ballad “Just between you and me”. Of course “Sign of the gypsy queen” is a must!
