I love this song and I was born in the 88. I love all 70s, 80s and 90s music! I will see them in 2 week here in Toronto.. for the first time! I cannot wait! Rock on!

OK, I'll make this the last video I watch in 2020. Great place to stop.

One of greatest rock anthems ever. Thanks Randy and B.T.O..

A living legend..........Kind regards from Germany....and by the way Bachman is a german name....i think his Dad was a german and his Mother was from Ukraine......

Randy wrote some of the most Iconic hooks and riffs in history.

[@photonotavailable7936]

Real music by a real musician. I ain’t got “No Time” left for today’s so-called recording artists. Randy should’ve headlined Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. Without Bachman performing on December 31, 2020 there was definitely “No Sugar Tonight,” not even close. “American Woman” was a no show. Wondering why? I’ll tell you, “She’s Come Undone”. There wasn’t even a “Clap for the Wolfman”. And that’s a fact, Jack!

[@wildestcowboy2668]

This dude is as good as bocephus! How can he and Hank be so old and so good?

[@michaelgatten]

Very Cool. He is a Canadian Treasure. I saw BTO open for Van Halen in 1986. The orgins of this song from Chuck Berry to the Beatles to the classic it morphed into is amazing.

[@patrickostrom2762]

Randy still rocking the house down and Takin care of business,that day! Reflects when BTO hit air wave's Gee it's great to see some America youth in audience groovin to the tune! Dam Joe! Time did fly away !

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Hi Pat.... yes time flies... Happy New Year...Joe

[@archstanton9206]

The unofficial official theme song of my senior class, LOL. Boy does this song and this band connect me to those times. Pioneer Supertuner, Jensen Coaxials, and a solid lifter cam in a hot small block powered Chevelle, with a BTO cassette blasting over the headers and cherry bomb mufflers

[@joehunter6819]

Oh yeah! I remember Bachman Turner Overdrive quite well, after the Guesswho somewhat retired, BTO kicked it into high gear, kickin out several great guitar rock songs, that bring back alot of memories from the 70's! Thanks Joe for having him on here, and thank you too, Mr. Randy Bachman, for all the great songs that you've given us over the years, Rock On Randy !!! 🤪🍁

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks Joe.... Happy New Year....Joe

Saw BTO in the Capitol Theater in Jersey when I was in High School: first concert I ever went to. Have been a huge fan for life. Randy still looks and sounds pretty good here.

[@johnmorrissey5105]

[@RayLabs]

I played in a cover band back in the 80's while in Graduate School in New Orleans for my MBA. We always closed our set with Takin Care of Business (hence the appropriate song for an MBA band). One night the manager of the venue we were playing at (Carrolton Station in New Orleans) came up and said this is your "Last" song so we played a 45 minute version of Taking Care of Business. 2 months later we got a call to play on the Riverboat President as the opening act on a River cruise, Stevie Ray Vaughn was the head liner. We went into Takin Care Of Business as our last song, when we heard a unique Guitar and looked over and there was SRV walking on stage and jamming with us. The highlight of my musician career. We didn't play the 45 minute version, but we did play until he indicated to finish up. What an incredible night and all thanks to BTO for an incredible song.

[@garymccarver5006]

Randy, you still have it after all these years. You're better than ever! The seventies was the best decade to be a teenager with the best music. Your music was a pivotal part of those years for me. Thank you for the memories today.

[@rebeccawagner4167]

An awesome group with amazing music 🎶 🎵, they made the 70's fantastic 😀

[@seanwoodburn2616]

Wow...as much fun as you can have with six strings... Taking Care of Business was my first bands anthem. This would have been 1975 and we played it at every show because Randy's lyrics told the story of what we wanted to be and we wanted to sound like BTO. We covered Let it Ride and You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet as well. Great fun content. Cheers!

[@daviddanser7801]

Great song, and just like Elvis Presley said too, TCB, taking care of business

song of the year tbh. worked the whole time. :)

[@pamelamacneil1331]

A great musician and a great song to bring in the New Year. I am Canadian and I can tell you that , deservedly, Randy is a much loved musical icon here. He's also a really nice guy. He had his own Saturday night radio show, I think at the CBC, a few years back. I would make a point of tuning into him every Saturday night.. He told great stories about musicians and music itself. Randy and Burton Cummings when they were with "The Guess Who" were a great songwriting team. Randy repeated that success with BTO. I love his music and his passion for it, he is a real treasure. Thanks so much for sharing this and have a wonderful New Year!

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thank you too Pamela.... yes I’ve been a fan of Randy since the Guess Who and later BTO... Happy New Year... Joe

[@Riverdeepnwide]

Pamela yes, “Vinyl Tap”, great show.

[@pamelamacneil1331]

@@Riverdeepnwide Thx. I had forgotten the name. Randy's knowledge of music and great storytelling ability, made it a great show. I think more than anything though Randy really, really loves music particularly playing the guitar and myself and millions more, I'm sure, loved listening to him and still do.His website on "Vinyl Tap" contains all of his shows, so I know what I'll be listening to throughout this New Year. Happy New Year and I hope 2021 finds us all safe and well and I'm looking forward to the musical history that Joe will be bringing to the table this year. Go Well!

[@lisica8458]

Randy still had it.

[@donaldeldridge1674]

For Christmas in 1973, I got my very first rock-and-roll album, "Not Fragile". That was the beginning of a lifetime love of listening to- and going to see live- the greatest bands in rock-and-roll history. I still have that album, and will to the day I die. "Taklng Care of Business ", is the background music of my life! Thanks, Randy!

Way better than any of the alleged entertainment on TV tonight! Rock the New Year!! Thanks, Joe! Cheers!!

That song from BTO brings back memories when I was in high school.Back then,some of us would carry around those portable cassette players.Some of the students would be hanging out before classes started and between classes.That song could be heard blaring all down the hallways.Also,Brownsville Station...Smokin' in the Boys Room... got equal sharing too! I wonder what Elvis thought about that song since the title was his motto of him and his Memphis Mafia?Thanks Joe,you ended the year on a good one!

Randy was/is a Mormon, hence he didn't drink, smoke, or do drugs, and he made sure no one else on the tour did.

[@richardjanik5934]

Best ....

[@c5back9]

And that folks is how it’s done!!! I remember a guy in my college dorm who was a big Gino Vannelli fan. This guy was a great athlete and really good guy, but some of his musical interests were kind of bizzare in my opinion. Anyhow, his parents gave him a new, very powerful Marantz Quadrophonic audio system for Christmas and it seemed like he was blasting that Gino Vannelli crap nonstop. You could literally hear it all across the south end of campus. Then fortunately he finally was exposed to BTO, and we rarely had to endure that Vannelli nonsense anymore. Thanks to whoever it was that got that guy straightened out. Thanks too to Randy Bachman without whom I’m pretty certain, I’d have lost what little sanity I had at that time.
