THE STAMPEDERS - Oh my lady - First time REACTION

[@Imadrummin]

Another solid band from our friends in Canada. 👍👍👍

[@gregbell3559]

Luv this song

[@John_Chu]

Canada shares a Western heritage much like the US. In fact country music has an equally enduring history in Canadian musical culture. The Stampeders are named after The Calgary Stampede, an annual festival of rodeo and cowboy life held in July in Calgary, Alberta. Someone in your subscriber base should request you react to Ian Tyson's classic "Four Strong Winds," which has been covered by dozens of artists, including Neil Young and Bobby Bare.

[@grahamkemble3917]

Their biggest hit was “Sweet City Woman”.

[@marybaillie8907]

Great Canadian band out of Calgary. Wild Eyes Carry Me Sweet City Woman is my favourite too. Thanks Harri. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@Imadrummin]

I certainly agree. Sweet City Woman is not only my favorite from the Stampeders but one of my all time favorite songs of the 70's. 👍👍👍

[@marybaillie8907]

@@Imadrummin Wow. Pretty high on the list. That's amazing. 👍✌️🇨🇦

[@6916dog]

The video is sweet. Performing at the Stampede grounds on the infield, right beside where the rodeo events and chuckwagon races took place. Takes you back to a simpler time

[@marybaillie8907]

@@6916dog Certainly does. Great memories. 👍✌️🎶🇨🇦

[@julietenning7981]

This was such a great band. And a beautiful song. Came out when I was just a kid

[@Zebred2001]

Great reaction Harri! My first Rock concert was The Stampeders. It was 1972 in my hometown hockey rink. I was 11. It was a real rite of passage. My ears were ringing coming out afterward! Please check out another soulful Canadian classic from this era - When I Die by Motherlode (It's a different song than the one by Blood Sweat and Tears).

[@SARA-11-1]

Oh my heart, the memories!

[@Cynthia...]

I had this one on my list for the future. Great choice Donald. This song is just so beautiful thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦

[@greybeard2280]

This song has your name written all over it Cynthia...lol! This definitely is in your wheelhouse!

[@jaq4608]

Wow, I haven’t thought of these guys in decades! I still live in their hometown and saw them live what feels like 100 years ago with my folks who are gone now. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

[@toddstevens13]

Well get the heck out and see them on their 50 year anniversary tour this summer, they just did their Tour through Ontario. Sadly they have no dates for Calgary or any of Alberta yet.

[@jaq4608]

@@toddstevens13 Damn, that sounds like fun!

[@toddstevens13]

@@jaq4608 It was, saw them in two different towns, as I think it will be the last chance.

[@Capycapybora]

Saw them live at macphearson playhousw vic, kim berly sounded great still it was a good show❤😊

[@MrDalebenberger]

The Stampeders were only big for a few years, but they had their own wonderful sound. I remember hearing them on the radio as I approached my early teens. The Stampeders were from Calgary, Alberta and took their name from the world famous Calgary Stampede rodeo. The Calgary team in the Canadian Football (not soccer) is also.called the Stampeders. Thanks for a taste of my Canadian childhood memories, Harri.

[@jamesburke868]

Hello Harribest..this band is iconic in Canadian music...I ask that you give their line up a listen..

[@judypritchard4670]

From the city where I have spent the last 35 years. Grew up listening to the Stampeders as a younger woman. One of the best Canadian bands of the era

[@dagmar.6954]

I remember this great Canadian rock group & had their albums. They started out in the 60's but their biggest hits were in the 70's. "Sweet City Woman", "Hit The Road Jack" (featuring Wolfman Jack), "Carry Me", "Playin' In The Band", "Wild Eyes", "Monday Morning Choo Choo", "Devil You", "Ramona", "Minstrel Gypsy", "New Orleans" etc.

[@rtd7066]

I saw them when I was 6 yrs old at the Ontario Place opening. They played with the Poppie Family. I remember thinking they were loud and raucous...lol. but I loved being there with my sisters and my Auntie Tookie who took us there. Great memory. Thank you

[@MyElvis1994]

minstral gypsy is by far my favorite song by them

[@mark-dietz]

There is no signature sound of the Stampeders. They wrote beautiful love songs, rock songs, some country sounding songs, and even touched on heavy rock. Listen to Playing in the Band, or Manitou, and you'll be surprised.

[@samhain1894]

My very first album was the Stampeders. I was probably 11 years old. Love them ❤️

[@mars856]

If you happen to find it Harri. A poignant song they wrote about the Civil War called Carry Me. The video is a montage of old civil war photos throughout the song. One of my favorites. Well done as always.

[@toddstevens13]

Now you have to go to the absolute opposite dimension of the Stampeders with "Wild Eyes", a full on Rocker.

[@brentireland9866]

I still have my pristine Stampeder's record's I got as a 10 year old in Calgary early 70,s. They have a rich vinyl tine that compressed cd's lack. Don't find Stampeder's records much in the second hand vinyl stores here in Calgary!

[@jeepster7806]

Kim still sounds good, they all do. Just did a quick 25- 30 day tour

[@debbiemickelson5448]

I've heard of the group but I have never heard this song very good

[@hazelmaylebrun6243]

A Canadian gem from the 1970s. I recommend "Carry Me," "Minstrel Gypsy," "Wild Eyes," "Devil YOu," and there are more I'm sure. Just can't think of them off the top off my head, but I grew up listening to this band and it was good good good for the soul.

Once again Harri I'm family ✌🏼

[@normanrose2711]

I think they had a big hit with Sweet City Woman- great song

[@chrishinman6143]

Harri ...It is impossible to not be happy when you listen to "Sweet city woman" check it out !

[@Dee-JayW]

Need to do their big hit “Sweet City Woman”. Saw them a lot in my youth, as I live near Calgary 😊

[@ronaldgould515]

Canadas top group 1974

[@donnamikola48]

I second Four Strong Winds by Ian & Sylvia!🍁

[@dino946]

Love ya Ronnie King RIP. The audio was from the late sixties, so there’s that.

[@seandunne696]

Thank you Harri for reacting to some Canadian talent. There was a band from the east coast called Spirit of the West who I think you will enjoy. Their song "Home For a Rest" is the perfect Canadian drinking anthem. It always has everyone in the pub singing along whenever it is played. Please check it out!

[@seanmackey8552]

Not from the East Coast. Spirit of the West were a Canadian folk rock band from North Vancouver. Still got some great songs!

[@wyrwolf]

If you like this, you'll also like Minstrel Gypsy also written and sung by Kim.

[@AnitaKraft-ux9qk]

Favorite song ever, pretty sure the quality isn't as well because this was like 50 years ago and it wasn't advanced as it is now and you kind of have to take that into account

[@alejandrobojorquez6181]

STAMPEDERS - " Oh My Lady " .. CD Studio Version has the best Audio Quality in real stereo sound. by removing " The " and only typing STAMPEDERS which originally the bands original name is Stampeders that's the main reason I don't like Live versions because of the low quality sound you get sometimes, it doesn't happen all the time though only in this particular song which is a live video and not a Studio Recording.

[@50kgbrain]

Always try to listen to the studio version of a song. Only certain live songs are better like Boston or Cheap Trick.

[@ronaldgould515]

I was 13

[@ronaldgould515]

Its 1974

[@Skavar4000]

The original was definitely better sound than this video... but remember it was 1973

[@anitakrienke8787]

Hope you heard Hit the road jack. Stampeders
