Randy Bachman: guitar gentle giant

[@gregoryduncan3067]

I don't think there's much film footage of them this far back. First album territory.

[@davidwade5807]

There's a great documentary on KZbin following them back in the 70s. A little like the Led Zeppelin documentary. Respect

[@mfrankel8321]

I love this original lineup of BTO with the three brothers and CF !

[@toeleo5708]

I never read my cover when I had this album. I never realized that there were 3 brothers

[@malemesjager41]

Whos CF ??

[@laklodg]

Randy Bachman is the most underrated Guitarist ever

[@thedudeedbtz]

Yes, Randy and his son kept us entertained during the Covid BS on KZbin. He has the respect of his peers and he's OK with that. Rock and Roll Hall of Shame's ultimate victim, being slapped on both cheeks. (Guess Who and BTO)

[@animemanganet]

@@thedudeedbtz Meh the Rock Hall of Fame is crap. At least we know how great they are and appreciate them. And thank you Midnight Special for letting us watch! : )

[@louiebee6745]

Check out his 2 solo albums Axe and Survivor. Both underrated gems.👍👍

[@Dan-zq5wt]

Randy really had those country influenced chops down.

[@louiebee6745]

That riff and the bass walkdown gets stuck in your head like crazy glue. LOL

[@RwalterMI]

Awesome.

[@cherylalikhani5957]

Lots of great memories from this song. I remember the shock of hearing the word damn when my dad had me listen to this as a kid. Swearing, even mild words like damn and hell were a big no-no back then and for many more decades later over the radio.

[@davidmacgregor5193]

Randy is still touring as Bachman-Turner Overdrive in 2024 with hes son Tal "She's So Fine" Bachman. Unfortunately Fred Turner retired in 2018. Randy is the eldest and sole survivor of the four Bachman brothers. R.I.P. Gary, Robbie and Tim Bachman.

Wooooooow! And here with Tim as good as he can be, he's groovnin'

[@texasfreedomlover4730]

My first “real” concert that I attended, BTO and Aerosmith at the Erie Field House. Tour for both bands first albums.

[@armybrat75]

Went to a couple of "Real Concerts" before I saw them. Notably, Stones, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Steve Miller. However, it was the first concert I went to in my hometown of Colorado Springs at the Penrose Center. An outdoor show right up next to the mountain. Beautiful Setting. But, CS being CS, some drunken GI's from Fort Carson broke down the admission gates & caused a ruckus. They never had a rock concert there again, The show was great though.

[@texasfreedomlover4730]

@@armybrat75 sounds like a good time to me, excluding the ruckus part. I’ve seen all of those bands too but later down the road. First of the many times I’ve seen the Who was in 1976, the Stones in 1975 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, the Eagles, Montrose with Sammy Hagar and Trapeze opened the show.

[@databasedan6833]

Randy guitar tone is awesome. It looks like a gretsch pickup in the neck position….brilliant….that worn out strat is a beast……

[@chriscampbell9191]

The bit in the middle he's playing on the middle, Strat pickup. You can tell if you look at the pickup selector switch. Unless it's wired differently from 'stock' Strat switches, which some guitar players had done in the 70's, Ed King being one of them.

[@thescarletandgrey2505]

This was when a band was actually required to have good musicians. These guys can all PLAY!! What a bunch of bears, too. A far cry from today’s “I’m a male singer but listen to my high pitched sensitive-sided voice” crap.

[@eugeniolopes5251]

Meuuuuuuuuu tempooooooo

[@Matt_Kraczon]

Anyone know the story on Randy’s strat? It appears to be a 50’s body with (I think ) a slab fingerboard neck from a 60’s Tele - but hard to tell as the bottom of headstock appears to have been sawed off. I’m seeing three toggles for pickup selection and what looks like a TV Jones “toaster” pickup in the neck ( I know he was a Gretsch fan so that fits) and a Tele neck pickup in the bridge position. I also saw that the lower tone knob is off. Interesting setup that must have offered a wide variety of tones.

[@landonlewsaw1762]

Funny, I just saw that guitar yesterday in an exhibit of his gear at the National Music Centre in Calgary. It was a partscaster he built because he was having back problems from playing LPs.

[@krisscanlon4051]

Kinda CCR like obviously...its all Boogie rock baby...swamp rock got some Boogies in it.

[@Dan-zq5wt]

This song reminds me of a BTO version of Proud Mary. The verse is definitely a similar melody.

[@tonystephens6858]

I never noticed this before, but is the headstock on Randy's strat splintered?

🤔what was Randy's brother in yellows name?

​@@edsanders9605I think BTO's sound was harder.

@@toastertwo1602I do too, definitely 💯% agree! CCR was more swamp rock.

[@stevenmurphy7334]

About a twin sound of ccr proud Mary very strange coincidence and a lot of rolling stones influence in the air mick jagger or john forgerty could have easily sung this and made it sound like either had written the lyrics

[@ddmac9333]

so good! grew up with this great sound.
