Saw them 3 years ago. Loooooong bass solo. I think it was to allow the other members to get off stage for a few hits of oxygen...
Didn't recall knowing they were from Canada.That's one of those songs that I never cared for as a whole, but loved the playing by all three. What they did was really unique. Weird I know, but I make no claims to being normal!

One of the great rock n roll stutters...
don't mix your snowballs and quaaludes....
ÿep, feel the same about this one but to this day, i can count drummers that can pull it off (way he comes in) with one hand…..the zen of simplicity….badazz…
Got to see them in concert. They were great.
Thanks! I’m confident my shop can get it squared away, assuming there isn’t anything catastrophically wrong with it. I dropped it off about 1/2 an hour ago, and they said it’ll be about 1-2 weeks due to backlogged work. Normally I’d just return it and be done with it, but like I said, everything else seems to be top notch so I’m willing to spend a little bit before just writing it off. I’ve played Fender-style instruments my the most, but I have a definite love and appreciation for Gibson/Epiphone basses too. They’re unique tonally, built differently, quirky, and are as much a part of bass history as Fender. And I still say, to my ear, no basses sound better when played with a pick than Gibson.

Saw them in '86 kinda underwhelming.

We must he related, I love BTO, my penchant for suede fringe can be traced to them.

I've always liked them, they were kind of local in the early '70s, I remember them being on the list bands we could vote to have play at my High School's Homecoming dance! I really like Fred Turner, the man is a good, solid player and can really sing very well - a very under appreciated rock and rock soldier!
