[catcha2011]

IT WAS WELL DONE!....In MELFORT ! Worth attending!! Artistic Musicians! I am in Love...with Talented MEN! Right ON!

[unwindzen]

Sounds good but there has to be at least one guitar player in the audience who could cover the rythm while the guitarist plays lead. It's the economy.

I was 9 in 1971. Today, wonderful memories come to my mind when I hear this song. I remember the school, my friends. I was a happy little girl. Congratulations from Santiago Chile and thanks for this song.

[rebekkah39]

They are playing in Amherst NS next month I cannot wait to go see them ♥

[catcha2011]

They Will Be In Melfort,Saskatchewan June 18th 2011...Right On! I am So excited to see and listen to these Men! PTL!

The original bands need to make a better effort at sounding better than cover bands do when they redo the song. They should've hired an extra guitar player to cover the lead guitar licks and banjo that was the signature sounds of this song.

This sends me right back to 1971----I was 12, just discovering music....and other things.  Great memories.

[Vincentdeep]

This is hot to death, I love this song and it's raw and live here! Thanks for posting!

[unclesaboin]

I went to see them when they came to the Capitol Theatre in Moncton.

[jwrwheelz]

I think that this performance is OK, but yes, it is missing that extra guitar(definitely a key element of the song) and I really love to hear the banjo over the guitar. This is probably the only non-instrumental hit song, that I can think of, that featured a banjo. And it worked so well. This song makes me think of summer. Like most of the one hit wonders from back then, this outshines anything on the charts(are there still charts?) from these days. And yes, I do listen to new bands/music.

[gerKremerC]

An infectiously catchy song indeed. Great performance here, too. The chorus and the vocal part during the solo are tough to sing live. I agree there should be another guitar for the riffs during the chorus.

[justgetsome]

a classic.

[srf1969]

This was the first time I've seen this song in Concert. This was a great performance.

[tap585grad706]

I agree. I saw them do it live too. They are nice people, very friendly and it was a fun, great concert!

Best Wishes, Vince Ravon.

I can tell you where I was in 1971. Working with the greatest group of people I had ever worked with, as a bunch of natural resources-types - you know, foresters, biologists, agrologists, and so on, mapping Canada's resources. We had a special bond.

One weekend, we had a hayride to celebrate the end of the field season. Some of us were pretty good musicians and at the campfire we broke out the bangoes and guitars and sang this song, several times, and many others.

Wonderful memories.

Great to see them still performing but the last show I went to the vocals seem to be strained.

[2848770]

Still enjoy seeing the guys perform however to be honest the vocals are suffering.

[TORONTO987654321]

God bless these guys. I have very fond child hood memories do to this song.

Thank you

It's missing the lead riff which is the hook of the song. Otherwise it's good to see old rockers working in their senior years. Means there's more left in the Canada pension fund.

[ervonia]

I didn't know the stampeders where in dartmouth for canada day!

[Bluntfacts]

Great song. But this performance obviously lacks the production values of the original recorded version.

Song = A

Performance = C

Nostalgia value = B to A

[thehellbenders]

I don't agree. This is a great sound for a LIVE, three piece band - particularly after so many years. Playing, vocals and harmonies are all great!

Maybe you are just missing the banjo sounds from the original ... ? ;-)

[Bluntfacts]

Okay. I watched it again. This performance is not in the A range. Even the B range is stretching.

Don't even watch the video; just listen to the performance. It's OK. C range. 3 Stars on YouTube

[koolaid28]

It's alright. I like hearing a less than perfect performance now and then. The groove is definitely there.
