  • Myles was always a great guitar player. I wish they had continued with the kind of sound they had on Nature Of the Beast, which was what set them apart. Even if songs like this one seem a bit Spinal Tap and plodding, they did themselves no favor re-inventing their music.

  • Thats how you open a show. Pretty cool.

  • mega great, 3 guitars, love this band!

  • Show em how to play that Les Paul Miles!

  • Great guitar and vocals. Great band

  • These guys were probably Canada's biggest ever musical secret.

  • wait wait wait!!!!! Cedar Rapids used to have good rock contcerts come through?!?!

  • Myles and the crew can still kick ass--saw him in Green Bay two years ago. He came on stage with a Les Paul and a pair of Ray-Bans on--looked like Roy Orbison out there. Great show--was one of Jerry's last playing drums

  • One of my fave HEAVY ROCK bands ever together with HELIX and TRIUMPH

  • Not so bad. Good purkka rock.

  • the sound on this is pretty weak but you can tell they are just ripping it up.

  • I was at this show. 10000 people and the house was rockin. The filmed this as a part of a show with The Steve Miller Band.  Steve was in Michigan and everytime he had to throw it back to AW he could never get the town name right. One hell of a show.

  • thanks for that information! I saw them in 1983 at the Montreal Forum, and it was also an unbelieveable show! They could easily still sell out stadiums if they had the right exposure because they still have fans of every age group and anyone who hears them becomes a fan

  • his son goes to my school

  • i saw april wine's 'whole world is going crazy tour'... in london ontario...i believe it was 1976...maybe 77... things were a bit fuzzy then ... "Heart" opened for them ... first concert for me ... amazing!!!!

  • THIS CONCERT should be the LIVE DVD that April Wine is promoting. The Powerplay tour was AMAZING!!! The old video of Nature of the Beast doesn't show April Wine at it's finest moment.

  • wow...what memories!!! I was at this show!! It was the 3rd show I ever went to, If memory serves, Eddie Money opened the show???.....I think I still have the ticket stub!!!...anyway, very cool, thanks for putting up the video!!

  • great stuff!! they are amazing live. they actually played in my hometown, in new brunswick. not far from where goodwyn grew up. you think it rocks here, stand 10 feet from the stage!!!

  • I wish april wine, triumph, & honeymoon

    site would tour in mid- sized areas....

    how about the Quad Cities......

  • Oh, my God - thank you for posting this - Canada;s Led Zeppellin!!!!! I met Myles 5 years ago at breakfast - a real class act act!!

  • AMAZING Footage. Would love to have the whole Powerplay concert!

    Thanks for posting!

  • goodwyn is so talented...makes playing and singing at the same time look easy

  • me too blondes4mee....too bad they didn't break through more in the us and europe
