Bachman Turner (BTO) perform "Blue Collar" July 2010

[fredstuckmann]

My favorite BTO song, good to see them still performing it.

Thanks.

[Vatch1966]

This was the very first song I had ever heard from B.T.O.

[kianpa1]

nice

[stingray1964]

Man..Fred Turner is so skinny! Good for him....but I miss the old days when they were all huge with their fur collars and platform heels!

Great Recording...sound is A-mazing!

[Lerxst3333]

Way to go guys! I wore out The Best of BTO in a few formats, including 8-track :)

[msammonit50]

WOOOWWWW! NEARLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL WITH COMPLETE BTO.... But still better! And the wonderful guitars from FRED and RANDY and the fantastic voice ffomr FRED, Oh my, I grow crazy1 THanks for loading up, you made me very happy

Awesome! BTO rocked in the 70's and still rocks now. Stat 101 at BGSU in 1974 with the Blue Collar question and Dr. Ralph St. John, Professor of Statistics. Too cool!

[stingray1964]

man, that was GREAT....these guys from the 70's are still the kings!!

[lasurvivor47]

Great stuff! Still got it!

[robs2962]

[Logjam5]

[msammonit50]

Unbelievable! These are randy bachman and Fred Turner...... many decasdes later..... but they play as fresh as in earlier years..... FANTASTIC! Thanks fpr uploading. Is it true thar the gig isfrom last year, from 2010????????

[Vatch1966]

This was actually the very first I had ever heard from B.T.O...Remember those K-Tel Records that came out during the early-mid70's?? lol

[blairwitch12]

who is that playing drums

[addresses]

@blairwitch12: I think the other musicians are just hired hands.

[c99sativa]

very nice recording. great song, maybe their best.

[andyinoregon]

@c99sativa Couldn't agree more. This song rivals the very best work of Steely Dan in the early '70s. It would fit perfectly on "Can't Buy A Thrill" or "Countdown To Ecstasy."

[rrstargate1]

BTO always rocked........

[creteham]

Where was this show?

[crwstube]

Great vid and Excellent quality.

What did you use for recording?

Thanks for the upload.

[addresses]

@crwstube: Sony HDR-TG1

[Sugarbadd]

Great song.....but what is the bass scale CF Turner uses during the jazz part of the song at the end?

[msbfd]

@Sugarbadd

It's nothing special (well, his playing is, but the scale isn't) It's A minor with a bit of chromatic walking - the chords are Am and F, and even Randy's soloing is pretty solidy in A minor. It's jazzy playing but not terribly jazzy chords.

[walleyesam]

You gotta love the guitar work from Randy Bachman! And I agree with zaphodwang, very good video. Check out C.F. Turner's bass licks at about the 6:10 mark! Great!!!

[zaphodwang]

Great song. One of my favorite 45 rpm B-sides. Nice job on the video.

[locoporweb]

BTO rulez!!! thanks!!

[StefanCreutzburg]

Thanks for the good audio quality! Besides - Randy gets better and better with the last part ;-)
