Jeez will people shut the hell up about him playing his song differently? It's artistic integrity to have fun on stage and jam out like that, look at led zeppelin, sabbath, and so many other bands. They had fun on stage! Let them go nuts and play anything the freaking want!
Midnight Special 1978. I taped the audio off of the TV onto my little cassette recorder. Pre VCR days. Randy had just left BTO and recorded his "Survivor" album, with a little help from BC.
o Dia que BTO vier ao Brasil vai ver o quanto fazem sucesso por aqui e são amados por uma geração de roqueiros anos 70 e 80. Abraços mil do fã Gilberto Siqueira.
@ZoneMaster4660 What did he say? This was so long ago and people were shocked at how good this dude played loud as hell. Alot of people think this is a Skinner song
According to Randy...BACKman is how it's pronounced in Europe and Canada..BOKman is how it's pronounced in the U.S....When I met him I asked him what he preferred..he said it didn't matter ..."when in Rome" he said to me.
@rizzlaxl dumbass, its HIS song. He didn't butcher it, he made it, he has the artistic integrity to play it how he damn well pleases. If he wants to add a solo in the middle of the fucking verse/ chorus HE CAN!
1978 when Randy was promoting his "SURVIVOR" album. It's from Midnight Special.. It's a shame it wasn't included in the dvd package recently put together.. I have other things from this show posted check them out too...

This song is concrete evidence that the 70s sucked in terms of music.
