Where's Myles? 

[drkam6]

Fripp must have been proud!

[x100man]

Now thats a Show!!

[theaxemeister]

I remember that this band turned me on to King Crimson. They were on a radio interview talking about how much they wanted to play this song, and I thought it was one of the wildest songs I had heard. They were big fans of Fripp.

[TokaCola]

the studio version of this is brilliant

[SiKLicKs67]

This band did not get enough recognition. I saw them live 3 times when Jerry and Jim Clench were in the band and they kick ass. Alot of people haven't even heard of them, I wish there was some way to get more people to listen to them.

[zipzipzappy]

it aint king crimson but they do a damn good rendition of this classic

[lc44906]

LOVE this rendition! April Wine was a band that did NOT need big hair to impress people. They just flat out jammed! Much like Triumph, RUSH and some other great Canadian rock.

Sadly here in the US, radio & record companies made bands dress like tards & play the same doldrum music. Ugh.

I love a lot of US music but the 80's was a time when copycat bands were cranked out like clcokwork for MTV.

And I hate the Grunge crapola that came after too. Ugh. Retard music.

[yourmexicanfriend]

it almost pisses me off that this song pretty much decribes this century in 1 line! but at the same time i love it!

[sacrificialblood]

how are you not gonna have the last 2 songs? you're killing me!!!

[FireteamBeta]

Jerry Mercer, the drummer, is from Upper Island Cove, which is 2 minutes away from my house.

[rblechta]

@FireteamBeta

Jerry Mercer is a fantastic drummer and completely underrated as a musician.

[Llahsram69]

I used to have this whole show on VHS...now...where the hell did I put that thing?

[deldine70]

Excellent! that's so much for this great , rare post!!

[jhachey222]

OMG! Robert Plant @ 4:05

[BTThrash]

thats the robert plant monster

[6sixkids6]

Saw them last night and let me tell ya..they may be older but they still kick some serious ass!21st Century was still in the setlist and Brian Greenway still has the pipes to pull this song off.Still a recommended "must see"show.

[pjdvqq5]

that's great - good to know they are rocking on !

[rodcrippler]

bad audio, but great cover

[woodward502]

You can't spell and no doubt were a glimmer in your fathers eye when the original came out. I saw them live in London 1969. April Wine takes a back seat to no band. Cheers.

[lundkd10]

Went to this show in Madison, WI. w/ Eddie "Shakin" Money. What a show!!!!

[IowaRocker1]

I thought Nazareth was on the bill as well.

Recall the date on this? I know KCRG showed the concert.

[uncledutchie]

Dude, I was at this show -way back... Lots of fun.  Do you remember who else was on the bill?

[fretbuzz1]

Steve Lang brought this cover over from his days in Devotion. A great Toronto band that he played bass in. It consisted of Mike Blechta (sp) on keys and Terry Hatty on vocals. They recroded a 4 song demo in 75 or 76 but it just didn't happen for them. What a shame. Larry Gowan took all his stage moves from Terry.
