Thanks for posting this video. Saw PB a couple of years ago. Tom Lavin was the only original member left. They still sound great (Lavin is awesome) but its hard to duplicate the original PB dynamics. Just look at the talent! Makes a guy want to go back in time and appreciate the band just a bit more...
Though Gord Bertram played baritone on the original recording of this, I 'm pretty sure that's not him in this video. The profile resembles Bill Runge, who played a lot of baritone around Vancouver and even played bass with TPBB at one point. CKUA used to have a program back in the mid to late eighties, Black Tie and Blues (???). TPBB appeared on that show a number of times, I'm sure.
Man some great music used to come out of Vancouver. - Payolas, Doug and the Slugs, Jim Byrnes, Randy Bachman, John Baldry, Brian Adams, Barney Bentall, Chilliwack, even Loverboy and Trouper i suppose. who did I miss?
As for (c)rap, it's strictly the haven for no-talent thugs, pimps and ex-drug dealers who are laughing all the way to the bank at stupid white kids making them rich... and is NOT taken seriously when discussing great musicians, singers and songwriters.
