April Wine performs their hit rocker "Before the Dawn" (featuring Brian Greenway on lead vocals) at the University of Reading in Reading, Berkshire England, for a 1980 BBC telecast of "Rock Goes to College". Guitarist/bandleader Myles Goodwyn states in this telecast that it's April Wine's very first concert in Great Britain... which took place shortly after the release of the band's 1979 "Harder Faster" album. Seen in this clip, is April Wine's most famous (three guitar) hay-days lineup; Brian Greenway, Myles Goodwyn, Gary Moffet, Jerry Mercer (drums), and Steve Lang (bass). They like to rock!

  • I love the guitar in this. Feels a bit like ELP at the beginning, but is a true AW classic! Love this. Thank you so much for posting. min :-)

  • What a great song. Has all the cool 1970's style hard rock guitar work all in one song. I remember seeing these guys open for Nazareth around 1980 or so and was blown away. We were saying "who are these guys?"
