FYI, Rick Downey was a pro drummer for years before he worked for BOC. first as a drum roadie, then rd mngr & light designer. he then rd mngd bands like Motely Crue & Anthrax

Buck's wife made the gold suit... when your wife makes something for you to wear onstage, you wear it... as any married man will tell you!!!

How do I know all this stuff??.. I worked for the band almost 20 yrs... that's my voice doing the intro on this clip...Hollywood fla 10/9/81

Never met or worked with better people..

One of most bad ass riffs ever written. BOC need more mention in the great acts of their generation. Lots of rock bands today could learn a thing or two from these dudes.

This song is the forerunner of hardcore punk and speed metal

Canadian mounted baby, a police force that works Red and black, that's their color scheme Get their man, in the end It's all right (repeat four more times) Oh yeah my honey knows it's all right It's all right (repeat four more times) Oh yeah my baby knows it's all right C'mon little husky Frontenac Chateau baby I'll cross the frontier at ten Got a whip in my hand baby And a girl or a husky at leather's end

I saw them in concert 3 times and they always cooked! This version is one of the best. I still like the original too from the Tyranny and Mutation album.

This is the best BOC concert on video I've ever seen. It originally aired on an MTV "Saturday Night Concert" back in the day. I've been looking for it ever since. Thanks for posting.
