BACHMAN AND TURNER WITHOUT THE OVERDRIVE!
I was on vacation and watched the last half of this concert on a local PBS station in my hotel room. It was jaw-dropping! The next morning, I looked it up on-line at Amazon and ordered it! The concert was fantastic! I did not realize how talented C.F.(Fred) Turner is! He is a very underrated Bass guitarist (but then Bass players usually are, unless you are Geddy Lee of Rush!). I am a huge fan of the Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive. Bachman and Turner's greatest hits make up the majority of the concert; Not Fragile and Blue Collar were fabulous; a couple of OK new songs, an OK rendition of American Woman (one of my favorite Guess Who songs!) and I was absolutely stunned when Randy Bachman called Paul Shaffer to the stage to play on Shakin' All Over (great song!), Roll on Down the Highway (Turner is as good as ever on vocals!) and the finale Takin Care of Business. They did not play Gimme Your Money Please! If you are a fan of Randy Bachman (The Guess Who or B.T.O.) you...
Solid show from Bachman and Turner
A good DVD of a late 2010 gig put on by Bachman and Turner. Turner's voice is a little rough but works pretty well in the live setting. The band sounds good. Only the audience, who seems half-asleep (kinda strange for a New York audience, isn't it?), is puzzling here. Despite the audience only coming out of their zombie-esque state for the encore "Takin' Care of Business," Bachman, Turner and their colleagues turn in a fine effort. Fans of BTO, Bachman & Turner and Bachman's guitar playing will be pleased.
Classic Rock & Roll
Ordered the SD from Bachmans web site many Months ago (shipped from Canada). This title is a great gig of good old rock and roll. If you like BTO's stuff get this one.
