A bunch of us were at this show. Seen many shows over the decades but this intro was one of the best,got the crowd into a frenzy,the place was going bonkers. If familiar with ''Before the dawn'' really felt that explosion I can tell ya.
It was sad news of Myles passing,RIP.
One musical regret I have is not seeing them, I am a music nut, and love supporting Canadian bands when I can...had just mentioned to my wife the other day that April Wine is one of the bands that I played to hell growing up and never got to see!
Not a big fan of seeing re-hashed bands with new vocalists...we have several local examples of these; The Guess Who, Streetheart....players are all great but hearing Streetheart without Kenny Shields or Guess Who without Burton just doesn't cut it for me.
Needless to say I will not be going to see April Wine without Myles Goodwyn. I know he had been away for awhile already.
Trooper is another Cdn band that if I'm not mistaken, has few if any original members.
Bad Company without Paul Rodgers....not a chance. Foreigner without Lou Gramm...nope.
