Thanks!
Yeah, I think they definitely should have been bigger in the US.
I was having a discussion with my Dad and from the way it sounds, they were really big in North Dakota in the early 80s. Must have been because of our proximity to Canada.

Bah, there's probably a few songs of theirs you liked back in the day, you just didn't know they were April Wine.![]()

Love April Wine. Just saw them last year and they still kick major butt! Saw them and Triumph quite a few times back in the day here. Myles Goodwin reminds me a lot of Rik Emmett, VERY talented and very underrated. Thanks for sharing your pics and great review too.![]()
Two of my favorites.......![]()

From my favorite April Wine cd "First Glance". Great cd.
Followed closely by "Harder, Faster" and "Whole World's Goin' Crazy"

LOL, time to plan strategic visits to the hubby.Probably will look into Nazareth and April Wine...........and that Lee Aaron/Prism one. Saw Lee Aaron years ago, she got into singing jazz for awhile there, but now back singing some of her rock again. She's got a great voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQufqVoTGZQ
BTW, great shot of MH in your AV.

Well actually hubby's coming back next week (which is a good thing, except then he's in for back surgery a couple weeks later). Oh well - I will be coming for TSO for sure, won't miss that one.
When we first moved here, I couldn’t believe some of the good concerts at our little arena – Dr. Hook. Trooper, Harlequin, April Wine, etc. Hell – we even had Alice Cooper here. Now they’ve changed management, there were promises of big names to come – but the biggest we’ve had since then is Emerson Drive (whoever the hell they are, some Canadian country band). We do get some treats at the summer festival though - Colin James a couple of times, and others - but not full concerts.
