I was lucky enough to be born in one of the American towns that border Canada, and even luckier that trooper performed in my little town once. Canadian rock is my soul!
Lived in North Dakota all my life and had the privilege of listening to Trooper and many other great Canadian bands on Winnipeg radio stations. Great music!
Vocals , instruments & Talent..Nothing has even come close to music from 70,s - 80,s..good music and we always knew who was in our bed. Record stores ruled outside of pool halls .Trooper Rocks on forever.
Thanks and I agree, we Canucks have had some truly AWESOME Bands....a couple newer ones that aren't too bad either but nothing like our Bands in the 70's - 80's era
Saw them in Maple Leaf Gardens, early 70's: first encore took about 5 minutes of applause, 2nd encore took about 10 minutes of applause, THEIR 3RD ENCORE TOOK ABOUT 25 MINUTES!!! I sat down at about the 15 minute mark and told my group " no way they're coming out again" BUT THEY DID " SAID WE WERE THE BEST AUDIENCE THEY HAD EVER HAD" AND PLAYED FOR ANOTHER 30 MINUTES. CHEERS
And prism run heat even though recorded in Seattle Guess who and my list just goes. I have 3 boxes of albums for sale 1k each and they all come with something special. More in those gifts than all the albums combined.
Wow! Memories or what!, back in the day (we're talking high school) weekends was roller skating at Stardust, the DJ always sent this song out to all the girls here tonight that are 13 dressed up to look 19!! I was in between somewhere!!! I'm now 51!! Still love it, like yesterday!!
Not only did Canadian bands write great songs and record/perform them . Kudos to the folks in the recording booth for putting it all together . Hail to Little Mountain Sound And Mushroom Studios
Trooper was the first band I ever saw live,at a bar called Smooth Herman's in Cape Breton,Nova Scotia(Aboot 1993). I bought the ticket off a friend for three dollars,she had paid a five dollar cover for it. Until the internet came along,it was the best musical bargain I'd had.
Most of the music I listen to is from the seventies, my opinion the best music of all time and the majority of the band's are Canadian, the talent these bands share and the joy they have given us will live on
A well known and liked Canadian band from my youth. This song is probably my favorite by Trooper, even more than the played on the radio stations to DEATH 'Raise A Little Hell'.
Saw Trooper in 82 or 83 in a bar in Surrey, BC. It had a country bar upstairs and rock n roll downstairs. Trooper was getting chunks of the ceiling falling from the bass guitar! It was a helluva night! Love Trooper! Canadian icons...they don't make em like this no more.
I don't think I ever knew this song as a kid, but I'm really enjoying it now! Also, when I started hearing this on the radio, I learned who sang it. Shortly after, I couldn't remember if it was Trooper or Chicago...
Yes one of the best bands playing! They made a song for Prince Rupert & and another for a fishing boat that took out fishing out of Prince Rupert British Columbia, Canada
I'm in a bar right now with a work-mate from Germany. The waitress is good looking from afar but far from good looking. I called her a 3 dressed up as a 9... he asked me to explain this phrase, so I played him this video/song. He can't stop laughing and keeps singing it whenever she's in sight. He's emphasizing the nine as NEIN (German for NO) It's only a little embarrassing but a LOT hilarious !!
exactly.... and conforming to expectations. supertramp and heart are two examples of american bands that were ignored until they played in canada and became immediatly popular, then they could not be ignored.
on the trans-canada highway system headin towards Nova Scotia; had this on in the car and when we showed up at bible hill trailer park (early filming location for trailer park boys, went to see every set and place; saw moneyvale) fucking KIM MITCHELL STARTED PLAYIN AFTER THIS - "Let's get drunk, do some drugs & get some mitchell going!" - Ricky
when this song came out I was going out with this girl...the song came on...and she said that song is about you...at the time...I took it as a compliment..because i was just using her..I was wasting her time.....I will never forget it..... TROOPER.>>>>Canadian Hall Of Fame Band
Great song! Trooper, correct me if I'm wrong, are from Vancouver. I wish I was Canadian, but I have Canadian ancestry. Trooper never got much notice down here in the States, but no song can better exemplify why the 70s and classic music are better than the rubbish we have now than this song. The lyrics are so clever and Ra MacGuire has an amazing voice. I love having bands like the bands I love where I can get a shocked look from people who think that modern rubbish is anything like music. Let me make one thing clear, however, there is really good music being made that sounds like real rock and roll, but it's gone into the underground. I mean the garbage masses of people listen to and think they are cool. There are a lot of 3s dressed up as 9s!
These guys must have played every nightclub and 3000 seat hockey rink in Canada ; i saw them a few times and one night at 3;30 AM at Mr.Submarine sandwiches i met the guitarist eating a sub
I love this song , my fave one of theirs , anyway i would just like to say my opinion , trooper had certain songs that were so top 40 commercially great that if they would of first released out of L.A and not canada at that time they probibbly would of been alot more well known worldwide .
I heard this song in the backseat of my dad's Chrysler, that my brothers stole to go cruising...lol...I was 10, and song was playing on an 8 track, memories of my childhood

Good to my American friends enjoying good music.

@ScoobiezFDM : They are all from Vancouver...are you thinking of April Wine?
Canada had a lot of good bands.
I was just going to say that
Thanks and I agree, we Canucks have had some truly AWESOME Bands....a couple newer ones that aren't too bad either but nothing like our Bands in the 70's - 80's era
Canada does..........The Tragically Hip being the best.

These guys are playing River Cree tomorrow night the place is sold out !!!
Trooper is by far one of the best Canadian bands ever
And prism run heat even though recorded in Seattle
Guess who and my list just goes. I have 3 boxes of albums for sale 1k each and they all come with something special. More in those gifts than all the albums combined.
I got to see prism last year lol and im going to trooper this year 😂@jeffyoung-li7ic
Saw them twice. Once as a back up and once as a main band. They rocked both times.
Wow ... lead singer & back up vocals from heaven ... truly unique song !!!
She did look a whole lot better from 20 feet away.
SO good! Trooper is one of the BEST bands in history, not just Canadian.
bikeracer6045 Agreed...
Alongside Triumph and Rush
@@gixxusmetalman7435 Completely agreed. Add Ian Thomas, BTO, & TGW in2 the mix.
@@williambandyk327 u 4got Das hip
@@100canadianmaplestirup8 Not xactly. Although The Tragically Hip is a gr8 band, their style doesn't jive w/me (kinda like Rush in some aspects).
Canadian arena rock. Oh yeah baby, you should have been so lucky to have been 19 in 1978 Ontario.
I was 16!!!
@@Zooeybabe Even better!
great fantastic song ,,, proud to be canadian ! great rock and lyrics!
Saw them last night at Kemptville Live with loverboy and honeymoon suite. They all sounded amazing. I was glad to finally see this legendary band.

This is the first time I ever heard this song I love it.
Brian Bugg my first time hearing it

I saw them at the moon in halifax,about a hundred times it feels like. Packed every night they played!
Most of the music I listen to is from the seventies, my opinion the best music of all time and the majority of the band's are Canadian, the talent these bands share and the joy they have given us will live on
i still rock the Trooper , wicked band!
Got it on vinyl saw them in Powell River B.C great concert!!!!!
saw trooper in Kamloops..when i was 15..friggin DECENT !
I was so amazed as a young perveyour of rock and roll to see so many canadians representing
A well known and liked Canadian band from my youth. This song is probably my favorite by Trooper, even more than the played on the radio stations to DEATH 'Raise A Little Hell'.
Makes ya just that little bit more proud to be Canadian,
Yep! For sure. : )
+Linda S. I get to see em in concert on the 24th. To excited one of the few bands I like enough songs for to want to go see.
Yup

This and Janine , the two best by Trooper , even if raise a little hell got more air time . The song Janine paints a picture in you mind
Brings back memories of hearing this on my parents radio when I was like 7 years old!! Great tune!!!

I remembered when I clean at Eddie's In St Thomas Ontario They invited me for a beer upstairs Awesome group
Trooper lives in Vancouver, but are from Dawson creek . Bc .
I can't find any info to back this up.
Trooper is one of the greatest Canadian bands. Canada musicians are not recognized as much in the U.S.A. Why?
Don Bennett Its all about buy American.
exactly.... and conforming to expectations. supertramp and heart are two examples of american bands that were ignored until they played in canada and became immediatly popular, then they could not be ignored.
@@johndoe-ln8fj Supertramp aren't American though.
timeless!!!!
Awesome sounds and songs
This meme predates social media. Canada for the win. 🍻
