When you look at setlists from back in the day, it’s incredible how short most gigs were.
I hate that no encores think, so gutting when all the lights come on.

This is one of my favourite songs period.
Agree.
I have seen some footage of their recent gigs with Frank Carter singing; looked excellent fun.

From the immensely talented GH.

Vive le football... LIBRE!
A few All-Canadian (English-only) entries:
Rockin', raunchy anti-Anericanism
Then, when The Guess Who broke up, lead guitarist Randy Bachman formed Bachman-Turner-Overdrive (BTO)
Powerful, epic song, based on real-life tragedy, with lyrics most poetic
Anthemic, 3-for-1 song recounting how the building of our railroad finally bound the country's provinces together, a mari usque ad mare.

Definite rock anthem
Another unforgettable beginning + build-up
You thought that Neil Diamond had written and sung this? No, it was Montréal's own Andy Kim, who was also The Archie's and did, like Neil, write for The Monkees.
Loverboy!

It’s in my dna, I’m hooked to melodies and harmoniew, so Reaper still does it for me. Similarly lots of The Who, Stones and Hawkwind tick my boxes, the acceptable side of rock.
(The Hungry Years would’ve been a living hell for me).
This is real. I saw them live. Epic.

The special late 70’s, so alive and creative.
