Customer Reviews:

Superb Live Collection.......2005-06-11

The songs included and the quality of recording are both great. This band has been together for 30+ years and still sounds great. Although not as well known in the States as in Canada, these guys have been doing a great job playing music for so many years. There are also two new songs, one of which "Strong Silent Type" is very catchy. For any Wine fan this is a must, however, you cannot go wrong with this CD whether you are a fan or not.

April Wine uncorked!.......2003-12-14

Nifty little surprise this one is! Whereas a lot of bands these days are touring under a moniker which will generate a few bucks, this is actually the band of the late 70's, early 80's heyday ie: Goodwyn, Greenway, Mercer, Clench and Carl Dixon (Coney Hatch) in place of Steve Lang. April Wine, was always a ceaseless touring unit, crossing the continent countless times, and live was their true element. The last few years, they have again made a name for themselves by putting on shows across Canada that convinced the jaded that these guys can still rock with a vengeance. With a catalog of 30 (30!) years of material to draw from they have a great setlist. Much expected ie: Roller, I Like to Rock, Oowatanite, Sign of the Gypsy Queen, All Over Town and some surprises such as 21st Century Schizoid from Harder Faster and Weeping Widow from Electric Jewels. Sound is clean and loud with a great mix from Jeff Nystrom of "Fist" fame. More live albums from bigger bands should sound this good. Topped off with a couple of new studio tracks that would have easily garnered air back in the day, this is a cool find. If yer a fan, buy with confidence.

WTF?! Where are their two big hits?!.......2006-09-08

What the frack is going on? "Sign of the Gypsy Queen" and "Just Between You and Me" were their two greatest hits (or possibly ONLY hits). Why aren't they on here? Very, very weird.

Great Canadian Band!! 5 Stars PLUS.......2004-06-03

Of course being Canadian I think April Wine is one of the best!! Being a teenager in the 70's I bought every April Wine album I could get my hands on!! This CD is great because it gives a good taste of the songs I listened to on all those albums in the 70's. If you are looking for some good April Wine tunes, buy this CD. You won't be disappointed!!

Of course I would like to buy every CD that I have in album from the 70's!!! Probably if I can find them on amazon.ca they will end up in my CD collection now!! This is just a excellent band and if you have never heard April Wine this CD would give you a variety of April Wine tunes. From some good ole rock & roll to tender love songs. I could go on & on about how this is a great band. Just check it out for yourself, you won't regret it!! This Canadian band rocks!!

A good recap of the band's 70's recordings.......2003-10-22

I bought this LP back in 1981 when April Wine were red hot with "Nature of the Beast". I thought they were a fairly new group but this LP (which had inner sleeve notes about what LP each track came from - the CD cheaply omits those) was a great introduction to the bands pre-Capitol Records era for American fans.

What impresses me most is they were able to pull off many styles from Hard Rock to big ballads to Power Pop convincingly and never lost thier edge or smarts. Theres a little sappiness in the ballads, but its not annoying or downright dull (like Journey in thier worst moments) and theres never any art-rock pretentiousness or overreaching (like Styx or Kansas). These guys were just a hard rock band who liked all kinds of music and werent afraid to experiment now and then.

I finally got a chance seeing April Wine play at the (now sadly demolished) Bronco Bowl back in 2000. They put on a great show to a packed house with members from the Dallas Stars hockey team and metal-thrash band Pantera among the crowd. Myles told everyone they had a request and played "Tonite Is a Wonderful Night To Fall in Love"... Most people didnt know the song, but I sang along LOUD anyway. This CD is the reason why!

Wino review.......2001-12-19

Being from Canada(eh),you could not help but hearing a great tune from this GREAT rock band.This compilation is taken mostly from older material which I think is some of there best stuff.Fast train is from thier 1st ever!The C.D.contains hard rockers and ends with a ballad which they are identified with in thier later tunes.Most anything from this band is good except maybe some poppier fluff from the late 80's and 90's.This C.D.would be a great one to start anyone off on the right path to enjoy APRIL WINE like I do and hopefully keep on rockin'!!

Outstanding easy listening Rock and Roll.......2001-07-11

A Great April Wine Concert Preserved For Posterity.......2003-09-04

GREATEST HITS LIVE is a great April Wine concert that has been preserved for posterity. It's no secret that these guys kicked up a rat's nest in concert, and this new CD offers further proof of that. Anyone wanting to hear a great use of three guitars outside of the Southern rock school should get this CD.
