Bachman & Turner

These guys took me back to 1972 because they sound like 1972.You got it see it.

Rock Legends Bachman-Turner @ Emerald Queen Casino 04-11-2014 Wow! Classic Rock and Roll Legends rocked Tacoma @ The emerald Queen Casino in Tonight for about 95 Minutes of hard hitting fantastic and pulsing Rock and Roll kick ass music! Randy Bachman even did a song from his other band "The Guess Who", and they were celebrating 40 years as a band! $4 cocktails that You can drink in the seats, and I even bought their most current cd! We stopped at "Sampan" after the show for another round a nice Duet with Heather Reese and DJ Miss Kitty! 2 Fabulous encores "Let it ride" and "Takin' care of Business"! GREAT SHOW! \u2014 at Emerald Queen Casino

It was straitforward with no frills rock and roll except for the fact that Randy Bachman took a few excursions into Jazz territory (that I'm not that much into) but he mixed it up with blues) and I was tripped out that he did Stayed Awake All Night by Krokus which really blew me away, there was a lot of stuff that he covered that I hadn't heard in years. I'd like to see it again but that's pretty much hard to do but it was worth the whole $30 that I spent for the ticket. I was stunned by the size of that bass guitar that Fred Truner was playing, the neck on that thing was massive, and I'd like to know the specs on it. I was watching him through a pair of binoculars and I couldn't see a name on the upper neck anywhere so it must have been custom made. Mr. Bachman is a virtuoso in his own right.

My husband and I were very disappointed. Although the 2 warm up bands were good, we were there to see B&T. Their sets were shorter than the other 2. The changeover was lengthy and seemed amateurish. The evening was too long. The venue was too cold, and the seats were too hard.

It was great to See Bachman & Turner together again. Fred Turner can still sing and he cranked it out for a few songs. There was some great guitar playing in the show and the band put it together well. Paul Rodgers put on a really good show as you can see in his enthusiasm while he performs.

Two amazing bands in one night - terrific! Enjoyed both bands playing some oldies and some new songs. My one disappoint was the hour long concert by Bachman and Turner, albeit far from their control given how long the opening singer took and then the taking down and setting up of equipment inbetween. Otherwise, a great time was had! On another note, my daughter spoke with security about the butthead sitting beside me who was agitated and in a fighting mood because people ahead of us wouldn't sit down. Security did nothing. Making their presence known by standing in the aisle might have been a preventative measure. They didn't even notice that his agitated mood was perhaps from what he snorted. Does security protect the band(s), or both the band(s) and audience?

Paul Rodgers held his own - almost a 90 minute set and he still missed playing some of his great Bad Company songs like "Rock Steady" and "The Way I Choose" . Bachman-Turner played every hit that I knew, so overall, a pretty satisfying concert.

First of all, you have to understand the importance of this reunion. Randy Bachman and Fred Turner haven't been together in this capacity in 20 years give or take. This is a reunion that the die hard fans have been dreaming of for years. But, they are not just rehashing old songs. We were lucky enough to get a new album with a few great cuts! This show was amazing from the opening note of "Roll On Down The Highway" to the last beat of "Takin Care Of Business". They played every hit in between. Fred's voice is still there and Randy's playing has only improved. It gave me goosebumps to hear them together again. Simply put, this is a MUST SEE show for any BTO or Randy Bachman fan.

What a fun and great show. Randy Bachman and Fred turner still have it. They played all of BTO hits, along with American Woman. They also have a new CD out which they played a few songs,,,we were so impressed we bought the new CD. We go to several live shows a year, and this one ranks up high,,,especially with a smaller venue, and the sound and accoustics were great. Would definitely go see them again in the future!!

You cannot beat seeing one of your favorite all time bands in a setting like the Coach House.

Being a child of the 70s and early 80s I remember all 3 of these groups well. It was a blast from the past and a great show!

Its nice to see real BANDS again. First.... Thank You to all 3 bands, "Foghat" Your music was like stepping back in to the smoke." Smoke on the Water" was awesome. "Blue Oyster cult" Rock!! on New York. Thanks guys for some older True Metal. Rock On," BOC" "Bachman & Turner" You said at the begaining of theshow, you put in Overdrive. And you did just that. You took taking us back to Ever Ever Land. Where on Rock& Roll' all 3 bands did just that. Thank You, "Hawkeye"

Spectacular night of blazing, guitar driven rock and roll!!! Foghat opened up with a killer set, Blue Oyster Cult was next up and , as always, delivered the goods. Bachman Turner headlined and they were tight. Amazing show by all 3 bands!!! I can't emphasize enough how great these guys sounded. There was a large crowd on hand and I think everyone went home happy.

Seeing pretty much any band for $28 bucks a head is a bargain, but when its 3 bands - AND the 3 bands are legends of rock - it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Foghat still has it...that driving rock that made them famous. After about an hour show with Foghat, it was hard to imagine that the night could get better, but it did. Blue Oyster Cult hit the stage next, sounding just like they did in the day. Watching them onstage reminded me of how musically intricate they are, especially when compared to the electronic-enhanced music of today. Their guitar work was outstanding, and the voices are still smooth as silk. Finally, Bachman & Turner took the stage. Although they were clearly older and moving a little slower, they still know how to rock. All in all, it was a great show!

Blue Oyster Cult still rocks. Foghat was really good too. Bachman Turner should have opened the show.

Great concert! I could spend the night rocking with Buck Dharma and BOC.

Unbelievable night of Rock n Roll. All three groups were outstanding.

Excellent bands with little time to play. Still managed to play lesser known hits before playing there mega's. Bachman & Turner played many unknown hits to the crowd. And tons of people were walking out. They waited to the last two songs to play there power houses. Blue Oyster Cult engaged the crowed from start to finish. Foghat started of strong then weakened then ended powerful.

All in all the guys still have it. Everyhting sounded great. Was very pleased with all three groups!!!

It concert was better than anticipated. Musicians were extraordinary. Pure pleasure for rockers of all ages.

Even though I was not familiar with many of Foghat and Blue Oyster Cult tunes except for their biggest hits, they (especially Foghat) put on a great show. I loved every tune they played. Then Bachman Turner came on stage and brought the house down. The crowd really came alive and the place was jumping. Great concert !

Great hard-driving classic rock & roll. Superb guitar work by all the bands. A must-see for young and young at heart. This is the way we did it in the 70's - real rock. These guys are polished.

The show was good. Blue Oyster Cult was great and I would have liked to see them play a longer set. They were the highlight of the evening. BT and Foghat were fun too. BT set was alittle long though

they all still rock and the celeste center has a great sound no matter where your seats are. what a great show and get to support the Ohio State Fair youth makes it even better.

The show was great. All of the bands did a great job with their acts. It is great to hear the older bands still have what it takes to perform and people young and old still love their music.

Foghat and Blue Oyster Cult were awesome. Same energy as from the 70's. Bachman Turner came out and we thought there was a sound system problem. Then realized it was their tired, feeble voices. The concert was fun, a great trip down memory lane, but Blue Oyster Cult could have been the headliner. We left early after BT got through only three songs.

GREAT SHOW and MUSIC!!!!! We had great seats and ROCK-N-ROLL!!!

They were all 3 great!!!!! we enjoyed all 3 groups

I really went to see Blue Oyster Cult and thought they would no doubt be the Headliner and they were Outstanding but B.T.O. Rocked the house ,,, Totally forgot about all the Big Hits they had and they sounded Amazing just like they did 30 plus years ago !!!!!

Totally awesome. Great old time rock and roll all three bands had everyone on their feet singing along with the bands. Bachman playing the guitar with a drum stick and all of foghat was totally awesome. First time at the celeste center and we will definitely be back for more great shows like this one for sure.

Foghat came out strong and played all of their hits , played well to the crowd , and was impressive . I thought that Blue Oyster Cult didn't play up to a less than average set . I came mainly to see them , as I have seen them many years ago several times . Slightly disappointing . Bachman Turner Overdrive was AMAZING . The fact that the 2 main singers, Randy Bachman and Fred Turner can put so much energy into a set that included most of their hits , Takin care of business, Let it Ride , 4 wheel Drive , etc , and at their age . I had never seen BTO in the 1970s , the peak of the band's career . If you have a chance to see these bands , don't pass it up . You may bever get the chance again .

I was amazed at how good each group performed, especially blazing guitars. The night made me feel like I was back in the 70s and it felt great.

The sound was terrible. Need to update the sound system or have the shows elsewhere. The bands were good to see but I expected better. Almost forgot, there were a total of two types of t-shirts left after Foghat played! Whats up with that? This was bad planning on someone's part.

I was so impressed with the level of all three bands. All three put 0n amazing performances! Didn't get to see them live in the seventies. I am certain that what I saw Saturday was as good as if not better that any performances back in the "day"!

This was better than I expected. Foghat, Blue Oyster Cult and Bachman &Turner Ll sounded great. The guitar playing was excellent. Very entertaining.

Saw bto 38 years ago in Kamloops and their voices are as clear and strong as then. spectacular show. I have rediscovered Barney Bentall as well.

Randy Bachman and Fred Turner still have it going on. Best of BTO & a little of the early Guess Who

Randy's guitar and Fred's bass are a must see what a awesome concert. Hard to pick favorites every song rocked classic rock at it's very finest!!!

Good mix of the old tunes everyone remembers. Sound was great and not too loud. It was nice to have reserved seats and not just a spot standing on the floor like some venues have. Plus the opportunity to get drinks right on the event level! No opening act and no intermission, straight unadulterated rock, just takin' care of business!

All I can say is "wow". These guys still got it. They sounded great, voices just like back in the day. If anybody out there has not seen them lately get up get out and go see them. You will not be disappointed.

BTO was good. They played some of there classics, "Rolling on down the Highway", "Not Fragile" which is one of my favorite songs. Randy can still play the axe like anyone else. Turner he still has that distinctive sound from his voice that you know thats BTO. They got a 4 star from me. I enjoyed it ,very cool show.

What a show!!! I really loved hearing my old favorite songs sung by the guys who made them famous! It was an awesome evening of music, the band was top notch. I was disappointed that they only played a total of 1 1/2 hrs of music, it was over way too soon. But they are old guys so I guess I understand that. The Ticketmaster website showed this was held in the ball room, so we didnt know the concert was going to be held outside until we got there. This was a bit of a surprise and we weren't prepared to sit outdoors. I had to purchase a sweatshirt at the gift shop in the casino so I wouldn't freeze, and luckily the weather held and it was really a nice evening for an outdoor concert. But I sure would have liked to have known that up front.

These guys exceeded my expectations and then some. Honestly, I did not expect the show I got. I figured this may be the last time I'd be able to see these rock legends in person so I'd just go see them. But WOW!!! These guys can still rock it. They can still vocalize the songs and damn, can they play the guitars. Holy crap!!! Bachman is truly a magician. So glad I went.

2 SHORT! I didn't want it 2 end!! For the last two songs they let us all move up close to the stage and sing & "ROCK OUT" with them!

These guys are great. I have waited my entire life to see these guys get back together again. They put on a great sounding show, true to the original songs, and they have a darn good time doing it. You can tell! Fred's voice is still spot on and Randy still plays and sounds great! They play a few songs of their new cd, but it's mostly BTO hits. You won't leave dissapointed!!!!!!

I admittedly went without any expectations other than a night out with my lady. The lights dimmed, the band came out and they started cookin.' Soon Bachman & Turner came out and they really brought it. My lady and I looked at each other in amazement and we were quite pleased. Two 70 year olds brought the house down. They were smoking hot.. Do yourself a favor and catch them if you can, you won't be disappointed...

The Bachman Turner concert was outstanding! I have been to the concerts of every version of BTO over the last 40 years and three times I have seen Bachman Turner. This was by far the best. They played with a hard edge I haven't heard the last couple of times I went to see them. Randy's lead solos were riveting.. such intensity. CF's vocals as always were top notch. Listening to him is such a treat! The whole band really seemed to put a lot of punch this time. Made me want more!!!

WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH THE CONCERT WISHED THEY COULD HAVE PLAYED ALL NIGHT, STILL WOULDN,T HAVE BEEN ENOUGH. GO SEE THEM IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE.

I've been to at least 15 BTO type concerts in their different lineups and rank this in my top 3 favorite ones!

It was great to see Bachman & Turner at the Cannery. Since high school, BTO was a band on my must see list, but I never got the chance. Now I can check them off the list. What made it great was the intimate setting of the Club at the Cannery. They sounded like I remembered and they didn't miss a beat.

41 years since their their first hit and the first time I saw them in concert. Randy Bachman and Fred Turner can still belt them out the tunes. It was an amazing concert. Just shy of two hours of all your favorites. If you like hard pounding 70's rock and roll you gotta go see them next time they are on tour.

great music, great stage mostly older people & im one of them! music never gets old though

BACHMAN TURNER are great! Took my wife and my two teenage daughters and had a really great tume. My daughters are into this tyoe of music that I grew up with - I am 57 and have a 12 and 14 year old, who love this, as well as other types of music, including more contemporary hip hop. I must say that despite their ages - they really sound like they did decades ago. Wish there was more background video and more of a show like the beginning showing truck through the desert. GREAT PERFORMANCE! Well worth the price of admission.

Randy Bachman plays like he's in his 20's Really enjoyed seeing them together

I remember they came out during my freshman year at university in Toronto and they are the zeppelin of Canada. So when I learn that they are playing in Vegas, I have got to see them as I never had the money back in college days. Their music is still great and Randy Bachman's was a better guitarist than I had expected. What is truly surprising is they still can sing and their voices have not tarnished at all. It was to be their last concert for the summer so their age did show as there was no interaction with any band members and months on the road has taken it's toll on these seniors. One thing that did bother me is that they are performers and entertainers and a little more than a worn out t shirts and ill fitting jeans would show that they cared about their audiences. Jagger still look the same and Tyler tries hard, Page looks as good as any 60's+ can, so does rod Stewart, Joe Walsh, Lindsay Buckingham, roger waters and many many others. It would be great to see that they put in the extra effort, maybe on their tour next year?

Blue Oyster Cult was the best then Foghat and th he Bachman Turner I enjoyed the whole concert.

Good grouping of bands, all of which were pumping out hard rock in the mid-1970's. Bachman & Turner and Blue Oyster Cult sounded great! Foghat played their hits, though the venue did not compliment their sound very well (it came off as loud, distorted noise). My biggest dissapointment was that, as the headliner, Bachman & Turner's set-list was shorter than that of other shows that I have seen them play, which was obviously the result of the promoter cramming 3 shows into a schedule that was best suited for only two.

Foghat opened with a soulful performance combining blues and that southern fried rock feel. Ending with a memorable performance of Slow Ride. Blue Oyster Cult music didn't translate as the best live music to me. To some, including my 21 year old daughter, they enjoyed BOC the best of all 3 bands. To me, other than Don't Fear the Reaper it wasn't a stand up and rock the house kind of performance. Richie Castellano is an amazing guitarist. BTO (Bachman Turner doOver) didn't disappoint. Opened with Let it Roll Down the Highway. Great experience as they played all the BTO favorites and even threw in some Guess Who. Voices have aged like us all, but the music is timeless. Ended with a crowd pleasing, crowd participation, Takin Care of Business. The crowd was up and helping with the lyrics. Music has a way of taking you back to a place in your life and BTO was a big part of that place. Randy using the drumstick to play guitar is great.

Didn't even hear about this show until 2 days before.......drove 3 1/2 hours to get there. WELL WORTH THE TRIP!! BOC fan from day one; never saw BTO live until now; what is left of Foghat still jams. Great show by all involved, check it out, you won't be sorry. PS did I mention we went backstage and met BOC? Great guys!

Love the music on cd, but they are unable to consistently carry a tune.

Foghat opened up and started rockin'...they did good, played most if not all their hits. Blue Oyster Cult came on and started slow, had a bass solo that rocked, then 70 year old Randy Bachman & Fred Turner started. They still got it! They sounded very good, played very good, worked the crowd like it was 1970's. Very impressive, very good entertainers. Old School Rock at its best!

Bachman Turner, Blue Oyster Cult and Foghat concert was a once in a lfetime experience ♫ I suggest if you have the chance to see them..GO! You will be glad you did..Thanks guys for the wonderful evening of great music from our past ♫

First time seeing Foghat, 3rd time seeing Bachman Turner, and like the 5th seeing Blue Oyster Cult. Enjoyed all three bands.

A show not to miss if it comes to your area. They played all the hits with some surprises thrown in. Each group exceeded expectations and had the crowd involved the entire show.

We thoroughly enjoyed seeing these wonderful musicians nearly 40 years after their first album. Their vocals, as well as their expertise on instruments is unmatched. Randy Bachman still commands EVERY guitar he plays and his vocals sound the same or better than in the past. Fred Turner is an accommplished musician and his vocals are still raspy and easily recognizable!!! I would see these guys EVERY DAY!!! Their band was fabulous: drummer was wonderful and the 2 guys on guitars were well-seasoned musicians: A-1 !!!!!!!

All 3 bands put on a terrific show - sound was great - Foghat, with it's new members did a good job with their hit list - Fool for the City was my favorite - Had never seen Blue Oyster Cult live before - did not realize their East Coast roots - guitar and harmony were outstanding - my favorite is Bachman Turner - Randy is amazing with the guitar riffs, and the vocals from both were clear and strong - still Takin' Care of Business !!!!

Awesome to see bands of this time period rocking it like they did in the 70's. By the passion that they all played with , truly obvious that they all love their rock and roll. Would go and see all three bands again, without a second thought.

All 3 bands were great! First time to see Foghat but used to play their music repeatedly, so it was great to hear Slow Ride in person. Fourth time seeing BOC in last couple of years and they are never disappointing. Bachman &Turner surprised me with the variety of their music. Loved the whole concert and would see them all again.

Blue Oyster Cult and Foghat were even better than expected. Bachman & Turner were the reason we booked, but they sung very little compared to instrumentals, so we were slightly disappointed in them. Overall a fun evening.

Generally, when a band opens for another act; it's usually because the following act is better. Not so in the case of Foghat opening the show for Blue Oyster Cult and Bachman-Turner. Foghat rocked! From everything to "I Just wanna Make Love to You", from "Fool for the City", and ending of course, with "Slow Ride". The entire crowd were on their feet! Blue Oyster Cult seemed to be somewhat of a let down. They appeared to be figuring out the set list as they performed. Perhaps, this was due to the fact that a new drummer from New York, was appearing with them for the first time.There were moments, during "Godzilla" and "Don't Fear the Reaper"' however; when the crowd appeared to enjoy it; but for the most part, it seemed to be a "lackluster" performance. When Bachman -Turner took the stage; Randy Bachman appeared to look tired or even ill. When he sang the first few songs, it sounded as if he had somewhat of a cold or sore throat. Nonetheless, the show went on and Bachman -Turner managed to prove to Central Ohio why they have been rocking for so long! The fierce lead guitar and drums in "Stayed Awake All Night", along with a blistering guitar solo played by Randy Bachman with a drumstick; mesmerized the crowd to the point of euphoria. They then tore into the infamous "American Woman", made famous when Randy Bachman was lead guitarist for the Guess Who back in the late 60's, early 70's. The entire crowd was singing and on their feet! Bachman-Turner hammered it home with "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"; "Let it Ride"; and three teasing starts of "Takin' Care of Business," as they ended the show with an audience sing along which definitely took care of business. They delivered a performance that was worthy of and one which earned them a standing ovation!

The reason I went ot this concert was because of Foghat, but BTO was again the better of the two, just like the Blue Oyster Cult and Foghat...the other band was better. Foghat was like at 1/2 volume and only a 40 minute set, just as you got comfortable it was over. Now BTO those guys really put on a great show and sound and volume was just right. People were really into them. BTO sounded as young as ever too! Hope your comeback is a doozy! Foghat I love ya, but you guys need work on sound and volume. Your drum used to go thru us and well as your guitars! I will keep going to your concerts too ;-)

Foghat was good but Bachman and Turner rocked out...these two guys are still fantasic after all these years. Turners voice is so authenic and Randy's guitar playing is unbelievable. I'm not sure why he has never been recognized as one of the top 20 guitar players in the rock n roll world. Personally I think he should be in the top 10 !!!!

these guys can still jam. Their voices and music sound as good as it dit back in the 80's.

My eighteen year old son observed that the bands of today couldn't hold a candle to the rock and roll bands of the 70's. I always want to hear more from Foghat, though.

C F Turner still sounds good. Sound quality was very good.

I have always love this venue and attend several events a summer ..my only disappointment is that the shows always end so early - 10 pm is quite early considering that the fair noise itself continues on much later

Old school Rock with Bachman-Turner... very entertaining, band looked like they were enjoying themselves. They still rock 40 years later. Not the show for the kids, but us old rockers were dancing and singing. A beautiful night under the stars in the beautiful Pacific Amphitheater.

BT played songs I had not heard in years, Great concert. Sound was great, voices sound as good as ever.

I love The Guess Who so obviously I enjoyed this concert. Bachman was amazing,so talented. They played all there big hits. The over 50 crowd was acting like they were in there 20's. Turner sounded great also. Highly recommend. Foghat had people on there feet too.. I would pay to see them again anytime.

What a great show! Fantastic guitars & great vocals.

Great night in So. Cal. The two bands were 'right on the money" It was a great time in an outdoor amphitheater on a balmy evening. The music was excellent and the bands were rocking. The frontman for Foghat was sexier than ever!

These guys kicked ass!!! I was expecting a good show but they gave a really great show!!!!! What more can I say I was very pleased that these guys played beyond my best expectations.

the veteran rockers still blow away the young generation!!! Bachman-Turner was in full overdrive Friday night!!! OUTSTANDING!!!!

Foghat was pretty good, needed to be alot louder. Bachman-Turner had speaker system alot higher then Foghat when they came on stage. Over all performance by both bands was just ok for me. When both bands sang their big hits crowd got loud, both sounded great, otherwise is was really average night for me.

I think the memories are better, but it was fun people watching.

Foghat opened up to a thin Orange County Fairgrounds crowd. The sound seemed to be pretty tame than I remembered from last years concerts. It appears that the surrounding neighborhoods have won the battle of the bands. It was obvious when I saw a laptop near the sound mixing area monitoring the decibel level. Whenever the sound went over 100 dB's the screen would turn red. Otherwise Bachman-Turner sounded pretty good for their age !

GREAT MUSIC SUPER SOUND IT WAS A FABULOUS NIGHT OF FUN

foghat not bad, bto was horrible........lost their voices and too much randy doing lead stuff and not playing much music

Better than they were in the 70's! Foghat (appearing before them) was awesome as well. Great night for old school Rock n" Roll! The crowd was cheering the whole way through. Too bad it was only one night, would have went again.......

Both bands were spot on perfection haven't skipped a beat since the 70's hope to see them next year..Loved it the crowd was Rockin!!!

BTO captures the timeless love of a true rocker for sending a special message thru his lyrics, then pounding that message home with a guitar which comes-to-a-life when the lights go on. The audience helplessly explodes with acceptance and the connection is made...forever, the musical message is embedded in your mind and you almost promise your soul, that you will never forget the experience.......

Bachman Turner was absolutely fanastic. The guitar playing was the best I have seen in a very long time. Off the hook incredible how they made the guitars sing. It was a different experience, much more mature crowd. Very refreshing though, no fights or fires or idiot drunks being escorted out. Just an adrenoline pumping fun time.

Randy played his guitar, like he was 20 years old, but with all the experience and talent, his guitar was walkin and talkin and screaming. They played a bunch of great hits. Could have played more hits. A couple songs were slow. American Woman was the best and the encore Taking care of Business rocked the amphitheater.

The evening was a fun one! Not too crowded. Kind of fun to see some old rocker fans :) to top it off the price was right... I will be seeing another concert at this venue again.

Tight musicianship from these veteran players and vocalists. Played their memorable songs along with some well placed not so recoginizable tunes that fit in nicely with the overall set list. Turner has not lost a lick on his gravelly vocal style and his six string bass playing was exceptional. Great combo to have Foghat open the show with their tight set of foot tapping rock hits!

Taking all things in consideration, they had a fun show!

totally awesome, loved it, had so much fun. next time at Pacific Amp, must sit closer

For old guys they killed it. We all have to grow old it is nice to know that we don't have to grow up.

Although they were the opening act, Foghat performed a great set Friday Night. BTO was overshadowed by Foghat. We were disappointed that Foghat did not play Wild Cherry.

It was a great show. My husband and I thourghly enjoyed it to the max. It was worth the two hour drive from Port Townsend. The seats were great. The buffet was excellent.
