Why is it that these “Canadian Music” programs never show the incredible talents of some great bands from the 1970’s that really helped shape the music industry here. The group LIGHTHOUSE didn’t get a mention in this new program. Another groundbreaking musical group that seems to get a “two second” mention at times is CROWBAR. Enough of the POPPY FAMILY or some others that did the Top 40 or America embraced. Groups such as LIGHTHOUSE, CROWBAR and others had incredible talent and a fanbase that included many other international musicians. Where is all the old video recordings that included these bands on television, for example, the “Maple Music Junket”. This is footage that should be found, remastered and shown, if it hasn’t already been thrown out to the trash. God knows, it may have been taking up shelf space where another Beatles foibles could sit. This “JUNKET” was one Canadian musical highlight that brought the world to our doorstep. Also footage of Canadian Bandstand, etc.
P.S; This rant’s been building for quite sometime.
Where can I get a copy of the Dutch Mason band performing “Move Up To The Country”?. They played about 15 seconds of it in this documentary and it gave me goosebumps. I can’t even seem to find the same copy of the song. It seems like this tv performance was a bit of a once-off version of this song and the normal one doesnt compare, especially the harmonica player.. WOW! Dutch Mason band rocks! I’m gonna move on down to florida!
What I found incredible when I watched The Beat Goes On was that clip of Dutch Mason. What was even more surprising was seeing my dad (Gregg “Phish” Fancy) playing in the video as well. Dad was Dutch’s bass player for almost a decade. Really amazing to see it.
The end of “Rise Up” seemed to imply an episode based on 1990s Canadian music would follow. I wonder when/if such an episode will be released?
could you please send me the footage of canadian bandstand i cannot seem to find any on this site like it says thankyou
