hey guys
i don't know if anyone has any info on this...
but april wine is a big canandian rock and roll band. some great music...
they have a tune called 'i like to rock'
and i am quite positive that the song ends with satisfaction by the stones, mixed with day tripper by teh beatles.
the video i found on youtuve has pretty brutal sound, but i think you can hear it. fast forward to around 4:00 in.
what do you think?

Yup, sounds like Day Tripper over the Satisfaction riff. Two great old riffs on top of eachother. Kinda clever.

April Wine = opening band at El Mocambo 1977 (I think).

"No Anchovies, Please"

Classic stuff for oldtimers like Elmo & undersigned.
Glad ya brought them up. Will listen to the tune later,
Almost 25 years ago since I last heard them.

A couple of good tunes that I know of - "Roller" AKA "High Roller" and "Just Between You And Me".

"No Anchovies, Please"

they did open for the stones at the elmo and the helped out the stones 1972 show in montreal when a bomb went under their truck with speakers and all the cones were blown.
April Wine is the music of my youths.
they opened for the stone on july 4 1978 at rich statium in buffalo

Montreal radio station CHOM-FM used to play the living bejeezus out of this song by April Wine back in the late 70s, I used to love the Satisfaction/Day Tripper riff medley at the end...
