Robbie Bachman, drummer for BTO, has died at 69.
Randy Bachman, older brother and guitarist for BTO, said
Another sad departure,” Randy Bachman tweeted last night. “The pounding beat behind BTO, my little brother Robbie has joined Mum, Dad & brother Gary on the other side. Maybe Jeff Beck needs a drummer!
We saw BTO at Winterland in San Francisco back in April 1976 (BTO/Wishbone Ash/Styx). We actually went for Styx (Yes we did and do like them! 😛). We watched Styx and Wishbone Ash. We intended to leave when BTO came on. After the first couple of songs, we decided to stay. They put on a great show and had the whole hall on their feet.
Let's go with a classic! 🎸
Brother Tim Bachmann died today at 71. RIP.
I saw BTO at the CNE in Toronto in 1975. They were the warm up for The Beach Boys! Total contrast in musical styles but boy did they rock.
