Crowbar was a Canadian rock band based in Hamilton, Ontario, best known for their 1971 hit "Oh, What a Feeling". ==History== From 1969 to 1970, most of the members of the group had been a backup band for Ronnie Hawkins under the name "And Many Others". However, in early 1970, he fired them, saying "You guys are so crazy that you could fuck up a crowbar in three seconds!" They recorded their first album in 1970, called ''Official Music'', as ''King Biscuit Boy and Crowbar''. King Biscuit Boy left the band later in 1970, but continued to appear off and on, as a guest performer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crowbar )〕 In 1971, the band recorded a performance at Massey Hall, in Toronto, which was released as a double album, ''Larger than Life (And Live'r than You've Ever Been)''. The concert, billed as "An Evening of Love With Daffodil Records" was co-produced by concert promoter Martin Onrot and Toronto radio station CHUM-FM. A number of guests appeared with Crowbar at Massey Hall, including members of Lighthouse, Dr. Music, and Everyday People. King Biscuit Boy also returned to perform with his former bandmates. The recording and release of the album is significant as being the first time a Canadian band had recorded and released a "live in concert" album. Crowbar disbanded in 1975, but was revived in 1977, minus Jozef Chirowski, who had joined Alice Cooper's band. The band performed intermittently during the 1980s.〔 Recently, Crowbar has played shows around Hamilton, Ontario, including a performance at their induction into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crowbar (Canadian band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
