Hard to believe 1973 was 50 years ago. This was prime time for me ! Fred McKenna was a Canadian gem as was Harry Hibbs. God rest their souls.

Exactly. I was 23 in 1973, the world was before me.

Was three years old when this was happening and love all the songs

As A Kid my mom bought me a few of Harry Hibbs Albums LPs in the day and I learned how to sound just like he did on my button Accordion Diatonic hohner he was an amazing musician too bad we lost him so early in his life.

I used to work with Harry when we both worked for sears canada Harry was a good guy and I for one was very saddened bby his death we lost a good muscian when we lost him

I bet you there's folks in Ireland who have Harry Hibbs in their record collections. This same people who like Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers and the Dubliners would love Harry Hibbs .

That is a treat to see both Harry Hibbs and Fred McKenna performing together.

My sister from Toronto came here to Australia with H.H. Records for us. What a band! Shame he died so young.

Loves our traditional music proud to be a newfie

We live in British Columbia now since '69 from Nova Scotia but loved all Atlantic Music especially music from Newfoundland/Labrador. Love Diane's singing.

wow I was there had a ball..thank you for taking me down memory lane. Great old times! 🎹🎶🎼💛🇨🇦

I also get a kick out of the Newfie way of dancing as compared with the Irish. They were certainly leaving enough room for the Holy Ghost being so far apart.

Such talent. Wow!

First time i seen this youtube posting. Lots of memories ,not of the Caribou club but of Harry's music. A NEWFOUNDLAND icon along with John White, Dick Nolan, A Frank Willis,Joan Morrisey and lots of talent in today's ERA - Peter Jacobs, etc.. Fred Mckenna too was superb. Had to be a great spot for Newfoundlanders and others back then. Greetings from the east coast of Nfld. to all. Keep Newfoundland music alive-I dont think there is another province in Canada with so much traditional music talent.

Reminds me of some some pretty good house bands in the Clubs of Newfoundland in 70's to early 90's- Most have gone to a better place. God love em all.

Freddy McKenna and some of his friends were with my family one time, and they went to Dark Harbour to see the sunset. Someone in the group asked what direction that was. Freddy said, where he grew up, the sun set in the west. Quite a put down to be told what direction you are looking in by a blind man.

The very pretty female singer puts me in mind of Anne Hathaway.

Watching this great music again. Just wondering -with the youngest people in the band and audience in their 20's then, how many are alive today? Could someone who was at the show that night, please reply if you read my question.

Jeff Glover I believe it is a Hohner BC tuning diatonic Accordion.

Sudbury

Hi, What model accordion did Harry Hibbs play and what key was it in?

Who's the blind gentleman? He has a unique way of playing his instruments for sure.

I can't say one way or another, but as a button accordion player I can say that it's definitely way easier/ more comfortable to play sitting down!

Originally Harry was injured the first time he appeared in public but that was not the reason. It is quite a workout to stand, sing and play for as much as an hour without sitting Jenny. Harry used a custom made stool on most occasions. Thank you for your question.
