They may be aging, but their songs are timeless.

That乌鸦传媒檚 the impression left by The Stampeders as they rocked the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre stage to a sold-out crowd of 750 Saturday night like it was the 乌鸦传媒�70s.

Comprised of the original trio of Ronnie King towing the bass line, Rich Dodson on his iconic double neck axe and B.C. boy Kim Berly with the kit, the lads rocked hits that took them to international acclaim in the 乌鸦传媒�70s, like the quintessential Stampeders track Sweet City Woman, which composer Dodson slid in without introduction.

Not that the track needs any introduction. Even without the foot-stomping banjo line, which Dodson intentionally rocked as if it was a classic six-string acoustic instead of the traditional plucking of the down-home tool, Sweet City Woman drew perhaps the biggest applause for a single song during The Stampeders entire two-set and roughly two-hour performance.

And, despite their grey hair and frequent pauses to rest their feet, the lads sound as sharp on their CanCon classic dittie as they did in 1973.

With King and Berly acting as stage leads, The Stamps didn乌鸦传媒檛 miss a beat, frequently jesting about their senior-hood.

乌鸦传媒淛ust want to let you know that he乌鸦传媒檚 (King) having a senior乌鸦传媒檚 moment,乌鸦传媒� laughed Berly. 乌鸦传媒淗e乌鸦传媒檚 mistaken that stool for a toilet.乌鸦传媒�

Their camaraderie on stage was apparent. Despite splitting in 1977 after reaching international heights, The Stampeders 乌鸦传媒� or, King suggested, Guys Without Waists 乌鸦传媒� regrouped in 1992 and continue to rock their classic hits and enliven the stage with a smooth combination of tunes and stand up comedy.

乌鸦传媒淲e乌鸦传媒檙e going to take you back to the 乌鸦传媒�70s,乌鸦传媒� said King, the ladies乌鸦传媒� man. 乌鸦传媒淪oon, someone乌鸦传媒檚 going to get naked. Next time it will be all in spandex.乌鸦传媒�

King, at his root, is an entertainer who busts his moves frequently before having a senior乌鸦传媒檚 moment and taking a seat mid Running Wild. And, more importantly, he乌鸦传媒檚 dedicated to the cause.

乌鸦传媒淒id you notice some of my moves? Some of the babes check me out when I start using my moves,乌鸦传媒� King deadpanned as he slowly rocked back-and-forth.

In King乌鸦传媒檚 attempt to pick up more ladies, he and Dodson switched instruments in the second set, because, as he said, the bassist never gets the gal.

乌鸦传媒淎ny hens who want to take a run at him, he乌鸦传媒檚 single,乌鸦传媒� laughed Berly from behind his impressive kit.

乌鸦传媒淥ur groupies have turned into droopies,乌鸦传媒� King jested.

Clad all in black, with Dodson donning his best pair of sunglasses, The Stampeders still look like they乌鸦传媒檙e ready to rock. And they are. The sold-out show fell at the midpoint of their 13-stop southern B.C. tour.

乌鸦传媒淲e乌鸦传媒檙e going to go back and do some drugs. Not the ones you think, but the ones they make us take,乌鸦传媒� King said. 乌鸦传媒淪ometimes we get battle scars, but it乌鸦传媒檚 all worth it. We乌鸦传媒檙e still rocking.乌鸦传媒�

And don乌鸦传媒檛 let their grey hair and senior乌鸦传媒檚 moments fool you: these lads still have it.
