    This is an alternate intro to American Woman, and if you'd let the video run you would heard the regular arrangement. It's pretty long, running about 14 minutes in total. Randy Bachman breaks a string during a solo and manages to pull off a god-tier guitar swap with the assistance of an alert roadie. This was from the Running Back To Canada tour in 2000.

      I'm not sure if this is part of a concert/tour that was on the TV a number of years ago, but, it appears to be. Would have been nice had it not been cut off, although as he read, the person making the suggestion did say the intro to American Woman.

    "Only in Winnipeg would the crowd stay" was a reference to the just-completed summer thunderstorm that had shut down the concert for 30 minutes due to fears of electrocution of the band. The well-drenched crowd just moved closer to the stage, perhaps to better share umbrellas ...

    • @JK_Clarke

      The reason Harri stopped the video was because I asked him to. The whole video is 14 minutes long, a bit too long to react to, yet I insisted this Intro was a blues classic on its own. Maybe by popular demand we can talk Harri into re-editing to include the rest of the song. Shall we?

    I grew up with this great Canadian band. They had so many hits such as "These Eyes", "No Time", "Laughing", "Undun", "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature" etc. Burton Cummings has a great voice. One of the best out there. Randy Bachman later left to form Bachman Turner Overdrive & had many hits. And Burton Cummings had a great solo career with lots of great songs. "American Woman" is not about a lady but more about a country (I don't want your war machines or your ghetto scenes).

    • @JK_Clarke
      @JK_Clarke 2 года назад +2

      That's why this intro is doubly-confusing; because it actually is about a lady Burton met. It really has not much in common with the original song's Lady, the Statue of Liberty. Nevertheless, its performance deserves recognition on its own merit; the entire group was musically magnificent, not to mention the accurate spelling at the end.

    Burton starts off by saying "only in Winnipeg would the crowd stay." This was an outdoor concert that was interrupted by a fierce electrical storm and the show was brought to a halt. The fans didn't leave, they just stood there getting wet and when the lightning stopped, the band returned to the stage and continued the show. Most bands would have cancelled, but when they saw no one was leaving, they waited it out. Hometown crowd. Like everyone else who commented, I wish you'd have played the full song. The intro by itself is not really enough.
