Saw them playing this live in 1972 at Western Springs, Auckland, New Zealand - almost the same lineup except Kurt was in the band then. They opened for Three Dog Night but should have been the headline act. Guess Who were amazing - this brings back happy memories. I'm almost 70 and this makes me want to get off my ass and dance!! 👍👍👍
My dad saw them in small town sask not sure of exact date but around then. I grew up on good music😊
I saw them the same year in Adelaide, Australia. I was 15 and at 66 I’m still a big fan and would listen to their music nearly every day. I went to see The Guess Who and came out loving Three Dog Night too.
@@dana102083 I grew up in Regina at that time but never saw them in concert. A lot of kids owned their albums though. Burton Cummings, who now lives in Moose Jaw, said they had such a great time playing concerts all over Saskatchewan in the mid to late 1960s that he decided to leave LA because it was just too crazy and move to Moose Jaw. He loves it there!
By far the best song from any Canadian band. Sorry Rush fans.
Their exclusion from the R&RHOF alone discredits the institution. This concert proves it. TGW/BTO is rock and roll at its best.
maybe 2023 will be the R&RHOF, but it should've been sooner.
@@63supercobrajet Way sooner smfh
The Guess Who, Bad Company, George Thorogood, Grand Funk Railroad, BTO, and Boston--to name a few.
Truth!!

PUT THEM IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!!
WHAT!!?? THE GUESS WHO AREN'T IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME? WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP. THAT'S JUST FLAT OUT BS AND WRONG
NO SHIT!
for fuck sakes, of course they belong
Deserve induction twice
Dammit already!!
This Is real Rock and Roll Music.
The Winnipeg boys performing back in their hometown of Winnipeg. The thunderstorm and the rain didn't deter the fans. It was a great homecoming concert and didn't disappoint.
Best Canadian band ever -- I've been listening to them since I was ten so I guess I am partial to the guess who...
First saw them in early 1970, and nothing has changed! Their talent took them to the top. Garry Peterson, back there on drums like the other members made it effortless. Very underrated group, but their talent has stood the test of time.
Phenomenal Video…..this is the spirit, beauty and soul of Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
I'm in Sydney Australia. Bunkered down because of the heat, bushfires and smoke and found this gem. Thanks for posting and thanks to the Canadian fire fighters who are here helping us.
Hello Mary, how're you doing, I hope you are doing fine. I'm David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real Country girl😊🌹
From Victoria.. Grew up with this amazing band.. Now 63.. Still love them so much..
From Vancouver Island. I was honored to play a benefit gig to raise money for the Canadian firefighters going to Australia. Played My Own Way To Rock in our set. I was raised in Manitoba and of course Burton was a big deal. My Dad bought me an electric piano (my first keyboard, a Hohner pianet) in 1969. He told me it had belonged to Burton, but I never verified that.
@finneganfly hey even if it wasn't his you channeled his MOJO 😊
Best group to come out of Canada, this concert was superb
These guys still have it, after all of these years!
Absolutely.
GREATEST CANADIAN BAND EVER - DO I NEED TO POST ALL OF THEIR 40 SINGLES AND 12 ALBUMS??
1
They're right up there with the best groups!
I would agree with you with one caveat. The Band was an incredibly talented and sophisticated group and influenced many other bands. They weren't purely Canadian though. Four of its five members were from southern Ontario. Levon from Arkansas. The Guess Who and The Band would be 1 and 1A in my book. Rush, The Tragically Hip, and April Wine belong in the second tier. Greatest Canadian soloists... Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, Brian Adams.
@@p.turtle2085 don’t forget BTO
grew up northern ND...would see their bus on I29 once in awhile when they 1st got going..grew up listening to them,,one of my all time favorite if not my favorite group of all time..I never did get to see them in concert..thank you Canada..what a gift
It was a hot and steamy night with the temps in the 30's. Despite the rain, none of the fans left, just happy to have the Guess Who back performing in Winnipeg.
Totally hot and steamy!
Great song. Just heard it for the 1st time, 15 Aug 17, and Im 62 yrs old. Great job. This should have been a top 20 song in 1972, in the States.
When I'm at work and this comes on the radio business can wait.
Wicked song, unbelievable guitar solo!
The whole crew of the Guess Who are great and hugely underrated!
The Guess Who is to me pop-jazz-rocknroll at it's best! A rare band, and with Burton as a helluva good singer/entertainer.
Burton Cummings is un-beatable. :) :) :)
Truer words were never spoken. They needed to be in it years ago.
This is what we in Canada call your basic Heavy Duty rock and roll.
This band could hold its own against any rock band of the '60s and'70s.
YOU ROCK, GUESS WHO!
Born in Saskatoon in 1952. Great city great rock song.........
I was in my first year at the University of Windsor. In 1974. There was a large party at the university pub with a band we needed to recognise. They played some guess-who, and it dawned on us that it was Randy Bachman's band after leaving the guess-who. A great night.
One of My Absolute Favorite Guess Who Songs. Still Gets My Motor Runnin!!!
No wonder they say that Randy is amongst the top 10 guitar players of all time. Right on. A real Canadian legend. /// thanks for posting. I was born in Winnipeg; didn't live far from Burton in the North End. // I saw Burton barely able to sing after Randy's guitar solo in the middle. Man, that was impressive.. Plays that harp like his tongue. :)
who are "they"? ....I agree, he's good and I love his radio show, but top ten....maybe top 10 Canadian guitarists, but that's even pushing it...Think about it...Alex Lifeson, Rik Emmitt, Colin James , Jeff Healy, Liona Boyd, Dutch Mason, and that's just off the top of my head...think before you type.
Tony Stone Going to see Randy on March 8th here in Kitchener. I can’t wait. These videos are priceless.
Burton Cummings an absolute talented, dignified and dignified leader.
As an American I. send love and thanks for Guess Who, April Wine, Rush and ice hockey!
Saw them May 22nd 1972 at the Paramount Theater in Seattle (live album concert). They played to the audience! Such a talent!!
Best concert of THE GUESS WHO....🙂 Unbelievable, but supergreat!!!!!!!!! HAVE NO WORDS:::::::: 🙂
I like that when Bachman plays a solo that was originally done by Kurt, he stays fairly true to the original. Shows his class. You can hear this even more in some of the other songs in this show.
Yeah, I was wondering if this was even his song, amazing job
I was just thinking the same thing. RIP Kurt.
PROUD CANADIANS
lightening and thunder the show goes on ! cool
Greets from Germany. Mega Band !!
Grew up in Winnipeg in the 60's watching these guys. Iconic group ,Love all their music .Wake up RRHOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A great band , sorry I missed the show
I still have this concert on VHS. I remember taping it back then and watching it quite often. Great stuff.
These guys could really cook! Just a delight watching how much fun they're having out there.
love this song
That was best concert ever,I was there.Despite the rain,SuperAwesome!.Put In The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame.Guess Who Reunion Was The Best!.
Something about those harmony vocals!! Very nice!! Wish more bands had harmonies!
Saskatoon is a beautiful city filled with river valley and great hotels. Wonderful. I would run back there any day. Perfect place to set down roots.
I've seen these guys at the great New York State Fair was an awesome concert
Remember our old paper dollar with the wheat field on the reverse? If you looked closely you could see Randy and Burton on the highway, heading back to Saskatoon.
Such great talent in this band! I’ve been a fan since no-time came out and I bought the 45 rpm.
Burton Cummings Said In An Intreview..In The Midst Of Our Crazy Touring Scedule....70....71....72.....Wed Fly Into A town Jamn....party down.....Fly Into Another Town..do the same thing....And This Went On For So Long....we never knew...where wed been and where we were goin to...wed just drop out of the sky in our jet...and crank out the best rock n roll that a body had a right to!!!!
IN MY OPINION . . .
. . . IN TOP 5 OF ALL
CANADIAN BANDS!!!!
No. 1 in my book. The Band is #2. After that … BTO, Rush, Triumph, Barenaked Ladies, April Wine, Ligthouse, the Diamonds? Not sure if any of these were better than the Guess Who … we're talking "bands" here, right? Not solo artists.
@@Odosagih - Well, ... it's no insult to say that The Band would be #1 in many books - but the Guess Who are right there at #2. This iteration of The Guess Who was maybe it's best (Kurt Winter would sure have been a nice addition - RIP). Can't believe McDougal is getting such a tube tone out of that Yamaha amp. Yamaha?
@@davidcarter2720
The Band was a phenomenal band but Levon Helm was American and had such an impact on their sound that I would hesitate to say The Band was purely Canadian, although 4 of its 5 members were. The Guess Who were 100% Canadian. 1 and 1a imo as Canada's greatest bands ... Rush would be a distant 3rd. I may even put April Wine ahead of Rush, even though Rush received more mainstream attention.
@@p.turtle2085 - I'm a pretty big fan of Levon Helm, so respect that argument ...
LOVE THIS FROM THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT. I TOLD MY CHILDREN I WANT THIS PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL.
lived n minot nd went to saskatoon more than a few times. great place. enjoyed all 4years. even the winter. lets go ROAD TRIP
Prairie thunderstorms are the best. Perfect setting for this song. 👌
loving it from Michigan. bad ass song.
Saw the G H in north of Michigan maybe 10-15 years ago….Got to hang with drummer Garry before the show!I asked if they were going to play this..he said it wasn’t in the set list..but..in the middle of the show..they played it !..Thanks,Garry!
Oops!..Make that G W!..
Met Burton at the holiday inn in Kingston once. Great guy.
mcaddicts
Met Burton at the Coronet in Kitchener
Was very polite
As a Rock ‘n Roll aficionado, Randy Bachman, Domenic Troiano and Donnie MacDougall are the greatest guitarists that are underrated. Really, no one else has been better than these 3. This live album is the greatest I’ve ever seen and heard although, directing/production wise, there’s much to be desired. Generally speaking, does anyone believe that The Guess Who was not one of the greatest bands ever? Thankfully the ignoble RnRHOF does not determine who is the greatest.
I'd offer one minor clarification on the Canadian Who's best guitar players.......yeah, for sure, Randy Bachman. Hell, he gets an A+ for guitar, composition, and introducing jazz chord structure into rock..... But, those other guys I don't even know who they are. The missing link your post failed to note was none other than Kurt Winter. Kurt carried lead guitar after Bachman left for a fair number of years and he brought a guitar tone, raw/gritty kind of lead, and speed in the leads and fills that rivaled or exceeded Randy. Winter had a much heavier Rock kind of lead guitar that was so in at the time in the States......guys like Ronnie Montrose, Rick Derringer, Craig Chaquico of Starship, and others.....they were laying down incredible lead scale work setting the stage for the soon to enter guitar shredders like Eddie Van Halen et al. Canada's G-Who never got the acclaim their music/talent warranted. And, Cumming's voice was out of this world. He and Bachman made quite a composition team.
@@davidwinn721 kurt was something else with a guitar, gets no credit. Most people do not even know who he is. Changed the way I see and hear music, really made a big impact on me. I was so happy when Burton released Kurt’s Song.
@@johnedward5520 You have to be into music in order to keep abreast of and assimilate the impact of rock group personnel changes.....and many of us who lived through the Guess Who era aren't even around any longer, so it's little wonder that Mr. W. is more of an asterisk on G-W albums during the Randy hiatus era. But, if you played guitar or listened to it closely, we all knew that Burton was using another lead guitar player on those Share the Land, Albert Flasher, Hang on To Your Life time period recordings. All those albums featured Winter on lead, and I was just a poor teenager in the States and guitar hack who laughed out loud and said, that isn't Bachman on those tunes. But few listened or even cared or understood. Winter was incredible....RIP.....and as I said, the band and Burton, Randy and Kurt don't receive the acclaim their musicianship/output warranted. Just a great body of music....and great players.
Been a big Bachman fan forever. He is SO talented. And, he can play ANY style. Somewhere there's a video of him playing with Chet Atkins.. (and perhaps even Les Paul)
MacDougall's backing vocals are so key to the Guess Who's sound, too.
Amazing how well Burton Cummings has aged, he still looks perpetually young In relativistic terms with a voice that still sounds great 50 years later. He has definitely taken care of himself along with the great DNA God gave him!
This video is from a few years back, about 4 I think. I saw him recently and his age is showing now.
This was a concert in Winnipeg in July 2000, I believe. Burton is only 52 or so in this video. Burton is currently 73. His birthday is 12/31/47
ever hockey road trip with my brothers in the 80-90s began with this our official road trip song...
"sing another prairie tune"
you bet ya
Great concert. I was there when they played in Edmonton. 😍
Loved it! Good camera work, good sound, great tune. Why can't American radio learn that there was more to Guess Who than American Woman and No Time?
Probably because they were too Canadian, and Americans wouldn't understand their music or lyrics. Another Canadian band, The Tragically Hip, never made it big in the States for exactly the same reasons.
It wasn't just American Woman and No Time that got extensive air play in the US, These Eyes also did well on the charts.
@@stevestruthers6180 Guess Who got a lot of AM airtime and they easily made the transition to FM radio in Chicagoland. It wasn't just the
two tunes I mentioned, either. We're also fortunate to hear cuts from Burton's debut solo record. I'm glad there wasn't a short studio
version of "Saskatoon" released for AM airplay. No way it would have had the electricity of the six minute live version. I personally don't
think Canadian artists were given short shrift by American radio. Then again, I don't work for Billboard so I really don't know.
I heard "Friends of Mine" late night on a transistor radio when I was a kid, that turned the "top 40" on it's head...
Well I know there is more to them than those songs! These guys are flat out awesome! BTW, I love Canada!! Just came from vacation there👍
@@bigdmarine Yeah, we alll know they hit it with more than American Woman and No Time. I was just making a point. Throw in the success
of BTO and it's obvious Americans liked the sound.
One of my favorite bands, many a Band here in New Zealand did great renditions of the Guess Who songs, it reminds me of great days and nights at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand's oldest and most highly regarded University. Albert Flasher was probably their number one hit here....although American Woman was probably next but we didn't identify with it probably as much due to our location being Down Here and Down Under and Proud of it.
The ultimate rock song on boredom from the wind swept prairies of Saskatoon.
I hear that Mark and agree! I am not a Canadian, but was eyeshot of Vancouver Island. These lads were a big part my life back to "shakin' all over" and "These eyes".
Yikes I'm old! When did THAT happen 🤔
BTO is bigger and better than the Hall Of Fame...
just a kid growing up in Detroit when they were at their peak
still love the music 40 yrs later
Saw the Guess Who in Windsor in, like, October 1973 and again in Calgary in1975. Great band!!!!!
saw Kurt and Donnie version at St Clair Ampitheatre in 75 -76?
Biggest and 1st ever 45 to hit #1 in USA
Robert McPherson . . . I AGREE MY FRIEND!!!!
As A Prairie Person . . . so fun to have been
to all the places they mention!!!! BE HAPPY!!!
A performance buried in Canadian content! The only thing which could make it better would be if the concert were actually in Saskatoon! This is on the shortlist of great performances of this song!
Randy Bachman back on guitar!
Clearly you are unaware of the greatness of the Guess Who, their influence from 1964 , and the collaborations they have done. Cummings and Bachman can be truly considered the CANADIAN SUPERGROUP, that spawned so many other bands (much like the American equal of Buffalo Springfield/Hollies)
These 5 guys know how to rock!
Great song…and love the Elvis tee shirt,
The Name....."The Guess Who...Will Always Be ...My Favorite Name 4 A Great Rock n Roll Band!!!
This is some great rock n roll!
We LOVE our Winnipeg BOYS !!!!!
Reminds me of a Canadian Junior hockey player riding the bus in a prairie winter traveling to their next game….
Thank you BTO, You shaped my life....God bless you!
Along with American Woman, my other favourite Guess Who Song. Great stuff!!
no sugar tonight, hand me down world, no time, and SHAKIN ALL OVER
Winnipeg prrroduced thea greatest Canadian band of all time
Second greatest band
@@billydow9798 nope, the Guess Who started it all in 1966. Steppenwolf not that close, Celine/Bryan not a band, Rush too later, etc.
XMIR10C the guess who are pretty great indeed. But Rush, The Hip, and Neil Young are miles ahead in my book
@@billydow9798 produced in 1966 , played here later
@@billydow9798 you are a newbie
As I get old, this will by my prairies anthem. My dad was born in GEM Alberta. Lots of native sounding names here as well as Northern USA prairie states.
Thank you for putting this together. It makes me feel proud to come from the Canadian prairies. How is that for a change?
What a great song. They all get down
This Dude Is Home Grown!!!!
Forgot awesome video !!!!!
KILLER SONG, LOVE GUESS WHO, BURTON. GREAT UNUSIAL VOICE, SASKATOON.
Great voice and great piano player. Albert Flasher's a pretty good example.
❤️ American here but my band toured in Canada in the late 80s, I love this song. Played in many of the ones they sing about and so many more
Hello Cindy, how're you doing, I hope you are doing fine. I'm David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real Country girl😊🌹
Can you post all the cities they sing about?..I hear Moosejaw……Medicine Hat..thats about it!
Just saw Burton tonight in Medicine Hat! Of course the crowd roared at certain times of the song! lol
This song is so damn good.
very good live stuff ... live Winnipeg 2001
Really? Great concert.
Hello Elke, how're you doing, I hope you are doing fine. I'm David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real Country girl😊🌹
nice double guitar attack from either side of the panscape. What a rush it would have been to see these guys sing this "Home grown" tune in their home town.
HOME is where the Heart and Rock and roll is ! Yay !
I just watched this particular video again, and I am a bit surprised that the guys went onstage despite the REALLY BIG electrical storm which befell them all just before the concert.
I love Canada
True story.. Back in the day (of 8 track tapes) I was pretty heavy into blues stuff. I had a couple Canned Heat LP's , and recommended them. to a close friend. We talked a few days later and he said "This isn't at all what I was expecting". He slid it in the tape deck and we thought what the Hell is that? He popped it out and it was "Canned WHEAT" by TGW. He returned it for something heavier... and about a week later, we both bought it again. Loved TGW and BTO ever since!
Thanks for sharing this, and Burton's Elvis T-shirt is cool.
I want one...
Thanks for the fond memories!!
La calidad nunca pasa de moda, no tiene edad.
This is such a jamming tune
thank you Canada
AWSOME...
Outstanding !
Not even rain, thunder and lightning will keep their loyal fans away. First time I saw them was 49 years ago. They sound just as great.
