Thank you so much Manitoba. I also need yo hear a reaction for Four Strong Winds, maybe your unofficial anthem and a incredible song. Neil Young's interpretation is timeless.
I was lucky to see Burton and his band in the early 2000's, it was an outdoor festival, sun starting to go down, a summertime breeze, a perfect night. Burton said he was so comfortable he could play all night. The music was so fantastic, the crowd loved it and he did almost all Guess Who songs. I have been to at least 100 concerts and this one was so clear, so perfect, it was one of the best concerts i have ever attended. It was that good. Rick Springfield played after Burton, no offense to Rick but Burton should have been the headliner, he has such a unique voice. It was in Michigan, not too far away.
Love The Guess Who but loooove the vocalist more.. Burton Cummings , one of the best rock voices of all time......btw Harri, Burton also had a brilliant solo career, check him out..
This was done live. Johnny Cash recorded his variety show live at the hallowed Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. He had fantastic musical guests who all played live and he often did something unique with it. One to check out is he and Bob Dylan doing a duet of Girl From the North Country.
yep I remember when it first aired. My dad was a big Johnny Cash fan back in the 60's I had all his records growing up and when I was 6 or 7 I already knew the words to Get Rhythm and Hey Porter.
These Eyes Hang on to your Life Glamour Boy Do You Miss Me Darlin'? Rain Dancer Albert Flasher This must be very early in the Guess Who's careers. Burton and Randy are so young. Enjoyable blend of two songs with each a message. Thanks Harri and JKClark. Cheers from Canada. 🇨🇦
What a timeless song, would be a great anthem for reconciliation with Canada's Aboriginal peoples. So emotional . . . Wonder what they were thinking when they wrote that song all those years ago?
Aw, my hometown boys ❤ Burton Cummings has a fantastic voice and Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin was also impressed by his pipes. They are so young here. Undun is also also a must. Cheers
Harri you reviewed Burton Cummings as a solo artist 3 months ago on the song "Stand Tall". Amazing singer with The Guess Who or solo. Thanks for the reaction Harri.
I uploaded this video several years ago, after finding it as part of a RUclips video compilation of performances from The Johnny Cash Show, so it's nice to see it getting the attention of reactors. One common misconception about this clip that pops up a lot: Randy Bachman is not in this line-up. He left partway through 1970 after a falling out with the rest of the band and went on to form a country-rock band called Brave Belt, which then morphed into the more hard-rocking Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO). The rest of The Guess Who (lead vocalist/keyboardist Burton Cummings, bassist Jim Kale and drummer Garry Peterson) replaced Bachman with two guitarists, Kurt Winter (who solos here) and Greg Leskiw. Winter also replaced Bachman as Cummings' songwriting partner. The band went through several personnel changes before breaking up in 1975.
Johnny Cash was great in many ways. He had a TV show where he featured people like Bob Dylan (they were friends), Pete Seeger (who had been banned from back in the McCarthy era), and lots of great acts.
Canada man. It's cold up here. So everyone either plays hockey or goes to parties where everyone plays or sings or just parties. Especially in Winnipeg. Or both Blair Thorton a guitarist with BTO used to do full practice with the NHL Canucks.
@@xboxrules8472 That is very true.Where my Dad is from is just a few miles from the most southern place in Canada. Down on Lake Erie. Betcha lots of musicians from the cold northern states as well.
🍁🍁🍁😊👍😊🍁🍁🍁 Awesome! The Guess Who, for me, were kind of a 'local' band when they first came out. I lived only about a 6 hour drive from Winnipeg, at the time. lol ... I still do, just in a different town. 😁🍁🍁 They've got a lot of great music that I know you'd enjoy. "These Eyes", "Laughing", and "Undone", would be some I'd recommend. I think, "Shakin' All Over", was an earlier one of theirs, but it could have been a previous band they were involved with. Cheers!
Burton Cummings. The Voice. Canada's finest. He's 75 and still rockin' with that voice. I have time to see him in October. Look for Stand Tall from his first solo album on RUclips. Also Temptation Eyes and These Eyes from The Guess Who.
Burton Cummings is the name of the lead singer. Randy Bachman on guitar. He later formed a band called Bachman Turner Overdrive who also had big hits. I live in Ottawa, Canada and Burton and Randy are on tour right now and will be playing right close to me in about three days time. I have Burton Cummings on Facebook and he loves to share photos of his memorabilia and stories about his younger days. He still can sing like that. He also had a great solo career with hits to check out. This is a big rabbit hole. They were on Johnny Cash's variety show and since rock n roll music was still considered "devil music' at that time, JOhnny would have been introducing these fellas and trying to get his main audience to accept them and open their minds to listen to them, which is just one more reason to love Johnny. Songs to listen to from The Guess Who - These Eyes, Laughing, Undun, No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature, and I"m sure I'm forgetting something here. Songs by Bachman Turner Overdrive - Taking Care of Business (which Elvis Presley loved so much he had jewelry made with the logo TCB on it), You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet, and help me out Canadians, my b rain is drawing a blank. There are more. Songs by Burton Cummings solo, Break It To Them Gently, Stand Tall, Fine State of Affairs, I'm Scared, Glamour Boy, Follow Your Daughter Home, My Own Way To Rock... and there are more, but... pity me. I'm old and can't remember. LOL.
@@jeffbaker2979 You're right. I had a brain fart there. I've been so excited about Burton and Randy playing together again and touring. Theu were supposed to come here but then Covid hit and they had to postpone the tour, but now... here they come! Woo hoo.
I grew up with this great Canadian band. You've done a few of their hits already. Other songs are "Laughing", "She's Come Undone", "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature", "Bus Driver", "Star Baby", "Albert Flasher", "Rain Dance" etc. Burton Cummings has one of the best voices out there. Randy Bachman later left to form (BTO) Bachman Turner Overdrive & had many hits. And Burton Cummings had a great solo career with lots of great songs.
Some of great groups and musicians came out of Canada. Rush, some of early Steppenwolf boys under a different name that many do not know and came down to frisco to get it together. Of course the GW. Neil Young.There are plenty more. The GW reminds me of Jr. High when their American Woman, No Time and NSTonight were released. I had the 45 with NO TIME to spare and right away. I remember the flip side was Hand Me Down World. I finally bought the AW album when I started making money. Down On The Corner CCR was out about the same time. Loved those two the first I heard them on radio.
I remember when they came out.love them.play NO TIME , NO SUGAR TONIGHT PLEASE CONSIDER SEARCHING their music.Wrote all their music.Playing live Amazing.Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your reaction to this amazing Canadian band! I have always loved "Share The Land" and I am glad you did too! For more Guess Who greatness please try "Albert Flasher", "Guns Guns Guns" and especially the criminally underrated "Life In The Bloodstream"! Find some shade and stay cool, Harri!!
Harri, how could you forget that you reacted to my request, "No Time", from just a couple weeks ago? :D So this is your THIRD song by The Guess Who. Don't you remember, I said in my Intro that Burton Cummings ranked in my Top 5 voices in Rock all-time?! At any rate, other than that, thanks for another terrific reaction!
Burton Cummings is an underrated vocalist, in my opinion. I saw him years ago (2011) touring with Randy Bachman and he still had some amazingly strong pipes, which you could tell he took great care of.
Today is Wednesday. Friday night I will be seeing Burton Cummings (the singer/keyboard guy) and Randy Bachman - Lead guitarist, playing with this, other great Guess ho songs. They will also play Takin Care Of Business and a few other Bachman Turner Overdrive songs. We should also here Stand Tall and a couple of other Burton Cummings solos hits. It is still two days away. The good news is while I am waiting I will be seeing Tom Cochrane perform, he is part of the Thursday line-up at this years festival.
Bravo...The Guess Who was so much more than just the now over-played American Woman. the Johnny Cash inserts are ridiculous, but it shows how good the band was live. However the Jonny Cash song is good on it's own merits if you can go hear it by itself. I consider the Guess who as the Canadian Beatles.
Harri, mate, every time you do a Guess Who reaction you mention how much you like "that singer". His name is Burton Cummings. Burton Cummings. Burton Cummings. (Repeat after me ...) P.S. I've sent you a separate request (Overture to American Woman Live) which should solidify your memory, LOL. Thanks for this reaction, mate. Johnny Cash is a hoot!
And every time he does one of your reactions he mistakenly calls you *J.K. ClarK.* Must be a mental block. lol At any rate, excellent suggestion, Mr. ClarE. ;)
Burton Cummings, soon to be 74, still has a marvelous voice. I'd you want to hear him at his best, I reccomend his album, "Up Close and Alone." It has songs from The Guess Who days, and his solo career. It's just him, his piano, and that glorious voice.
Burton Cummings one of the greatest singers ever. Robert Plant, Roger Daltery all stand behind him. Or maybe just inbetween the two. James Brown, Sam Cook are his bedrock. Fantastic band. Bachman et. al. Fantastic and talented equal to Burton….
Canadian ICONS from Winnipeg (Where the name Winnie ThePooh came from) please check out Burton’s solo career and also you’ve done some Bachman. 🇨🇦 “Break it to them gently” is my fave, as I also have a child in prison. This song Share the Land was perfect for us hippies!
OMG look at Burt with all that hair!!!! I'm not going to laugh. I'm not laughing. There was a poll on Facebook during Covid (Burt was doing live entertainment from home) that voted Burt second best voice, behind Freddie Mercury. It's no insult to come in second to Freddie Mercury. The Guess Who held first place in my list of Best Canadian Bands for many, many years. To be replaced by Rush. They are still in second place though. Oh wait...The Tragically Hip...Crash Test Dummies...
Someone mentioned *She's Come Undone* It's actually called *Undun* Here's a great live version - ruclips.net/video/SSBKwHkvTWU/видео.html and the longer studio version - ruclips.net/video/zHKqPSAchcU/видео.html
I don't understand why Undun is rarely ever requested in these comments. It's their masterpiece. (even Randy and Burton's favourite song with TGW). Perhaps it deviates far too much from what they're known for. The studio version is FAR superior to the live version. They changed it far too much in the live one and the bossa nova sound is pretty much gone.
@@incensejunkie7516 Depends on which Live version you're referring to. Rumor has it a great Live version will be coming up in a few days here. Watch for it, but don't tell anyone you heard about it from me, LOL.
@@JK_Clarke I was referring to the live version of Undun you linked. I've seen a few and none really match the studio version. The studio version just has this brilliant, unique sound. I always prefer the reaction to the studio version, as that's what made it popular though in a few instances - for example, Rhiannon by Fleetwood Marc, is brilliant live, and some songs were released as live versions, such as "I Want You to Want Me" by Cheap Trick. But, that's my preference. Whichever version is it, your secret is safe with me '😉
@@incensejunkie7516 Oh, that's not my link, it's Tom's. Here try this one, performed in a thunderstorm, though I'm sure you'll find a reason to dislike it hehe ... cheers! ruclips.net/video/8yb6uHIFVmY/видео.html
This video should be used to embarrass bands who play “live” shows with backing tracks or full on recordings they just synch to. I don’t necessarily want the live gig to sound exactly like the record, but the reproduction of it is super solid.
Interesting venue for the song but a bit jarring. Johnny Cash is the only true country singer I can listen to. I love The Guess Who with the great vocalist Burton Cummings and guitarist Randy Bachman, who had left by this time. Gotta love draping the Canadian flag over the piano as well. You should re-react to this without interruptions from the studio album.
@@jeri-annabbott1896 You're probably right and it doesn't help being Canadian. Maybe if they were American they would be in the Hall of Fame. I think the only Canadian band in the Hall of Fame is Rush.
The ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME IS A JOKE PLAIN AND SIMPLE. It' was a great idea but the fools who run it are clueless. The list of people who belong there is long, as is the list of people who are in but should not be.
@@bobleek6975 - Been there twice and absolutely agree. There are clowns in there who were talentless or one hit wonders and a lot I've never heard of. Also, to me, rap/hip hop doesn't even qualify as music. I was first there in 1999 and almost every artist was from the US. Since then there are more "foreign" acts but still many glaring omissions. Admission should be based on talent, quality and quantity of output and influence.
RIP Kirt Winter . One of the most underrated bands ever.
Share The Land is one of their best tunes.
Burton Cummings always had one of the best voices in rock.
I agree100 percent!
Without question
Up there with Robert Plant and the singer(s) from 3DN
Thank you so much Manitoba. I also need yo hear a reaction for Four Strong Winds, maybe your unofficial anthem and a incredible song. Neil Young's interpretation is timeless.
Still does.
Burton Cummings is the lead vocalist with the amazing pipes..
Share the Land is still one of my favorites, it's the perfect hippie anthem ..✌
Just saw Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman in concert last weekend!
LOVE the Guess Who!❤
At 75 he is still touring around Canada.
A social consciousness song from my era from one of the greatest groups from that time, Guess Who. And one of its greatest voices, Burton Cummins.
I was lucky to see Burton and his band in the early 2000's, it was an outdoor festival, sun starting to go down, a summertime breeze, a perfect night.

Love The Guess Who but loooove the vocalist more.. Burton Cummings , one of the best rock voices of all time......btw Harri, Burton also had a brilliant solo career, check him out..
Thanks Harri for this reaction. Burton Cummings has a great voice and still performs today. 😊🇨🇦👏
I’ve never seen this performance before. Thanks for sharing (the land)!
The ending is sooo beautiful and really shows off Burton's voice.
how they're not in the hall of fame is beyond stupid
I just wanna say........................I Love Johnny and how about that Guess Who baby ???? Peace And Love ! :)
Takes great skills to land on the same country chords and Johnny Cash hands it back to thre Guess Who. Flowed both ways., I like the two songs in one.
This was done live. Johnny Cash recorded his variety show live at the hallowed Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. He had fantastic musical guests who all played live and he often did something unique with it. One to check out is he and Bob Dylan doing a duet of Girl From the North Country.

SHOULD BE REMEMBERED.

This must be very early in the Guess Who's careers. Burton and Randy are so young. Enjoyable blend of two songs with each a message. Thanks Harri and JKClark. Cheers from Canada. 🇨🇦
Burton C.------Too good. P.S. Undun, Undun, Undun, great show
One of the truly underrated voices of the 7O's is Burton Cummings. Saw him twice live in concert and his vocals are some of the best I had ever heard.
Thisun is priceless...nice seein these guys in their prime!Thanks Harri...Hmmm....yer really goin Canuckian lately!...it is infectious! Ha,ha,ha...
That was so good. Almost spiritual.
What a timeless song, would be a great anthem for reconciliation with Canada's Aboriginal peoples. So emotional . . . Wonder what they were thinking when they wrote that song all those years ago?

Burton Cummings. PEACE AND LOVE FROM CANADA
I saw this original show on TV and yes that is how it was done that night✌🤘
Should check out some of Burton's solo work, Stand Tall, Break it to them Gently, Timeless Love, he's got a bunch of good ones.
Stand Tall, one of the greatest songs EVER.
@@kellidinit3725 I really enjoy his more up-tempo songs too, My own way to rock, Your Backyard, Mother keep your daughters in, to name a few.
@@real_lostinthefogofwar I love it all. I have such great memories centered around The Guess Who, and Burton in general.
Harri you reviewed Burton Cummings as a solo artist 3 months ago on the song "Stand Tall". Amazing singer with The Guess Who or solo. Thanks for the reaction Harri.
What a great live performance!
Strong baritone with superb vibrato voice! Robert Plant chose his voice as one of the best!
This is one of their best. "Undun" is like my life story, ha!
Never seen this version with Johnny Cash--loving it!
i remember seeing this on his show. i loved the guess who and my dad loved johnny cash.
and back then there was no cable, just 3 networks, pbs, and one independent station.
Oh, how I miss variety shows! Take different artists from different genres & have them perform together.
Love this band, Love this song!

It’s my favorite Guess Who song. Share the Land is a masterpiece. But I’m also from Winnipeg and he dated my friend. Lol
Great song, I love the guess who!!!
What a great video!
one of my ole time fav songs of all time.vocals burton cummings.drums garry peterson lead guitar kurt winter guitar greg leskiw
My favorite male vocalist of all time....
i believe that's exactly what Johnny was trying to accomplish....bridge the gap!
he always seemed to have his finger on the pulse.
Everybody, and i mean everybody loves their song '' Clap for the Wolf man'' referring to Wolf man Jack.
Love your reaction,bringing back 2 flower days innocence..your voice is amazing, accent fsntastic!!!
Burton Cummings has one of the best lead vocals of any band from that era!
From any era! Great voice. The man can sing.
Nice to see an Englishman appreciating music from the colonies! These boys are our best. Thanks! 😉
Thanks Harris great music brings back old memories
Johnny Cash was great in many ways. He had a TV show where he featured people like Bob Dylan (they were friends), Pete Seeger (who had been banned from back in the McCarthy era), and lots of great acts.

These are my two favorite Guess Who songs. “Hand Me Down World” is longer on the recordings; you should check it out.
Interesting
I grew up with this great Canadian band. You've done a few of their hits already. Other songs are "Laughing", "She's Come Undone", "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature", "Bus Driver", "Star Baby", "Albert Flasher", "Rain Dance" etc. Burton Cummings has one of the best voices out there. Randy Bachman later left to form (BTO) Bachman Turner Overdrive & had many hits. And Burton Cummings had a great solo career with lots of great songs.
Don't forget, Going back to Saskatoon, and Follow your daughter home. A couple songs that weren't hits but I just like them.
Some of great groups and musicians came out of Canada. Rush, some of early Steppenwolf boys under a different name that many do not know and came down to frisco to get it together. Of course the GW.

Going on 64 years old. Ok In my opinion
the Guessing Who is on the level as the Beatles 71 y old hubby luv the Beatles so do......
The auto correct on this phone!! THE GUESS WHO!
Well, that was one of the strangest music videos I’ve seen that’s for sure!
Cummings has one of those iconic voices that’s immediately recognized.
Also, Garry Peterson on drums is always flawless.
This song wasn't influenced by "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" as it came out in 1970, 3 years before Dylan's song.
other songs : Laughing, These Eyes, Running back to Saskatoon, and so much more
And you get Johnny's song What is Truth too. A minor crossover top twenty hit on the Pop charts at the time.
Today is Wednesday. Friday night I will be seeing Burton Cummings (the singer/keyboard guy) and Randy Bachman - Lead guitarist, playing with this, other great Guess ho songs. They will also play Takin Care Of Business and a few other Bachman Turner Overdrive songs. We should also here Stand Tall and a couple of other Burton Cummings solos hits. It is still two days away.

I always prefer the reaction to the studio version, as that's what made it popular though in a few instances - for example, Rhiannon by Fleetwood Marc, is brilliant live, and some songs were released as live versions, such as "I Want You to Want Me" by Cheap Trick. But, that's my preference.
Whichever version is it, your secret is safe with me '😉
@@incensejunkie7516 Oh, that's not my link, it's Tom's. Here try this one, performed in a thunderstorm, though I'm sure you'll find a reason to dislike it hehe ... cheers! ruclips.net/video/8yb6uHIFVmY/видео.html
A very young (moustache-less) Burton Cummings: lead vocals, and a very young Randy Bachman on lead guitar.
Not sure that's Bachman ... did he leave the group in 1970?
@@JK_Clarke I stand corrected. You’re right, that’s Kurt Winter, a worthy replacement.
This video should be used to embarrass bands who play “live” shows with backing tracks or full on recordings they just synch to. I don’t necessarily want the live gig to sound exactly like the record, but the reproduction of it is super solid.
Interesting venue for the song but a bit jarring. Johnny Cash is the only true country singer I can listen to. I love The Guess Who with the great vocalist Burton Cummings and guitarist Randy Bachman, who had left by this time. Gotta love draping the Canadian flag over the piano as well. You should re-react to this without interruptions from the studio album.
I can't understand why they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Probably because of "American Woman" that ticked off the wrong people. They definitely are overdue to be inducted!!!
@@jeri-annabbott1896 You're probably right and it doesn't help being Canadian. Maybe if they were American they would be in the Hall of Fame. I think the only Canadian band in the Hall of Fame is Rush.
The ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME IS A JOKE PLAIN AND SIMPLE. It' was a great idea but the fools who run it are clueless. The list of people who belong there is long, as is the list of people who are in but should not be.
@@bobleek6975 - Been there twice and absolutely agree. There are clowns in there who were talentless or one hit wonders and a lot I've never heard of. Also, to me, rap/hip hop doesn't even qualify as music. I was first there in 1999 and almost every artist was from the US. Since then there are more "foreign" acts but still many glaring omissions. Admission should be based on talent, quality and quantity of output and influence.
Because they don't all get along with each other anymore, or they would be.
👍
Great song, weird vid, was that the best example of the song you could find? Play the album version . Anyhoo thanks for listening
See the Canadian flag makes me believe in Canada again
Not Gussing who but THE Guess Who!!!
