Heard them at the North Van Rec Centre circa 1973. Very impressive! (and I'd already attended concerts featuring the Beatles, Stones and the Chicago Transit Authority among others)
Let's start a credible organization that truly represents the greats of Rock and Roll. The RR Hall of fame is just a guy who has no merit, just political and personal views.
The REAL Guess Who, not those pretenders that are currently touring. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and this is sound that will forever be locked into my brain. No upstart cover band will ever touch the sound that these guys own, both the vocals and the music. Thank You Burton Cummings for being you!❤🤘🎤🎸🥁
Amen to that! I grew up in the 60's and 70's. I remember when "Share the Land" was released. My older brother brought it home. Instant hit! I seriously remember painting my own Guess Who poster and taping it to my bedroom window so people passing by would see it! They made me proud to be a Canadian.
I’m an American kid that grew up in Seattle during this period. This country had it’s share of great 70’s music that I enjoyed. But damn I loved these guys and especially Burton with that strong, silky voice. One of a kind! Thank you Canada.
I'm from Syracuse New York and I've been listening to these guys for decades. I was fortunate enough to see them at the State Fair. They're still rocking and sound just as good as ever!😊
Lady Suzette Burton Cummings once said he was frustrated because he had been lead singer on 20 million record sales and yet never had his name on a vinyl record
I can see that there may be those who might consider him among the greatest singers of all time. I can hear his voice singing without notice and pick it as him immediately. To say he is not among the greatest would be just plain wrong.
I was born 40 years to late only to hear the crap that is most of today's talentless music. My generation needs bands like guess who, these guys are amazing!
I am in absolute awe of how good this group holds up live. Groups spend dozens, sometimes hundreds of takes on a song, and all the perfect parts are spliced together into a perfect studio track. And here these average-looking guys just absolutely kill a live version. What rare, unreal talent!
One of my favorite bands of all time! Simply put there will never be music like this again. I was blessed to been raised in a time when real music was being made. They should be in the RR hall of fame!
I feel The Guess Who is one of the more under appreciated bands from the their era. Of course, there's alot of those. But, they're the type that can put together a studio quality sounds at a live performance. There's alot of depth, alot of layers to peel back out of their arrangements. Great band.
The BEST LINEUP!!! I've listened to this album back in the '70s until my ears bled, then cranked it up to #10 on my 33/13rd record player before I listened to HUMBLE PIE!!!
Great song, great performance. Burton Cummings, a most unique voice and talent of the times. All band musicians providing BG vocals. Rare. Historic. A song about peace and brotherhood. Thanks Guess Who,
Burton Cummings has for decades been at the top of my list of the greatest rock vocalists. Listen to this guy's range, power and dynamic ability. There may be others that are about as good, but none better. I'm from Seattle USA, not Canada but I am Grateful for all the amazing Canadian musicians (been a Rush fanatic since 1976).
So proud to be Canadian. So proud to be an American. So proud to be dual, a half breed. Thank you dad (Toronto). Thank you mom (New York City). Came to this site due to the PBS special, The Vietnam War. Fabulous work coordinated by Ken Burns. The music throughout the documentary was spot on perfect. These songs are part of history. Part of forever. I was born in 1960 and feel so blessed to have lived through these years. Both the good and the bad. To have been exposed to this type of sound. To stories and feelings expressed musically. Powerful.
Great performance. Perfect harmonies by them while also playing their respective instruments. And near as I could see, they were not lipsyncing with a recording. Takes a bunch of talent to be able to do that.
BURTON CUMMINGS IS A MUSIC ICON. PRAISES AND RESPECTS TO HIM.. A LIFETIME OF EXCELLENT MUSIC SHARED WITH THE WORLD. VERY PRECIOUS. THANK YOU, MR. CUMMINGS.
This is from the Johnny Cash Show, I remember being allowed to stay up later just to see this, and being glued to the TV. Great Performance by the best version of the band.
Burton Cummings is awesome. He "owns" this song. The other band members were just backup singers that could have been anyone. It is Burton Cummings voice and vocals that make this song so very special.
It got a lot of play. The Guess Who were an AM AND FM band-they made great singles and got kind of dismissed as not a together rock band. They were excellent writers and musicians.
If anyone is wondering, Its Burton Cummings on Piano, Jim Kale on Bass, Gary Peterson on drums, Greg Leskiw( black hair) guitar and the late great Kurt Winter on lead guitar.
ShaolinDragon93 No, Randy left the group in very early 1970. This song was released in Oct 1970 so I would guess this clip would be over the winter of 70/71.
If I were stranded on an island & had to pick only 2 or 3 albums (c.d.) I would pick the Guess Who's greatest hits. I'm in my 60s now & still love to listen to their music. Almost daily on U Tube.
Wow. What a freaking treat. I've never heard anything but the recorded version. It doesn't get any better than this. The music, the voice, the message. Let's continue to live it today!
I must have listened to this song, the entire album for that matter, 100 times back in the day. But I’ve never seen a video of them performing or on TV for that matter! What a great band with music that still sounds great today.
No more sadness, no more sorrow, and no more bad times Everyday comin' sunshine, everyday everybody laughin' Walkin' together by the river, walkin' together and laughin Everybody singin' together, everybody singin' and laughin' Good times, good times, everybody walkin' by the river now Walkin', singin', talkin', smilin', laughin' diggin' each other Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand :) :) :)
The Guess Who are music gods. Wish more kids my age listened to the classics, it would be awesome to hear someone crank this tune on campus! ... Maybe I should? =)
What immense talent. Burton Cummings. Randy Bachman. I identify with the vocals and the guitar because I do that. The entire band is like WOW. The songwriting is great. Hit after hit. Some say its pop and Top 40. I like it, especially this song
Pierre M No that is insane!! They were one of the best. I can still listen to them for hours on in. It isn't like the crap that floods the airwaves nowadays..
To me this is just another reason why "The R&R Hall of Fame is irrelavent. There are a lot of other bands who have been overlooked also.What a sad bunch of BS!!!Pierre M
Nomadic Traveler Call it the Rock and Roll Hall of Shame. One must suck up to Springsteen to get in. How does The Est. Band ,abackup band that influenced no one and no one would pay to see them on their own get in while Guess Who and some influencial British Invasion bands not in ? An effin disgrace.
omg, such memories!!! runnin the gravel roads and listening to these guys on 8 track, and gettin high. now that i'm 60, if i could go back back, this is where i would go. damn, people were nice to each other.
5 October 1970...wow. That feels like several lifetimes ago and yet it is actually only 52 years. Perspective, it's everything for some. For others it's the TRUTH that reigns Supreme. Peace. Love.
ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED MUSICAL GROUPS EVER. STARTED LISTENING TO THIS GROUP IN 1969, AND I'M STILL LISTENING. " THESE EYES " IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE.
In a complicated world of chaos, we need to bring back the great songs that have a vision and a dream and to do what it takes to fulfill the dream.... For peace and harmony. The Guess Who shared this vision in song.

Music fans out there in the world we need all to get the word out there on line to sign the petition the Guess Who 4 the Hall, to get them in the rock and roll hall of fame in Cleveland in the States, that they hugely deserve!
Wow the talented rock bands we had in the 70's,80,s and 90.s in Canada. Unbelievable. Where is the talent today. There just does not seem to be the great musicians like we had in our younger years.
Great tune! Gosh he's cute and great voice! Love all the good ole tunes! Thank you to all that puts these oldies on here cuz ys just don't here tbem on the radio anymore!
Because people realized communism is an ideology that only works on paper. And the hippies put down the drugs,cut their,got jobs on WS and in colleges,bought million dollar homes they surrounded with fences to keep their own kind out.

Burton Cummings had one of the greatest, and most unique soulful voices in rock, period.
Totally agree. 💯
I so agree! One of the very best!!
agreed. 100%
Agreed! Perfect....
Stand Tall. Yes he has the voice.
One of the few bands who could actually play live and sound just like their record. Great band!
Absolutely 💯
I totally agree!
Heard them at the North Van Rec Centre circa 1973. Very impressive! (and I'd already attended concerts featuring the Beatles, Stones and the Chicago Transit Authority among others)
You're absolutely right on brother. But in the swinging sixties hippies didn't like The Guess Who and the Beatl
Led Zeppelin couldn't, they sounded awful live.
Let’s get the Guess Who nominated to the R&R Hall of Fame in ‘22. It’s a crime that this seminal R&R band isn’t there already
Let's start a credible organization that truly represents the greats of Rock and Roll. The RR Hall of fame is just a guy who has no merit, just political and personal views.
@@ericstandefer9138 exactly
@@knk4ever83 Madonna's in the RR Hall of Fame & the Guess Who is not, maybe they should call it the Bullshit Hall of fame. . .

Should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame!
I guess they don`t want to pay the 10,000 dollars it costs
I agree with you Christopher...
The "Hall of Shame" is a f*cking joke...the list of great musicians not inducted, and the list of nobodies who are, is beyond contempt.
So should JGEILES band.
They should have been inducted at least 15 years ago. Shame.
I’m an American kid that grew up in Seattle during this period. This country had it’s share of great 70’s music that I enjoyed. But damn I loved these guys and especially Burton with that strong, silky voice. One of a kind! Thank you Canada.
Bachman had left but Winter filled in perfectly with great writing and phenomenal guitar!

Your Welcome.......from Winnipeg.
That ending though. Gave me chills. One of the greatest harmonies ever. Rock n Roll hall of fame missing these guys.
💯%💥
Oh man! What an awesome ending! It gave me chills, too!
Me too, always loved that part
This song paints a beautiful vision of a world I’d like to live in.
Greatest Canadian band ever! Love his voice.
Uh..Rush?
This song... Burton's voice and piano, the backup vocals, the subtle bass, the guitar solos and the fantastic drums..all make a perfect song.
I'm from Syracuse New York and I've been listening to these guys for decades. I was fortunate enough to see them at the State Fair. They're still rocking and sound just as good as ever!😊
It's no longer them.
They only have one original member.
Burton Cummings has the most unique voice I've ever heard and The Guess Who's hits wouldn't have been the same without him.
Lady Suzette Burton Cummings once said he was frustrated because he had been lead singer on 20 million record sales and yet never had his name on a vinyl record

they can induct rap band s but not thing legendary canadian rock band
come on Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this doesn't add up
The first 8 words of your comment was sufficient.

Collin Morris well said!!

i absolutely agree. i saw them in a cabaret show in Reno and it was incredible. Burton Cummings wasnt with them but they were still incredible.
Collin Morris their still good
Boy do I miss these days!
Man, me & you both.
Me too.

Best decade for music. 63 now and I still remember these songs word for word. I was a nerd and proud of it.
The Guess Who...PURE CLASSIC GREAT ROCK!!!!!!
What has happened to music???
Sure miss the 70s
I love music from the 70's and am only 24! I hate the music on the radio!
What happened is that they don't use real instruments anymore!

YOUR SO LUCKY! WISH I WAS THERE
I was born in 68. I remember a lot from 76 to today. I miss these days

I was born in '54 so got to enjoy all the great music starting in the 60s.

What a voice!!! Burt Cummings reached down deep and brought the SOUL out👏🏾 👏🏾
Makes me feel good in a bad world. Hard working band.
What a great group! And so underrated!
Back then, people worked in unison with each other. No competition required to be liked.
Whattya call this? Pure....
TALENT.

Don't you love us Canadian artists. Burton is amazing, and he will always be every time he performs.
Burton has an incredible voice --Love it-----!!
Now that's real music-brought tears to my eyes
The best rock voice of all time, hands down!
Burton Cummings has a very unique sound; always loved it!
Peterson is an awesome talent.He has to be the most under-rated drummer(that can sing)in the history of rock and roll.
Amen!
BURTON CUMMINGS IS A MUSIC ICON. PRAISES AND RESPECTS TO HIM.. A LIFETIME OF EXCELLENT MUSIC SHARED WITH THE WORLD. VERY PRECIOUS. THANK YOU, MR. CUMMINGS.

One of the greatest voices in rock.
That's one of the tightest bands, musically and harmonies, that I've ever seen in a video. Incredible!

Your Welcome !
In my book, the Guess Who is the Greatest Band Ever
This song was always, to my mind, underrated and underplayed. The lyrics are very comforting when you're feeling down.
It got a lot of play. The Guess Who were an AM AND FM band-they made great singles and got kind of dismissed as not a together rock band. They were excellent writers and musicians.
This whole album was brilliant - even some well played jazz on it.
I always loved the guitar solo. Better on the actual recording than it is here.
Plus the amazing voice singing these words.
Masterful harmonies. A spiritually moving song from a genius band...
Saw him last summer in Detroit, he even retweeded me. HIS VOICE STILL SOUNDS THE SAME.
Grew up watching these guys in Winnipeg what a privilege 72 yrs old now still love their music
If anyone is wondering, Its Burton Cummings on Piano, Jim Kale on Bass, Gary Peterson on drums, Greg Leskiw( black hair) guitar and the late great Kurt Winter on lead guitar.
Randy Bachman not in the group at this point in time?
ShaolinDragon93
No, Randy left the group in very early 1970. This song was released in Oct 1970 so I would guess this clip would be over the winter of 70/71.
dontrushme2112 Clip is from an October 1970 appearance on The Johnny Cash Show.
Tarantulisimo Thanks for the info !
i thought that was Randy on the guitar!
Burton sounded like a million bucks.
Love the guitar work.
What an incredible voice and band from Canada, I think..........................................thanks for all the great music.
This is probably my favorite Guess Who song. I love it just as much today as when I first heard it. Burton sings it with so much emotion!
The band was really giving everything they had. You could see it in the harmonies. Great live performance
This is one of my favorite songs by the Guess who ❤
If I were stranded on an island & had to pick only 2 or 3 albums (c.d.) I would pick the Guess Who's greatest hits. I'm in my 60s now & still love to listen to their music. Almost daily on U Tube.

Great lyrics, great band, Burton sings the heck out of hit, and Canada begins to find a national pop-culture identity.
Ben listening to them since I was a kid! Great band!!! I’m 63 and still love em.
Burton Cummings was one of the most,if not the most under rated vocalists of the golden age of rock.
This group sounds every bit as good live, if not better, than they do recorded. Such talent is so rare.
No more sadness, no more sorrow, and no more bad times
Everyday comin' sunshine, everyday everybody laughin'
Walkin' together by the river, walkin' together and laughin
Everybody singin' together, everybody singin' and laughin'
Good times, good times, everybody walkin' by the river now
Walkin', singin', talkin', smilin', laughin' diggin' each other
Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand :) :) :)
So right on......couldn't be more right on.
Burton Cummings a voice that can't be imitated a true legend in his own right.
The Guess Who are music gods. Wish more kids my age listened to the classics, it would be awesome to hear someone crank this tune on campus! ... Maybe I should? =)
Burton Cummings Rocks Awesome Voice
my favorite by them, and one of my alltime favorites.
these gents could crank. good seeing them do this live.
What immense talent. Burton Cummings. Randy Bachman. I identify with the vocals and the guitar because I do that. The entire band is like WOW. The songwriting is great. Hit after hit. Some say its pop and Top 40. I like it, especially this song

I will never set foot in the rock and roll hall of fame until The Guess Who are inducted.
One of my all time favs.Forever.The Guess Who

They were actually playing live :O
Great vid, thanks for sharing!
This clip of music and visuals is a Canadian Treasure and Beyond!Thanks for posting!!
I wasn't born until 1976, but I love these old 70s songs. Such a beautiful song with a beautiful meaning.
ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED MUSICAL GROUPS EVER. STARTED LISTENING TO THIS GROUP IN 1969, AND I'M STILL LISTENING. " THESE EYES " IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE.
I've never seen Burton without a mustache before. Wow. But that voice is unmistakable. Terrific.
In a complicated world of chaos,
we need to bring back the great songs
that have a vision and a dream and
to do what it takes to fulfill the dream....
For peace and harmony.
The Guess Who shared this vision in song.
dream oaoaoaoaooon!!! (song reference)

Great band. Burton has best voice ever and best songs ...timeless !
i remember when i was 12 listening to their greatest hits album when i got home from school almost everyday, man wish i could go back in time....
God we had it so right back then. Why did so many turn away from such a brilliant philosophy?
Because people are greedy and selfish...
and because we have too many diferent nationalities living in our country these days and also folks just dont care now days
Billy Blevins
Sadly you hit the nail dead center. They will only realize what we all had when it's gone.
Billy Blevins
What country?
Because people realized communism is an ideology that only works on paper.
And the hippies put down the drugs,cut their,got jobs on WS and in colleges,bought million dollar homes they surrounded with fences to keep their own kind out.
can u imagine 5o plus years still as awesome as ever, my fave group
Another one of the greatest songs ever! Great You Tube Site for great tunes.
One of my first "45's" at 10 yrs old.... played this over and over!
I LIKE THE FACT THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE SINGING LIVE THEY DO IT JUST LIKE THE RECORD. OTHER BANDS JUST DO A MUMBLE JUMBLE.
great voice
