I'm not sure if very many bands who were popular during the late 1960s and early '70s would really be playing very enjoyably thirty years later - especially at a casino in Lake Tahoe. |

Really good bridges in any song can send it over the moon for me. This bridge is definitely one of the best ones. (Another one that gets me is the bridge in the middle of Indigo Girls 'Ghost'.) |

You are welcome for my fellow Canucks Burton and the boys, as well as Neil, Leonard, Joni, Gordon (Lightfoot), Daniel (Lanois)...the list goes on...

A version played at a winery near me sans Cummings and Bachman. Another original member has rights to the name by accident. Would be up for seeing a reunion with BC and RB, meanwhile I am planning on picking up Running Back Thru Canada. |

Well, you probably didn't see the Guess Who, since it wasn't Burton or Randy together, and it was most likely an "amazing simulation." I think I saw that tour as well. It was amazing how many hits they had, and could make a whole show out of so many great tunes. |

Must have seen these guys 20 times. Saw them in a church basement once back in early days. They were great and the band was tight. After Bachman they continued to bring in fine guitar players.

Rated it an 8, but was probably taking the entire album as a whole. Love this collection. |
