Wow, harmony and rock guitar on RP - must be an accident.  Now please return us to the dreamy synth pop.

Burton Cummings -  incredible rock singer!   And composer too.

Were they able to pull-off these nice harmonies in concert?   Curious.

Yup.  American Woman still gets lots of air play up in Canada.  Must be the knee-jerk nationalism.  ;-)

Would gladly go to any show featuring Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman.  Two great rock and roll writers and musicians.

One of my favorite songs from my childhood in the 70's, listening to my sister's 8 track tapes.

Hot damn! Long time favorite that still stands the test of time. Burton had a set of pipes.

Saw them about 6 years ago in Vancouver.  I was utterly, fully and completely blown away by how damn good they were, and how note-perfectly they did every song.  And, it was the original 4-piece band lineup!!

Can't get enough of "The Guess Who".   And not just because I grew up listening to them {#Angel}

Correct! Bachman and Cummings spent their formative years in "The 'Peg" as did Neil Young.

Winnipeg, I was told.  I was living in SW Florida in 1974 with friends from Rosseau, MN.  I bought this album and was telling the guys how good it was.  "We know," they said.  "They played at our prom."  I saw them almost front row a year or two later in St. Paul.  I remember Burton Cummings being very grumpy at stage hands who were having trouble with his piano or sound gear.  But what a voice!

The AM dial is all we had here back then. The FM band didn't start to get interesting until 1974 for us. Just in time, too. I was a high school junior in 74.

I did see them in Toronto in the early 70's, then Burton by himself playing a baby-grand piano, also in Toronto, but 30 years later and 100 pounds heavier. Still had the voice, though.

...and crafted songs with a break and a chorus, melody and creativity, energy and catchiness.

And musical talent instead of lip-sync choreography and faux-pornography.

I saw the Guess Who in 1978 as a warmup act for Nazareth at the Regina Agridome... I was 14 at the time... they were but a shadow of their former selves then, with all the major talent gone... this song makes me realize how really, really good they once were...

I love the Guess Who. They were one of the bands at the first concert I ever went to. It was 1972 and I was 15.
It was called the November Jam at Ontario Motor Speedway in Ontario Ca.

3 Dog Night
The Guess Who
Chuck Berry

and I don't remeber the rest of the line up.

Brings back great memories

These guys played for a friend of mine's high school prom in Rosseau, MN!  Not sure what year, but we both graduated in 1971, so a little while before that.
