Burton Cummings - My Own Way To Rock - with The Guess Who

[@infradig8]

Always liked his voice. And what a piano player too!

[@cottagechskitty]

Nobody is a better vocalist than Burton Cummings. Nobody. And he does it while bopping all over the place :)

[@hmackie6823]

Stand Tall is a good song that demonstrates his voice

[@hmackie6823]

I concur

[@hmackie6823]

maybe one better vocalist...Otis Redding

[@455Transam]

Roger Daltrey gives Burton a run for his money.

[@hmackie6823]

the better vocalist died in a plane crash...Otis Redding

[@tonyajohnson827]

Bought the album still own it. Still love it...Been a fan of Burton Cummings with and without The Guess Who......The man is amazing !!!!!

[@davidpreston4019]

Hello Tonya, 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😊🌹

[@hmackie6823]

Welcome Back from the War,Randy!

[@DrummingMan1]

I mean that snare sound! reminds me of when I used to practice my chops on my old, mothers, beanbag chair! still trying to get that sound today in my rock and blues outfit! maybe it's EQ? Anyhow, great performance!

[@1245102]

EQ definitely plays a role and some compression. Also, the tuning of the snare is not as high in pitch. From the mid 70s to the late 80s, a lot of drummers had a fat and deep snare sound.

[@patbrennan6572]

thats what rock is all about.

[@gqjohnny]

Been a big Burton fan since 69/70. Never saw him in person until August 2001 at Syracuse NY. Have seen him more than a dozen times since, and never been disappointed. Will be watching for shows this year, will travel almost anywhere. How about that for an endorsement?

[@cre8lite11]

gqjohnny please take me with you

[@cre8lite11]

I want to go to, if anyone's going please take me with you, I only saw him once in Santa Barbara several years ago my hometown for 60 years but not anymore I miss it dearly now in the boonies where there's no culture

[@ronzoni68]

not only is Burton the best voice in R&R, he can play the hell out of that piano...great riffs

[@bwho]

Watching and hearing that video just brought me tears of utter joy! I kid you not. This man not only posesses the best voice in rock, he can write a mean boogie-woogie rock and roll tune, too! Whoo-hoo! Rock and roll!

[@Dogheadj]

@bwho : I'll second that. Burt is the best vocalist I've ever heard, and I'm 55 years old and have played professionally for a number of years. Burt's been my absolute favorite for many years.

[@gigglecheeks123]

Wow he sure gave it up in that performance. Canadian Gold ! Can't express how much we appreciate you!

[@B52sguy]

Just another of the great songs by Burton. A pure musical treasure of Canada. Thank you Canada for the greatest rock band OF ALL TIME!. JF

[@burlingtonbill1]

Absolutely on-fire BRILLIANT !! Nothing better !!!!

[@anitashelby]

Awesome Performance!!! 5*s Thanks for sharing...Anita..

[@davidpreston4019]

Hello Anita , 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😊🌹

[@GraemeBerke]

The greatest Canadian rock band.

[@Dayniac4324]

WOOO HOOOO !!!! Love it ! Thanks !!

[@davidpreston4019]

Hello 👋 , 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😊🌹

[@hrdonucdnable]

Oh and he still rocks, Last seen September 2012 at Sun Peaks Resort, British Columbia. WOW like he did not want to leave the stage. He has so much great music and stories to share! We love you Burton ...

[@yt354]

I played this song in an old band 20 years ago. It's as much fun to play as it is to listen to..

[@TheInvincibleViolet]

That's what you call TALENT and SHOWMANSHIP. The KEY to it all !!! Long live Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman.!!!

[@leondurupt]

Thanks to cousin Roger for buying this album for me when I was 12 years old. It's what made me want to be a rock keyboard play and I'm still at it to this day. Thanks most of all to Burton.

[@B52sguy]

Christ, 25 yearsw plus, and still, just still!!!! one of the best piano seranades ever. You just plain assed rock Burton. and this, is 5 years after that.! May God bless you for the fun you brought to a confused and musically challenged generation. Joseph

[@TheBrenda259]

yeaaaaaaaa got my tickets for Moncton show August 17 - my 4th Burton concert - he NEVER disappoints. He got his own way to rock and it's fabulous!

[@davidpreston4019]

Hello Brenda, 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😊🌹

[@gqjohnny]

One of those times when the live is actually better than the recording, it doesn't get better than this. Love Burton's scat at the end

[@rocketmailvideos]

Great video!. It was treat to have have met Burton back in my radio days. Pls visit my Radio Rock and Roll Days to see a neat shot of him & I backstage.

[@midlynn]

Best voice in rock, Burton Cummings is!

[@FordBroncoForSale]

You are Awesome!

[@jengolf]

Hi all... holy smokes! I saw him last night in Vancouver... aMAZing. He is 61 and is still so cool, so talented- and a funny man! People went nuts, and were mostly his age-ish!

[@garysmusiclist]

Start those engines, There's a Canadian in the house...woohooooooo!!!!!!...Kick that keyboard up a notch!

[@burlingtonbill1]

InSANEly great !! -- B.C. is the TOTAL performer !!!!

[@trevdec6201]

Love you Burton Cummings for your music 🎶 best wishes ❤ trev Dec singer songwriter

[@B52sguy]

This is simply one of the best "Live" performances ever captured on camera. In my opinion. of course. ABBA and Burton and the Guess Who are my favorites of a generation past, and I;m 61. JF

[@bryanjeske6856]

Beauty rock n roll song from Burton Cummings and The Guess Who - one of their BEST !!!

[@lonelyheroine]

Now that's some quality performance. Burton, you never let us all down. You're amazing!! I love you!!!

[@Shadowkey392]

Love this song!

[@shsnj]

Never heard this song before, but that's some great rockin'.

[@twinturbo3470]

I used to drink a pile of whiskey to this song. Drink till I fell over then got up and drank some more whiskey..........what a great life

[@kenlegg9042]

Thats some KICK ASS Rock'N Roll !!!

[@goldengirl67]

These guys are so talented and compliment each other - just amazing!

[@molly195957]

I had this tape when I had a screamin Opel GT. Loved to jam gears on my way around the winding roads to the coast. What great memories!

[@SolarTrainerPaul]

"My Own Way To Rock"....is the GREATEST Album? EVER!!!!! I wore-out an 8-Track tape of it. I paid $40. for a 33LP Album, jst to have it for posterity! Burton is the BEST!!! I jam to his tunes whenever I need to ROCK!! He set the pace, with his jammin' on the Piano Keys....the keys never stood a chance!!

[@molly195957]

My Opel GT song screaming along Oregon backroades! I ripped this UP tape up! Thanks Burton!

[@patriciahecker619]

Love this man,what a voice,what a man and the man can play that piano.

[@marybertani1]

Burton on the piano is a real treat. Just amazing!!!

[@jengolf]

Oh boy. If you ever get the chance. People were remarking that he is still hitting all the notes, playing the songs in the same key... And he is talented, yet down-to-earth and humble. Seems to be enjoying himself, there is "joy" there. I came to know his music in the 80's, my own way to rock, your backyard, fine state of affairs, THEN realised he was the other genius half of the Guess Who. WOW! Wow. Wow. When the key board started for "These Eyes," WOW!!!!

[@sakurabloom123]

I LOVE this kind of music!!!!

[@lgcrooks]

Ahhh. You babies, never lived real rock and roll! Here it is Thanks to KZbin, you can!

[@kevinmcnulty292]

What a great bunch of guys

[@hmackie6823]

the guitarist is Randy Bachman of The Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive

[@dlpine71]

Thanks for sharing, Toni - Dayniac4324 - my little rocker!!! LOL Great post, IdolAmerica!! Five stars!! David

[@RC21Canada]

If you want to forget all your troubles and problems in the world for a few hours, go see Burton Cummings in concert. He puts on the best show and all your troubles will be forgotton (well at least while you're there).

[@hmackie6823]

Burton is special

[@Dogheadj]

Along with Paul Rodgers, one of the best vocalists ever.

[@pamwilliams-fritts1593]

Burton Cummings rocks❕

[@davidpreston4019]

Hello Pam, 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😊🌹

[@AnnHattieAnn]

OMG - the BurtonFace @ 2:36 ... priceless!! Lovelovelove you BC! lol

[@Fishyneil]

Epic video with an incredible band. Thanks for posting.

[@farmnut]

holy crap .. that ROCKED!

[@JustinTurdoCastro420]

Made this my ringtone 😁👌

[@GuyMorey]

I was at this concert. This is the REAL Guess Who for all those who have been duped or scammed by the current BOGUS Guess Who band who is misleading people in order to get these unfortunate people to come to their concerts. Long live Randy and Burton.

[@molly195957]

Who ever can't relate to this song has never been out on a Friday night or ever owned a cool car!

[@AnnHattieAnn]

Lord how I love those two young girls at 3:20-3:24 ! Take my silver dollaaaah, change it into quarters, shove 'em in the record machine. Bet they're still rockin' to this tune just like I am. :o].

[@theresamacdonald8083]

I love Burton Cummings !

[@BrendaMorgan-ne7fu]

[@mariateresasteccanella4716]

Burton seguro que baile rok con tu música, te amooooo

[@weeyin1155]

An excellent upload...thank you! Thanks also to Dayniac4324 for sharing! 5***** :0))

[@davidpreston4019]

Hello Joan, 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😊🌹

[@lgcrooks]

@TheInvincibleViolet Well, not sure what Burotn is up to these days, but Randy is still rocking. Has teamed with Fred Turner again (of BTO) and on tour. (All Winnipeg boys.) They sound as good as they ever did! I don't know how Fred's voice stands up!! He still can sceam it out. Randy has a show on CBC radio in Canada. Let me know if you want the times/stations.

[@lgcrooks]

Sign a petition to get these guys into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Google "Guess Who petition", but don't use the quotation marks

[@MimicoSound]

sick!!awesome song

[@Classiclover181]

This Boston Boy was hooked with Wheatfield Soul... The man is a legend

[@bwho]

@Dogheadj No doubt. I love old Guess Who songs. Like 'Attila's Blues' and 'Road Food' off the 'Road Food' album. That is a band that took Kurt Winter's enormous talent for writing and playing blues songs and Burton's great voice and piano work and great talent for writing songs and just plain rocked the house for many years. What a great band. Not to mention Randy Bachman's great abilities as well. Makes for one great time was had by all! Rock On!

[@rockerbox1973]

stonkin` song bruv! bought the single.

[@HeavyMetalBluegrass]

That's how you do it folks!

[@StevePrentice]

Great camera work on this video. It shows just how great a pianist BC is. Some nimble left hand work there. Could have done with more video of the bass player, that walking bass line is top notch.

[@davidpreston4019]

Hello Stave, 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😊🌹

[@hmackie6823]

love that Baby Grand

[@Opheliadendron]

MY HERO.

[@TheBluesRock]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh i love him ...

[@warrenjg4598]

bass line badass

[@lgcrooks]

I know I have posted here before (several times, maybe!) but wouldn't these guys have been great on the American Grafitti sound track! After all, they did the Wolfman thingee!

[@hmackie6823]

Celebrities seem to be the last people who grasp this concept,because they don't live like an average citizen they live a "sheltered" life fed information u need to know and no more

[@keef186]

Haha, I was at this show with my parents if this is from the CNE Bandshell in Toronto. Not a 100% sure.

[@hmackie6823]

the guy is playing a white Baby Grand Piano....prtty classy....and Randy Bachman...remember,this is the internet,take my "knowledge" of pianos,with a grain of salt

[@theresamacdonald3551]

❤

[@hmackie6823]

I certainly hope we all know that guitarist is Randy Bachman

[@godhere6459]

no

[@marcob6880]

[@davidpreston4019]

Hello 👋 , 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😊🌹

[@lgcrooks]

Maybe not Jerry Lee on the piano, but pretty damned good, wouldn't you say?! And Jerry never had a band like this!!

[@goesfastandfar]

Is that Randy Bachman on guitar? Sure looks like him!

[@PlayzwithCarz]

Do you have the video from this same concert of the song Star Baby ???

[@hmackie6823]

a white Baby Grand Piano...that's Class

[@hmackie6823]

[@kevinmcnulty292]

Pink cat good steak be cool thanks for the great day

[@unknowunknow4462]

[@kevinmcnulty292]

We closed your bar and partied till 5 am cops were waiting for you to leave early so we jammed till sun up waynesboro va

[@galactic904]

Pandemic be Gone!

[@lgcrooks]

Ya think so? I know he has a classical background. Actually, when I listen I think you might right. Eevn though I grew up on Jerry Lee.

[@threeofakindbygeneraldean3007]

Reunion for the ages, not! Money was probably right and they have nothing better going on anyhow. On the other hand, getting all four "original" members together must have been worth something in the 1980s.
