Randy Bachman wrote this. He got the idea after hearing the Bob Dylan song "Ballad In Plain D" on the radio. It was a very long song, and just as Bachman was about to turn off the radio, Dylan sang the line "She came undone." The lyrics are about a girl Bachman saw at a party who went into a coma after dropping acid.

it may interest you to know that I saw this lineup within the past 10 yrs [ i cannot recall the date and cannot find it online] at the South Shorre Music circus in Cohasset MA. It was a medium size round venue with a cloth tent roof. Many in the audience were my generation who remember this when it was new and probably, like me, had the 45. They closed with Undun.

[@krishnarajballie4609]

Not this line-up, which includes Kurt Winter, who died in 1997. That would be quite the feat to have seen him within the past 10 years. Burton Cummings hasn't played with the Guess Who in over 15 years, bordering on 20, as Jim Kale bought the name and Burton doesn't have the rights to it, hence the Bachman -Cummings shows where Burton and Randy played Guess Who songs, but couldn't bill themselves as "The Guess Who". "The Guess Who" that has toured for the last 15 plus years, mostly in the USA, where many people don't realize that nowadays drummer Gary Peterson is the only original band member, have been dubbed "Kale's Clones" by Burton. If you go to Burton's FB page you will see that he has had no connection whatsoever with "The Guess Who" for almost 20 years and considers them to be a cover band.

I am from the same home town as the Guess Who. Burton Cummings is an absolute legend. Have met him on occasion...oddly in a three different places around North America and each time he couldn't have been more friendly and engaged. After the first time I introduced myself to him, told him I was from Winnipeg too (and related a story of an old friend who would talk about Burton dancing on the piano to finish a show - he laughed and remembered it well) we spoke for about 25 minutes. Here is the kicker, he remembered me when I ran into him on the street in Toronto and New York. A true talent and wonderful gentleman.

I'm glad you said they were a gift to the 'era'...and not that they were 'pop' rock themselves.

The Beatles were pop rock... David Bowie. Black Sabbath. CSNY. Eagles. Rush. The Band.... All of them, and thousands more... 'Pop' Rock. However. By *intent,* 'pop' rock was(is) simple melodies, usually dance oriented tunes(Disco in this era) or gimmick songs (which every era has), all also known as "Bubble Gum". (In some cases Soft Rock/Easy Listening as well) So as I said previously I'm glad you specified "gift to the era". Because The Guess Who couldn't really be called, 'pop' rock, based on that words intent. :-)

Burton Cummings retired in a small city about a 45 minute drive from where I live. Is cool to see him just out and about when you’re not expecting it. He’s a seriously nice guy!! 🖖🏻🇨🇦😊

I'll keep suggesting "Timothy" by The Buoys...written by Rupert Holmes. It's the only top ten song of it's kind. 🍴💀

Songs like "Undun" and "These Eyes" by The Guess Who are major contributions to the phenomenal music culture of the late 1960's. When I listen to those songs, I have wonderful memories of that time.

Jamal, just say you’re sorry. She’ll let you back in. Hee, HEE!

[@gregscupholm254]

Love this band! Wow, I never knew the great vocalist Burton Cummings also played the flute on this one. Cool. Jamel, "No Time" is a definite must listen song. Big hit, and justifiably so.

If you haven't already you should check out another Canadian band The Tragically Hip. Keep the videos coming!

[@MVPikerMike24]

I've been after Jamal to do the Hip for years.... So many hits and so much talent.

[@Roger-lx6xr]

A Must ... The TRAGICALLY HIP ... New Orleans is Sinking Ahead by a Century 38 Years Old Fifty-Mission Cap So much amazing T HIP to sample!

[@ceirg]

Highway Girl the live version. Love to see his reaction to the rant.

[@HawklordLI]

The song is referring to a 'chick' one of the band members saw at a party who freaked out during a LSD trip.

[@zackattack635]

One of the most underrated bands of that era.

Love this! You can really hear Burton's silky vibrato in his voice. This is one of their earliest songs, fresh out of Winnipeg. My older brothers had this on 45, so hearing it always connects me to them. Great music and a fantastic vocal artist.

[@RoaroftheTiger]

Jamel, Did You note the "Quasi - Brazilian" Rhythm & Feel, of this Tune ?

[@ralphvillanueva8724]

YES!!!!! Thank you for doing this song. No you tube reactions until now. Great song-writing, vocals, guitar and excellent drums. Thank you.

[@RevDrKillJoy]

Requesting: The Guess Who "Ballad of the Last Five Years"

[@Zebred2001]

Oh ya! Great song choice! That's always been one of my favorite Guess Who "non hit" classics! Awesome choice!

NBC's "The Midnight Special" was a great Friday night show back when all the stations went off the air around midnight. This way we got to listen to new live music for an extra hour or so before sign-off. Another example was ABC's Friday night rock show "In Concert" which later became "Don Kirschner's Rock Concert."
