I've always considered myself a Guess Who (and Bachman-Turner Overdrive) fan, but I'd never seen that performance, and that was insane! Bachman's solo was, of course, next level, but the whole band was great! I've always loved Burton Cummings' voice. And they were having so much fun! I loved it.

[@TheThamesmen]

It is an epic performance. So fun to watch

[@SnoBear626]

YUP. Zactly!!! Me too.

[@SpiroFleecy]

New to me too And I LOVED IT!!

[@obelisk21]

I am a Canadian in his mid-fifties with a mother who loved music so I grew up on this stuff. I have always considered Randy Bachman the Godfather of Canadian Rock and he blazed a trail for so many Canadian artists who walked in his footsteps in the snow.

[@TheThamesmen]

He was fucking epic

[@byronmitchell3784]

GUESS WHO, "AMERICAN WOMAN". What an outstanding live concert version. Just epic. There are Two less mentioned track's that became my favorite. "HANG ON TOO YOUR LIFE", and "ALBERT FLASHER".

[@111oooo]

Bachman gives a lot of credit to Lenny Breau for teaching him guitar licks, and Gary Peterson is a very underrated drummer

[@briandufoe3719]

I totally agree with you Peterson's drumming,I've always liked his drum sound,underrated is correct,it always seemed so effortless for him, I read years ago he took jazz drum lessons before the rock sound came,

[@Guy-kn6jt]

Don’t forget about Kurt winter nobody ever talks about him!

[@scottnewton9060]

The lead singer, Burton Cummings is an amazing vocalist. His solo work is really great. Check out Stand Tall, I'm Scared, Timeless Love, Break It To Them Gently, Your Backyard, and I Will Play a Rhapsody. Guess Who songs are Undone, These Eyes, No Sugar Tonight - New Mother Nature. Cummings cover of When a Man Loves a Woman is outstanding.

[@plotmaker]

HOLY CRAP! Always loved these guys, but have never seen this performance. Bachman is beyond the mortal plane!

[@TheThamesmen]

How amazing was he. Truly spellbinding

[@mick1535]

Hi Guys Loving Canada wk you have just scratched the surface Canada Wk 2 aussie here

[@jamesstubbs2228]

Wow wow wow !! When you think you know a song and then this just happened. Holy moly thanks again to Chris.

[@TheThamesmen]

Bravo Chris for finding such an epic version

[@maruad7577]

The concert had been interrupted by a thunderstorm. The crowd was still there after the storm passed so the concert continued. Randy Bachman (in Winnipeg pronounced Backman) used to go hang out at the music store with Neil Young, staring at the guitars they couldn't afford. Not bad for a bunch of old guys who cut their teeth playing at community club sock hops.

[@TheThamesmen]

Oh that’s why they all look so wet

[@jethro1963]

Aside from the rain, thunder and lightning, it was actually pretty dangerous with high winds blowing the towers. The band left the stage for a while and likely would have cancelled if it wasn't their hometown. Guitarist Donnie MacDougall's senior citizen mother stayed and made her ways towards the front of the crowd.

[@jethro1963]

Aside from Neil Young, Randy was good friends with jazz prodigy Lenny Breau (who had an admirer in Chet Atkins) and the band would be met in Fort William (Thunder Bay) Ontario by their fan Paul Shaffer (David Letterman).

[@dianaa9826]

The Guess Who is a phenomenal band, just love them..Burton Cummings, one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time... Lead guitarists Randy Bachman (BTO) is brilliant.... Canada ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheThamesmen]

You could tell from the video we absolutely loved it

[@Vrakom]

5:42 - The comment about ''the crowd staying'' refers to an hour-long delay caused mid-show by a severe electrical storm. I've been to hundreds of concerts but too young in the early 70s I had to wait for this tour to pass by Montreal to see the Guess Who. Schooled in Rock I knew the repertoire, the history and ''American woman'' is an anthem. But they blew everybody's mind with that extended version and to this day I'll swear it went longer than 14 minutes (the intro itself passing from 90 seconds to 6 minutes.) I beleive the Winnipeg concert was part of the Canada Day celebrations, thus a more reserved crowd. The one I attended looked like the Rio crowd reacting to Rush's YYZ.

[@sid7088]

They've still got it.👍🇨🇦

[@TheThamesmen]

Good to hear

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

This must have been the reunion tour in 1999. If you were alive in Canada in the 60's/70's you who knew who they were. One of Canada's most important bands. They are a cornerstone of Canadian rock.

[@TheThamesmen]

It was an epic performance

[@davidmacgregor5193]

It was recorded in 2000 as part of the bands 'Running back thru Canada' tour. There is a single CD and double CD available, both contain this version of 'American Woman'.

[@nodrush80]

Canada week? Not nearly enough time to discover or pay tribute to the massive amount of talent from there. Always proud to grow up having Burton as a cousin.

[@Timoeltejano]

Holy hell!!! That was amazing. Simply amazing. Thank you gents for bringing this to the unwashed masses.

[@TheThamesmen]

Was so good. Loved it. Thanks for the support

[@tbroda2351]

Sorry, not sorry...us Canadians know we have fabulous musicians😊

[@darcymartin7608]

I live in Winnipeg and this concert was held in our baseball stadium on June 30th. July 1st is Canada Day - that is why you see so many Canadian flags in the audience. When Burton Cummings said at the beginning of the concert, only Winnipeggers would stay - it is because there was a torrential rainstorm prior to the Guess Who taking the stage. You should really watch the interview with Burton Cummings saying how they wrote American Woman on the stage ad lib. They are amazing!

[@philrichmond5919]

Ticks all the boxes - rock solid rhythm, great vocals, a guitarist who knows a solo doesn’t need all the notes if you just play the right ones with feeling, and there’s cowbell! Randy’s slide guitar was impeccable.

[@TheThamesmen]

I loved it!!!

[@garylogan3640]

Amazing rendition, Bachman is a monster on guitar and Cummings' vocal ability has lost nothing through the years

[@PROGROCK-tr9hw]

Nice

[@mrnobody9104]

Cheers lads great reaction of an iconic Canadian band! If you choose to hit BTO consider Let it Ride with Fred Turner on vocals. He and Randy Bachmann had great tunes and Fred has one of my all time greatest R&R singers!!!

American Woman brings back memories of my 9yo self "buying the 45rpm single at the record shop" with my pocket money. My second favourite song at the time behind Marrakesh Express

[@CaptainTedStryker]

This was a reunion concert in their hometown of Winnipeg. Both the band and audience clearly having a great time!

[@TheThamesmen]

As did we watching it!

[@barbararees604]

Thoroughly enjoyed that! I miss those times of excellent music and freer times. Yeah I know, they're older now, but they were in the thick of the best.

[@TheThamesmen]

It was still so goddamn good

[@lakelili]

THE perfect rendition! Wow! Not heard it before and I am so glad that you shared it with us. Thanks Chris! Kudos on this one.

[@mackay4740]

Love that band and what an epic performance!!! More please!!

[@longalloway7851]

Randy got sick after this album was released and left to heal, causing hard feelings so this lineup of the band changed. Could be the drummer was so happy to play with Rany again.

[@barwaz10]

This was there "Running Back Thru Canada Tour" in 2000. This performance was filmed in their hometown of Winnipeg, MB. on a rainy night at the Forks.

[@TheThamesmen]

Thanks for the background info

[@festidious2644]

You guys just popped up on my smart tv tonight for the first time. Thank you for the great reaction to this video. I have suggested this elsewhere on other reaction channels with no results and it was a lot of fun. American Woman was one of my least liked tracks of theirs but when I saw this concert for the first time, I couldn't stop playing it. I think I'm going to have a good time checking out your reactions. My father moved to Canada from the Bristol area in 1929 so I have English roots. Keep playing the good ones. Canada has a lot of music considering the small population.

[@TheThamesmen]

Welcome aboard, squire - Dig deep and be well!!

[@davidlisowski5245]

The arrangement for this performance of the song is similar to the one on their Live at the Paramount album from 1972 with a slightly different lineup (Kurt Winter in place of Bachman on guitar and Jim Kale on bass). It segues into another track called Truckin Off Across the Sky.

[@scrivener68]

The Guess Who playing Winnipeg is like the Beatles playing Liverpool. What a concert.

[@TheThamesmen]

Nice!

[@robertcartier5088]

This song used to be the ringtone for my American fiancée... When she found out she -bitched about- objected to the lyrics, saying, _"What do you mean, 'Stay away from me?!'..."_ . So I changed it to "Layla" by Derek and the Dominos. Now when she calls, my phone reminds me that she _"got me on my knees"_ 🙄

[@stevemartin9688]

Hilarious

[@vincentroberts8292]

Thank you A&G and Chris. Loved this live version. I remember when American Woman was released in Australia and I sought out more of their music which were at the time only available in an import records shop. Then of course had the BTO albums later on with Bachman's brilliant guitar riffs. Hard to top that.

[@AngryPete]

Epic!....needs more cow bell! Canadia and Straylia had heaps of top bands that were massive in our home countries. Bert knows how to play a audience, love your work, rock on!

[@colecolettecole]

have you checked out their songs > no time / undun / these eyes / laughing < the last 2 are ballads & burton cummings voice is beautiful ~

[@byronmitchell3784]

GUESS WHO, "AMERICAN WOMAN ". A great Live version of this classic song. The Band was fantastic, The Singer Burton Cummings voice was a treasure. Two less mentioned tunes, that became my favorite. "HANG ON TOO YOUR LIFE", and "ALBERT FLASHER".

[@geraldarsenault275]

being from prince edward island canada that is one of the funniest and accurate desciptions of Canadian US ever, laughed my head off of course the guess who fantastic

[@skipwilliam5639]

This is amazing as I have seen them both a few times.. BTO was one of my favs growing up..And seen the Guess Who a couple times..

[@johnmckinnon420]

Haven't seen anyone mention its a protest song. As a patriotic American who loves the Statue of Liberty and memorized the poem as a kid, I'd have to say it's one of my favorite protest songs😊.

[@BobSoltis1]

It is NOT a protest song! Burton Cummings - who wrote the lyrics - has explained this for the last 50 years.

[@skipwilliam5639]

The best part of this song is how it was written. In Randy Bachmans own words They were waiting for Randy to get back on stage and the crown grew restless and wanted more so he adlibbed the words.. They went and found a guy making a bootleg copy of that nights concert with his gettoblaster and got a copy of this song and the rest is history.

[@BobSoltis1]

Nope - It was Burton Cummings who was late getting back to the stage and Randy started playing the riff on his guitar to signal Burton to come back. The crowd was really digging the riff so Burton just started scatting some lyrics. You are right about the bootleg recording though.

[@popefrancis885]

I have watched a number of your videos. I find them very enjoyable. Thankyou and blessings.

[@TheThamesmen]

We are not worthy

[@JeromeDukes]

Dang Randy looks scruffy and old compared to the last time I saw them play back in 2003 SARS Festival. Love the song and all but wasn't expecting much....boy was I wrong. OMG, that was 🔥🔥🔥wish I was there to see that live. I think I'll be watching that video at least 100 times, since I play guitar and the video had some close up on his hands. I'll be checking the other videos of Canada Week. From a top Canadian bands pov, Rush and The Guess.are awesome Another band on the same level, is Triumph. Hopefully they make your list for this week. Saga, April Wine are those under appreciated bands with some awesome hits as well. There are a ton more that I can name but when it comes to absolute rock classics (in the same vein as American Women) I hope you boys get around to doing a reaction to: The Kings - This beat goes on/Switchin' to Glide Prism - Armageddon April Wine - Roller

[@timwhitnell7145]

Amazing. I had not seen this before. I've always had great respect for Randy Bachman but this just elevated him into the rarefied rock stratosphere for me. Love to see old rockers still rockin' out and still be great at it. Bachman is such a great guitarist and an interesting guy. You should check out his Vinyl Tap podcasts. Burton Cummings is such an underrated lead singer; he had a very good solo career as well. Randy and Burton had some friction over the years but always seem to have totally respected each other. Other Guess Who hits to react to include Undun, No Time, These Eyes, Runnin' Back To Saskatoon, Hand Me Down World, Hang On To Your Life, Share The Land, Albert Flasher, Rain Dance, Bus Rider, Star Baby etc.

[@Lisa-vk2jw]

Guess who was an awesome band, they should be in the rock and roll hall of fame. They aren’t because they are Canadian.

[@TheEricBooth]

Well that was awesome. Nice to see John Goodman was available that night to play drums.

[@maruad7577]

Gary Peterson (the drummer's other name) had an uncle who lived down the street from me when I was growing up. His uncle played drums as well.

[@timbriere2325]

Props to Gerry Petersen for his drumming. Check out American Woman/Truckin Off Across The Sky from Live At The Paramount, May 1972.

Burton one of the most underrated or over looked vocalist of the late sixties and seventies.

Burton Cummings is the best rock vocalist the world has ever seen (yet). For more Burton I'd suggest watching the appearance of Burton and his piano on the Howard Stern Show. He plays bits of many of the Guess Who hits and talks about them.

Alex Liefson and Randy Bachman must befriends being Canadians , and both playing their guitars way up the fret board 😉

[@sean---the-other-one]

That was great. I’d had some sort of internal block when it came to The Guess Who. It seemed somehow like The Rutles, although not as obviously a spoof, more like they were trying to gain fame in reference to The Who or something. I didn’t even know American Woman was theirs. I got the feeling that Lenny Kravitz’s song was not his, but I didn’t know its origins. That’s the great thing about this channel. Lots of learning and great music. Thanks Chris!

[@TheThamesmen]

Those old farts can sure rock. Burton Cummings Theatre is just a few blocks from where I live. He's performing this month here as well (Winnipeg). You do your home town proud boys!

[@robertpearson8798]

I was lucky enough to see (hear) them do this full version live in concert last summer as an encore. It wasn’t Winnipeg but the crowd still stayed.

[@robertpearson8798]

I was seated next to an American who came to town just for the concert. He was alone and I asked him why. He said his Wife had a previous commitment and I asked him if she was asked by the band not to come😆

It was a big homecoming and a reunification after band members were on seperate paths so hence they went a little more than usual

[@awezman]

The Song "American Woman" was based on a jam the band adlibed on stage and an audience member recorded, a song pandering to the Canadian girls in the audience at the time. The recording of the show allowed them to recreate the feel and add to it in the studio. Professor of Rock interviewed singer Burton Cummings recently here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGiYZKSpZ9CYZ9U

[@TheThamesmen]

Wow. That would have been one hell of a jam

[@AngryPete]

Yes, that was an excellent show Adam did.

[@SilverFox-qr1ci]

The first 6 minutes is an extension of the original intro. Listen to the original album track.

[@JT.Pilgrim]

Great to stumble on this channel guys. I wanted to mention that there is one song I think every Canadian can get behind as #1. As much as we love Gord D, this next song is dedicated to all our Canadian hero’s including GD. the song is called Highway of Heroes by The Trews. Thumbs up Canucks for this song.

[@lencooke944]

I had heard of The Guess Who, but never really heard them. This is something I am going to rectify as this performance was rock solid. I did have a chuckle when Bachman broke the string with the drumstick. I just thought: "that's why we were born with fingers ... for tapping arpeggios". If I was going to be greedy, the only thing in that solo I would have liked is if he used the whammy bar more during the latter sections to make it more sludgy and dirty. Also, what about that bass line holding the solo up? It was perfect. Another great track from Chris the Master.

[@ThisTrainIsLost]

I'm so glad that you got to see/hear that! I have the concert on dvd but it's also on KZbin (The Guess Who: Running Back Across Canada, or close to that). Take a couple of hours out of a weekend, fill up on the psychoactives of your choice (or beer if you live in the slow lane) and have a great time! This Canadian has spoken: so let it be written, so let it be done!

Can you recount it?

[@KaliFlamingo]

@@TheThamesmen It's complicated. The exact details are remembered slightly differently by each band member, but, the song was impromptu on the spot. They happened fo find someone in the audience who had taped it and got the tape from him, so they could write down the lyrics. Lyrics later evolved. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Woman

[@squamishfish]

Nothing to do with this but just a bit of interest,, Eric Claptons father is Canadian, He came to the UK during WW2 as a Canadian soldier where he had an affair with a British lady they became Eric’s parents , The father went back to Canada where he had another son , The son became a popular Guitar player in the Vancouver area but got into the drugs and ended up in the Skids , Eric found out about his brother later in life no one knows what happened to him ,

Couldn't agree more, this was brilliant. Randy Bachman is often overlooked as being a great guitarist, at least by audiences (not Canadian! we know how great he is), until a performance like this pops up. Great blues and rock guitarist...how about jazz? Check out the GW's Undun, their masterpiece imo. I prefer the studio version for the arrangement. He studied with guitar legend Lenny Breau when they were both teens in Winnipeg and learned some great jazz licks.

Great to see some seminal CANROCK. Considering the substance issues Burton Cummings had in his 30's his voice is remarkable in 2005.

Being Thamesmen I really think you could educate today's audience by digging up some video from some other sons of the Thames.....those GREAT souffenders Dr. FEELGOOD!!! Menacing music with dangerous guitar & harp. If you can find some Feelgood with and without Wilko you'd be doing North America a favour. Well done Lads- RM

[@timcarder2170]

If you haven't already, you really should check out Burton Cummings solo work. The lyricism is almost as incredible as the vocals. And Randy Bachman was no slouch either. His post Guess Who stuff deserves some deep dives as well. There's *B.T.O* of course, and his little known, but equally amazing, run with *Ironhorse* (Not to be mistaken for the bluegrass band *Iron Horse* from Alabama...though they aren't bad either). Randy was also in the bands *Brave Belt* and *Union.*
