The Guess Who

On February 25, 1966, The Guess Who delivered an electrifying live performance at the Winnipeg Arena, right in their hometown. This was a pivotal moment during their early career, following the release of their album 'Shakin' All Over,' which had dropped just a year earlier in 1965. This album helped catapult them into the Canadian music scene. Interestingly, this live recording captures the energy and charisma that would soon lead to their chart-topping hits. With tracks like 'These Eyes' and 'American Woman' around the corner, it's fascinating to see how this performance foreshadowed their rise to fame. The vibrant local crowd added to the magic, proving just how connected the band was to their roots. Their unique blend of rock, pop, and folk resonated beautifully during this era, making this recording a significant piece in their evolving legacy.
