In late 1966, The Guess Who were on the cusp of major success with their distinctive blend of rock and pop. Just before this live recording in Winnipeg, they released their album 'It’s Time,' which featured standout tracks that showcased their burgeoning sound.

This performance captures the energy and excitement of the band during this pivotal moment in their career, just before they began to gain significant attention in North America. It’s a fascinating snapshot of a band at the brink of exploding onto the international scene, revealing both their raw talent and the vibrant musical landscape of the 1960s.
