The Guess Who

In 1966, The Guess Who were on a dynamic trajectory, poised for significant impact in the Canadian rock scene. Just before the live recording of 'Keep on Running,' they released their album 'Wheatfield Soul,' which included the hit 'These Eyes.' This was a pivotal moment, marking their transition from local sensations to national stars. The live performance captured in Winnipeg showcases their energetic stage presence and tight-knit musicianship before the band skyrocketed to fame with 'American Woman' just a few years later. Fun fact: this gig wasn’t just about music; it echoed the growing cultural vibe of the era, reflecting the youth's longing for freedom and expression. The 1967 live recording serves as a snapshot of The Guess Who's early days, showcasing a band that was getting ready to make waves not just in Canada but everywhere.
