The Guess Who

In March 1973, The Guess Who performed 'Those Show Biz Shoes' live during their appearance on ABC's 'In Concert,' marking a high point in their career just after the release of their album 'Artificial Paradise.' This album, released in January 1973, showcased their evolving sound and featured a blend of rock and introspective lyrics, capturing the essence of early '70s music. By this time, the band was already established as a significant player in the rock scene, best known for their hits like 'American Woman' and 'These Eyes.' Their live performance at the iconic Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, packed with electric energy, illustrates their prowess on stage and solidifies their legacy as one of Canada's coolest exports. It's fun to think about how these performances fueled their reputation while solidifying a connection with their audience, both then and now.
