The Guess Who

Before the 1999 live performance of 'American Woman' in Winnipeg, The Guess Who had seen a variety of ups and downs in their career, notably parting ways with original lead singer Burton Cummings in the late 1970s, but reuniting in the '90s for a resurgence. The band released 'The Best of The Guess Who' in 1990, which encapsulated their classic hits, but going into the 2000s, they were riding a wave of nostalgia and renewed appreciation. This performance of 'American Woman', one of their most iconic songs, showcases their enduring appeal—playing live in their hometown, no less! Fun fact: 'American Woman' not only topped the charts in the U.S. but also became an anthem during the Vietnam War era, further solidifying its cultural significance. The energy and nostalgia captured in this 14-minute set are a testament to why The Guess Who remains a beloved act in the rock world.
