Bus Rider - The Guess Who Live Performance at Kansas State Fair

Date: September 27, 1970

In September 1970, The Guess Who delivered an electrifying performance at the Kansas State Fair, highlighted by their classic "Bus Rider." At this point in their career, the band was riding high on the success of their album "American Woman," released earlier that year. This album not only topped the charts but also showcased their unique fusion of rock and pop, cementing their reputation as one of Canada’s premier bands. Notably, they became the first Canadian band to achieve a number one hit in the U.S. With tracks like "No Time" and the powerful title track, they were blazing a trail through the music landscape. This live recording captures the raw energy and charisma of Burton Cummings and the band, reflecting their peak popularity and the cultural zeitgeist of the era, as they connected deeply with audiences across North America.
