The Guess Who

In this live recording from August 5, 1970, at Gaelic Park in The Bronx, The Guess Who were riding high on the success of their album 'American Woman,' which had been released just a few months earlier. This was a pivotal time for the band, as 'American Woman' not only showcased their distinctive sound but also marked their ascent to international fame. The title track topped the charts, becoming an anthem of sorts. This era was also notable as the band embraced a more politically charged lyrical approach, reflecting the tumultuous atmosphere of the time. Seeing them perform live during such a transformative period adds a layer of historical context; it's like catching lightning in a bottle. Moreover, lead vocalist Burton Cummings and guitarist Randy Bachman were in fine form, captivating audiences with their dynamic presence. This concert captures the essence of The Guess Who just as they were solidifying their legacy in rock music.
