The Guess Who Live Performance of Straighten Out at Ontario Motor Speedway
In November 1973, The Guess Who were riding the wave of their immense popularity with the release of their album '#10', which had come out just earlier that year. This live recording at the Ontario Motor Speedway showcases their energetic style and ability to captivate a massive audience, reflecting the band's peak moment. Interestingly, 'Straighten Out' was one of the tracks from this album, highlighting the band's knack for blending rock with thought-provoking lyrics. Having already achieved chart-topping hits like 'American Woman', this performance featured band members Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman at their best, combining powerful vocals and guitar riffs. The 1973 concert not only captured the essence of their music but also marked a time when the band was becoming internationally recognized, solidifying their place in rock history.
