The Guess Who

By the time The Guess Who delivered their electrifying performance of "American Woman" on "The Midnight Special" in March 1974, they were riding high on the waves of their immense popularity. This live recording came just after the release of their album "Share the Land," which had dropped in November 1970 and featured a mix of rock and pop, showcasing their versatility. Interestingly, "American Woman" itself, a song that marked a significant moment in the band's career, topped charts in 1970 and became an anthem of empowerment. The Guess Who was not only one of the first Canadian bands to achieve major success in the U.S. but they also paved the way for others, blending rock with lyrical depth, making their live performance a captivating experience for fans. The energy of both the song and the band during this performance exemplified their status as rock legends.
