The Guess Who Live Performance of Clap for the Wolfman at Midnight Special

Venue: The Midnight Special Location: Burbank, California, United States Date: March 29, 1974

In March 1974, just before their live performance of "Clap for the Wolfman" on The Midnight Special, The Guess Who had released their album 'Welcome Back,' which dropped in early 1973. This live recording captures the band at a pivotal moment, with their unique blend of rock and pop resonating with a growing audience. Notably, the track itself pays homage to the well-known DJ and personality, Wolfman Jack. It’s a fun and lively performance, reflecting the band's knack for engaging with their fans. The Guess Who, led by the charismatic Burton Cummings, was still riding high from their earlier hits, like "American Woman" and "These Eyes," marking a vibrant era in Canadian rock history. Their sound and charisma during this live recording leave a delightful impression of the early '70s music scene.
